Advice

While one tourists go to the Crimea on their own cars, overcoming hundreds of kilometers and exposing a turn on the ferry crossing, others rented cars right in place, going on a trip to the Black Sea coast with local rooms. Rambler / travel gives some tips on how to competently take a car and not get into trouble during the holidays.

Book a car in advance

In hot summer season Machines in the Crimea "fly away like pies", so think about renting a car in advance, at least a couple of weeks before the start of vacation. The car is most convenient to take in Simferopol, where the offices of most rental offices are located. Contact several firms, find out the rates and book your favorite. The rental price strongly depends on the brand of the machine and its age. It can be saved by taking a hire, for example, an ancient VAZ-2106, in which there will be no hint of air conditioning, and it will cost 1000 rubles a day. For 1600 rubles, you will get a little more comfortable model ZAZ Lanos and Forza, and for 1800-2500 rubles you can rent Renault Logan, Renault Sandero, Volkswagen Polo, Kia Rio and other cars that are well suitable for travel together.

By the way, a passport and driver's license will be required to rent a car in Crimea. The driver must be not under 21 (ideally from 23). Driving experience - at least two years.

Carefully choose a rental point

When choosing a company, focus on the sign and own intuition. In the Crimea, full and local firms (type "Dandelion") existing forces for a couple of months, and international - like everyone known Hertz and SiXT. In local leases it is cheaper, and it is most often possible to pay in them, without leaving the bank card data. The international trust companies are more, in the contract it is clearly prescribed the payment of the payment of insurance, a fleet of Ponuhee, and so on. But the prices are above there, and to be stumbled (as it happens in the Crimean offices) will not work.

Do not drive in the dark

The roads on the Crimean Peninsula are far from perfect: even asphalt is mainly found only on the main routes. The farther into the forest - the higher the bumps, and in some places you can stumble upon the rubble. Scratches and chips on the sides of the car in such conditions - are not uncommon, so do you discuss this moment in advance with the car rental, if you do not want to make a claim after returning the car to "Garage". Try not to go through winding Crimean roads and serpents in the dark: relying only on the light of the headlights, and get into an accident in the pitch darkness - to spit.

Do not exceed speed

Patrols of road traffic inspectors on the peninsula are usually not picky and caught mainly only for speeding. Have a ready-made driver's license and documents proving that you rented this car.

Fear Vorishek

Do not forget to lock the car, even if you move away from it for just five minutes to buy Cheburek. Do not leave cameras and phone on the seats. There was a case when Muscovites came to the beach, undressed, disassembled things into the car and, forgetting that it should be put on the alarm, they happily fled to swim. Returning, discovered that the thieves pulled out all that was there, clothing and backpacks. To go to the militia to the guests of the Black Sea coast, we had to go to the naked body of automotive covers.

Do not argue with parkers

In the parking lots in Crimea does not try to earn only the lazy. Having stopped within a radius of 300 meters from any sights, be prepared for the rank of "parkers", which for a certain amount will show you wherever you need to put a car. In theory, the places for parking should be free, but incomprehensible people in manicians (which even tickets do not give in exchange for money) will certainly shave with you a couple of Troika. It is meaningless to argue with them, but without paying, you can run into trouble. There was a story when in response to the disadvantage of tourists who had moved to look at the swirl nest, joker released air from two tires. Returning, the driver decided that both wheels were punctured (although they needed only to pump), and spent a couple of hours to get to the nearest tire fitting.

The advantage of movement over the Crimea by car is that you are not tied to transport and specific place Accommodation. You can change the location of the dislocation every day, and if you are not afraid of inconvenience, you can stop in places for camping and sleep in tents. But at your disposal all the coast and not only with countless attractions. So, what to see in the Crimea by car?

The main attractions of the Crimea for autotourists

In fact, versions of movement over the peninsula by car Mass, we offer you an approximate route by the main cities of Crimea by car indicating that they can be found in them.

Sights of Crimea by city:

And let's start our big journey with Kerchi.. This older Hero city is famous not so strong as Yalta, but there is something to look at. For example, antique settlements, monuments and burials, as well as Kerch and Yeni-Kale fortresses.

Next city - Feodosia. Here the main ridge of the Crimean Mountains begins, so nature is simply awesome. In the city you can visit the art gallery. Aivazovsky, walk along the streets and see the many monuments of medieval architecture - churches of various denominations, beautiful fountains, the remains of the Genoese Fortress.

Next stop - Koktebel. Here the steppes and mountains are surprising. The village itself is located at the foot of the Kara-Dag volcano and is adjacent to the famous Karadagh Reserve. It is still worth watching the rock Golden Gate, Cape Chameleon and a quiet bay. Breaks of vintage wines and several museums - the Museum of the Kara-Daga and the House of the Voloshin Museum, where Tsvetaeva Gorky, Bulgakov appeared at one time.

Driving past the solar valley, where stunning views of the vineyards are opening, you will fall into Sudak and settlement New Light. This terrain is very rich in natural attractions, so be sure to pay more time to their visiting. Ride on the scorched steppe Capsel wrap in one of the coves to refresh yourself. And leaving the pike perch, you will come to Zelenogorier to enjoy the landscapes of Panagia and the Mountain Lake.

Further - Alushta And her famous Valley of Ghosts. Try to meet the dawn on the Massier Demerji is a stunning spectacle when bizarre rocks and ledges will appear in front of you in the morning fog. You can also see the fortress Alouston and the Palace of Princess Gagarina.

Next point - Yalta. Monto this place traveling around the Crimea is simply impossible. It is most of all on hearing and it was here without tired thousands of tourists seek. But we advise you not to delve into the city itself, but to ride through its surroundings to see the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, the Massandrovsk Palace and Winzavod, Vorontsovsky Grotto. You can climb I-Petri on the cable car, come down from one of the trail, along the way, visiting the temple cave, the Iographer and Waterfall of Study-Su. Do not go around the parties as such interesting sights of Crimea as the Livadia Palace, the Palace of Emir Bukhara, the Armenian Church and the Roman Catholic Temple. For children, it will be interesting to visit "Polyana Fairy Tales", theater of marine animals, aquarium and zoo.

On the way from Yalta in Alupkayou enjoy the type of swallow socket. And in Alupka itself, you can visit the Vorontsov Palace and the Garden, Alupkin Park, Shan-Kaya's rock and lake near it. Types here are amazing.

From the experience of a trip to the Crimea by car.

Rest in Crimea. Crimea in September. In the Crimea with a tent. Photo from the trip.
Sea Crimea A trip to the Crimea by car with a tent in early September - the most wonderful time! Crossing freely, the people are much smaller, cars on the road too. And the weather is wonderful!
In September 2015, Crimea met the temperature of +36, and mostly it was +30.
If you love a secluded vacation, it is better to stop first for Sudak, without reaching the village of Marine.
Right on the seashore, you can put a tent next to the car. Traveling to the Crimea by car with a tent, of course, you need to plan and choose a convenient route for yourself, planning tent parking on the road, and where to stay for overnight, of course, it is necessary to get to the selected location by car, and not to go on foot under the scorching sun.

Camp on the seashore near S. Morny
There are small amenities - toilet, drinking water, shower. The territory is clean.
In the evening administrators pass and collect money - 100 rubles. From the car.
The most pleasant is silence. Sea is ten meters, clean pebble beach. Here, even from Sudak come to swim.
If a store is needed, you can walk on foot or go to the village, 1 km from the holiday destination.
There are campgrounds, hotels, entertainment, but also people more, which means there are more noise, loud music.
If you look at the sea, then to the left, on Cape Kabania, there is a sanatorium "Sunny Stone". There you can go along the shore on the excursion. Very beautiful park with swings, flower beds, rare trees, a comfortable beach with a shower.
Very clean, people are friendly, resting little in September.
You can climb the mountain, along the sprinkling steep slope, next to the abandoned, unfinished pension of the Lipetsk Plant, go along the top of the Sea village.
Strange this construction was noticed by Fyodor Bondarchuk. He used it in the filming of his film "Inhabited Island".
So at the top there are vineyards. The bottom is not visible. Due to the inaccessibility from this side, the vineyards are not protected. And there is growing almonds.
When climb the mountain, do not forget to make a desire. The view opens amazing to the sea and on the rocks of M. Kaban. Desires come true! Checked on yourself.
From the marine you can make day trips on excursions, leaving a tent on the shore under the supervision of neighbors, and taking valuable things with you.
In the evening, cook delicious food, breathe with sea air, swim, admire the sunset.
By the way, I'm going to cook better on a tile with a gas canister. In Crimea, the problem with firewood, as with drinking water... River little. But if you walk towards the sanatorium "Sunny Stone", then you can stumble on a river, more reminiscent of the stream, called raven. Why this name does not know. There you can take technical water. But, as it was already above, problems with clean water There is no place in this place. You can spend on cooking food, drink, wash, take a shower. No one limits. And this is an important factor in the convenience of traveling with a tent on the car.

Traveling in Crimea

Tarkhankut
Bothering and resting, you can continue the way to the West Crimean Peninsula, on the most Western Cape Tarkhankut. You can set up with a tent anywhere: or closer to the rocks or to the sandy beach, the main thing is to have a fresh water supply, and if not, then stop closer to civilization, for example, not far from the reindeer shoot. Undoubtedly, it will be interesting to visit a snow-white stony slope at a atlesh with green-blue caves and a castel bay, where there are plants listed in the Red Book.



Cape Tarkhankut is a few kilometers the coast with beautiful coves with caves and grottoes, water here is the purest - paradise for diving.



Great, if you are fond of diving, windsurfing, kaiting ... or you want to learn everything to everyone. There are all the conditions for this.
Yes, and the road itself will be interesting. Especially plot of old Yalta road. This is an extraordinary place! Beautiful serpentine from Yalta in Bakhchisarai. What types are opened on the sea, rocks! The road loops on the forest on Ai-Petri, and descends the same serpentine. The feeling that you are in a fairy tale, especially when you meet a roe.
On Ai-Petri you can stay and admire the unusual landscape middle strip Russia. There is cool and constantly wind. There are cafes, viewing platforms.
When descend from the pass down, the road will be held near the unusual rocks. As if the magician giant was thrown cobblestones. Be sure to stop in Bakhchisara. There are something to see. The Khansky Palace, in which Pushkin saw the Bakhchisarai fountain. These amazing vintage streets. Male monastery With the church cut down in the rock. Cave city - Chufut-Kale.
Oh, what peaches sell on the way right next to peach gardens! But the Peaches season July-August.
In Bakhchisara, you can buy fresh food reserves and on the path to Tarkhankut.
An interesting road between the cities of Saki and Evpatoria. Long, long multi-kilometer sand and pebble beach stretches along the sea. And the water is surprisingly turquoise. You can stay and swim, relax. Here you can get up for free, you can call for camping.
Steppen Crimea is not a very beautiful sight. Rare agricultural fields, and so mostly semi-desert with scorched red rocky ground with sticking rare dry herbs.
Roads are not very good. The path lies in S. Renovka. The very village itself is quite civilized, here you can rent accommodation, but if you wish to live on the shore in a tent, you need to still drive five kilometers to the sea, where white rocks with through holes, underwater museum, where boat services are provided and diving equipment.
In general, this place looks better from the sea. All beauty is removed, mainly from there. On the very shore, the dude is a dry rocky desert.
If you want to retire, to the left of the lighthouse to the village of the reindeer stretches the shallow water with an amazing rocky beach. All stones are "chicken gods" with holes, bright, multicolored.
Tents stand at a great distance from each other. Silence. The sea is very warm, clean.
Again, there is a problem with firewood for a fire and drinking water. Therefore, the best output is a gas cylinder with a hiking stove and a supply of drinking water.



Near Olenevki
Orlovka
From Cape Tarkhankut you can go to P. Zellovka.



N. Eaglovka
Here is wonderful sand beach. There is a river in the sea, so there are no problems with technical fresh water.
Near shops, entertainment, recreation centers.
The only inconvenience is a strong wind. It is difficult to keep the tent on the shore. But if you do everything right - to fix well, then relax is one pleasure here! Water clean, velvet sand, a little people.
Lyubimovka



Lyubimovka
Then you can go to your favorite (it is near), put a tent and relax right by the sea.
Coast sandy-stony, hangs a clay break, protecting against wind.
There is a recreation center and campgrounds, shops, entertainment.
But rest in silence on the very seashore is great!
The same question is fuel and water. All with me.
Sevastopol



Wild Beach in Omega Bay
Oh, this is a separate story. There are so many attractions!
One day is not enough to inspect everything.
With a tent, we stood in the city itself in the "pilots" microdistrict, on the very seashore, in Omega Bay.
From there they made a trip to Malakhov Kurgan, Chersonesos, on Sapun-Mountain, in 35 batteries, the fraternal cemetery of warriors - the defenders of Sevastopol, on a black river in the Inkerman region, Cape Fiolent, and others walked along the embankment, watched the city center, museums, panoramas .
Balaclava


Balaklava Bay
Great to go to watch Balaklava! Such a beautiful bay! Closed from the sea (never happens a storm), with yachts different countries, Successful to the shore, with amazing houses, adhering to almost the edge of the water. At high slopes, the Genoese towers, which can be climbed by numerous paths. Stunning views! And the feeling of such an antiquity!
Below traded souvenirs, many cafes, canteens, shops with products. From Balaklava bay you can ride on the boat on a gold or silver beach. There to buy, and on the same boat back to the car. Or take a tent, food, water and spend a few days on the seashore. This color sea water can be seen only in films, thinking that removed with special filters. But in fact the sea here is a real blue, turquoise.
Laspi
Next, you can go to Laspi's bay between Carych and Ayia capes, and specifically - in Baliman.



Baliman.



Baliman Beach.Srasota here is extraordinary! Coordinates: Latitude 44 ° 25'12 "N (44.420068), longitude 33 ° 41'32" E (33.692098).
Until the middle of October, you can swim - the warmest place.
In the rocky shore, millennial juniper grow.
The tent can be delivered for free on any wooden flooring, which are placed on the slope among the trees.
The beach is very exotic, created by nature. Shards of rocks in water, you can float. On the banks of huge boulders and petty pebbles.
To go down the car down, to this place, you have to taper on a narrow road, on the edges of which cars are left near cottages, small hotels, boarding houses. By the way, at the top almost in the side of Yanukovych. Parking itself, where you can leave the car (you need to go until the end of the road) is an amazing spectacle. Machines are tight to each other. On the windshield leave the phone number. If someone needs to go from the parking lot, they call, and the owner of the car comes, makes maneuvers to free the road. Everything is permitted civilized.
A trip to the Crimea by car with a tent is very fascinating! On the road, wonderful views of the sea and rocks open all the time. On the way, you can stop in all amazing corners, and make excursions.
You can complete the trip to the Crimea by car again, on a marriage already shore, near the village of Marine. Spend the night, buy and go on crossing.
It turns out that you traveled almost the entire coast of the Crimea.

The route is suitable for everyone: you can go on it by car, and bus, and on the bike. It is simply impossible to find something sensible on this topic on the Internet, so we took to fill the gap. The route was developed on the basis of our personal experience And plans for a future trip.

Routes in Crimea can be laid a lot - and at the same time, the most different, as far as the fantasy is enough. We offer the Code of Large Travel Route in the Crimea from the Kerch Strait to Tarkhankut, which will allow short term Get acquainted with Crimea: to see the main interesting sights and admire the variety of landscapes.

We have repeatedly been on the peninsula and before each trip to the Crimea made up lists of attractions and routes, but it takes quite a lot of time and effort - the idea was born to systematize accumulated information and experience and create one large travel route in Crimea. This route with a brief list of major attractions will allow you to save time before traveling: no longer need to move the mountains of articles about the sights of Crimea, you just need to clarify how to get to such a cave city or how to climb such a mountain.

This tourist route includes both the cities and villages at the previous and planned to visit. The route may vary at your discretion (maybe you will want to call in Simeiz or Foros), and the list of attractions does not pretend to be full. If you know interesting sights that are not included in the list, write in the comments, we will be happy to supplement the article.

By the way, during travel planning, it will not be superfluous to calculate the approximate - so you will save yourself from excessive costs.

The most convenient I. interesting way Traveling around the Crimea - on a rented car. You can choose a car on the site Skyscanner Car Hire - there is a wide selection of cars, rent from 1,700 rubles per day.

Kerch - Bosphoro Cimmerio

OPEN OWN ROUTE OF BIG journey in Crimea City Hero Kerch. Being one of the oldest cities in the world, Kerch does not attract so many tourists as, for example, Yalta. Many in Kerch are only passing or pay the city no more than one day, and in vain - there is something to see. Many ancient settlements, monuments and burials will be interested in lovers of antiquities: the settlements of Panticapey, Mirmekiy, Tiritaka and Nimfei, Kursky and Malek-Chesmensky, monuments of crypt Demmers and Lapidarium. In addition, there are ancient fortresses Kerch and Yeni-Kale, as well as the Archaeological Museum.

Nature here is not so picturesque and diverse, as in the southern coast of Crimea, but in the vicinity of Kerch you can find amazing places: Soleny Pink Lake Koyash (Opukskoye) in the Opuksky Natural Reserve, Soleny Lake Chokrak with healing mud and hydrogen sulfide sources, Bulganak mud apologe field (Valley of volcanoes) and much more. Have you known that there are more than 50 mud volcanoes on the Kerch Peninsula?

Of course, in Kerch there is no shortage of beaches, a variety of holiday homes, hotels, cafes and restaurants - in general, the tourist infrastructure is developed here and can be quite well rest. The beaches are mostly sandy and sandy-shell.

Feodosia - this man

The next stop in our big journey through the Crimea is Feodosia, or cafe. That is the so called the city in the Middle Ages, which came his flourishing. In general, the city was founded in the 6th century to our era of the Greeks, but the ancient buildings were practically preserved. But the monuments of the Middle Ages are preserved: the remnants of the Genoese Fortress and Tower (St. Constantine, Dock, Round, Foma), Medieval Armenian and Greek Temples (John John the Forerunner, St. Sergius, St. George, Archangelov Mikhail and Gabriel). Also there is orthodox churches, Mosque mufti-jami, monuments, museums (Museum of money, Museum of Antiquities, Museum of Deltaplanenism, Museum of A. Green, etc.) and fountains (Armenian, Ayvazovsky, "Good Genius"). Many buildings of the late 19th - early 20th century (mansions, cottages, villas, such as "Milos", "Flora", "Aida", etc.). And, of course, it is worth visiting the National Picture Gallery named after Aivazovsky, where not only his work is stored, but also the paintings of other marinist artists.

The Feodosia ends (and for many coming - it begins) the main ridge of the Crimean Mountains, which means that the landscape outside the window from this moment will gradually change - from the steppe and fine-column relief to high mountains. In addition, near Feodosia, near Koktebel, there is a famous Karagagsky nature reserve.

Koktebel - Bohemian

The next point of our tourist route in Crimea is further on the highway - this is Koktebel.

Since the end of the 19th century, the village has been a popular holiday destination, famous arts and culture figures came here - so the fame of Koktebel as a bohemian place appeared. Also, the village is known as the center of planyrism due to the upward flows on the plateau Uzun-Syr (Mount Clementieva).

Koktebel is an amazing combination of Kimmerian steppes and mountains. The village is located at the foot of the volcanic massif Kara-Dag, where the famous Karadyagsky Reserve is located - grow there rare plants and dwell disappearing animals. Entrance to the reserve exclusively with the guide.

What else to see in Koktebel and its surroundings? Rock Golden Gate, which fulfills wishes, Cape Chameleon, who changes its color at sunrise and sunset, and a quiet bay. It is also interesting to visit the Vintage Wine plant, the Museum of Nature of Karadaga and the Voloshin House Museum, where his friends were located: Tsvetaeva, Bulgakov, Gorky, A. Tolstoy and other writers and poets. In addition, Koktebel is famous for the fact that the foxes of the bay, or the "fox", challenged with Naturists and Hippie.

Sunny Valley - 300 days of the Sun

The road from Koktebel is very picturesque - the route passes by the solar valley. Fancy rocks with vineyards on the slopes and steep serpentine circles her head (in the literal sense of the word).

Sunny Valley is silence and calm, lack of tourists, desert bays, sunny weather, clear sky And, of course, the mountains. The valley from three sides is closed by the mountains, it smoothly descends to the sea. Here, 3 km from the sea, the village of the same name is 3 km away - one of the centers of winemaking in the Crimea, so it will not be superfluous to try unique wines of the solar valleys, which are made of grape varieties growing only in it.

The valley has to secluded rest and skid down the mountains. We recommend visiting the echo dag, there you will find an unusual karst cave, which is called the Earth Earth - it goes deep into 132 meters.

Sudak and new light

The next point in the route in Crimea - Sudak and the new light. They need to give enough time - the terrain is rich in natural attractions. In the new light, this is a trail of Golitsyn and the Royal Beach, Karaul-Boh, Peak Cosmos and the Tavrov Staircase, in Sudak - the Genoese Fortress, Mausi Megan, Alchak and Frenchwoman, as well as the mountain ah-georgy and others. We recommend to stay in Sudak (housing and food is cheaper than in the new light), and in the next village ride on.

Not far from Sudak, the Kimmerian steppe was spread - the Red Valley of Kapsel, mercilessly scorched by the sun. Riding her, admiring her harsh beauty, is a pleasure. You can travel in coves and swim - in some of them there are campgrounds.

Alushta - Valley of Ghosts

In Alushta, in our opinion, it is worth looking for the sake of the valleys of the ghosts and the Massif Demergei - the fancy rocks of the valleys in the morning fog seem to be ghostly. Meet the dawn on Demerji is definitely worthwhile - the spectacle is awesome. Do not forget about Mount Castel and Chatyr-Daga Caves, as well as Jur-Jur's waterfall near the village of General.

Alushta is also interested in the fortress Alouston, the medieval fortification of Funa and the Palace of Princess Gagarina, a variety of vintage estates, and in general, tourists come here primarily behind the beach rest and treatment - in Alushta and surroundings there are many pensions and sanatoriums.

Enjoy the exciting video from the Valley of Ghosts in the mountains of Demerji:

Yalta and its surroundings

The next item travel route in Crimea is undoubtedly Yalta. Only here attention should be given not to the city itself, great and noisy, and its surroundings. For example, on the way from Alushta in Yalta on the highway (if you make a route in Crimea) you will see a pointer to the Nikitsky Botanical Garden - we recommend to visit it if you are not indifferent to the Flora! In addition, Nikita Rassewin is interested in Nikita. Next - Massandra: Visit the Massandra Palace and Park, Winzavod, where you can taste wines, and Vorontsovsky grotto.

In the vicinity of Yalta, you can find a lot of interesting things: descend from Ai-Petri around the picturesque Taraktash or Stangeev trail, visit the temple cave of the Iographer and the Waterfall of Study-Su. Well, of course, you need to rise to the famous Ai-Petri on the rope - next to Yalta (in Mishore) just located the bottom station of the cable car for lifting to the mountain.

Architecture lovers will be interested in the Livadian Palaces, Emir Bukhara and Count Mordvinov, the Armenian Church and the Roman Catholic Temple. Children also have something to do: in Yalta, the theater of marine animals, zoo and aquarium, crocodilearyarium and "glade fairy tales" are valid.

Gaspra is not only a "swallow nest"

Usually, making a trip to the Crimea, tourists come to Gaspra only then to see the "swallow-nest" crime already become an unofficial symbol. However, in this small village, there are many attractions: connoisseurs of antiquities can be recommended by Tavra Necropolis, the Roman Fortress Characters and Ruins of Strengthening Gaspra-Isar, Fans of Trekking and Active Recreation - a walk on the "Solar Tropez", where Nicholas II rested, lift to the Ai-Penginsky Meridian and Descent on skiff-trolls. Another sight is Gaspra - Palace of Prince Golitsyn and Panina Countess (now the Sanatorium "Clear Polyana"), where the museum room of Leo Tolstoy is located.

Not far from Gaspra is Koreiz - there is worth a visit to the Yusupov Palace, where the Yalta Conference was held, Mishorsky Park and Mayak of Cape Ai-Todor.

Alup

First of all, Alupka is known for the chic Vorontsov Palace, the former residence of Count Vorontsov. Now in the Palace there is a museum, and it spread out at 40 hectares no less beautiful than the palace, Alupkinsky Park is very natural and harmonious. It is pleasant to walk, breathing the fragrances of cypress, juniper and about 200 species of plants. Always shady and cool, the park attracts more than more tourists than the palace. Also worth the attention of the temple of Arkhangel Mikhail and the Temple of Alexander Nevsky, the Kindji Museum-Apartment.

As for natural attractions, it is worth visiting the Scala Shaan-Kaya and the lake, located on her - views of the mountain range are simply excellent.

Also, housing in the Crimea can be in place - you should get away from the bus at the station, how dozens of proposals for renting the best housing, certainly cheap and necessarily overlooking you. Classic of the Crimean Vacation.

Sevastopol - White City

To see all the sights of Sevastopol and its surroundings, you need to spend very much time. An introductory tourist route is worth starting from the city itself: Malakhov Kurgan, ancient and mysterious Chersonese (we recommend visiting either early in the morning or closer to sunset), St. Vladimir's Cathedral And the Tower of the winds, the panorama of "Defense of Sevastopol", the historic Boulevard, the County Pier, etc. - the sights of the hero city should devote a separate article.

Must See in the surrounding area:

• cape Fiolent and Yashmovy Beach with a rone of holy phenomenon and the grotto Diana - you will have to master 800 steps down and back;
• the beaches of Sevastopol - there are many of them, but some of them can be clearly ranked to natural sights, for example, the beach. Lyubimovka is very beautiful, if you go for the journey of the stones (in that part of the beach, which nudists and "taalatics" chose);
• Balaclava: Submarine Museum, Balaklava Bay, Genoese Fortress Chamblock, North and South Fort;
• Baidar Valley and Fatma Coba Grotto;
• Death Valley;
• Inkerman: Cave Monastery, Maiden Tower, Chernorechensky Canyon;
• Chorgin Aqueduct and Chorgin Tower and much more.

It is only a small part of the attractions in the vicinity of Sevastopol - Write in the comments, if there were somewhere else!

Bakhchisarai - East Garden Palace

We will continue our big journey through the Crimea - the road leads us to the ancient Bakhchisarai, the real center of "hiking" and the active Crimea. The city is located in the foothills, so the terrain is very interesting. In our opinion, the main attraction of Bakhchisaraya is not a Khansky Palace (although it is good), and the cave cities, fortresses and monasteries: Chufut-Kale, Magup Kale, Kachi Calon, Eski-Kermen, Tepe-Kermen, Chender Coba, Bakl, Xuren, Shuldan.

Bakhchisaray is a city with an eastern flavor, which makes it special. It is necessary to visit the Karaite cemetery and the Cemetery of the Dervysh, the old city and the temple of St. Luke in the village of Laki - very atmospheric places.

As in Sevastopol, in Bakhchisara, a huge number of natural attractions that do not see a couple of days - you need to live at least a week. By the way, in the city very delicious cuisine - Here they live predominantly the Crimean Tatars.

We are going on - our way follows Simferopol, the capital of the Crimea. Since in the city of the look especially nothing to do, we go beyond the city. What to see? Caves (marble, serpentine, red), cliffs and rocks (over a municipal beam, tract Tash-Jargan), ancient settlement Naples Scythian, Cessler's estate. In the city you can visit a variety of museums.

Belogorsk - White Mountain and Lions

We will make a small hook in our journey in Crimea - come in a small Belogorsk. What is it noteworthy? As can be seen from the name, there are a picturesque white mountain nearby - the rock of Ak-Kai, where the Soviet film "Horseman without a head" was filmed. In addition, the terrain is interesting to Kok Asan's gorge with the Chermin Cascade of Waterfalls, which form "baths" with emerald water. The tourist route passing through the Canyon Coc-Asan is extremely picturesque - we advise you very much!

Surely you will be interested to visit and Safari Park "Tagan" - there can be observed for lions living in wild conditions.

Evpatoria

Now you need to turn back, as the next city in our route in Crimea - Evpatoria. There are a lot of religious shrines - mosques, temples, teach: mosque of Duma Jami, teaching of the church, the temple of the Holy Elijah, Karai Kenasi, and so on. In addition, there are many museums and monuments in the city. What else to see? Turkish baths, carysses (ancient water supply) and the old city as a whole.

In the vicinity of Evpatoria there are several salted lakes, where you can fix health with the help of medicinal mud and mineralized water: Moinka Lakes, Donuzlav, Jarylgach and Yarylgach.

Tarkhankut

Well, the final touch of our big travel in Crimea - Cape Tarkhankut, the most western point of the peninsula. It is better to stay in a small village of Olenevka on the coast - from there It is convenient to get to the nearest attractions on the bike, car or bicycle.

Tarkhankut is famous for the picturesque Dzhangul landslide coast on the northeast and Athlesh (Big and Small Athlesh, a bowl of love, a lighthouse in the village of Lighthouse) in the south-east. The beach "Miami" in the latenevka is sandy, and the sea is crystal clear, coral reefs are visible from cliffs, so here "hang out" divers and windsurfists. At Tarkhankut, such popular Soviet films were filmed as "Pirates of the XX century" and "Affibius".

It was told how we made up the route to the Crimea, which they paid attention to and how it was adjusted. For a better understanding shot a video. In the second part, let's start fascinating. We will make a route through the Crimea, as well as search for interesting places and attractions that we note on the map and postgrade to the smartphone.

Route in Crimea by car.

Let's proceed. First we will make a route over the cities of Crimea. The initial city is Kerch. To it, we will take the entire nearby district until the village of Primorsky. For visualization, we advise you to create a travel plan in Google maps. To do this, create a map:
1. Go to the service "My Maps" on this link ;

3. The world map has opened, we find and bring the region of interest, we have this Crimea;
4. In the left menu, click on the layer without a name and rename it to "Kerch";
5. In the same menu below, we change the type of display of the basic card to the "satellite" - the advantage of it is that the country roads can be seen and suitable for travel on the car:

6. Now it is necessary to determine the route in the Crimea. First, it is pre-made, after the marks, the attractions are already given in the final form:

7. Make a route sketch in several ways, we have shown on the example of adding routes. The purpose of the outline - will be determined with the list of cities, the city will be points of the route and layer headers, we have the following list:

It turned out the route through the Crimea, covering all the basic resort cities, we show on the example of the whole Crimea, you by analogy of your plan of that region in which you will go.

Route in Crimea. Search for attractions.

Next, proceed to the search for attractions and their mark on the map. We will show on the example of the first point - the city of Kerch. We start with a banal - drive in a search engine "Sights of Kerch" and see the result. Immediately in the first line shows the sights in pictures, we write them down:
1. Mitridat - Mountain;
2. Kerch fortress;
3. Yenikalsky lighthouse;
4. Church of St. John the Forerunner;
5. Yenikale - Turkish Fortress;
6. Panticapey - the ancient settlement on Mount Mitridat;
7. Kerch Museum;
8. Tyritaka - ancient settlement;
9. Lapidarium.
We get acquainted with the description of the sights and decide for yourself which one would like to visit. For example, we do not like exhibitions and museums. But the ancient settlements and fortresses, as well as natural beauty to us like. Having exhaustedly embark on the location of the attractions. We drive into the search engine "Mount Mitridat - Kerch Coordinates", we look at the results - as practice shows a lot of desired attractions with coordinates, there is a Wikimapia website, continuing to make a route through the Crimea. You can search for coordinates directly on this site.
1. Copy the coordinates of 45 ° 21'2 "N 36 ° 28'10" E, drive into the search string on the map you created - we show the point we add to the Kerch layer:

2. Edit the point - choose a color, write a name, description, you can add a photo to understand what it is. You can add an icon from existing or download your own:

3. It turned out that the city of Panticapey is here, 2 points from the list in one place, which looks like here after editing this item:

4. In the same way, we enroll the sights with the following sights that came out after adding:

5. Next, we study sites, maps, traveler blogs, looking for at the request of "Attractions in the vicinity of Kerch". The longer you will look for, the more you will find little-known, but standing places that will be interested to visit. For example, the ancient cities were looking for this map:

After such a search, the following sights of Kerch and the surrounding area were added:
1. Melek-Chesme Kurgan;
2. Fort Totleben;
3. Sorry Nymphi;
4. Ilurat settlement;
5. Mud volcanoes Bulganak;
6. Opunk Natural Reserve;
7. Cyrp demeters;
8. Adzhimushki quarry;
9. Gorodishche of Parfunctions;
10. Porpmy fortification;
11. Lake Chokrak;
12. Tsarsky Kurgan;
13. Kazantipa Natural Reserve;
14. Lake Tabechik;
15. Cape Chaud;
16. Unfolded nuclear power plant;
17. Arabat fortress;
18. Ancient settlement of an acre;
19. Elken-Kaya - rocks in the sea;
20. Mud Vulcan Jau Teppe.
It turns out 29 attractions. Believe me, this is not all. Kerch is famous for underground strokes and maybe even cities. Many mud volcanoes did not fall into this list. Crimea is truly rich in sights. Even the first point of travel is enough to explore for 2 weeks to explore and enjoy a variety of noble places, the final route in the Crimea is a shot of icons as christmas tree. There is a risk, especially with ancient cities that they will not find them if their location was determined on the map from the Internet.

Look in the video under the article. A clear example of a plan and bonus - places suitable for overnight in a tent and with a convenient entrance by car.
According to the example with the Kerch we do with the rest of the cities, we hope the algorithm for the search and mapping of the route is clear.

Route in Crimea. The route between attractions.

If you drive with a tent or on the car it is also worth finding and noting the estimated places for the night. With a car problematic, far from everywhere there is an entrance to the sea. If you stay in hostels, hotels, hotels, also tick them on the map to plan from them the route by sights.
You can plan the route immediately, but we do not advise this to do. It is unknown, where you will get up. For myself, we chose the most correct option for us: to draw up a plan in the evening, before the day of the route, or directly in the morning. All this is done in the smartphone.

Route in Crimea. How to download labels from the card and throw on the phone

Now we need to download labels, for this we do as in the pictures:

File find

We find this file in the folder with downloads and transfer it to the smartphone. You can transfer to the phone in the following ways:
1. via USB cable;
2. Email;
3. Bluetooth, in general in any way as an ordinary file or music.
Then you need to find this file on the phone and open using the navigation application. We have Maps.me. We recommend everyone, free, does not require an Internet connection, there is information about the springs, attractions, shops, etc. The main thing is in advance download the places where you go.
