Warm winters, hot and dry summers, sea winds from the sea and from the mountains have earned it the reputation of a world health center. People with a whole range of diseases are sent here and are cured by the wonderful nature here.

Several thousand people live here, that is, it is a small settlement.

The sun almost never hides behind the clouds, giving light and warmth to tourists for two and a half thousand hours a year. Sometimes even in October you can swim and sunbathe here.
The beauty of the mountain and seascapes of the resort is all the more amazing because this is one of those places on the territory of the Crimean peninsula that has not yet been touched much by civilization, and which still retain an absolutely natural, miraculous charm. The largest beach in the village with medium-sized pebbles is landscaped in those areas that belong to the territory of sanatoriums and boarding houses. There are cabins, awnings, and fresh showers. But the cleanliness leaves much to be desired, largely due to the fact that two mountain rivers flow through the beach at once with water that is not very clean due to the rain.

The city, home to about four hundred thousand people, has a number of advantageously located bays where the water never freezes. That is why it has long become not only a seaport, a trading harbor, but also a naval base. And, of course, we cannot ignore ancient history of Sevastopol and its status as a hero city of the Great Patriotic War. Moreover, historical sights and architectural monuments, preserved in Sevastopol, attract tourists almost more than its beaches, among which there are sandy and pebble ones.
Weather in the Sevastopol area prices are mostly the same as on the South Coast.

A wonderful Mediterranean climate with warm but not too hot sunny days, lush and varied vegetation on the picturesque mountain slopes, a swimming season from June to October, a huge park with shady groves, fountains and sculptures - this is the “calling card”. Along the transparent clean sea There are paid and free pebble beaches with stones of different sizes. Most of the paid ones belong to sanatoriums and boarding houses, while city and municipal ones rent umbrellas, sun loungers, and showers. There are beach cafes here and there. In season, as elsewhere on the South Coast, there is very little free space on public beaches.

This must be remembered and always clarified when choosing a place to go on vacation.
If you want to choose a season when you are guaranteed the most favorable weather conditions in Yalta– it is better to go there during the so-called “velvet season”, because here the period suitable for swimming begins later than in other places, since the water takes longer to warm up.

Simeiz
Charming Simeiz - a popular youth resort in the south of Crimea , which comfortably nestles at the foot of Mount Koshka on the territory of Greater Yalta. The bizarre relief of the Crimean mountains and rocks sticking out of the water give it a very special beauty.

But how much fun you can get during such walks and what amazing photographs you will get! The beach season at this resort, as throughout the South Coast, lasts until September. It is characterized by steadily hot summers with almost no precipitation with temperatures around 23-25 degrees and well-warmed water.
The free pebble beaches of the village are crowded and therefore heavily polluted at the height of the season, but sanatoriums and hotels take very good care of their private beaches, cleaning and improving them. So it's better to pay to get into one of them than to endure the inconvenience. But in the secluded bays of Blue Bay you can not only dive into clear water from the rocks, but also scuba dive or just have a good swim without crowds and noise. There is also a water park with water slides, which is a kind of “highlight” that complements the usual range of Crimean beach fun provided to vacationers at almost every resort.

A huge park with a delightful collection of rare plants and trees descends to the sea in three tiers. Not only tourists, but also the residents themselves willingly relax in its fabulous groves with ponds and lakes.
All city beaches of Foros are available to vacationers for free, and the main one is cut by countless coves with clear blue water and has a completely wild, unkempt appearance. However, this “uncivilization” only makes him even more beautiful.

Water activities, excursions and discos are very actively visited by vacationers, and if this is not enough, you can go to Yalta, where you certainly won’t be bored.
Balaclava

Balaclava is a resort with a very ancient history , it was described by Homer in the poem “Odyssey”. Now this is an area of Sevastopol, which has long been adapted for sailing. Here you can see many private yachts gliding along the always calm surface azure water. The huge Genoese fortress looms over the entrance to the bay, and schools of dolphins often swim to the shore - in a word, the place is absolutely fabulous. It is not surprising that there are so many tourists here, despite the fact that there are no beaches at all in Balaklava. But from here you will be taken by boat to the famous “Golden”, “Silver”, “Blizhny”, “Yashmovoy” and other beaches outside the resort. All along the way you will be able to admire the breathtaking panorama of the coast from the sea.
Until recently in Balaklava it was impossible to find any hotels or sanatoriums, because this city was completely non-tourist. But then several good holiday homes and small hotels with decent service were built, and private housing continues to be in demand. For entertainment, walking and water excursions to Cape Fiolent are organized, and “ To the Lost World", inspection of the Chembalo fortress and visit to the museum Cold War.

Interesting places and attractions on the southern coast of Crimea

In the 19th century, the southern coast of Crimea first attracted the attention of the Russian nobility. picturesque landscapes are complemented by summer residences and palaces, and vacations on the southern borders of the empire are becoming increasingly popular.

Crimea is a wonderful land. It reminds me of French Cote d'Azur, but its landscapes are harsher. All around are high rocky mountains; on the slopes there are pine trees, right up to the shore; The sea is changeable: peaceful and radiant in the sun and terrible in a storm. The climate is mild, there are flowers everywhere, a lot of roses.
The southeast coast amazes with the abundance of palaces and mansions made in completely different styles: they show echoes of French castles of the Renaissance, Italian Renaissance and even traces of the traditions of Ottoman architecture of the 16th-18th centuries. Each building is a separate object of art, created by famous architects in conditions of fierce competition, each park is a small botanical garden with strange plants, fountains and wonderful views of the sea.
Often, the fate of Russian history was decided in these places; details can be found in the museums occupying the premises of the palaces. For example, during the summer months the Livadia Palace became the center of state power, from which the emperor directed all processes in the country. In 1945, the palace hosted meetings that determined the post-war order in Europe. If you're nearby, be sure to take a tour.
