To Chernomorsk by car!
A completely spontaneous trip to the sea for the holidays (from 23.08. to 26.08. 2018) was a success.
Sea!!!!!
And the presence of a trade wind in her gave hope for a good and interesting vacation - in some century not by bus! So let's go and see the sights. The plan was to Skadovsk, to visit the Ukrainian "Dead Sea" with pink salty water (Lemurian Lake is located near the village of Grigorovka). And to the island (peninsula) Dzharilgach. In the beginning, we wanted to go in 2 pairs. But, my husband categorically refused, and a friend of a friend was simply dismissed because he did not live up to expectations (although the idea of u200bu200ba trip to the sea was his). Decided to go babskoy company. Each found a friend. Then they decided to go closer - somewhere in the direction of Odessa - some kind of Illichevsk (now Chernomorsk). Oh, I don't care! If only the sea! My insatiable craving for the sea is like an addiction. . . just for one more time!
again revised the "cultural" program - in reaching the wine collectors (Shabo, Tairovo) and the fortress in Belgorod-Dnestrovsky. And next to Odessa itself! I started to rustle around Turpravda on reviews, sights and hotels. Not much. Then I started looking at wild housing “from grandmothers” on other sites. But, they tell me - no need, we go there and choose on the spot. Preordering is stupid. Well, okay, but I still stocked up on information from sites, otherwise I don’t want to spend the night on the beach. The company was shuffled for the last time - three women in the car + a 10-year-old kid, the son of my fighting girlfriend on trips (a seasoned fighter-traveler "in a budget way"). We left on 08/22/18 at night. Our carrier turned out to be top class, the road was completely wow - the passatik did not notice the bumps in the road. Rushed with the breeze!
We arrived at the place before dawn. The city met with garlands (as in Odessa on French Boulevard, here is the street or Mira Avenue). But, we were looking for st. Parkovaya (a really good park for walking) that went along the sea, since there were quite a lot of interesting housing offers. We passed in the dark through the park, went down the twisted steps to the embankment. And here it’s fun - music plays everywhere, someone screams in a voice that is not human in karaoke, all the shalmans work, although they are already trying to get rid of the “guests”. Quite cold (the hoodie came in handy for me, others used the blanket), the wind is strong, the sea rumbles from high waves! Here you are and hello!
But girls don't give up! : ) A bottle of semi-sweet champagne for 140 UAH. on a coastline overlooking the sea (although, of course, no view, as it is dark) - and we are in a great mood to look for accommodation. Although, it is necessary to meet the dawn! We decided to meet him in the park on a bench and finish our food. I really liked this breakfast (about 5 hours). The sun appears, the seagulls begin to fly, the pines are all around, the sound of the waves! What else do you need?
In the park by the sea
At 6 am, we already went looking. The quest to find housing turned out to be interesting. At the beginning of Parkovaya, there are a lot of "anthills" with European-quality repairs for delivery to visitors. It seemed to us somehow not comfortable here (prices: 1000 - 1300 UAH per day for an apartment).
At the We went further - there were interesting options, but all were handed over. They called the realtor (according to my information). And the trips began. What was on the site is all nonsense. Offers a lot, but different.
— Then they explained to us that these houses stand on a steep shore, and although you are provided with a view of the sea, you need to walk a long time to the beach through wastelands and in the sun. A wild beach, although it has its own romance, but there are no conditions (infrastructure). In general, the girls did not like it.
Wild Beach
then drove into the desert area of private houses - also go far and not cozy (on wasteland). He said that you can take a taxi - around the city 30 UAH. They parted with him not satisfied with each other. Why do we need a house with owners for 1200 UAH. + real estate 300 UAH. above? We just went berserk from such impudence.
Began to call on other my informilities (individuals). A peasant came running to ride with us as "Susanin", since not to him, but to his friend, and he does not know where. An acquaintance - a powerful aunt on a moto was taken deep into the city (but, in decent places) and brought to another friend of hers, and not to herself. We received 50 UAH for this. Man from our host 150 UAH. for the delivery of "tel". They have some "troubles" with mediation. So by 9 am we found our accommodation. We settled in a house on Sadovaya Street.
Sadova Street
First floor for 6 people - 3 rooms and amenities, with a front garden with grapes and barbecue.
Table in the yard
There were linen, but there were no towels. There was soap and toilet paper. The TV was huge and there was no hair dryer. The kitchen has everything you need (dishes, stove, refrigerator, microwave). So basically everything you need was there. The owner Max lived somewhere nearby, but not with us in the house. If we needed something, we called - he was nearby: he came, helped, advised, but did not hurt his eyes. The house for rent had, as it were, two apartments (the second on 3 floors for 10-12 people). But, since we were not for a long time, they decided to settle us on the first one (in a smaller apartment), but the Belarusians left only at 9 pm. So we were destined to go to the beach. Changed clothes, left things in a larger apartment and moved to the sea.
" Therefore, I won’t say the exact time - we weren’t in a hurry.
The city seemed to froze in time (somewhere the 80s, somewhere the 50s, somewhere our time). By the way, we noticed that many cars without numbers. They explained to us that the business of the 90s is flourishing here - they rent numbers from Belarusian and Moldovan cars (and they don’t spare foreigners either), and then return them for money. A foreigner cannot leave without a number, so they rent numbers in advance and ride around the city.
There is a staircase like in Odessa, but smaller. We visited her on the first day.

The promenade is nice (but not Nice, of course).

The beach is nice, sandy, long and wide.
Beach
The weather was great! Heat (30-34 and water 24-26 degrees). Tan sticky!
Beach
There are all the pleasures: mussels, shrimps, fish, beer and rapans with corn, baklava and homemade pies. Plying vendors sell snacks without restrictions.
There are food outlets. But, the buffet-dining room "Prunes" (Odessa brand) turned out to be expensive for us. There is a cheburek nearby. We tried to eat their chebureks for 30 UAH. - not only do you have to wait by appointment (they give you a voucher), but it’s also not tasty (for 14 UAH, it’s much tastier here).
. "Caught up" with shrimp. I tried mussels for the first time - very tasty. But, the owner dissuaded us from eating them, since his guests were already poisoned by seafood from the beach, and mussels are collected from some devices in the industrial zone and it is not clear what they are recruited there. Although, it's understandable. So this is the only time I will remember for a long time - I didn’t get enough, but I liked it. I bought a smoked fish igloo (expensive) - I brought it, I chew it a little, I remember. Great snack for a beer that I don't drink. And the wine is here (according to the local taxi driver - “urine”, sorry for the word). We, of course, bought on tap in different places (on May 1st), but all the time there were doubts. Although the evenings were long, wine. That under pasta with tuna (seafood could not be bought). That for pizza (purchased). Sincerely. Stay up late.
Pizza and wine - what else do you need away from Italy?
In general, here, everything you need to ensure yourself yourself, it is not "all inclusive. "
Pivasik
Very good large shopping center "Tavriya B" (ul. Mira 35). There you can buy an inflatable ring and a hat, and there are heaps of food and cooking. It is very convenient to stock up by car, but we “stepped in” and found it on the last day by accident, as we were looking for a private bank ATM. It was necessary to urgently send money to a starving student in Kyiv, but the Wi-Fi in the house somehow let us down. Or Privat24 failed, did not work. We did not understand. They ran looking for a stationary “replenisher”. Privat points were closed (holidays), and for some reason without refill boxes (only ATMs). They didn’t help us in the environment (they need to go there), but they suggested this shopping center (next to the executive committee) and there we solved all our problems. There are a lot of top-ups, ATMs and even theater box offices.
TC Tavria
In general, we had a good rest - on the beach.
It's all in the hat
We didn't go anywhere. We got up late, at best we got to 11 on the beach. Therefore, I never managed to take a sun bed for 45 UAH. Not enough. Showers and foot washing on the beach sometimes worked, sometimes they didn’t work. With the toilet everything is in order for your 4 UAH. (children 1 UAH) - please. There is also a paid shower (for 5 UAH), but it was far from our favorite place. There were also drinking columns, but not on the beach, but higher, on the embankment. The stairs, as I said (from Parkovaya to the beach) are very steep - they pumped up the legs to the creepiness + they also jumped in the waves (they rushed to the sea like a bad yak to fat).
Beach and hotels under construction
The water in the sea was amazing, the desired temperature (garbage was not much - extremely natural: algae, bark of trees, feather chaps). They could not get out, they sat in the water for a long time, only with breaks for natural needs. And now, as a result, 2 out of 4 with acute respiratory infections - outbid. Of course, so do I. Acclimatization I have only on arrival from rest. : ). I sit with snot and a swollen lip and my husband calls me "fish".
But I'm so glad that I managed to go - expenses only on diesel, housing and food. In general, 3 thousand UAH. "played"... although it was possible to save money.
Opera
Spent on all sorts of garbage and entertainment. We decided on the last day to 12 o'clock in Odessa before the trip home. And here is a fair with hand-made and all sorts of curiosities.
Handmade : )
And all sorts of concerts, entertainment. We are so relaxed. . .
I miss you so much!
Hi Duke!

Hey stairs!
Potemkin Stairs in Odessa
Even a marathon throughout the city and a fair on the boulevard did not change anything. Odessa is beautiful!

I have already written about Odessa, so I will not repeat myself - I just love it!
"But no matter how many words you say, you won't say everything about Odessa, because our Odessa is a thing that everyone enjoys. " And if you are interested in the details, here are the links:

Of course we visited Privoz. Very strange. In the photo from the Internet and with my husband, this is one place (beautiful with a monument to Aunt Sonya).

And with friends - completely different (natural-dirty, dyed). But they bought more fish (some red mullet, some oily). We immediately plunged into the atmosphere. We hear someone: “Why are you walking here? You don't eat fish, you eat breakfast! " We - "if you are mine - wait, I'm not a bullet to serve everyone at once. "

. . . According to rumors, the pigs are fed well.

We walked along Deribasovskaya.
} Farshmachok, eggplant caviar. Morse. More was not enough. 330 UAH But, not from everyone : ).
Mutch and caviar
Unfortunately, the beautiful perch in the sour cream they no longer prepare. And it would be possible....mmmm...
just chatted around the city drinking in spirit!
You are in Odessa! Smile!
And they rushed to their north.
The route for Kyiv was not clogged, and the pulls were not (in the area of .18-00 hours). So 8 hours there, 8 hours back, this is not a bus for you. And the transition from work to vacation is lightning fast and amazing. You don't get tired on the road, you get tired from the rest! And it's just wonderful!
Chornomorsk gave us a pleasant provincial vacation, stress-free and within our means. It is good to go here with large families or companies. There is a place for everyone on the beach. The sea is not deep and cleaner than in big cities. There are entertainment. What else do you need when you see off the summer?
In general, "frozen" - for winter ready!
The sea is never too much!
