Beautiful country Koktebel.
I went to the Crimea for the first time. I will not talk about the crossing, nor about Kerch, because. there were no plans to stop in the port city. We drove through Feodosia right away, because. this city resembled an anthill. I wanted to rest, and not again push among people. The road to Koktebel was amazing, in terms of landscapes and nature. I haven't experienced such peace and quiet in a long time. A light serpentine brought us down past the vineyards straight to the gates of the Koktebel Country.
The village is very quiet and small. There is a market, shops and there are a lot of places where you can eat cheaply and tasty. I'll tell you right away about hotels and guest houses. There are many of them. For every taste and budget. Of course, as in any resort village, the distance from the sea affects the price. The sea is clean and quiet, and most importantly very warm. The village itself is located in the bay, thanks to it, it rarely stormed. Only three days for the entire holiday. Thanks to the mountains, there were no strong winds. Near the sea there is quite a worthy water park and a dolphinarium. People from other cities come here.
And people in Koktebel "hooked" me. The village, as I said, is small, all the people, as if in a big village, smile. This was a little embarrassing at first, but then she began to smile herself not only to the locals, but also to the newcomers. Having traveled all over the Crimea, and having visited Sudak, Alushta, Simferopol, Sevastopol, Yalta, I realized that you will not find better and more beautiful than Koktebel. Holidays in this little magical country will appeal to newlyweds, families and even with small children, just couples, pensioners. Why for these categories. Koktebel is attractive for young people with live music in cafes and bars on the waterfront, all kinds of discos, solitude on the beach. For families with children, this is certainly entertainment. A lot of playgrounds with various trampolines, competitions. For pensioners - walks along the promenade and a relaxing holiday in sun loungers on the evening beach. But entertainment in the evening is not everything. During the day on the beach there is also an endless variety: catamarans, inflatable bananas, jet skis, fishing on boats, just boat trips.
And now a few mercantile questions: sun loungers are paid. Since you have to take a pebble beach, although the pebbles are small, you can go without them - 150 rubles a day. Whereas in Feodosia 50 rubles per hour. Catamarans 350 rubles for 2 hours. Jet skis - 350 rubles 10 minutes. The average check in the dining room during the day with a full set of dishes is 200-250 rubles. It includes: first, second, salad and something for tea. The average bill in the evening at a bar (let's say beer, barbecue, salad, second) is on average from 1000 rubles. But the plus for this evening is to sit, don't want to, dance and enjoy live music) while the children are jumping nearby on the trampoline).
In general, only positive emotions remained from Koktebel, and even to return there again, It was to Koktebel, It was to the same people who during my vacation became my family. I want to once again plunge into the warm waves of the sea and lie on hot pebbles. Listen to live music while lounging on a sun lounger in the evening and sipping fragrant Crimean wine. Many thanks to the hotel "Andre" for the comfort and warmth. For smiles in the morning and kind words. We will come to you again, to this beautiful small and quiet country of Koktebel.
