Evpatoria: reviews of holidays in this city

Responses about a geographic point or locality for tourists are often contradictory, because, as they say, "the taste and color of a fellow traveler is not." Reviews about the rest in Evpatoria - is no exception. Enthusiastic odes to sandy beaches alternate with the Philippines that there are no rocks that the Crimea is so famous for; And eulogies of local cheapness contradict the claims that local boarding houses take more than they deserve. We will try to resolve these contradictions and find out what the tourists of this Crimean city in the west of the peninsula, located on the shore of the Kalamitsky Bay, promise to tourists.

First of all, it should be noted that Evpatoria does not lie in a zone called the Southern Coast of the Crimea (SKA). It is located in the steppe Crimea, and this means that there are no mountains, rocks and bright subtropical vegetation. But here there is no pebbles. Yevpatoria presents its guests with gold of wide, endless beaches. Rest, reviews of which converge in positive assessments of the beaches, will also be budget. Unlike the small beaches of Yalta or Alushta, the huge, many kilometers of the beaches of Evpatoria with a small exception are free for tourists. They are very convenient for children: the child will not get hurt on the pebbles, do not dislocate the leg, and from the sand it's so fun to build castles and fortresses.

The beach season comes to Yevpatoria in the same terms as on the South Coast. In May and September, a steppe wind can blow, but near the coast of Evpatoria the sea is shallow and quickly warms up. Another bonus, which, unlike the resorts of the South Coast, is Evpatoria, reviews call healing mud. They treat mainly diseases of the musculoskeletal system and are very effective in treating children. In Ukraine, Evpatoria is called a children's resort, and this is evident not only in the number of children's sanatoriums and camps, but also in the number of toddlers on the streets. Adults use this mud.

In addition to climatic and natural attractions, Evpatoria can boast of a history that lasts about two and a half thousand years. Kerkinitida in Ancient Greece, Geslev in the Crimean Khanate, - what are the only historical monuments not surprised by the traveler Evpatoria!

Reviews first of all are full of stories about teki (monastery) dervishes. The architectural complex consists of a building with cells and the mosque of Shukurla-efendi with the only 27-meter-long minaret of the 17th century in the city. Another monument of Islamic religious architecture is the Juma-Jami Mosque (Friday Mosque) built in the middle of the 16th century by the order of Khan Devlet-Giray I. It is an active temple, but tourists are allowed inside: women are given gowns and scarves at the entrance, men in shorts Also ask to wear a bathrobe. It is impossible not to mention the Karaite kenases. Karaites are one of the smallest nations in the world. Karaites are of Turkic origin, but they profess Judaism. Their religious structure (kenasa) is an active temple. Evpatoria kenasy - Cathedral and Malaya - are famous for their fine carvings in interior decoration. From Christian monuments it is worth mentioning the St. Ilyinsky church, which is more than 100 years old.

Tourists believe that, especially compared to the resorts of the South Coast, it is difficult to find a cheaper city than Evpatoria. Reviews in this matter are almost unanimous. In the city there are many sanatoriums and dispensaries, boarding houses, recreation centers and private hotels. Very wide selection of housing in the private sector, however, in peak season, in August, prices may be inflated due to demand for housing. Vacationers from Ukraine prefer to live in the private sector, buying in the sanatoriums only kursyki (course of treatment procedures).

In recent years, Evpatoria, young people's comments about which are somewhat divergent, has been enriched by numerous nightclubs, discotheques and other entertainment establishments. However, in this it lags behind Yalta, Sevastopol and other Crimean resorts, and in the evenings on the streets of the city quite calmly.
