Summer holidays in Crimea depending on the city
It is almost impossible to list all the opportunities for recreation in Crimea in the summer of 2018. Therefore, it is better to focus on several cities, which are a kind of nodal points for further travel across the Crimea.
First of all, it is worth mentioning Simferopol. These are the first cities in which all visitors enter. Kerch- the city of a hero, spread out on the shores of the Black and Azov Seas. It is in it through the ferry that you can get on a summer vacation in the Crimea and choose a further road.
And nearby is a small town where you can relax on the shallow and warm Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov, try kiting and windsurfing.

Simferopol- the capital of Crimea and the intersection of all roads. In addition, the city is interesting for its architecture and the abundance of beautiful churches in the city center. Getting to Simferopol from Kerch it is impossible not to get to Feodosia. It is worth staying in it to be able to get to the Green Museum and the Aivazovsky Gallery.
Once in the capital, it is important to decide on the desires. For a holiday in the Crimea in the summer of 2018, a visit to Yalta and Alushta would be an excellent choice. These cities are located close to each other and are equally capable of giving the opportunity to relax on the beaches in the highlands.

And just between them there are 2 sights of Crimea: the Artek recreation center and the Nikitsky botanical garden.

Rafting and kayaking
By shuttle bus from Sevastopol you can get to the hidden Balaklava bay. In addition to the secret base located inside the mountain during the USSR, it is worth visiting the Cembalo Fortress here. This is a truly magical place, especially at night when the wind picks up and blows through the holes in the scaffolding built around the fortress. The whole fortress seems to “sing”, as if thousands of Indians are playing their bizarre wind instruments. Kayaking in Balaklava will add an unusual feeling to your vacation. Behind the Matrossky beach there are bases of distributors. For every taste, you can rent equipment or go on a training tour directly from Balaklava Bay. Driving a kayak is surprisingly easy, and the experience of this mode of transportation is indescribable. The kayak enters the grottoes very easily and swims past the most picturesque rocks. The only thing worth taking care of in the summer is sunscreen and a hat.
In Crimea, there are many good places for families with children. This is facilitated by a wide variety of beaches, stunning nature, a large selection of attractions and other entertainment. You will find out where to relax in Crimea with a child and what to see on the peninsula during your vacation.
When choosing where to relax in Crimea with children, keep in mind that it is difficult for children to sit in one place, they need a change of scenery, even too often. Plan the trip so that you can offer your child new and interesting entertainment in a short time.
The main thing for which they go to the Crimea in the summer is the sea. The water in the Crimea warms up to +20 in June, and the velvet season ends in early October. Read on to find out which offer the best conditions for families with children.
All the city beaches of the cities listed below are easily accessible even with a stroller. The wide promenade makes it easy to walk to the sea and back. A variety of entertainment allows you to go there with children of different ages.
1. Alushta
Alushta is a popular resort that is famous for its pebble beaches. There are many activities for children here:
2 dolphinariums - Aquarelle and Nemo. Here you can watch shows of both dolphins and fur seals.
Water park "Almond Grove", located near the embankment. There are 12 attractions available here. There are 2 hotels on the territory of the water park. If you stay in one of them, visiting the "Almond Grove" will be free and will allow you to come there whenever your child wants - at least every day.
An aquarium with more than 250 species of fish from all seas and oceans, as well as crabs, turtles and crocodiles. It is conveniently located in the heart of the city, close to the embankment and the dolphinarium.
Park "Crimea in miniature". Here, a child can see the most interesting places of the peninsula in an hour and find out where they are. It is located right in front of the aquarium. There are similar miniature parks in Bakhchisarai and Evpatoria.
2. Yalta
When choosing where to go in Crimea with a child, it is worth remembering Yalta, the center of Crimean tourism. Here you can see many natural and architectural sights, visiting which will not be tiresome even for kids:
Bird home;
Livadia and Massandra palaces;
Wuchang-Su waterfall.
Yalta offers children a wide range of entertainment:
Aquapark. In Atlantis, a visit for a parent and child will cost less than 2,000 rubles. But there are only 9 attractions, including 2 pools.
Zoo "Skazka", popular throughout the Crimea.
Dolphinarium offers an interesting show program. It is located in the open air, allowing you to admire the mountain landscapes at the same time.
Fans of more exciting entertainment can go to the Aquatoria Animal Theater and watch walruses, fur seals and dolphins.
The Yalta Crocodilariarium will show you and your child the most terrible predators on the planet. Walks next to snakes, caimans and, of course, crocodiles are waiting for you. You can take pictures and feed them. The crocodile aquarium is located in the city center, not far from the embankment.
Going east from Yalta, you can visit the Nikitsky Botanical Garden with its greenhouses, flower beds and rare varieties of flowers and plants. It is especially recommended to visit the garden during the numerous flower balls.
Many hotels in the city have children's rooms with animators - you just need to choose. And in the vicinity of Yalta you can take a ride on horses and ponies.
The disadvantage of the resort is the lack of comfortable and spacious city beaches. At sea, it is better to go to neighboring Massandra. The beaches here are exclusively pebbly, as on the entire southern coast.
For children, the village of Gurzuf is interesting, first of all, for the Artek camp, which has been the main children's health resort of the peninsula for more than 90 years.
If you just go to Gurzuf, you can go on a boat trip to Adalary and Bear Mountain - the symbols of the resort village. And you can get to Artek without a ticket - just by paying an entrance ticket.
From Gurzuf it is convenient to get to Yalta sights - half an hour by minibus and you are already in the city. But accommodation will be cheaper. The beaches in the village are pebbly, and the entrance to the sea is mostly smooth.
4. Simeiz
Simeiz is another popular resort on the south coast. Here, as in Gurzuf, there are many interesting coastal rock sculptures that you can admire from the beach and even conquer on foot. For a child, conquering the Diva rock will be a real adventure.
Holidays at sea with a child in Simeiz will not be complete without a visit to the Blue Bay water park, located a short walk from the beach - behind Mount Koshka. There are 9 attractions here, but the cost of visiting is slightly higher than in the Yalta Atlantis.
In addition, the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory is located in Simeiz, which will be interesting and informative to visit not only for every child, but also for adults. The observatory conducts review and popular science lectures. Under favorable weather conditions, there is a demonstration of the Sun or objects in the evening sky.
5. Evpatoria
If you want to show your child, then we recommend that you go to the west of the peninsula - to Evpatoria. Local beaches are distinguished by a convenient entry, and the depth here is not gained immediately, but gradually. This will allow you not to be afraid for the child, and it will be easier for him to get used to the sea.
Having left the city to the west, you can diversify your vacation on the Black Sea with children by visiting the Belyaus sand spit. Nearby is an amazing castle - the building of the Viking Hotel. It will be very interesting for a child to look at it. The sea in this place is transparent and clean and resembles the world's best resorts.
In Evpatoria, there is another Crimean water park - "At Lukomorye". All rides are named after fairy-tale characters, and to relax after the slides, you can use one of the three pools.
