Natalia shares her impressions about her holiday in September on the Black Sea coast. The start of the trip was from Yekaterinburg.
How did you plan to go to Crimea?
Almost every summer, my parents make a trip to Crimea, and since everyone has vacations in September, they decided to go to the velvet season. This is my second trip to Crimea.
Crimea 2022 - what is it like? Semi-closed borders and closed airports in southern Russia. Many or few people? General mood?
There are not many and not few people, fewer children, since they have started their studies, mainly young and old people. We took three excursions and for each full buses of tourists were recruited. After traveling through Volgograd and up to the Crimea, columns of military trucks appeared on the road. And already at the place of residence in Beregovoy, military fighters flew every morning and night. There was no danger, everything was calm.
Crimea 2022: What are the prices for food and housing? How and where you lived. Approximate living expenses.
Food prices in principle, as elsewhere, may be slightly more expensive than in our city, mainly ate either in canteens, restaurants, or cooked themselves. They lived in the village of Beregovoe, near Feodosia in private houses. Accommodation cost 500 rubles per day per person, lived there for 16 days.
Crimea 2022: what you like. Where do you recommend to go, what to see?
Most of all, I liked to ride jeeps in the mountains in Bakhchisarai, I advise you to take a tour of them, beautiful views of the mountains open.
You can also go to the New World and walk along the Golitsyn trail, but you should not go there in the heat, because walk there in the sun for about 2 hours.
Sudak fortress is also recommended for a visit.
Palaces can also be visited, but in the season it will not be possible to walk quietly, even now the organization in the Livadia Palace has upset, 40 people are allowed into the hall, and everyone will go and take pictures of the exhibits while listening to the tour will not work, and you can not separate from the group, because another excursion is held in the neighboring hall.
Tell me about the road by car. How many days did you travel? Maybe there was something else on the road?
They arrived in 2.5 days (with two overnight stays) and were in Crimea after lunch. But they got up at 3 a.m. and drove at the maximum, every day they tried to drive more than 1000 km.
Yeah, we did. volgogradTo see Mamaev Kurgan, we walked there for about an hour, watched the service of the guard of honor and went on.
Impressions of the road: many or few tourists?
We arrived almost without traffic jams, there are enough tourists.
