Первый раз в Алупке и все понравилось – наверное повезло? First time in Alupka and liked everything - probably lucky?

My husband and I, as they say, are already a “middle-aged couple”. In my life I have never been anywhere. In Soviet times, when they were still young, they went to Bulgaria, it was impossible to go further. I no longer speak for Sakhalin and Moldova and Abkhazia. Then a couple of times the children bought tickets to Egypt and Turkey. In general, while there were forces, they traveled. Now more and more of us are enough only for the Crimea. True, last year we went to Gelendzhik - everything is insanely expensive and the dirty sea - we didn’t like it. Until now, only Evpatoria has been visited in the Crimea. I don’t know why, really terrible beaches, stuffiness, crowds of people and boring landscapes around. But there were a couple of addresses of apartments near the beach and we were afraid to change anything.
This year we decided to take a chance and go to the South Coast. So say something to change. The son rummaged through the entire Internet and found a dozen options suitable for us in his opinion. We began to choose... You read, everything is beautiful, you start to find out everything is wrong or wrong. After all, we wanted to live among nature and not among concrete with a balcony overlooking the sea. Here the husband accidentally found the Private recreation center "NATAN". They called. They explained to us in great detail - if the maximum of nature and the sea with sufficient comfort is more important for you, then you are welcome, if the maximum comfort is more important, and the rest, as it turns out, then this is not for us. We decided to take a chance. True, before that, they called back three times and asked everyone, so as not to get into trouble. There are so many beautiful lies on the Internet that you no longer know what to believe. We were very worried until we arrived.
After we were warmly welcomed by the hosts Andrey and Elena, and when we really saw that everything really corresponds to what was written. Immediately, I felt calm in my heart. And only later, when we went to the center of Alupka, to Yalta and to this terrible Simeiz, we realized how lucky we were. During our stay, talking with other people on the beach, we understood why many are dissatisfied with Alupka and resent the fact that it is a long walk to the sea. It’s just that people initially believed that it was possible to live comfortably, inexpensively and, moreover, next to the sea - miracles do not happen and, of course, they were deceived.

Personally, we really liked the silence and tranquility at the Nathan base. In the evenings you listen to the sea, you wake up - around the cypresses and mountains are pleasing to the eye. The main thing is where to go and what to see. Hospitable hosts will always prompt and tell you any trifle. A lot of positive impressions. They even regretted that they still went to Evpatoria. Now we know exactly where to go to Alupka and why!
And for those who scold the rest in Alupka, I will say one thing - open the website of the NATAN Recreation Center and you will understand that there are good places in Alupka.
