Отдыхайте в Крыму ! Rest in Crimea!

We rested in Partenit at the end of July 2018. We stayed at the Breeze guest house. A good option for a relaxing holiday. It was a wonderful holiday, although of course everywhere has its own nuances. A little about them: When I was choosing a hotel, I looked at its location on the map - from the hotel to the city beach in a straight line of 250 m - just super ! ! However, upon arrival at the place, it turns out that if you go “in a straight line”, you can immediately jump into the sea as a “fish” from a cliff 70 m high. If you want to save your health, you need to go downhill through the bus station - about 1 km (down to the beach at we got it in 15 minutes, uphill - in 20 minutes (then we pumped up and reached for 15. ) Only there is a moment - when in the heat we reached the hotel - with stops in the shade - everyone came wet. hard to get up.
However, the same situation is with the clients of the Majestic Hotel, which is located almost next to the Breeze, although they have their own pools, but do not have their own real beach on the sea.
Pluses - you can’t hear music from beach cafes (although sometimes they sang karaoke in Majestic)

The guest house itself looks quite new and tidy. The rooms in the "Breeze" are the same in area, but different in configuration. Only 3 rooms face the sea. We arrived at night and were settled in a room overlooking the wall of a neighboring house, by the way the room was uncomfortable inside plus a noisy refrigerator. Fortunately, the next day I saw that in the room with the picturesque view of the sea and the Ayu-Dag Mountain that land people wanted, people had moved out and were doing the cleaning, and the owner graciously allowed me to change the room. The rooms have two wooden beds, mattresses are wide, but apparently cheap, because. springs are felt on the back and sleep is not so hot as it is comfortable. Although for yogis just right. Linen is changed on the 5th day. The first time there were short sheets that you can’t tuck under the mattress, by morning they were all wrinkled. In the second shift, I was lucky - the size was larger and did not wrinkle. The room has a kettle, cups, a refrigerator, a flat-screen TV that showed only one local channel in b/w color (but we were fine without TV! ), free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, in the bathroom there is a toilet, washbasin and shower . Iron provided upon request, ironing board in the room
The corridor ends with a door overlooking the sea, apparently a balcony was conceived there. But there is no balcony and the door is clear - closed. As a result, the corridor is almost always stuffy. The builders of the house do not provide for an exhaust ventilation system - as a result, it is very stuffy in the room even with the window open. Of course, if you turn on the air conditioner, the room cools down, but with it there is a risk of catching a cold. Therefore, they turned on for a short time. In the bathroom, when you turn on the light, the exhaust fan turns on. You turn off the light - it is cut down, as a result, it does not draw out moisture enough. We slept with the window open - that's what we came for - to breathe the magical Crimean air. The air in Crimea is wonderful!
The price tag of the hotel is quite moderate - for 11 days in July 2018, about 20.000 rubles came out for two with breakfast included. You can’t use the kitchen of the guest house, so at lunchtime we had a snack in the room, brewed porridge, drank local fermented baked milk and kefir. In the evening we already went to dinner in cafes, if we did not dine on excursions. Excursions are sold on the alley in the center of the village, they are quite expensive: to Bakhchisaray 1800 rubles / person, a boat trip to Gurzuf 800 rubles (it takes 30 minutes to go there)
We really liked the local "milk", cafes are moderately expensive, most often we went to "Home cooking" - tasty and not very expensive, but they serve kebabs quickly (15 minutes) - from this we concluded that most likely they are boiled the meat is fried.

The village is small, cozy, there are fewer people than in Yalta or Gurzuf, you can walk around the large territory of the Krym sanatorium, a one-time entrance is 100 rubles per person for the whole day (prepare your passport / driving license), there is also a beach with awnings, free toilets and showers. The peak of the resort-beach-park culture of Partenita is the Aivazovsky sanatorium, but for this pleasure in 2018 you have to pay 600 rubles per person. The fauna of the area is represented by many free-ranging cats and cats, seagulls that “laugh”, “meow” and make incomprehensible sounds, creaking cicadas. During our visit, we practically did not see flies and mosquitoes - this is a miracle, sitting in a cafe on the street on a summer evening and they don’t “eat” you !! ! If you go up the bypass road and turn left in front of the school, you can reach a fresh lake and a lavender field. Buses run to Yalta from 7 am every hour for 45 rubles, but the last bus from Yalta is at 7 pm. From the airport we went by taxi, which we ordered in advance - for 1500 rubles (the usual price tag is 1600-1800), we drove at night for about 1-1.5 hours, We went back to the airport from Partenit on a small Ford bus 228 rubles / person + 25 rubles for luggage. We got stuck in a traffic jam, in the rain, we drove through Simferopol - as a result, we arrived in 3 hours. The bus makes several trips a day (did not understand where to look for it at the airport). Tickets must be purchased in advance at the bus station.
