General information and brief history of Evpatoria
Modern Evpatoria is an amazing city, a city of colorful colors, different architectural structures and a diverse population. "City of contrasts"
In terms of its age, Evpatoria can compete with many capitals of European countries. The city dates back 2,500 years, and almost every stage of development affected the architectural, cultural and historical appearance of modern Evpatoria, leaving a number of monuments that organically fit into the building ensemble of the resort town. To understand this city, you need to come and see with your own eyes its distant historical past, relive all eras with it, walk through the northwestern part of the city, which is saturated with antiquity - narrow crooked streets, cozy little courtyards with high whitewashed walls.
Geographically, the resort city of Evpatoria is located in the northwestern part of Crimea on a flat steppe terrain and stretches for many kilometers along the Kalamitsky Bay.
Essentially, Evpatoria is washed by water on three sides. On the south side there is the coast of Kalamitskaya Bay with sandy beaches. You will hardly find pebbles or dust particles in the sand of the beaches. And the sand is so fine-grained that when you walk on it, it feels like you’re walking on velvet. From the eastern side, Lake Sasyk-Sivash, which is the largest in Crimea, approaches the outskirts of the city. On the western side there are a number of estuary lakes and the well-known Moinak Lake with its unique healing mud. The northern side is a steppe that amazes with the variety of colors and fragrance of medicinal herbs and flowers. All this beauty is what lures the steppe land.
In the 4th century BC. e. The ancient Greeks, immigrants from Ionia, dropped anchor on the shore of the current resort city of Evpatoria and founded the city of Kerkinitida here. From century to century there has been a struggle for this land - Scythians, Huns, Goths, until nothing remains of the ancient settlement, only ashes.
In 1475, after the invasion and conquest of the Crimean land by the Ottomans, a well-fortified trading fortress city was again built on the site of Evpatoria, and they called it Gezlev, Crimean Tatars they called him Kezlev. The city later became a slave market. It was a city of wealth and power. It flourished for another 300 years.
At the end of the Russian-Turkish War, by decree of Catherine II on April 8, 1783, Gezlev annexed the Russian Empire, and received its current name Evpatoria and the status of a county town on January 30, 1784.
XIX - XX centuries Evpatoria experienced a lot: civil revolution, World War II. But the Evpatorians rose up and rebuilt their city, which turned into the most beautiful children's health resort.
And in 2003, the resort celebrated its anniversary - its 2500th anniversary.
Climate and ecology of Evpatoria
Some scientists compare the climate of Evpatoria with the climate of the best resorts in Italy and the southern resorts of France. The climate in the city is coastal-steppe.
In more detail, the sun shines in Evpatoria almost the whole year, the main months are the period from April to October. For comparison, in Moscow the average annual number of hours of sunshine is 1560, and in Evpatoria - 2430.
The average annual air temperature is approximately +11 °C, in the summer months the average temperature is between 22 - 23 °C, in the winter - about 0 °C. Winter in Evpatoria is mild and almost snowless, but piercing winds often blow, which lower the temperature.
Evpatoria is located so that it is open to winds from all directions. In winter, the predominant winds are considered to be north-east, and in summer - south-west, in the form of a sea breeze. Precipitation in the form of rain falls very rarely in Evpatoria, which is why the grass in the middle of summer is already dry, scorched by the sun.

What can we say about the ecology of Evpatoria? Today the city is considered the most environmentally friendly resort on the Crimean coast. There are no industrial enterprises in Yevpatoria that would pollute the atmosphere.
The main environmental problem of the resort is the loss from year to year of the coastal strip, its main wealth. In some areas, the shore has been reduced by three meters, and the cause of this disaster is sand mining on Lake Donuzlav.
Population of Evpatoria
The population in Yevpatoria is diverse and includes about 94 different nationalities and nationalities. Russians make up the majority of the population - 57%, then Ukrainians - 32%, Crimean Tatars - 10% and 1% are made up of other nationalities (Belarusians, Karaites, Jews, Azerbaijanis, Poles, Moldovans, Greeks, Germans, Bulgarians, Koreans, Armenians, Georgians, Uzbeks). The population is peaceful and educated (34% have higher education) and adjoin each other wonderfully.
Today, the population of Evpatoria has increased and is about 123 thousand people, and 10 years ago it was 117 thousand. Population growth is increasing due to internal migration, due to the arrival of young couples for permanent residence and the arrival of students to study.

IN summer time the city's population can increase to 1 million people due to holidaymakers.
Due to favorable living conditions in the resort city, the average life expectancy is 77 years. The age of the population is different - from a baby to an old man; in the courtyards you can see a lot of mothers with babies walking, as well as grandmothers on benches. There are a lot of small children in Evpatoria, and this is explained by the fact that the city has all the conditions to give birth and raise a child. The city also has a sufficient number of preschool, school and higher educational institutions.
During the inter-resort period, Evpatoria is in peace and quiet - taking a break from the holiday season, since with its beginning turmoil, fun, constant movement and noise begin.
Districts and real estate of the city of Evpatoria
In addition to Evpatoria itself, the Evpatoria region of the Crimean Peninsula includes 3 more villages: Zaozernoye, Mirny, Novoozerny (Donuzlav). Evpatoria is not the largest city by Crimean standards, its area is 65 km², but still the Evpatorians managed to divide it into many districts and give each district its own name.
In Evpatoria, the cost of housing mainly depends on its location; the most expensive real estate is in the sanatorium-resort (coastal) zone, the cheapest is on the outskirts. If you compare them, the difference can be 20-30%.
Sanitary and resort microdistricts
Yevpatoriya residents often combine these two microdistricts into one - a resort and sanatorium. Both of these microdistricts originate from Lenin Ave. and stretch to the Gorky embankment and to Lake Moinaki. These microdistricts got their name because of the huge number of health resorts, boarding houses and hotels located here. All conditions have been created here for a comfortable stay for holidaymakers. Convenient transport interchange, good roads with marked pedestrian crossings, many small shops, cafes and nightclubs, beaches. We can say that almost all entertainment venues and entertainment are collected here, especially during the holiday season. In this microdistrict there is the well-known Kursaal and the park named after. Frunze.
In terms of recreation, these are the favorite neighborhoods of both vacationers and Evpatoria residents themselves. During the holiday season, due to blaring music and the constant movement of holidaymakers, it is problematic to sleep and relax here. Most often, apartments in these areas are purchased not for permanent residence, but to be rented out to vacationers in the summer. The cost of real estate here is quite high.

This is a young, well-equipped microdistrict, which is located on the steppe plains of Evpatoria. The main type of real estate is private luxury houses and cottages; there are also many land plots for sale for development. House prices vary and depend on the comfort of the property.
Zaozernoye village

City infrastructure
On the Crimean Peninsula, since 1990, every year among resort cities with a population of more than 60 thousand people. The so-called competition “Settlement for the best improvement and support of public order” is being held. Evpatoria has been the winner more than once. Repair and reconstruction of the city is happening gradually and not in fragments, as in other resort cities, but comprehensively. The city hall's plans are to transform Evpatoria into a European resort and preserve all cultural monuments.
Problems such as broken roads, clogged drains, and lack of lighting still occur in the city.
For example, in the Moinaki area, closer to the lake, there are no lanterns, and after dark it is scary to walk there. Road repairs along central streets are carried out every year, but in courtyards and distant microdistricts there are practically no roads. But the main problem is clogged and non-functional city drains throughout the city. After heavy rains, the water can stand 60 centimeters and last a long time. Plus, when it rains, a terrible sewer smell emanates from the drains.
But there is also good news for lovers of such transport as a bicycle. In the city, in the microdistricts of Center, Moinaki and Sanitarno-resortny, bicycle paths have been created where cars are prohibited from entering, as well as about 30 bicycle parking lots near supermarkets and markets.
Evpatoria also has a well-developed transport hub. It has its own railway station, sea cargo and passenger port, and bus station.
The city has transport links of both internal and interregional importance.
Minibuses, buses and city taxis travel around the city itself. There are no problems getting to any point in Evpatoria. True, during the holiday season, minibuses and buses are overloaded towards the embankment, and during this period there are frequent traffic jams. There is also a unique type of transport in the city - a tram, it is called a “single-track”, it can take you to the railway and bus stations, as well as to the city embankment.
The social sphere in the city is well developed. Each district has preschool and school educational institutions. It is difficult to get into kindergartens; an application must be written immediately after the birth of the baby. There are also specialized kindergartens in the city: speech therapy, orthopedic, and those with visual and hearing impairments. In Yevpatoria there are about 30 preschool institutions and about the same number of schools.
Also in Yevpatoria itself you can get secondary and higher education. There are also enough medical facilities, because the resort is aimed at treating and relaxing holidaymakers and local residents.
Enterprises and work in Evpatoria
Work is a perennial problem in the resort city. The season ends, and half of Evpatoria residents are left without work, since most of the jobs are provided by health resorts and boarding houses. Only a small part of the sanatoriums operate year-round, salaries range from 200 to 600 dollars, depending on the position. You can, of course, try to get a job at a company.
What can we say about the city's enterprises? There are no longer large industrial enterprises in Yevpatoria, only food and light industry enterprises remain.
One of the leading food enterprises is the bakery plant OJSC Krymhleb, which provides bakery products to Evpatoria itself and nearby settlements. About 200 people work here, the salary is about 200 dollars.
JSC "Evpatoria City Dairy Plant" produces all types of dairy and fermented milk products. Dairy plant employees try to produce high-quality products, but for this they are paid pennies, 200 - 300 dollars.
For the same salary, you can go to work at the Yevpatoria garment factory, which specializes in sewing bed linen and underwear, or at a winery that produces its products under the brand name “Golitsyn Wines”.
One of the largest and most popular enterprises is the Evpatoria sea passenger and commercial port. About 250 employees are involved here. The salary is an order of magnitude higher than at previous enterprises.

The oldest enterprise in Yevpatoria, the Stroydetal plant, was created in 1944 to restore the city after the Nazi occupation. Now the company is engaged in both its main activity - repair and construction work, and in parallel produces products: mortar, concrete, reinforced concrete and carpentry. The plant employs about 100 people, salaries vary, but promotions and a full benefits package are possible.
There are many smaller enterprises in Evpatoria. Real estate agents, cooks, medical workers, educators, service personnel, and animators have always been in great demand in the resort city, but only for seasonal work.
Crime in Evpatoria
After the last gangster group, which was engaged in robbery, racketeering and brutal murders, led by A. Yukhnenko, was caught in Yevpatoria in 1998, the crime situation in the city improved and became more or less calm.
During this period there were several sensational criminal cases. In 2007, a maniac began to operate in Yevpatoria. From May to August he kept the Yevpatorians on edge. On his account, three women were brutally killed and one was seriously wounded. Based on the testimony of the surviving woman, a composite sketch was compiled, which was used to later catch the maniac. It turned out to be a local resident.
In 2011, there were two sensational cases in the resort city: “Good Uncle” and “Familiar Uncle” - two pedophiles. They raped a 7-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl. Both pedophiles were detained and are serving their sentences.
IN last years The city is quiet and calm, only corruption, bribery and small thefts are rampant.
Sights of Evpatoria
Evpatoria is a city rich in attractions. You can start your journey around the resort city from the Old Town, namely from the “Gezlev Fortress Gate” or “Wooden Market Gate”, which are located on the corner of two streets: Karaimskaya and Karaev. The construction of the Gezleva settlement began in the 15-16th century.

If you walk further along Karaimskaya Street, you can reach the Karaite Kenas - a beautiful complex of temples of the Crimean Karaites. It is a must visit. Construction of the kenas began in 1803, after which the complex was rebuilt several times. Now the complex has been restored and is in perfect condition; services are still held there. Excursions are conducted during the holiday season; a tour with a group of 5-6 people and a guide will cost about $2.50, and an independent tour is even cheaper - about $1.50. You will see the Big and Small Kenas, a marble courtyard with decorated patterns, an alley of vineyards, and funeral tombstones of the Karaites.

Opposite the “Gezlev Fortress Gate” is the “Tekie Dervishes” - a Muslim temple. The temple was built in the 15-16th century, but even today it is in good condition. Visitors can see a mosque with a minaret, 19 cells, a cemetery where temple servants were buried, and a small exhibition about the life of the “Dervishes”.

A little further down Krasnoarmeyskaya Street there is another historical monument, the Turkish Baths. Their construction dates back to the 16th-19th centuries. Having visited them, you can see the men's and women's sections, which are located in parallel, the reservoir where the water was stored, the water supply and heating system of the baths. The condition of this historical monument is disheartening. But there is hope that it will be restored this year.

Another one of the most beautiful monuments is the Khan Mosque “Khan-Jami”. The date of construction of the Khan Mosque is considered to be 1552. Now the mosque is in perfect condition and is used for its intended purpose.
Khan-Jami Mosque. Photo by july-76 (http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/july-76/)
In the Old Town, it is worth visiting the amazingly beautiful St. Nicholas Cathedral and the architectural monument of culture, the Yegie Kapay Synagogue.
Art lovers visit the A.S. Theater Pushkin, which was built in 1910 in the Art Nouveau style, is also home to one of the main squares of Evpatoria - Theater Square, where all the city's holidays are held.
A favorite place for both Yevpatorians and holidaymakers is the Kursaal (Frunze Park), where almost all entertainment is located: nightclubs, cafes, restaurants, attractions, etc.
The Kursaal is home to the most popular youth nightclub, Malibu. The music played is electronic (klubnyak), famous DJs often come, the hit of the club is the foam parties. The entrance price varies depending on the season and starts from $3. For lovers of romance, the Southern Cross nightclub is nearby. I am glad that there is an open dance floor, which is so important in the summer - fresh air, stars, a show program before the disco.
During the hot season, you can please yourself and the kids gentle sea and water attractions. Extreme sports enthusiasts will appreciate the ultra-modern water park “Banana Republic” - 25 water attractions and 8 swimming pools. Here, after a stormy holiday, you can have a snack. The water park is located 7 km from Yevpatoria in the Saki district. Entrance to the “Banana Republic” is a little expensive for Evpatorians; it is more aimed at holidaymakers who are ready to spend everything on vacation. Prices for adults are $25, children between 90cm and 130cm are $18, and children under 90cm are free. The cost is based on a five-hour stay.
The Crimean peninsula has prepared many resorts for tourists. Evpatoria is one of the most amazing and definitely the best on the West Coast. Situated in a relatively flat area, without mountain peaks and peaks, it will delight you with a truly excellent coastline, which is covered, as a rule, with sand - only small pebbles are found here and there. So, let’s look in detail at why holidays in Evpatoria are so in demand. Go)))

Brief history of the resort
Evpatoria can rightfully be classified as one of the oldest in the world. It was founded in the 6th century BC, at the height of the Greek colonization of the Black Sea region, by immigrants from Ionia. During its existence, the city was known by two names, not counting the current one - Kerkinitida and Gezlev. Accordingly, the cultural and economic significance of the policy also changed.
The Greek colonists named their settlement Kerkinitida - it was a classic polis, whose inhabitants were engaged in both crafts and trade, as well as agriculture. During its heyday, it had about 2 thousand inhabitants (a lot for that time). He was dependent on, but had many rights, including the ability to mint coins. The city was destroyed by the Scythians at the end of the 2nd century BC.
Nothing is known about the early Middle Ages of Yevpatoria, but during the period of the Crimean Khanate the city of Gezlev arose in its place. There is a version that the Russian fortress became the basis for it. It was the only full-fledged port of the Khanate, had a large fortification, and the largest mosque in Crimea, Juma-Jami, was built there. The population of Gezlev was multinational, but lived peacefully.

Guide
Yevpatoria is the main resort in the western part of Crimea, an all-Union children's health resort, which remains so today. On the territory of the city, located on the shores of the Kalamitsky Bay, children's health camps, boarding houses, and sanatoriums continue to operate, accepting children from all over Russia. Adults also come here for treatment. Evpatoria borders on two mud lakes - Moinaki and Sasyk, where medicinal mud is extracted that helps with many ailments.
The resort is surrounded by steppes, which has a beneficial effect on its climate. In summer the weather here is dry and sunny. Precipitation occurs mainly in winter. From November to March it is windy and cold in Evpatoria.
The high season at the resort begins early - in mid-May. This is explained by the fact that the shallow sea in Evpatoria Bay warms up well and retains its heat for a long time. The water near the shore turns out to be 4-5 degrees warmer than in the open sea. Strong winds causing storms are a rare occurrence in the high season.

Attractions
Children and adults will certainly enjoy the historical sights, of which there are quite a few in Evpatoria. It's worth setting aside a couple of days to study them. Evpatoria is not just a beach and balneological resort, but also ancient city, founded more than 2500 years ago. It was owned by many peoples who left reminders of themselves in stone here.
The famous Ottoman architect Haji Sinana built the beautiful Juma-Jami Mosque here. Another Islamic architectural monument dates back to the same period - the tekie (dormitory) of the dervishes, where an ethnographic museum is now open. From the Karaite Turks who settled in Evpatoria in the 18th century, the Big and Small Kenas, which were used for worship, have been preserved. Today, in the complex returned to this small ethnic group of Crimea, you can visit a museum dedicated to their history and way of life, and the Karaman cafe, where they serve exclusively national cuisine. Here you should definitely try the small dumplings khamur-dolma and chibureks chir-chiry.
From the times of the Russian Empire, the city has preserved the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, which rises behind the mosque.
In 1914, a narrow-gauge tram line opened in Yevpatoria, which is still in use today. Now everyone can ride on the old tram.
Health tourism
Evpatoria is a recognized balneological resort, where thousands of tourists come every year to improve their health. They are accepted in sanatoriums, recreation centers, children's camps, and boarding houses, where unique treatment methods are used using mud from the Saki and Moinak lakes and mineral water.
Even just staying in Evpatoria has a positive effect on health. The local dry climate, the absence of changes in atmospheric pressure throughout the day, and the abundance of sunny days in the high season contribute to the overall strengthening of the body. People who do not want to see doctors in sanatoriums, but who are not averse to experiencing the miraculous effects of local mud, independently go to Lake Moinak, where there is a tram and minibuses. There, vacationers have at their disposal fatty healing mud, which can be used to smear the entire body. True, any independent treatment should be approached with caution.
In Evpatoria sanatoriums they help patients with diseases of the spine, joints, skin, nervous, hematopoietic, and digestive systems.
Beach holiday
Most vacationers come to Evpatoria for the sun, the sea, wide long beaches, and sea activities. Many beaches in Evpatoria have a sandy surface, which means they are great for families with children. True, even here there are sections of the coast that are not very convenient for children. These, for example, include the beach on Tereshkova embankment. It is equipped on concrete slabs that do not have a gentle descent into the water. There are steps into the sea covered with slippery algae. Despite these inconveniences, this beach is always crowded with divers.
Beaches that belong to sanatoriums and hotels are paid, but in the city center there are also several municipal free places to relax by the water. These include the “General” beach, which is adjacent to Frunze Street. The most comfortable and cleanest free beach in the city is considered to be New.
Paid beaches are quite accessible to visit. To use the beach infrastructure you will have to pay about 30 rubles per day. The clean and not crowded beaches belonging to the boarding houses “Solnyshko”, “Planeta”, “Mriya” are very popular among holidaymakers.

Appeal to the authorities of Evpatoria
In Russia, Law No. 52-FZ “On the sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population” includes a section on silence, which clearly limits the permissible noise level day and night and time limits. The most common concern is violation of the law at night, when a person usually rests before the next working day. The noise level from 7-00 to 23-00 should not exceed 40 dB, and from 23-00 to 7-00 - 30 dB. To understand how loud such a sound is, it is enough to say that, for example, the noise level from an alarm going off in a car parked near a house is 80-100 dB.
Please draw the attention of the authorities to the fact that the city of Evpatoria is identified by everyone as children's resort, but in practice in Evpatoria it is very noisy at night, from a large number of nightlife establishments. Those who come on vacation have to listen to night discos until the morning.
The authorities of the city of Evpatoria put things in order at night and give people the opportunity to sleep peacefully at night.
Establishments open 24 hours a day:
Crimea (history, geography, population)
Evpatoria is a famous resort city on the western coast of Crimea. The permanent population is just over 105 thousand people, but during the holiday season it increases several times.
On the territory of the modern city there was once an ancient Greek settlement called Kerkinitida.
After its destruction, the site remained empty for centuries. During the conquests by the Crimean Khanate, the city of Kezlev, or Kozlov in Russian, was built on the wasteland. The city received its modern name only after the annexation of Crimea to the territory of the Russian Empire.
The city is located along the Kalamitsky Bay, distinguished by its shallow waters. The area is practically not elevated above sea level, average height is only 10 meters. In the southwest there is a resort area where a significant portion of tourists stay. It is noteworthy that Evpatoria, like many cities of Crimea, has a so-called old city with winding narrow streets that have an interesting grid of interlacing. Many houses here have a rich history, and were built during the Crimean Khanate. The northwestern part of the city is the so-called “Modern City”, where multi-storey buildings (up to 18 floors) are located. Here the street layout is radically different from the Old Town. Wide ears and avenues dominate here. The northern part of the city is completely given over to industrial enterprises.
The territory of the city is conventionally divided into several districts, including the Old Town, where the distance to the sea is only 700 meters, the Sanatorium-Kukort zone, whose permanent population is no more than 7,000 people, as well as others. The central part of Evpatoria occupies a place north of the resort area. There are multi-storey buildings and the majority of shops here. 30,000 people live here permanently. The area of Perekopskaya Street is located near the automobile ring and combines private houses with high-rise buildings. Population 10,000 people. Microdistrict 8 is adjacent to Lake Moinaki. Near it there is a mud clinic with the same name. This area is relatively remote from the sea, 1-3 kilometers. Behind the railway station there is another part of the city, popularly called “behind the line”. The population here is 20,000 people.
Slobodka and Peresyp are occupied exclusively by private houses and several new boarding houses. A dam was built here several years ago to avoid disasters during winter storms. And finally, the Ismail Bay district, where exclusively Crimean Tatars live in private houses.
If you want to go to Crimea for treatment, then choose Evpatoria. Mud baths and brine waters, unique in their composition, air saturated with sea salt, sun, sand and medicinal plants will help you improve your health.
Within the city there are many public and private beaches, both sandy and pebble. Outside the city you will find numerous small reservoirs, lakes, and estuaries with healing mud and highly concentrated salt solutions. Unfortunately, in 1990, Lake Moinak lost its status as a health resort of regional importance due to the uncontrolled discharge of fresh water here.
In the middle of the last century, the first source of mineral water was discovered on the territory of the city, precisely on the territory of the Moinak mud baths. The water from here was extracted at a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius, sodium chloride in its chemical composition. Later, 3 more healing mineral springs were discovered in Yevpatoria.
If you want to get to know the city better, then follow the three existing excursion routes. “Little Jerusalem”, “Chaika Settlement” and “Modern Evpatoria” will open up the history of the city and introduce you to the modern state of the region. If you come to the city during the holiday season, then you may also be lucky enough to get on other sightseeing tours around the city.
