The southern coast is a real pearl of the Crimean peninsula. It is often called simply and briefly - the South Coast. This heavenly place, along with the French Cote d'Azur, is recognized as the second world resort in the effectiveness of treatment of various diseases.
Wonderful beaches, waterfalls, embankments, palaces, old parks, estates are covered with legends, every corner here has its own history, so rest on the southern coast is not only useful and comfortable, but also very informative.
Climatic features
The name itself speaks of the geographical position of the southern coast. The not very wide coastal strip of the Black Sea - its width is from two to eight kilometers, stretching 170 kilometers from west to east from Cape Aya to the legendary Karadag, is protected from the northern winds by the main ridge of the Crimean Mountains.
From the southernmost point - Cape Sarych, only 142 nautical miles to Turkey.In Soviet times, it was a protected area, which made it possible to preserve rare species of plants and animals here. And now this coastline covered with huge boulders remains wild, there are practically no beaches here, the underwater world is very rich and diverse, which attracts tourists-divers here.
The unique location on the southern coast creates a special climate, which generally belongs to the subtropical Mediterranean, but is also subdivided into dry, semi-dry and semi-humid types. This division depends on the altitude and winds. In the narrow sense, the South Coast of the Crimea includes a section of 80 kilometers from Cape Aya to Alushta. Here the climate is more humid and gentle.
In the section from Alushta to Feodosia, the climate becomes hotter and drier. Strictly speaking, this is already the southeastern coast, where the mountains recede from the sea by 10-12 kilometers. Temperature and humidity are regulated by the Black Sea, which brings coolness in summer and warm in winter.
In winter, the temperature does not drop to negative values, which is facilitated by the warm Crimean current and the mountains, which do not allow cold air here.
Winter on the South Coast is mild, but cloudy and rainy. In January, the average temperature very rarely drops below +4, and the daytime - below +7. During the day, it can even rise to + 18-20. This is the time of storms and strong east winds. In spring the weather is windy and unstable, the average temperature rises to +14 degrees.
The holiday season begins in early May and lasts until the end of October. This is longer than on the French Cote d'Azur and the Italian coast, which are close in climate. Extreme heat (+ 28-35 degrees) is softened by sea breezes. You can swim from June to October, the water temperature in July-August reaches 26 degrees, remains the same in September, slightly decreases by October, but remains comfortable until the 20th of the month.
Plants and Animals
The flora of the southern coast is very peculiar. Many species that exist here are endemic, that is, they live only in this natural zone, and even no less species have been imported from other countries. The Mediterranean climate, landscape features, economic and cultural activities of man - the combination of all these factors has led to the uniqueness and uniqueness of the South Coast flora.
Parks, gardens, vineyards merge here with evergreen wild thickets. In the famous parks of Livadia, Gurzuf, Massandra, Alupka, Nikitsky Botanical Garden, imported exotics have been growing for more than 200 years, and relics and endemics are carefully protected in the reserves located here. Precious beeches and oaks, living from 250 to 1000 years, can now be found throughout the coast. This is largely the merit of biologists, since whole groves were mercilessly cut down earlier.
Small-fruited strawberry is listed in the Red Book. This evergreen tree with edible strawberry-like fruits can grow to a height of 6 meters and has a bizarre twisting trunk and branches. In Crimea, it is found only on the southern coast and belongs to the endemic species. The evergreen coniferous cypress is prized for its unique medicinal properties. The bactericidal properties of its essential oils help to suppress many disease-causing bacteria. Even in ancient times, figs were brought to the South Coast of Crimea, the fruits of which are very useful for the body.
It is simply impossible to list and describe the richest plant collection, it has more than 1.5 thousand species. It remains only to be amazed at the beauty and fertility of this amazing land. But the fauna of the southern coast can hardly be called very rich. These are hares, squirrels, foxes, hedgehogs, martens, badgers, rodents and bats adapted to the Mediterranean climate.
Sometimes in winter Crimean deer, mouflons and roe deer come down from the mountains. There are no large predators here.
In winter, the bird kingdom also increases. In spring, migratory birds fly away and cormorants, gulls, white-bellied swifts, city swallows, hooded crows, wild pigeons, kestrels remain on the coast.
Reptiles are represented here by a multitude of lizards, among which there are the endemic Crimean gecko and the relict legless yellow-toed lizard. The leopard snake is listed in the Red Book. This beautiful snake is almost destroyed and is extremely rare.
