To all avid travelers strongly recommend going on a fascinating trip to the Crimea on its own car, as we did our family this year. Say that we got a lot of pleasure - say nothing. Well, sue yourself - there the sea and there is beauty there, and for Russians do not need any visas, passports, additional permissions and all that other things. Well, since the Kerch Bridge has already opened up for exploitation, then do not stand in a long queue on the ferry. That is, if you look at some solid amenities.
To the trip, of course, it is necessary to prepare first very carefully. First of all, think over what places and settlements you are interested in most of all, how much time you have time for the trip as a whole and how many days you can stop in every place.
Take care of the rental of apartments or places in campsites, in hotels, as in the summer season is a very popular direction. These conditions will depend on the total cost of your trip. And be sure to download electronic cards to the navigator, so that you will not get down in the path from the way.
We started my trip to come from the Kerch bridge. You can pass on it completely free, but it is impossible to do the stop on it. Movement on the bridge is very good and the distance of 19 kilometers is overcome very quickly. But just do not forget that there is a speed limit - 90 km / h and camcorders are installed. And in general, there are a lot of camcorders in the Crimea on the roads, even in very remote places from settlements. So do not forget to observe the signs and rules of the road, then at the end of the holidays, I also had fines to pay.
The first city of Crimea, which we visited was Kerch. Very nice town, well-groomed streets and clean embankments. Here it is necessary to visit Mithridate Mountain - there at its top there is an observation deck that offers delightful views. You can also visit the Agimushkaya catacombs, and some other attractions. We for example, we went everywhere with a guide.
From Kerch, we reached Feodosia for an hour and a half. The distance is about a hundred kilometers and the road passes through a hilly steppe. But there is no other here, it is the only one. You can swim along the way for example in the coast or in Primorsky. In Feodosia, we went to visit the Aivazovsky House Museum and visit the Alexander Green Museum. The streets here are very quiet and there are excellent landscapes from everywhere, who in life constantly inspired the Great Marinist.
From Feodosia, we decided to turn to Koktebel, there is a distance of only twenty kilometers and we could not resist not to try the famous local wine. There you can safely stay in an affordable hotel or in the autocamping, which will be much cheaper. Further, our way was lying in the capital of Crimea Simferopol, but on the way we decided to look into a very interesting city of Sudak.
This part of the road was rather complicated, because there is a cunning mountain serpentine. And we must be extremely attentive. The main attraction of this city is certainly considered the old Genoese fortress. Here you can stay for a few days, because you really have something to see. Here are very good hotels with good very service, normal restaurants, attractions and all sorts of entertainment.
We further went straight on Simferopol, the road in principle takes an hour and a half, but we drove along the way to the top staff to visit the Women's Monastery and the mountain with saints and even bathed there. Then, on the way, you can also visit the Tagag Zoo in Belogorsk - a very interesting place. Well, in Simferopol itself, very well-groomed streets, many attractions, so it is better to inspect it with the guide.
Then we were moving to Sevastopol according to the plan, but we decided to leave the ancient Bakhchisarai to the Pushkin's suspension. In former times it was the most real eastern city with with antique mosques and noisy markets. Now all the tourists come here are mainly visited by the Khan Palace here. It is certainly very interesting there, but we still looked at the Holy Assumption Monastery nearby with his caves.
Well, here we are finally in Sevastopol. The city is certainly very large and nimble in it is quite difficult. So you need cards and navigators. Well, it's best to hire a guide again, so as not to miss anything. If you do not want a guide, at least visit your own Schimov Square, look there a monument to the dead ships, go to St. Vladimir's Cathedral and inspect the place where the Base of the Black Sea Fleet was previously located.
Then we went to Foros - the most beautiful Crimean city. The distance between him and Sevastopol is 48 kilometers, so we overcame it in one hour. Here we decided to stay in a calmly relax on the beach. They are here and sandy, and pebble - you can choose to taste. And here you must certainly visit the park with the rarest plants that collected from many corners of the Earth.
Then, on the path of the following path there was an Alupka, where we rose an ahi-petri. And then we went to Yalta, because it is simply impossible to drive it by. There we stayed for a couple of days to inspect all the sights, which there are a lot there. Of course looked in the Massandra to try the famous wine.
Next, the route was Alushta, in which there is also something to admire. There are beautiful beaches and it is possible to stay for a few days to relax in front of expensive home. Well, the last place we visited was the village of New Light. This part of the path was rather complicated, so we were overcame it in about two hours. Again, cunning mountain serpentine. The new light is not for nothing called the paradise place - there is a blue sea with snow-white sand, very beautiful mountains and generally picturesque views. Well, then everything is very simple - we moved through the Kerch Bridge and started a long way home.
