With the onset of the holiday season, a significant part of the population of Russia rushes to Europe: some for impressions of the sights of France or Italy, some for shopping in Poland or Germany, some for resorts in Bulgaria or Spain. But we completely forget that you can relax and get a sea of impressions on the Black Sea coast - for example, in Alupka, a small resort town, which is conveniently located at the very foot of Ai-Petri Mountain.
If you look at the city from the sea, it seems that it is located on the wide steps of a stone staircase, which is crowned by a jagged mountain peak. From the east and west, it is separated from the rest of the world by two capes; from the north, a mountain range protects it very close to the sea. And it seems that Alupka lies in a cradle, wrapped on all sides by mother nature from the cold winds and protected from the southern heat.
Alupka itself leaves very pleasant reviews and impressions of itself. It is a clean and well-equipped town with winding, narrow streets that curl and climb mountains. Previously, houses were built here along steep mountain trails, and it seems that this is a mountain village. Now it is a very modern city with a developed infrastructure and rich cultural heritage.
The main historical value of the city is the Vorontsov Palace and a magnificent park adjacent to it. Shady alleys and sunny meadows, waterfalls, rivers and beautiful swan lakes - you will not see such beauty anywhere! It is not in vain that the park has more than two million visitors a year.
For those who choose a vacation in Alupka, reviews of travels along mountain trails and gorges, medieval cave cities and fortifications will remain a vivid experience for life. Amazingly beautiful landscapes of forests and tracts, mountain rivers and stunning waterfalls, traces of an ancient man who lived in the Ai-Petrinsky Canyon in the Neolithic era near the city, in the tract Ba-lin-Kosh, Taurus fortress, built a thousand years ago - all this amazes , surprises, delights!
But, of course, rest in Alupka is, first of all, the southern sun, hot summers, pleasant breezes and warm seas. The swimming season here lasts almost until the end of October, but also after that there are daredevils who do not want to part with the summer.
Leaves Alupka reviews and impressions, pleasant in all respects, and about the plant world, which is represented by the stunning Mediterranean flora. An amazing combination of the smells of almond and magnolia, pine and cedar is felt in every corner of the city. Here you can admire the southern palm trees and slender firs, oleanders and thickets of Crimean pine. The air saturated with these amazing aromas is not only pleasant, but also useful. It is one of the components of the healing microclimate of Alupka.
The beaches here are narrow strips of coarse pebbles. They are very picturesque, although perhaps less convenient than those located on the eastern and western coasts of Crimea. Cliffs and rocks protrude from the water, and the underwater world of the sea is amazingly beautiful. This is another of the attractions that Alupka is so famous for: the most enthusiastic reviews of scuba diving fans.
There are 14 sanatoriums on the coast in the Alupka region. Many of them have been helping people take care of their health for over 200 years. They offer treatment for bone tuberculosis and kidneys, cardiovascular diseases and diseases of the central nervous system. In this corner of paradise there are many hotels, villas, boarding houses, hotels - such as, for example, the Cape Verde complex. Alupka (reviews of guests here confirm this) can provide a unique opportunity to enjoy the comfortable conditions of a luxury hotel in combination with pristine nature. Magnificent landscapes, crystal clear air, a mild healing climate and the sound of the sea surf help forget about all the troubles and worries of everyday life.
"The crown of the southern coast of Crimea" was named Alupka. The reviews of guests who have been here fully confirm this opinion.
