Chernomorskoe in Crimea: weather and rest

On the Black Sea coast of Russia there are many resort places, designed for both active and relaxing holiday. One of those is the village of Chernomorskoe, located on the Crimean peninsula.

On the west coast of Crimea, the Tarkhankutsky peninsula is located in the sea, where the village is located. Black Sea. While this is not the most popular place among tourists, as not everyone is still acquainted with its unique nature and beaches. The sea in the village is not very deep and with a gentle relief. It warms up well in spring, and tourists open the swimming season in April. The beach here is sandy-shell, it is pleasant to wander around barefoot or lie on the beach mat, and there are more sunny days than in Sochi or Yalta. The infrastructure of this small village with a population of about 12,000 people is adapted to the influx of tourists. Studying the map of the roads of the Crimean peninsula, it is easy to calculate that the distance from the Simferopol airport, which connects Crimea with mainland Russia, to the Black Sea coast is 140 kilometers.

In the 4th century BC, the Ionian Greeks arrived on the coast of Tavrida in search of uninhabited territory. The beauty of the Tarkhankut peninsula, its bays and fresh coastal lakes attracted their attention. They founded their settlement in the bay, which they called Beautiful Harbor. To protect it, they built a fortress wall, enclosing four hectares of land, and adorned it with many towers.

Planning to live here happily ever after, the Greeks blocked the streets with small plates, built houses, granaries, wineries, and crushers pressed in the rocks. A lighthouse was built on the shore. In the event of a siege in the basement staged a warehouse with reserves of provisions. On top was a real command post.

In the 3rd century BC, regular Scythian raids forced the Greeks to reinforce existing structures and build a new line of defense near the bay itself. In II BC, the city finally passes under the authority of the Scythians. Then, replacing each other, the Roksolans and Huns ruled here. By the 1st century AD, the Sarmatians who had invaded from the northern steppes destroyed this city. The greatness of the bay faded, and centuries later its surroundings were mastered by the Tatars.

After the entry of the Crimean Peninsula into the Russian Empire, these lands became the property of Count Voinovich. After 1823, Count Vorontsov began to buy land for the development of vineyards and tobacco plantations. He built a marina, medical institutions, as well as the church of St.. Zahara and Elizabeth. Then, in the 40s of the last century, deportation of the Crimean Tatars began. At the same time the village was renamed the Black Sea.

Chernomorskoe has a unique climate. Located on Tarkhankut, jutting deep into the sea, the village is surrounded by sea breezes, which act as a natural air conditioner. They change direction twice a day, so the heat is more easily tolerated in summer. The small transport, small population and lack of industrial enterprises makes the air here clean and spicy. This wellness air cocktail contains bromine, iodine and other trace elements.

The sun shines here 241 days a year, and the rains in the summer are rare and short. The air in June warms up to + 22 ° С, and by the end of summer it reaches + 28 ° С. This is facilitated by the peculiarities of the coastline and the seabed topography. The beach season begins in May and lasts until October. The climate is influenced by the sea - absorbing the sun in summer, it is generously divided by it in autumn and winter.

The weather in winter is quite unpredictable. Suddenly, frost can hit up to -20 ° C, and if the wind blows from the sea, which often happens, people have a hard time.

Summer is also not without surprises. The heat can reach + 40 ° C, but if the north or north-west wind blows, it carries warmed-up layers of water far into the sea and nails cold to the shore.

It is believed that today it is more comfortable to get to the Crimea by plane, especially from the major cities of Russia. From Moscow or St. Petersburg 3 hours of summer to the airport Simferopol, and from Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar and other nearby cities - about an hour.

From cities located further than Central Russia and the North Caucasus, direct flights are quite expensive. It is more rational to calculate the budget based on the flight to Krasnodar and Anapa, and then by bus to get to the resorts of the Crimea.

You can get to the cities of southern Russia by train, and from there to the Crimean resorts by bus. In this case, a single ticket is purchased, including train tickets to southern cities and a bus ticket to Crimean health resorts.

The plus of this journey is to dock all flights on time. But there is also a minus - a crush in the queue at the bus and the possible loss of luggage. Car owners can get to the peninsula by a new Crimean bridge, and then ride along the coast, stopping for sightseeing and swimming.

The distance in a straight line from Simferopol to Chernomorsky is 78 kilometers, and on the road - 144. By bus, this distance can be covered in 2 hours and 50 minutes, and by car in 2 hours and 30 minutes. From the airport of the city you need to get to the station. You can use the trolley bus, taxi or taxi. Opposite the station is a bus station in Simferopol.
