At the same time, Feodosia is where many health resorts operate and procedures are carried out with local mineral water.

Between Big Feodosia and Big Alushta there is a city, famous for its medieval Genoese fortress, and a village adjoining it. These places attract connoisseurs of landscapes: for the beautiful landscapes, the surroundings of the village New World repeatedly became scenery for different films. Another attractive factor of the village is the famous champagne factory, where sparkling "New World" is produced. However, pebble beaches and not always a simple descent to the sea make this place preferable for active people without small children.

Sea of ​​Azov

The Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is less equipped than the Black Sea, but tourists appreciate it for the purity and naturalness of nature and for its very good climate especially for young children.

The last village is considered the most environmentally friendly place and is famous for one of the most clean beaches throughout the Black Sea.

Choosing where to stay

In Olginka there is a great option in the school district - a small but cozy mini-hotel for 1800 rubles per person per day. You have to walk twenty minutes to the sea coast, but on the way you can observe the amazing beauty of the place, and the area shaded by the forest will not let you fall from the sweltering heat. If you don’t want to go anywhere, you can use the swimming pool on the territory of the complex. The hosts organize educational excursions around the village and the Krasnodar Territory as a whole. You can eat in the summer kitchen, but if you are too lazy to cook, there is a cafe with a rather extensive menu a two-minute walk from the hotel.

Where is the best infrastructure?

The second most popular Russian resort on the Black Sea is. There are many modern hotels and guest houses, a large selection of housing in the private sector. However, the prices are too high and there are many tourists. During the season, there is not enough space on the public beach - tourists swim even under prohibition signs. It is more comfortable to rest in the suburbs of Gelendzhik - Kabardinka and Arkhipo-Osipovka. Go there if you want to breathe more freely, although there is overcrowding in the summer.

If you come to rest on the Black Sea at the height of the summer season, this is waiting for you. I took the photo on the beach in Divnomorsky, Krasnodar Territory.

Another city where you can have a great rest with children in the Krasnodar Territory at sea is. The recognized children's resort stubbornly enters the top five. Most tourists choose villages and Dzhemete. The latter is a new rapidly developing resort with an excellent hotel base.

The best for children are Black Sea resorts Anapa,Evpatoria and Feodosia. All of them are not too expensive and, in terms of infrastructure, are ideal for family vacation. Everywhere there are dolphinariums, water parks, children's cafes and amusement parks.

Advice: take into account the distance of the trip, prices and natural conditions. For example, Anapa is well suited for families with children, but in the middle of summer the sea begins to bloom, and the water becomes cloudy due to algae. When compared by prices, the cheapest is the rest in Feodosia, Sudak and the villages of the Western Crimea, but it will take longer to go.

However, if you want to get a standard set of pleasures - the Black Sea, the beach and a beautiful tan - you still have to go here in the summer. So let's start considering places that are worth visiting.

Yalta

This is probably the most famous city Crimean peninsula. Yalta is a favorite place of the intelligentsia. Here and today it is customary to stroll slowly along the embankment, as it has been for many decades in a row.

beautiful monuments of architecture, rich story and the feeling of being part of something ancient and great could not be replaced by loud discos or restaurants with gourmet dishes. Here you want to relax not only with your body, but also with your soul.

While relaxing in Yalta, take the time to visit the royal residence in Livadia. This building rightfully competes with Vorontsov Palace in Alupka. The Livadia residence is strikingly beautiful and elegant. The motifs of classicism, modernity and the Renaissance used in it are organically intertwined and complement each other. Fine stucco, shady galleries, bay windows and towers create a striking architectural ensemble.

Cape Tarkhankut

Well, for those who want to take a break from civilization and just go to the Black Sea, Tarkhankuta beach will reliably hide from the noisy crowd. The fact is that it is not very convenient to get here. It is best to drive your own car, but you will have to leave it on the road, because the descent to the beach is quite steep even for walking.

But water, transparent as a tear, amazing outlines of coastal cliffs and a sense of real solitude will more than pay for any minor inconveniences.

Divers especially appreciate these places. And not only because of the clean water, but also because the entire underwater coastal zone of the cape is indented with picturesque grottoes, caves, small bays and intricate bays.

Royal beach

Another wild piece of the coast is located near Cape Kapchik, on the outskirts of the New World. In fact, it is officially closed, since on this moment there is a threat of landslides, and therefore the area is unsafe for tourism.

But if possible, it is worth going there, if only to admire the magnificent view of unusually blue water in the majestic frame of towering cliffs.

golden beach

If you come with children, then the Golden Beach in Feodosia will be an excellent choice. It owes its name to yellow sand. The descent into the water is gentle here, so the kids can safely splash in the coastal waves. And the possibilities of sculpting various figures from sand are practically limitless.

Chufut-Kale

In addition to the standard sets of beaches and water parks, the Crimean peninsula can please with interesting buildings that have been preserved since ancient times. And a special place in this collection is occupied, of course, by cave cities carved directly into the rocks.

Built into sheer cliffs, these fortifications were truly full-fledged functioning cities. Heavy massive gates and deep ditches guarded the approaches to them. In cities, there was a rather interesting system for collecting and storing rainwater and food supplies. The complexes of residential buildings and outbuildings have been intelligently designed to make the most efficient use of the available space.

These ancient cities are perfectly preserved up to the present day. With research, for example, Chufut-Kale is connected interesting story. According to legend, there was a secret source of water in the city in case of a siege. Only a few initiates knew how to get to this source, who passed the information directly to their successor.

It is clear that by the time the archaeologists began to work, none of these chosen ones were left alive. The city was studied, described and "commissioned" as a tourist site. But ancient legends did not give rest to one stubborn scientist. Combining the data of geological explorations and assumptions known to him alone, with fragments of information about the legendary source, he again began to search.

And his efforts were crowned with success. Thanks to these explorations, not only an ingeniously designed and beautifully camouflaged inner well, fed from underground sources, was found, but also a real treasure of ancient coins, which is of great value to archaeologists.

And although, having come to rest on the Crimean peninsula today, you are unlikely to be able to make a significant discovery for science, but for yourself personally, you may well become a daring and successful pioneer.
