The village of Marine is located between the resort of Sudak on one side and Alushta on the other. You can get to the village by bus or on a personal car, from the city of Sudak. 17 kilometers along the winding serpentine mountain roads, towards the Kapsikhorskaya Valley. It was in the bed of this valley an excellent seaside resort town spread. The road is severe and dangerous. Narrow, two-band route wriggles among the rocks like a snake, but on the other hand the danger is compensated by magnificent scenery on the infinite horizon connecting the sky with the sea. And far in the lowlands spread "endless" vineyard plantations, which in the Valley Ai-Serz. It is from this grapes that the famous Massandra dessert wine and the same name, local wine "Ai-Serz", is made.
The beginning of the village is celebrating a camping tent,
Located right on the sea coast. Here in the season are lovers of "wild" rest. And such "savages" in the season is absorbed quite a lot, the cars with tents are built on almost the right to each other. This is one of the ways of budget recreation. Under hand in car camping there is everything you need. The local river provides fresh water, after falling into the sea, nearly dear grocery stores. But this method of recreation is not a member of each, we in particular were not ready to detonate the sides of the pebbles covering local beaches. We followed (on the way) to the pension "Sunny Stone".
Pension "Sunny Stone" consists of several buildings and rest in it is just a fairy tale. Huge, track "Soviet" multi-storey building with traces of a partial renovation. Pension buildings are surrounded by a stunning park with relict plants. The fragrances of the fragrance of which, a wonderful microclimate of an unforgettable rest, create a wonderful microclimate.
I will go to a more material component of rest. The cost of living in the boarding house is not at all budget. Economy class rooms are expensive and start from 250 UAH. In June, 500 UAH end. In luxury rooms in August. This is certainly expensive, even for Economy class, but .... The price of accommodation includes three-time, full nutrition plus afternoon personnel. And if you now estimate at cost without meals, approximately 150 UAH will come out. (Which is quite normal even by the standards of vacationing middle wealth). The same, as in any other resort, is a good competition to boarding houses. In which there is a very "cheap" accommodation places (from 50 UAH.). But here it is necessary to understand that such cheapness means a minimum (and even the complete absence) of any comfort. Also in the market of services for the provision of accommodation places in a separate line, you can enter private hotels, mini pensions. Some of them are quite decent and provide quite comfortable rooms for all segments of the population, according to their prosperity. Such, compact, inexpensive private hotels in the sea are "Ay-Fock".
Pension completely with its food and entertainment industry. We rested in this boarding house in the first visit to this wonderful resort and were completely satisfied.
Returning to the pension "Sunny Stone" I would like to say that the prices indicated by me are quite adequate for the Crimea and stipulate on the place of all those who want with the administration (those who are settled without a trip). We are in our hands a cherished way (half-paid by the state) did not experience the price policy. We were interested in the place of accommodation, the sea, the sun, and a worthy pastime with children in the evenings. And I want to say in advance, we all got fully and worthy of quality.
Our number gave a little 90 years (whitewashed, furniture of those times), but quite clean and spacious. Full, two-room room for a large family of 4 people. Large double bed in one room and folding comfortable sofa for children in another. Everything is quite civilized, wardrobe, coupe, TV. A decent view of a bathroom with a bath (truth, combined). It is the necessary minimum that is just necessary in the resort.
What I would especially like to celebrate this is just a huge loggia in the room. The entrance to which from both rooms. At the loggia itself, a spacious chaise lounge was provided, where the evenings rest one pleasure, admiring the stars and enjoying the fragrances of the fragrance of plants of the park.
The nutrition of the fantasy did not differ, but with all some scarcity, the food menu is very tasty and the portions were huge. Our two adult portions "with head" have enough so that there are dreams together and children.
At the same time, fresh salads and fruits have always been on the table. For children, the midnight was joy. Gave yogurts. Summing up, there were no problems with nutrition, fed like "calves to slaughter." All delicious and satisfying.
Pension Beach Pebble, completely clean.
Comfort conditions normally thought out. Sunbeds, umbrellas - everything is available for all vacationers, whenever they did not come to the beach. Entertainment standard for the Crimea. Starting from children's slides and trampolines before scooters. I really liked walks on the boat, skating on the "tablet" and banana. The sea is clean, quite safe for children. There are no boulders, gently sloping to depth. The driver in early July is still a little cold until dinner, but after dinner children are not pulled out for the ears.
About excursions - in the boarding house as much as you like. Directly in the boarding house there was a bus with a guide, where excursions were formed into any part of the Crimea.
We went everywhere and everywhere. Swallow nest, Mammoth Caves, Vorontsov Palace, Jur-Jur Waterfall, not to count. For 12 days of rest, 5 days paid excursions.
In the evening in the boarding house is also not quiet. In the pension itself there is a cinema (in the afternoon for children of cartoons, in the evening, everything is for adults). Day for children showed circus performances, and in the evening the music of the night disco rumbled. For hard drinks, juices, simple drinks for children do not want to go anywhere. In the boarding house its infrastructure. Everything is. Your barchik with everything you need, in the evening turning into the club for dancelagles and evening gatherings.
In a word - rest was a success.
