14 happy days!)))
Without hesitation, it was decided to spend your vacation in the Crimea in 2014. The choice fell on Alupka)))
There were 3 adults and an 11 year old child. Arrived by Aeroflot. We managed to buy a ticket for 7.000 rubles round-trip at the end of April. And on August 10, we arrived in Simferopol! We were greeted by a transfer from the hotel. Meeting price - 2000 rubles. As we later found out, it is very cheap. The journey took 1.5 hours. We stopped at the Kedr-Vostok hotel. Each booked a separate room for himself, respectively, we were waiting for three rooms. The price of the standard in this period is 1900 rubles. with sea views. Meeting, check-in - everything went great! And here we are going to eat at the SEA!!! ! Our hotel is located near the bus station and of course we were looking for something to eat nearby, and nearby were Grail, Vetrok, Traktir on Dvortsovaya, Nadezhda complex and Korimfa. We stopped at the last Corymph. Looking ahead, I’ll tell you my opinion and observation, no one goes to the Grail and we didn’t go.
The tavern "killed" us with music a la chanson performed by a badly singing man. "Veterok" - well, this is not the most delicious place and after it we all had problems with the stomach. "Nadezhda" - beautiful, the food depends on the change of the cook, they got sooo tasty, and the same dish, but on the other day - not tasty and another hand was felt. Music is live, after 19.00 and per person for 45 rubles. In short - once you can go. And here is "Corympha"))) The situation is wretched, but! Breakfast scrambled eggs from 30 rubles. First courses for 30-40 rubles!! ! For the second meat + side dish no more than 120 rubles. Kebabs for 100 grams from 100 rubles. Manti about a hundred rubles. Delicious pasties - 45 rubles. The price of alcohol as in the store. For dinner for three adults and a child with a bottle of wine, we paid 1050 rubles for the whole table! None of them had stomach problems. The cuisine is quite tasty, if someone needs it economically, then you are here. In the future, we found a more suitable place for ourselves, or rather Azure Beach.
The beach there is urban, but there is also a paid area with sunbeds and umbrellas. We paid for sunbeds and umbrellas for 60 rubles per person. We were fine with that. There is a toilet on the beach. There are changing rooms. The sea is the cleanest. Sanipedemstation regularly takes water samples. As I wrote, we rested in a paid area, a paid area with sunbeds, belongs to the restaurant "On Azure" and as I heard it has the name "Domino". The restaurant is located 10 meters from the sea and stretches along the coast. The cuisine there is Crimean Tatar, amazingly delicious. Everything is fresh and half of the dishes are cooked in front of you. Breakfast from 120 rubles. I highly recommend pancakes with chicken and Dar Blue cheese. The first course - Soup of tiny dumplings in broth (I don't remember the name), Lagman, Shurpa, Quail broth with quail eggs - all for 120 rubles and huge portions. Unusually delicious Caesar salad - 220 rubles.
I recommend the "Greek" salad, the portion is such that it was enough for three of us (the child does not eat it). Plov is a dream! The price is 150 rubles. Separate WOW - lamb skewers. Rack of lamb or pulp - everything is unusually tasty! We ordered every day, you won't find such lamb in Moscow. The price for one hundred grams is 120 rubles. Menus are delicious. Fish is also in assortment in any form, but there was no red mullet. Large kettle with tea - 90 rubles. Juices for 20 rubles, beer from 60 rubles. The bar makes any cocktails, the price is from 150 rubles. All the employees of the restaurant have become like family to us. Always greeted with a smile and care.
Our excursions started from Ai-Petri. From the bus station we went by minibus for 20 rubles per person. We were dropped off at the bus stop and immediately we were caught by young people standing there with an offer to take us on an excursion to the top. We agreed and have no regrets. We went by minibus, quite good, comfortable, they tell everything perfectly and interestingly.
The price per person is 250 rubles, a child is 100 or 150, I don’t remember. We returned back by funicular. The price is also 250 rubles. There are three caves on Ai-Petri itself. Excursions for 150 rubles. You need to wear comfortable shoes and something warm, there are only 2 degrees. Ride a horse - 300 rubles. On a quad bike 1000 rubles. I advise there only what to cook on fire. We bought a natural white sheepskin for 1500 rubles, and got pillow sheep))) We are satisfied with our purchases.
Our next tour was around the Vorontsov Palace. They carry cars around the park for 300 rubles per person. In the palace itself - 270 rubles. All liked it!
Yalta. We went from the bus station by minibus. 45 rubles per person. There from the bus station went down to the embankment. We walked, took pictures, and decided to have lunch. We started with that beautiful wooden ship - either Mandarin or Orange. Gone. Soups for 500 rubles, but they didn’t even look further. As a result, we went to "Jalita". It's very nice and the service is great.
I recommend borscht! They have the most delicious, with huge pieces of veal! If you're around - take it! After lunch, we went and took boat tickets to return to our Alupka. The price is 300 rubles and it turned out that there is also a tour. Swim for 30-40 minutes.
The next trip was Sevastopol. We were advised by the driver, we phoned him and drove him. The car is good, big - Mercedes. Price - 450 rubles per hour. We met from 11 am to 7 pm, that is, for 3.600 rubles. On the way we stopped at Foros and climbed to the Church of the Ascension of Christ. The church is active. The territory and the view there - the removal of the brain! What views and air! The inside of the temple is very beautiful. Descending, we stopped at the Baydar gates. From there, the view is still the same! In Sevastopol, they got off in the very center. There they immediately approached us and offered a tour of the Sevastopol Bay, with a stop at warships. The tour lasts 40 minutes. They didn't regret it.
Very interesting and breathtaking)) Then our driver took us to Balaklava! Well, here you have to see))) Etty yachts and the city itself - 5 points. Then we went to the plant "Zolotaya Balka". There are some very tasty wines on tap. Stored only 4 days, as from natural products. We also took the Zolotaya Balka champagne itself, a whole box for a promotion at a price of 4 bottles - 6 bottles. The price of one bottle was 171 rubles, that is, they paid for six shares = 684 rubles! Very tasty pink
Now about Alupka herself. The center of Alupka is located above the bus station and far from the sea. If there is someone who will be populated, keep in mind. There is only one pharmacy, the second in the direction of Simeiz. Wake up near the pharmacy, pay attention to the opposite to the tent with Chebureks. What kind of pasties are there for 50 rubles and what kind of shawarma is there with a kebab cutlet for 80 rubles !!! ! The dough is rolled out in front of you, everyone is cut in front of you, so you have to wait. But it's worth it, because it's delicious!!!
Of the restaurants in the center, it is very tasty in Tratoria.
Order zander and strudel there. This is something!!!
We were also in Mare-Nero. This is if you want romance and a beautiful setting. Prices there are not high, do not be alarmed. Warm salad with grilled turkey - 250 rubles. Kebabs - 100 gr. for 150 rub. In the evening a young man plays the saxophone. Romance))))
With discos now in the Crimea. The law on silence began to operate after 23 hours. But in the center we found one, looked at the prices, the situation, but did not stay. In short, who really needs it - dancing until two in the morning there, the prices are not expensive.
We were very pleased with the rest))) Everything is set up there kindly, we did not meet any conflicts, discontent and rudeness. Beautiful, everything is calm, tasty and you can travel so much!! !
