Elling in the Crimea: what is it and how to choose the best?

Elling in the Crimea - quite a popular type of housing, allowing you to fully enjoy the accommodation on the coast. Initially, these buildings served as ship repair docks and were aimed at the owners of boats, boats, small yachts. But gradually they were able to turn them into real hotels on the water - comfortable, affordable and providing really the best view from the window. Of course, living in boathouses is not exclusively a Crimean invention. Most overseas seaside resorts offer the same services, without requiring guests to present a vessel in need of repair.

Needless to say that the demand for such housing is really high during the entire holiday season, and it is usually located at a relative distance from the places of pilgrimage for tourists. This makes it possible to use for recreation a territory that is inaccessible to ordinary visitors. Advantageous location - not all, because In most cases, guests of such mini-hotels have the opportunity to walk to the central embankment of the city in a few minutes or find themselves in a busy local market.. In conditions when almost all boarding houses and hotels are located in the suburbs, such living conditions look really out of competition.

That is the question asked by those who first come across the offer of such housing on the coast. Today, slipways in the Crimea have already become a familiar part of the landscape. The buildings, built on the first line near the water, are distinguished by simple architecture, minimal amenities and high density of accommodation. They are distinguished from hotels by the fact that they are mainly built by private individuals.

Traditional sheds in the Crimea look like multi-storey buildings located as close as possible to each other. They are within walking distance from the beach, pier, embankment, can be erected in several rows - the second line is much cheaper to rent. Modern beach building of some areas of the peninsula consists entirely of sheds. Such objects include the coastal strip of the village of Privetnoye, the village of Utes.

Their appearance slings owe high demand for the most budget accommodation options. Those who have recently traveled to the sea "savage", today want to gain access to the benefits of civilization. In the apartments inside the slipway, for this purpose, everything is usually provided: modern furnishings, bathroom, kitchen for self-catering. In some embodiments, the calculation is carried out on large companies of 4-6 people.

The modern Crimean infrastructure is aimed at cheapening the residence of tourists. Ellings fully comply with this concept, but often have a semi-legal status - the building can be registered as a garage or a place to store a boat. In the daytime, such compact homes, despite the presence of air conditioners, are not very convenient for long-term stay. But for lovers of beach holidays, they become a real boon.

There are several obvious advantages of living in a slipway in Crimea.

• Budget cost of living. In Yalta, Alupka, Alushta, the price of hotel rooms may seem excessive even for well-to-do travelers. Elling is much cheaper and is especially beneficial for a family living. A room for 4-6 guests will be quite inexpensive, and the way to the beach and the sea will take a minimum of time.
• Comfortable atmosphere. Elling accepted to place away from the central embankments and beaches, respectively, you can not fear the curiosity of tourists, the cries of noisy companies under the window, the roar of highways.

The sheds in the Crimea really have many advantages. But not without flaws. As a rule, the owner owns only the area under the property itself. There is no adjacent courtyard or parking, and the exit from the building often leads directly to the concrete embankment. The boathouse and business travelers, or those who plan to officially register, will not be able to receive supporting documents. In most cases, private owners are not at all concerned about such issues. Another negative point is the dense population of the slipways and the frequent change of holidaymakers. Not all neighbors are pleasant, or at least just honest people.
