Video walk along the Yalta embankment:

Yes, the capital of the South Coast bears the title of the most expensive resort peninsulas. But this is not a reason to deny yourself the pleasure of visiting her. Relax in the Crimea in the city of Yalta - everyone can afford it, you just need to want to!

Yalta is the capital Crimean resorts. My attitude to this resort is ambiguous. On the one hand, the beaches in Yalta are pebbly, which is why the water is clean and clear, deep-sea. This is good for adults, but it’s better not to go here with kids - such beaches are not safe for children. For the whole of Yalta there is only one beach with free admission. All other beaches are paid, and despite the fact that you have already paid for the entrance, you will have to pay separately for umbrellas, sunbeds and other amenities. Although it is worth saying that the beaches are well equipped, there is everything you need, even the services of masseurs. :)

Also on the beach you can take any water transport for hire - any whim for your money. In general, rest in Yalta is expensive. But this could be put up with, but too many vacationers come there. On the beach you can not find a free place, on the embankment there is crush and eternal queues.

I came to Yalta to spend my vacation there, but after a couple of days I fled from there to a less crowded town.

Although, we are all different, and maybe you will like Yalta. There you can see people and show yourself ... It will not be boring for sure. Also in favor of Yalta is its location - the resort is surrounded on all sides by mountains that block the path of strong winds. During the day, a pleasant breeze blows from the sea, and in the evening a small breeze from the mountains, bringing with it very fresh clean air. Therefore, in Yalta, the air is always saturated with the sea, mountain air, which is very pleasant and useful.

In Yalta, there is one more feature - a couple of times during the summer the upper heated layer of water is blown away by the wind, and cold water comes in its place. And then only walruses can swim in the sea for 2-3 days. :)

But the city itself is old and very beautiful. The Russian population there is much larger than the Ukrainians. Residents call Yalta an open-air museum. And that's the way it is. The city itself is an attraction - there are a huge number of beautiful old buildings, and you can just wander through the streets of Yalta and admire the architecture. Long walks can be made along the narrow, confusing streets of the city, but it is worth considering that the city is very hilly, and only young people can do it.

Even in Yalta, the Zoo, the Theater of Marine Animals, the Yalta Aquarium, the Crocodile Aquarium, and the Butterfly Museum deserve attention.

In general, the city is very interesting, it is sad that the streets and beaches are poorly cleaned after so many tourists...

Still, in Yalta it is good to have a rest for young people without children. In addition to other entertainment, there are restaurants, bars, and noisy discos in huge numbers. This place is for active youth, up to 35 years old.

It is simply impossible to come to Crimea and not visit its decoration - Yalta. As soon as travelers do not call this wonderful corner of the peninsula: the city of happiness, the pearl of the peninsula, southern capital and even tourist mecca. What is the phenomenon of this small resort town and why is it that crowds of tourists come here from year to year?
