The village Coastal in Crimea: history, attractions, travel, housing
Thinking about the rest, many would prefer the standard, but very relaxing option, able to energize and inspire for the next year. But to spend money on an expensive vacation in Turkey or Egypt somehow does not want to. Then the Crimean coast is perfect, a very interesting place with its history and territorial features.
The variety of recreation in this place is due to the fact that the Crimea AR is a peninsula, so the access to the sea has a lot of cities. In addition to major tourist destinations (Evpatoria, Yalta, Sevastopol, Feodosiya, Alupka, Alushta), there are smaller settlements that are no less interesting and are perfect for family holidays.
We advise you to pay attention to the village "Coast" with very beautiful sunsets and unforgettable nature.
Description
One of the most beautiful parts of the Crimea is the city of Feodosia, and next to it is no less interesting settlement Beregovoe. Why is this village, which is not so easy to find on the map, has such popularity among tourists? In addition to its convenient location near the resort town, it attracts with its cozy and relaxed atmosphere. This is a very quiet and relaxing corner for a relaxed family holiday.
It is interesting that in the Crimea there are as many as 3 villages called “Beregovoe”. One is located in the western part (not far from Nikolaevka), the second in the south of the peninsula (near Foros) and the third village to be discussed is 8 km from Feodosia.
The settlement is located right on the Black Sea coast. There are fewer people in the season than in other cities, because of the location: from Simferopol to the village 125 km, if you go by taxi, it is from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. 170 km from Yalta, and 8 km from Feodosia. Therefore, when planning your vacation, be careful and correctly calculate your route and the time required for the trip.
From the east, the village is washed by the salt lake Ashigol, but since it does not have healing properties, it is not in demand among tourists. If you decide to go to this wonderful place, then all the amenities will be there for you. Due to its coastal location, most services are aimed at the benefit of tourists. For example, along the entire embankment there are cafes, canteens, restaurants (most of which work only during the season), around the village there are many stalls with souvenirs and all sorts of trifles, not very useful.
There is 1 pharmacy in the whole village, there are not so many medicines there, pay attention to this when you are going on vacation. If you are allergic or have chronic diseases, bring better medicines with you.
As for supermarkets, they are not there. There is a network of shops selling Crimean wines and several small shops with products.
An amusement park that operates only in season is available - “Field of Miracles”. You are waited by driving on attractions, various thematic actions and discos, a small green zone and tourist bureau where it is possible to order excursions. For accommodation there are hostels, hotels, guest houses, manors and a huge selection in the private sector (many people in the village live off the money earned in the season, from renting housing).
Climate
The location of the village and nearby Feodosia is very picturesque due to the towering mountains, plains, coniferous forests, which can not but please the eye. And, of course, sandy beaches will appeal to any visitor. The climate in this area is unique: despite its softness, the air is very hot, but due to the sea breeze and winds, it does not affect holidaymakers and local residents.
- Winter here it is determined only by the calendar, + 10 degrees in winter - this is the normal temperature for local residents. There is almost no cold here, in winter the temperature rarely drops below zero.
- Summer this city is the sunniest of all resorts of Crimea, the sun almost never leaves Beregove. Even Yalta, popular among tourists, cannot compete with this village in the mild climate.
As for the weather in summer (air temperature and sea), it is as follows.
- July August holds an average air temperature of +28 +30 degrees, but humid air softens such heat stroke on the human body and makes the rest comfortable and enjoyable. But it is worth remembering that being in direct sunlight for a long time is very dangerous. You need to sunbathe in the shade and use sunscreen.
- The sea pleases its guests with a water temperature of +24 +26 degrees. It is worth remembering that the Black Sea is much more restless than the Sea of Azov, so there may be storms or small waves. It is worth knowing not to spoil your expectations about vacation.
- The water remains warm for quite a long time, the swimming season here opens in May and ends in October., but given that the winters are not very cold on the coast, some swim all year round.
What to see?
Tired of the eternal hustle and bustle of people come to the Coast, in order to enjoy the peace, tranquility and beach vacation. But they also want diversity and see something interesting and new, to gain impressions. For them, too, there are interesting scenic spots.
- Devil's stairs. In the original, having the name Shantay-Merdven (Tatar). It used to be a strategic object for the inhabitants of the coast - the transition between the northern and southern parts. But as a result of technological progress, it has lost its value and now serves as a local landmark and historical monument. Despite its gloomy appearance and not very interesting historical origin, this place attracts tourists with its mysterious name and legends.
- Rock iphigenia, which height is 120 meters. Few people know that this rock is a fragment of the ancient volcanic massif that existed in the Crimea before the Jurassic period of the development of civilization. The formation of the rock was attended by the rarest rocks: keratophyre porphyrites and spilite tuffs.
The exclusivity of this rock is that there are no others like it on the entire Crimean coast. This rock is mentioned in the myths of ancient Greece.
- Golden beach. This is also a kind of attraction due to the fine yellow-golden sand, which is why the sea gets a perfectly blue tint. The purity of the beach is monitored, so it has not lost its mystery even now. The beach offers boat trips, diving and sailing.
- Lake Kuchuk - Ajigol. It is small in size - its total area is 0.326 square kilometers. It does not have healing properties, there is no healing mud. Local residents do not recommend swimming in this reservoir, very often an unpleasant smell comes from it, and a change in the color of the water in it was also noticed. Favorite activity of the locals on that lake is fishing. Although the chance to carry home a “big” catch is extremely small, there are plenty of those who want to try their luck among visitors. Most often there you can catch crayfish, plankton and other animals.
As for the picturesqueness of this lake, in addition to the blooming of water, rushes grow along the coast, and further steppe, which blooms and adds color to the lake. Often gulls fly to the lake, allowing everyone to take pictures of themselves. What else can you capture on the lake? Fast and nimble lizards, which will certainly get into the frame while you are being photographed.
- Karadag Reserve - Kara-Dag volcanic massif, it also includes the whole mountain range along the coast and preserved underwater reefs. Since the recognition of this part of the reserve, they restored a significant part of the flora and fauna of the Crimea. And to reduce the risk of people interfering in the life of the reserve, they created trails, which are guided tours, but you can only walk along them accompanied by a reserve worker. Animals in the green area, there are about 5 thousand species, 540 of which are considered endangered and listed in the Red Book.
