Unusual places in Crimea
Where to go by car to rest in Crimea?
When going on a road trip, it is important to check the technical condition of your vehicle, take care of the contents of the first-aid kit, draw up a route plan and find the optimal departure time. It is advisable for "larks" to hit the road in the morning, and "owls" - at night. Do not plan to travel on holidays and Friday-Sunday - the track will be overloaded, especially in July-August.
The Moscow - Crimea route (most of it) runs along the M4 Don highway (there are toll sections on the Moscow - Voronezh route). After Rostov-on-Don, autotourists need to get to the Kerch (Crimean) bridge.
It is worth noting that the most attractive areas for autotourists are the coast of Koktebel, Feodosia and Sudak. They will find there clean beaches, campgrounds and parking lots (in some parking lots, mini-hotels are built, so the service will cost a little more).
Autotravel across Crimea
You can start a road trip from Kerch, where the Mithridat staircase is located (consists of more than 430 steps; the stairs are decorated with statues of mythical animals), Mount Mithridat (from a height of more than 90 m, panoramic views of Kerch open in front of each; at the top there is a 24-meter Obelisk of Glory and a ZIS cannon -3), the Yenikale fortress (the surviving fragments of the fortress walls, gates and semi-bastion are subject to inspection).
The next stop can be made in Feodosia - there it is recommended to inspect the tower of St. Constantine (it is an architectural monument, from which a rectangular base and 3 walls are left) and visit the Aivazovsky art gallery (guests will see more than 400 works by Aivazovsky, as well as his personal belongings).
Do not disregard the beaches of Feodosia:
- Golden Beach: The 6 km long beach has golden yellow sand. It is worth going here (it will take 10 minutes by car from the city center) with children, as the beach is equipped with inflatable slides, showers, sun loungers, beach umbrellas and cafes. For active vacationers, there is a rental point for water equipment. Nearby, you can come across picturesque boulders - you can take wonderful photos at sunset.
- Pearl Beach: golden nacreous sand acts as a cover. In addition to rows with umbrellas, there are also places for “wild” rest on the Pearl Beach. Only the changing cabins can be used free of charge on the beach. At the service of those who wish, there is a water sports station (they will offer to go skiing, tablet, catamaran).
- Pebble beach: it is covered with pebbles, but the seabed is gently sloping and sandy. The beach is famous for its entertainment complex - the evening program should include dinner in a restaurant or dancing to the rhythms of famous DJs.
Koktebel is the next point of the route: the main attractions of the city and its surroundings are Cape Chameleon (the cape turns bright orange in the morning and pale purple in the evening, and all this is due to the special rocks of which it is composed - they reflect light in different ways), The Golden Gate (it is an arched rock, about 15 m high; they say, if you make a wish and sail on a boat through the Golden Gate arch, it will come true), the Karadag Nature Museum (guests are shown rocks characteristic of Karadag, as well as stuffed local birds, reptiles and mammals). The road from Koktebel is quite picturesque and passes by the Sun Valley, which is surrounded by mountains on 3 sides. It will not be superfluous to taste several varieties of Sunny Valley wine.
Next, it is worth exploring the surroundings of Sudak: you can climb Mount Ai-Georgy and find a spring there, the water of which is considered curative (from the top of the mountain, almost 500 m high, the entire Sudak valley is visible), as well as inspect the cave monastery near Sudak (looks like like cave cells with the remains of windows, benches and steps).
From Sudak, you can go to Alushta and its environs, where the Aluston fortress will be waiting for you (from a sight more than 15 centuries old, a fragment of the adjoining wall and 1 tower remained) and the Dzhur-Dzhur waterfall (its stream falls down from a 15-meter height), and then to Yalta, famous for the palace of the Emir of Bukhara (a building in the Moorish style), the Chekhov house-museum (17,000 items are subject to inspection - manuscripts, letters, books, both of Chekhov and other classics) and other sights.
