Kerch the historic city of the port, with the history of conquest, victories and defeats.
This is not the city of the resort, but still excellent marine beaches here are just half an hour's ride as towards the Carrack steppe with the famous general bays, and in the direction of Cape Opuk with famous cliffs ships.
In the proud himself, we arrived by 10 am, traveling by bike in the Crimean Peninsula. We had a lot of time, but enough in order to remain memory and only good impressions of this city! The first thing that rushes into the eyes is the excellent quality of roads and sidewalks, with extensions for strollers and people with disabilities. The city is drowning in greenery, many flower and lawns, everything is clean and cozy.
I think every tourist who came to Kerch must visit Mithridate Mountain, this is the highest point in the city, there are 400 steps here, and an amazing panorama of the city opens from the top. Until today in the city and its surroundings, there are many archaeologists, leading excavations of the oldest Bosporian kingdom.
After visiting the Mithridate, we rolled along the port, here to Russia to file with our hand, visited the Kerch Embankment. Everything is very well maintained, standing benches, resting citizens, the city lives with its ordinary life. But where is the beach? I have spun in my head all the time. I drove until the end of the embankment, they saw how the guys jumped up and swam from concrete slabs, from them I learned that you can drive up on the city bus to the beaches.
Hence the conclusion that it is not worth planning a maritime vacation in Kerch, but to visit it with a historical purpose, go to museums, go to the ruins of the fortress and go down to the famous catacombs unambiguously needed!
