Peninsula of red port.
Peninsula of red port.
In rivalry of two resort centres, favourite Russians
With an average prosperity - the Black Sea coast
And Crimea, - last has every chance to "win" the present
Resort season.
First, because to have a rest here is cheaper: the prices for permits
Are at level of 1999-2000. Secondly, as experts assure,
If Sochi - simply warm place what it is a lot of on globe Crimea
It is unique. Here there are more than sunny days, more chilly air also is salutarier.
Add here rocks and mozhzhevelovye the woods which are going down to the sea,
The well-known Crimean wines... That the eyes to see, how much
The peninsula is ready to flow of tourists, to Crimea has made voyage
The correspondent "VM".
The first what the visitor faces, - with a gossip about
"tatarizatsii" Crimea. Passing from Simferopol aside Alushty on
To "valley", there, where at the left there is lock Vorontsova, to you is indispensable
Will specify in appeared recently Tatar names of settlements -
Karavansaraj, Ishimkale - and sound houses of "newcomers". However, with
The points of view of the visitor, are not present anything better and more cheaply a dinner in
The Tatar small restaurants. The prices in them as in the Poppy-donaldse, and after
The second or third visiting the personnel addresses to you on
Name, also remembers you prefer what dishes...
Conversations on "repeated development" Crimea Tatars quite
Are clear:
The peninsula makes till now impression of a piece, which
Ukraine has swallowed, but and could not digest. Poverty
Especially is evident in Sevastopol. Natives with melancholy
Recollect times, when not in a Soviet way a pure city
Seamen patrolled, forcing to lift thrown by an urn
Stub. Today on Count landing stage beaten bottles roll, on
Slopes of coastal hillocks the tanks which have been removed from the ships rust.
The captain who has got on eyes of 1 rank is unshaven, in bad
Adjusted overcoats... All good, that becomes today in
Sevastopol, it is connected with Luzhkov. About it legends - go like
That the mayor, ostensibly, dotiruet permits to Muscovites to Crimea. But
To the Sevastopol to the tourist centre oh as it is far!
Revival of Crimea connects with blossoming of Southern coast, especially
Yalta.
Against other cities of Crimea Yalta makes impression
The cultural centre. Here there is even an Internet cafe pair - on
Ekaterina's and in the street Gogol where, at desire, it is possible
To communicate to "civil" interlocutors from among youth. However
In Yalta there are features, to know about which to the tourist not
The superfluous. The Moscow travel agencies first of all
Send Muscovites in hotel "Yalta". Hotel "Yalta" is
The huge case, eternally thin. Despite shchvejtsarov at an input
And the solid prices, residing conditions, to tell the truth, not all that well.
Ukrainians prefer not to lodge here. The Moscow public, on
To ignorance "flown" in hotel, at its foot wait bars,
Filled with doubtful public and... Prostitutes (40 dollars
For a night, at the average Crimean rate 10).
About that tear up in vicinities of this hotel from visitors
vtridoroga, speaks the following fact: from Simferopol to Yalta it is possible
To reach by a taxi for 70 griven (1 grivna - 5,5 roubles), but if
You have caught the car at hotel "Yalta", it is less than 50 dollars for flight
From you will not request.
Quite decent sanatoria where it is possible are nearby located
To find "lux" for 18-22 dollars a day, with a separate input, with
The schooled personnel. But these places, unfortunately, are little-known
To wide Moscow public.
On departure from "capital of Southern coast", for Livadiej, it is possible
To find out hotels "Bottom Arianda" and "Glitsinija". Last
It is known for that was no time Brezhnev's favourite summer residence. Even
To the western measures conditions magnificent: a natural tree,
Marble ladders to the sea...
The prices, however, the boundless. For number ask from 100 to 400
Dollars a day and, that is surprising, during a season of empty seats not
To find in the afternoon with fire It in general the main paradox of the Crimean hotels:
One hardly make ends meet, and others do not know, where
To place all interested persons.
To have dinner in Yalta it is possible on 20 griven in a snack bar, for 50 - in
Restaurant. The only thing what it is necessary to remember - in no event
Not to eat in the cafes located along coast. The prices
Read off scale, and the goods, according to experts, quite often
Lies too long.
Alupka and Meshor - the warmest in Crimea places. But Meshor
It is rather expensive, and Alupka every year all is stronger
Falls into decay. During Soviet times "savages" storm took
Even local hen houses. Now in Alupke the calm, is possible easy
To rent a room for 3-6 griven from the person in day. In Gurzuf and
Meshore for 10 dollars a day it is possible to apply for the decent
One-room apartment, and for 15 dollars - repaired under
"Euro" "dvushku".
The most popular places of mass pilgrimage of Muscovites -
Koktebel and Pike perch. Local this predilection do not understand: in
Koktebel always there is a terrible heat, the hot wind, and crowds blows
Muscovites (it is visible for self-complacency) blow cheap wine. However,
Wine here indeed the amazing. It is nearby located vinsovhoz
"A solar valley" - that, one of which directors
It was hung up, when at gorbachevskoj to struggle with green zmiem steels
To cut down centenary vineyards. The salary on him to hard workers pay
"In kind", and those market bottles excellent "Crimean" for
The half-prices...
But despite all defects of service to go to Crimea costs. That
More that "ridna nenka" has provided a number of customs indulgences
For Russians. The last can cross territory of Ukraine without
Visas on obshchegrazhdanskomu or to the passport some time.
At entrance the sum to 1000 dollars is declared orally, and to 10000
- In writing.
It is perceived as exotic, but since this year on a resort
It is possible to take even... Bank metals in ingots to 100
Grammes! If you take in head to go to Crimea on the own
avto, your car is not required to be registered in local GAI in
Current of two months from the date of entrance on territory of Ukraine. Only
Once at crossing of border from the automobile owner it is raised
The state duty - 10 dollars plus "ecological" gathering in 1 dollar.
Registration procedure will manage to the health-resort visitor in 120 roubles and half an hour
Holiday time. So - have a rest on health!
Andrey Polunin.
