Driving with a comrade on the road from Balaklava to Yalta notice the turning pointer "Alupka".
I heard a lot, but never. The car shows the right turn and here we are in Alupka.
With housing, they decided not to bother and not to look for - stopped at the nearest autocamping. I do not specify the name - you consider advertising. Yes, and impressions were pretty dual from living there. That's what I liked it very much - this is the view from the door threshold - just awake!
But everything else rocked a little - to the sea is far away, the numbers are so-so (compared to prices), the service is the same. But God with them.
Immediately at sea. Go long. A very long time. As later I understood those who took the housing closer to the mountains - very long go to the sea, and then back. They walked to the beach through the children's camp, and then through the boarding house. The beach was not impressed in general - narrow, dirty, Ellling is built everywhere. Some broken poults and other metal structures. The beach is stone, but the pebble is large - walk very nice. Water is just exceptional purity and transparency. No entertainment, cafes and other disgraces))) very little people and this is at the end of July. And the place as I understood the famous - the rock "Frog". But it looks like a look!
Cropped, of course, to volatit and pleasure.
Prices. Incomprehensible prices). Were in three stores in two cafes. Prices were pleasantly pleased - quite moderate. Cafe is more or less decent. Shops - just some horror. Two of the three were part-time with some glass-eaters with a bunch of a very marginal view of comrades. Yes, and prices in stores at around the Monte Carlo.
Sights. They are a bit. And specifically only one, but worthy of attention. This is the Vorontsov Palace and the Vorontsovsky Park. Very favorable impression all this produces! Everything is very and very beautiful, rich and somehow more complex. You can walk around the park for hours and not to get tired at all. Be sure to visit!
The town itself made some kind of dull impression. It seems that this is not a separate city, but a suburb of something more.
Although the town itself is not bad. Quiet, calmly, resting people is absolutely a bit. A sufficient amount of shadow. Very purely on the streets, gorgeous views of the mountains. This is exactly the views of the Crimean Mountains most of all I remember from Alupkin architecture.
Evenings on the berths and pierces a huge number of fishermen. And catch!
So here we remember Alupka. Some kind of dual. I do not know whether it wants to come here again, but in Vorontsovsky Park, you take a swim in surprisingly clean and deep water and jump from the "frogs" - it is always with pleasure!
