Even foreigners leave reviews of the most positive nature about rest in Yalta. Of course, the service of Crimean resorts is different from any other, especially European, and, frankly, leaves much to be desired. However, this city is for those who go on vacation for sensations, contemplation of the unique nature, Ukrainian mentality. However, the most fastidious will find here comfortable accommodation.
Before discussing about the rest in Yalta, we will decide what kind of place it is on the South Coast. It turns out that Yalta is not the southernmost cape, so it has its own cold currents, in June it is almost impossible to swim. Fortunately, from strong winds the pearl of the Crimea is protected by a ridge of rocky mountains. Beauty Ai-Petri - the most famous peak of the peninsula - hangs over Yalta. You can get there using the cable car from Miskhor. In general, the Yalta territory includes a huge coastal strip from Foros to Gurzuf, consisting of small settlements and sanatoriums.
Holidays in Yalta, whose climate reviews are set in a positive way, are possible both in summer and in winter. The air from the mountains is striking in its unique purity. It is hot in summer, but tolerant thanks to shady parks and tropical plantings. The beaches are stone, they quickly heat up, however each of them is equipped with an awning. And those few islands of the “wild beach” that still remain will captivate those who want to bask in the sunny expanse of the coast. By the way, rainfall all year round is very gentle, if in summer rare drops of rain fall on sunbathers - this is considered grace.
Where to live in Yalta?
Swimming holidays in Yalta get even brighter reviews - after all, the beaches here, unlike other areas of the Crimea, are beautifully equipped. The warm sea, a full service rental of water bikes and mattresses, comfortable sunbeds, a clean coastal strip. The swimming season begins in May-June and lasts until October. But arriving here in the midst of a holiday (in July-August), guests often overpay for housing. Even the private sector at this time is not lower than hotels in megacities.
After all, it is in this city that the largest hotel on the peninsula is located, here parks are decorated with centuries-old plantations, among which Pushkin and Chekhov walked, and Philip Kirkorov himself annually. Therefore, hotels in Yalta have the right to cost exorbitant prices.
Those wishing to get a decent level of service should take note of five-star villas - for example, Elena, which is even more difficult to book a room than a place in Monte Carlo. Here and its spa resort, and private parking, and a lot of indoor entertainment - like little Italy in the heart of Yalta. On the embankment is the legendary Oreanda, known since Soviet times, Yalta-Intourist, as well as the aristocratic Bristol. But is it worth paying such money for a vacation at domestic resorts, if for this amount you can easily fly to Crete?
An ideal choice would be to rent an apartment in Yalta. Moreover, the price will depend on both the distance to the beach and the number of people living in the apartment. For example, a two-room apartment located 500 meters from the sea with a renovated junior suite for two will cost about 30 euros per day, and when shared, two more may require an additional 10 euros per place.
