For the first time this year I was in the Crimea, the hotel is normal, clean, all the amenities are there and located in a quiet place. But Alupka itself is just terrible, everything is broken, garbage is everywhere, there are no street bins, all the roadsides are littered with garbage, although it is constantly cleaned, but apparently the mentality of people who come there and live there does not allow them not to litter, an unbearable stench spreads from this garbage, I I thought my child would breathe clean air there, but it turned out that it was the other way around, besides this, the worst thing is that on the way to the beach, which by the way is not at all easy, you have to go down for 10 minutes and climb back for 25 minutes, sewage flows straight into the sea right through the parks from the higher hotels and houses, the stench is unbearable, the beaches are a nightmare in general, the feeling that I came to rest not with people, but with ill-bred dirty-faced cattle, sorry for the expression, but there are no other words, in the locker room area within a radius of 10 meters, there are only used tampons, sorry, I haven’t seen anything like this anywhere, I don’t even have to talk about broken bottles and cigarette butts, they are everywhere.... In addition, the local people are somehow not friendly, everyone is embittered, it is useless to ask them anything, they answer that they don’t know anything in their city, the prices for everything are the same as in Moscow. In general, I consider it very stupid to go there again, my trip with a child cost for two, along with plane tickets for two weeks, 80 thousand rubles, i. e. 2.5 thousand dollars, for this money you could relax in more comfortable conditions in other countries.
