Schelkino is a city near Kerch. Go on the Moscow-Kerch train to the stop seven wells. After - on a minibus minutes 10 minutes. It is very often on the way you can see people who sit with the signs "rent an apartment", so finding the housing is not a problem. We are usually removed from a friend, as we rest there for no first year and managed to make friends. Local in the summer moved to the cottages (who has), and rent their apartments.
The sea is Azov, but it is deep, warm and clean. In general, I really like to rest there, due to the fact that the influx of people there is small, mostly Muscovites. Beach - shell.
You can sunbathe and swim on the city beach, Tatarke and Bays, which are quite a lot there. In general, this is the only "rocky" coast on the Sea of Azov.
The bays are very picturesque, each has the name: Turtle Bay,
The bay of "Seven Brothers", Cosmonaut Bay (I do not know how true or not, but local people say that in this bay there was before the cottage of Yuri Gagarin himself, we even had the steps that remained from it), etc. The excursion along the coast with the bays gave us a local resident, thank you very much for an unforgettable campaign, since we had to climb the mountains with the help of a rope, although he, unlike us, rose to such mountains without difficulty and all support.
In the bays a lot of grottoes, caves. We showed the caves "wounded" ancient people. But those who "in the mountains" do not want to go, there is a pretty simple trail nearby, I definitely advise you to walk along the bays, it is very beautiful, but beware of the snakes, there are viper water. Although for the time of the excursion did not meet any.
Products can be bought at the local market, it is quite good. Many different cafes, in the evening - attractions, discos. You can walk until the morning, and they are located on the island, so people who want to relax at home does not interfere with loud music.
From the attractions there are unfinished NPPs. There used disco - now - no. The NPP has security with huge Caucasian shepherds, did not risk approaching her.
There is a reserve - Cape Kazantip. In order to go there, you need permission that can be obtained in the same place.
Another feature of Schelkino: few windless days, so that the sea is rarely rare - constantly waves, from small and to large, depending on the strength of the wind.
From the shortcino, you can go on excursions to Sevastopol, Feodosia, Kerch on buses, there is a stop where you can find the route and schedule. Local taxi drivers are friendly, we are not only taken to the station, but also immersed us things.
Resting in shortcino not the first year - I'm not going to change the place of rest.
