A trip there is very affordable, and leisure time there is no worse than at other resorts.

It’s best when your family – your closest people – are with you at sea. Then rest will be a joy. In this article we will look at the best places for a quiet family holiday.

So where can you relax?

Peschanoe village. All conditions for the best pastime are created here. Unity with nature on local beaches will appeal to both children and adults! Pros of Sandy:

• Developed network of hotels and inns. You can bring your whole family here and easily move in even during popular seasons. Prices are a little steep, but they are in the area of ​​average;

What should you pay attention to?

Choosing a place to relax is not an easy task. Not everyone likes noisy and crowded places. And it’s best to spend time with your family somewhere in solitude, where no one will disturb you.

When choosing a locality, beach and sea, you need to pay attention to some factors:

• Price. Everything is clear here, it is important that the price is commensurate with the quality of the holiday. Many quiet and cozy villages have much better conditions for family holidays than popular beaches. And the price here is not so steep;
• A place to live. As a rule, problems may arise with this, so it is better to take care of housing in advance. Moreover, children will also come to relax - so it is doubly important to find a cozy place in advance;
• Infrastructure of a city, town or beach. People are whimsical creatures. Splashing in the sea 24 hours a day will quickly get boring, so it is important that the place where you are staying has something to eat, where to go and what to see. Usually cafe chains are well developed in all places. Quiet and uncrowded villages are perfect for family gatherings over barbecue. Children will also probably prefer to go on rides and see the sights.
• Transport communications. It is important to choose a village near a large city. Fortunately, there are plenty of such options. In this case, you can easily get to your vacation spot by car, bus or train, relax and immediately return back.

As a result, we can conclude that

A family holiday in Crimea is best spent in a small tourist village.

There are no crazy Yalta prices, no noise and hubbub, like in Sudak or Koktebel. But here there are all the conditions for a cozy holiday in a friendly family circle, helpful locals who are always ready to help you.

Mainly attracted by the presence of children's entertainment. However, it is worth remembering that there are pebble beaches everywhere (inconvenient for children) and the entrance to the sea is not always flat. Another disadvantage is the mountainous terrain; with children it will be quite difficult to constantly overcome the descents and ascents.

pros

Minuses

Developed infrastructure Many canteens, cafes and restaurants Evpatoria is perfect for a family holiday with children. There is a rich entertainment program for children and adults. The beaches are clean and sandy, where children feel comfortable. Reviews of holidays in Evpatoria (Crimea) in 2019 Photo © pixabay.com Feodosia - a great holiday with a child in Crimea In Feodosia you can find three beaches: sandy, pebble and shell. Bolshoi Komsomolsky Beach is great for walking with children. Beautiful scenery and fresh air. Feodosia has a large entertainment program for children of all ages.

The Crimean peninsula is a real pearl, a unique place for a beach holiday. Picturesque views of the sea and mountains attract many tourists from different parts of the world. Here you can not only relax, but also improve your body health. In order for your vacation to bring as many positive emotions as possible, you need to properly prepare for it. The most important question that every vacationer must find an answer to is where is the cleanest sea in Crimea? Clean water and the beach will not only provide aesthetic pleasure to the vacationer, but will also minimize the risk of developing infectious diseases and allergic reactions. But often these two troubles can ruin any vacation, turning it into a real nightmare. It is especially important to choose the right place for a beach holiday if there are small children among the vacationers.

Important Factors

When choosing where the cleanest sea and beaches are in Crimea, you need to consider the following factors:

1. Beach attendance. A large flow of vacationers leads to a large accumulation of garbage. Wild beaches are considered the cleanest, but in this case you will need to independently organize comfortable conditions for relaxation in such a place.
2. Climate. In the Western, Southern and Black Sea regions of the peninsula, temperatures, the amount of precipitation, the frequency of storms, etc. differ. All this undoubtedly affects the quality of the water and the nearby beach area.
3. Treatment plant. Every major resort destination has a large treatment facility near it. If such a station exists, it is necessary to clarify its serviceability.

In search of a clean sea: reviews from tourists

There are more than 500 beach areas known on the Crimean peninsula, which to one degree or another can be considered crowded. And if we take into account any wild beach or simply the opportunity to approach the sea, then this number will almost double.

Let's determine the best places to relax, where the cleanest sea is in Crimea. In the reviews of vacationers you can find opinions about every resort destination on the Crimean peninsula - from Feodosia to Tarkhankut. Therefore, it does not seem difficult to compile such a rating.

Golden Beach in Feodosia

This place is unique for its clean water near the shore and incomparable golden sand. This is what gave the beach its name.

It is located on the eastern coast of the peninsula and extends for several kilometers. There are several recreation centers here, equipped with everything necessary for an active vacation. From the city of Feodosia the beach is located a couple of kilometers away. You can get to it by your own car or by public transport, which runs quite frequently.

Golden Beach is especially loved by families who come on holiday with small children. Since the entrance to the sea here is gentle and the sea itself is shallow enough for several meters to make it comfortable for children to swim in. This beach is the most popular on the east coast. However, this can rather be called its disadvantage. There are always crowds of people here both on the beach itself and in transport traveling from the city in its direction.

Beach "Quiet Bay" in Koktebel

"Quiet Bay" is located near Cape Chameleon. This beach is a long arc of coastline with coarse sand and shells. If you are wondering where the cleanest sea is in Crimea, then the Quiet Bay beach will be an excellent option. It’s a good place to relax, as the sea here is really clean, almost transparent. From the resort village of Koktebel you can get here on foot in just half an hour. Some people prefer to drive up in cars. Which is quite possible, because getting to the “Quiet Bay” by personal transport is not difficult.

The sea near the shore is shallow and the slope is gentle. This is especially appreciated by vacationers with children and those who are not good swimmers. Here you can not only enjoy the charm of the surrounding nature, but also visit the famous place with healing mud. The infrastructure here is not developed at the highest level, but health improvement and a quiet beach holiday are what you can come here for.

Royal Beach

The famous Tsarsky Beach is located near the city of Sudak, in the resort village of Novy Svet.

This village has many attractions - juniper groves, unique bays, a champagne wine factory, but the main one is the clean sandy beach. We'll talk about it further.

For those who are looking for the cleanest sea water in Crimea, Tsarsky Beach will be a real find. The coast is strewn with small pebbles. This beach is one of the most popular on the Crimean peninsula. You can get to it from the New World on foot. You just have to follow the path from the western part of the village to the turn into the gorge.

The beach area is small and is part of a nature reserve. Holidays in these places will be truly unforgettable thanks to the picturesque nature and clear sea.

Here you can spend a vacation with your family, in a noisy company, or even completely alone.

"Bay of Love" in the village of Rybachy: reviews

"Bay of Love" is a wild beach of volcanic origin. It occupies a small area, but is therefore very cozy and comfortable. This is exactly the place where the cleanest sea in Crimea is. In the reviews of tourists who have visited these areas, one can find admiring comments. People write that the sea and the beach itself are really clean here. There are few tourists here, as on any other wild beaches. The bulk of vacationers are romantics seeking solitude with nature. Among the entertainments here you can do underwater fishing and snorkeling. Thanks to the clear water, it is not at all difficult to spot the inhabitants of the sea.

You can get to the beach from the village of Rybachye on foot. However, many will find this path difficult due to the large number of cliffs. The easiest way to get here is by sea. The picturesque nature is complemented by the remains of a once active volcano, which adds mystery and uniqueness to this place.

Yalta: Massandra Beach

This small-pebble beach is especially in demand among young people who prefer an active and noisy holiday, as well as among those who are looking for the cleanest Black Sea in Crimea. The sea water is really clear. In addition, it is also very warm.

The infrastructure here is quite developed and vacationers are offered a wide variety of entertainment. There is a rental point where you can rent motor boats, jet skis, diving equipment and much more.

Beach "The Little Mermaid"

This beach is easy to recognize by the sculpture of a mermaid located near the shore. Located in Miskhor. It is quite popular among vacationers and therefore crowded. However, despite this, “The Little Mermaid” may well be called the place where the cleanest sea is in Crimea.

The shore is equipped with everything necessary for comfortable swimming and sunbathing. In addition to a beach holiday in Miskhor, you can enjoy a large and beautiful park. This place is an excellent option for a family or romantic holiday.

Lost World Beach

Not far from Cape Aya there is a beach with the romantic name “The Lost World”. Around it are five-meter high mountains that block access for tourists who do not have special equipment and skills. However, this does not stop many vacationers and local residents who get here by boat from Balaklava or on their own boats.

This place attracts adventure seekers and outdoor enthusiasts. However, when going here, you need to take care of a minimum supply of food and water in advance. Since The Lost World has absolutely no infrastructure. During periods of severe landslide collapse, the beach is closed to the public. Since it is really unsafe to be here at such moments.

Silver Beach in Balaclava

Those looking for a place with the cleanest sea in Crimea often choose Silver Beach in Balaklava. It gets its name from the yellow sand and the bright sun that reflects on the water during sunset.

From Balaklava you can get to the beach by boat, which goes in this direction every hour, or you can walk. And although the infrastructure of Silver Beach is not well developed, there are usually a lot of vacationers here. Probably, many are attracted by the clear sea and amazing landscapes. This is the main criterion for a good rest.

Miami Beach in Olenevka

Not far from Cape Tarkhankut there is the cleanest beach on the entire Black Sea coast. The purity of the water here is due to the fact that in this area, as well as in the immediate area, there is not a single river flowing into the sea. And although this place is characterized by steep slopes and strong rockiness, this does not prevent many tourists from organizing their holidays here, pitching tents or simply staying on the pebbly shore.

This beach especially attracts lovers of “wild” holidays. Here you can also have a great time diving, underwater fishing, and simply enjoying the purity of almost untouched nature.

Sea of ​​Azov in Crimea: where is the cleanest water?

The Sea of ​​Azov does not attract tourists from the Crimean Peninsula as much as the Black Sea. This is due to the prevailing impression of the Sea of ​​Azov in the Krasnodar Territory. But where is the cleanest water? We can safely name at least three resorts - Kerch, Shchelkino, Mysovoe. Having visited one of these places once, you will want to come back here again and again. The sea here is clean, almost transparent, the beaches are not crowded, and the infrastructure is quite developed. Here you can have a great holiday with children, since the slope to the sea on these beaches is gentle, the shore is quite shallow, and the water is very warm.

A little conclusion

Mysterious, magical, amazingly beautiful Crimea has many faces, it is not without reason that it is called “the world in miniature”, because it has everything: steppe and mountains, green valleys and healing lakes, protected forests and beautiful parks, beautiful palaces, noble estates and amazing natural monuments, mysterious caves and cultural monuments of long-vanished peoples, the sea with its beaches and underwater caves.

Look at the map of Crimea: the inner part of the peninsula is occupied by the steppe, mountain ranges are concentrated in its southern part, and all this is surrounded on all sides by the sea. Many of the most beautiful places in Crimea are located on the coast, but there are also many that lie off the tourist trail and cannot be reached by transport.

This wild peninsula, one of the most beautiful places in Crimea, is located at its westernmost point and will probably remain a place with which people will never do anything. It just can't. The steep cliffs are too formidable, its underwater caves are too deep.

The sea here is so clear that standing high on a cliff, you can see the stones at the bottom. But the most amazing sight will be seen from the sea: huge through grottoes cut right through the rocks, caves are hidden behind high arches, and the rocks are twisted into the most unimaginable shapes. From time to time, the tireless surf and wind collapse part of the rocky coast, and then a new fantastic-looking cliff appears in this beautiful place in Crimea.

Atlesh, the protected area of ​​Tarkhankut, is made up of white limestone rocks, the processing of which has been worked on for centuries by a brilliant sculptor - nature. He cut up the coastline in a fantasy way, giving the rocks of this beautiful place in Crimea amazing shapes:

• Turtle - a large rock jutting out into the sea, really resembles a giant turtle looking out to sea.
• The Cup of Love is a rock in the shape of a round pool. Its depth is 6 meters, and it can only be reached through an underwater tunnel.
• A 150-meter, completely unexplored cave, which can only be reached in one way: by swimming under a rock hanging over the sea.

Ak-Kaya (White Rock)

A huge white cliff is located in the Belogorsk region of Crimea, in the valley of the Biyuk Kara-Su river. The huge stone plateau ends with a sheer wall 150 meters high. The rock, hanging over the valley, is especially beautiful in the rays of the setting sun. It was once the seabed, and its layers are a kind of chronicle of the past 70 million years. A careful look will definitely notice fossilized mollusks, sea urchins, crabs, and in the youngest layers that are on the surface of the plateau, there are shark teeth, whale and seal bones.

Koyashskoye Lake

This amazingly beautiful and saltiest lake in Crimea lies in the south of the Kerch Peninsula. In summer, algae living in the lake turn its water pink, and the higher the temperature, the more intense the color becomes. The shores of this beautiful place in Crimea are covered with salt crystals that smell like violets, and on the water surface there are bizarre salt icebergs. Just a narrow strip of sandy beach separates the pink sea from the Black Sea.

Balaklava Bay

You will not find another such beautiful place in Crimea as this bay. It is sandwiched between two mountains and protrudes into the land to a depth of 1.5 kilometers. The entrance to it is not only very narrow, but also invisible from the sea. The unique shape of the bay in the form of the English letter S makes it the quietest harbor even during a strong storm at sea. You can admire this beautiful place in Crimea from the top of the mountain on the eastern bank, where the ruins of the ancient Genoese fortress Chembalo have been preserved.

New World

This is the name of a small village near Sudak. When the car passes the last turn, an unusually beautiful place opens up before your eyes, provocatively beautiful even for Crimea itself. Mountains Orel and Sokol protect the New World from the winds, and the air is saturated with phytoncides of pine and juniper. The three bays of this beautiful place in Crimea - Green, Blue and Blue - fascinate with the purity and transparency of their waters, and the mountain paths and grottoes add a unique charm.

Demerdzhi

Among the most beautiful places in Crimea is an amazing mountain range, which was once the seabed. When a stone ridge rose from the sea, the sun and wind created strangely shaped stone sculptures from it. In the setting rays of the sun, it seems that the figures really look like running people. Hence the name of the valley with stone sculptures -. Of course, there are many legends explaining the appearance of stone idols in this beautiful place in Crimea, and who knows, maybe something described in them actually happened.

Taraktash trail

You can follow this trail from Yalta to Ai-Petri and in the opposite direction. Of course, it's easier to go down. The views that open to your eyes during the descent are beautiful, but the crazy delight will be caused by one of the most beautiful places in Crimea - the Taraktash tract itself and its main attraction - an arched rock several tens of meters high. It is amazing that with thin walls and a fairly high height, a lonely rock does not collapse. The path will take you along a ravine, then through a narrow passage between the rocks it will lead you out. This passage is called the Taraktash Gate, it’s scary to walk along it, but the delight of this beautiful place in Crimea makes you forget about fear.

If you are lucky enough to be near the rock at noon, when the sun is high, you can see how the rock shimmers in all shades of yellow and brown. The height is breathtaking, but the beauty is such that you don’t notice anything else. Continuing the descent, you find yourself at another fantastically beautiful place in Crimea - “flying water”.

Wuchang-Su

Wuchang-Su - “flying” or “hanging water” in the old days called this two-cascade stream of water falling from Ai-Petri. It appears in all its power only in the spring, when the snow melts. In winter, the water freezes, and its frozen streams become like organ pipes, and this sight is almost more beautiful than the one in April.

Nature is capable of creating monuments of amazing beauty. But the creations of human hands are sometimes no less beautiful. Talented architects have written beautiful palaces and magnificent parks into the history of the beautiful Crimea.

Karaite kenas in Evpatoria

Among the beautiful places in Crimea is the snow-white temple complex of the Crimean Karaites, consisting of two hall-like, two-story buildings with lancet and semicircular windows. In the courtyard of this beautiful place in Crimea you can see arched galleries and a fountain. The building is not only an architectural monument, but also of historical value.

bird home

In the village of Gaspra, which lies on the beautiful southern coast of Crimea, on the very edge of the Aurora cliff, there is a tiny building made of white stone. The battlemented walls, high lancet windows and round tower with spiers make it look like a medieval knight's castle. It was once a country house with fireplaces and thick ceiling beams, but it doesn't matter what it is now. , like an elegant toy, seems to float between the sea and the sky, attracting the gaze of every guest to this amazingly beautiful place in Crimea.

Livadia Palace

Known as the summer residence of the last Russian emperor and the site of the Yalta Conference. But what makes it attractive is not so much the historical facts as the beauty of the palace and the park that was laid out around it.

The snow-white building in the Renaissance style with four courtyards, luxurious chambers and a unique interior fit perfectly into the landscape of the Crimean coast and became one of the most beautiful places in Crimea. The park, laid out on 40 hectares of land, was developed and preserved to this day: winding paths go around beautiful flowers and rare trees, green lawns are decorated with sculptures and fountains, shady alleys lead to the sea, and from observation platforms the endless sea opens to the horizon.

Palace in Massandra

Emperor Alexander III is considered one of the most amazing and beautiful places in Crimea. The palace is small, but incredibly beautiful and elegant. The architect, having decorated the facades with balconies, ornaments and sculptures, gave it the appearance of a fairy-tale, simply gingerbread castle. On the spacious terraces and in the park, according to the fashion of that time, sculptures of satyrs and chimeras were installed. The building was erected right in the forest, and it formed the basis of a beautiful park. Paths were laid out throughout the park and flower beds were laid out, additional junipers and conifers were planted along the alleys, and exotic plants were brought from abroad.

Foros Church

Between Sevastopol and Yalta, between the sea and the mountain range, the Red Rock rises, and at its very edge, like a fragile toy in the palm of a giant, stands the Church of the Resurrection of Christ. It is clearly visible from the highway, and everyone who drives past involuntarily turns their head to see this beautiful place in Crimea once again. The legend tells about the miraculous rescue of the daughter of a rich merchant on the edge of this cliff. There was salvation, but it was about Emperor Alexander III. Built in the Byzantine style, it has survived four restorations, and services are still held there.

Vorontsov Palace

Among the most beautiful places in Crimea is the beautiful palace in Alupka, which was created by order of Count Vorontsov, who was then the Governor-General of the Novorossiysk Territory. The Count wanted the palace to combine English austerity and the luxury of Indian palaces. Such luxury was suitable for these beautiful places in Crimea: from the windows of the palace one could see the sea, on the other side the Ai-Petri massif hung over the palace, and numerous springs would help grow a beautiful garden. This is how it turned out: the heavy English style is diluted with elements of a luxurious oriental style, and the battlements of watchtowers are adjacent to openwork decorations and arches.

Palace Park deserves a special place among all the beautiful places in Crimea. Both of its parts – the Upper and Lower parks – are amazingly beautiful. There are three meadows in Verkhny (Chestnut, Solnechnaya and Contrast), and on each of them separate types of trees grow. There is also Swan Lake, where these beautiful birds live, and Mirror Lake, there is even a waterfall. The lower park is decorated in Italian style; many unique plants grow there. Anyone who has been there claims that this beautiful place in Crimea is always in a festive mood.

Yusupov Palace

The magnificent Yusupov Palace is located in one of the most beautiful places in Crimea - in Koreiz, on a steep rocky seashore. It was built in the style of the Italian Renaissance, and its interior is simply luxurious: Viennese sofas and chairs skillfully made by Austrian furniture craftsmen, porcelain and bronze figurines. But the palace park is even more beautiful! It is decorated with trees aged from 100 to 500 years, and in total there are 7.5 thousand species of plants. The entire territory of this beautiful place in Crimea is decorated with fountains and small pools with figures of goddesses, naiads and mermaids. All entrances to the park, all niches are “guarded” by marble lions.

Nikitsky Botanical Garden

The garden was founded more than two hundred years ago. Its director, Christian Steven, conceived the idea of ​​creating a nursery for plants that had never grown in Crimea, in order to acclimatize them to the Crimean soil. And he did it very well. But the main goal was to collect on the territory of this beautiful place in Crimea all the plants that could benefit not only Crimea, but also the whole of Russia. Within three years, the botanical garden’s collection included 50 varieties of pear trees and almost a hundred varieties of apple trees. Gradually, the collection grew with Italian and French grape varieties, magnolias, palm trees, and plane trees. Plants unique to this beautiful place in Crimea have appeared: Californian sequoia, Caucasian fir, cedar, eastern pine, strawberry tree, bamboo, and it’s hard to even count the types of flowers. Today the collection consists of 30 thousand plants from all corners of the globe. And no matter what month you visit this garden, you will always see flowering plants: in the spring it is the “Tulip Parade”, in the summer – the “Rose Ball”, in the autumn – the “Chrysanthemum Ball”. The Botanical Garden, a wonderful creation of human hands, is still considered one of the most beautiful places in Crimea.
