Former mayor of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky:
I will say this: it is bad so far, but not harmful. Not harmful!
Alexander Danilov, driver:
Not harmful - subject to annual travel to the mainland. We, newcomers, were conceived, born and raised in a different climate, and at first we feel discomfort here. And having lived here, we even stay young longer. I come to my Buryatia - and everyone says how wonderful I look.
Ekaterina Vodyanaya, florist:
I lived in Minsk until I was 12. I had gorgeous hair. I came to Kamchatka, and my hair began to fall out, faded. And it is not harmful for my daughter to live here, this is her native land. But being on the mainland is a must.
Victor Hustik, orthopedist-traumatologist:
No! Kamchatka is the most useful place residence: the cleanest water, air, lack of technical enterprises. The influence of the huge ocean surrounding Kamchatka means a lot. I think this is the most clean place all over the planet.
Galina E., manager:
I was born a weak child, I was sick a lot. Happiness that Kamchatka saved me. Thanks to this air, honeysuckle, lingonberry!
Andrey, entrepreneur:
Harmful. We do not have enough vitamins, sun, we cannot go to the mainland. And we languish here.
Olya Perveeva, accountant:
It is harmful because we have a very low standard of living. No real fruit, little sun. There is no cultural recreation for young people.
Thiel, bass-guitarist of the Kamchatka rock group "Krem-soda":
Healthy. I was born here, so I can't feel bad here.
Expert comments
"People spoil the environment themselves"
Robert Savelievich Moiseev, Director of the Kamchatka Institute of Ecology and Nature Management FEB RAS (since 2002 - Director of the Kamchatka Branch of the Pacific Institute of Geography FEB RAS. - Ed. site):
In these answers, there is mainly a social criterion. Kamchatka is a fairly comfortable area to live in. People who are not tormented by any stresses or problems live very well here. Why is the deep Ryazan village better than Kamchatka? There, as well as here, you can live badly, but you can live fine. If someone's hair falls out here, teeth deteriorate, then the climatic factor has nothing to do with it. You need to eat good food. Need makes us buy cheap food. We think that our health suffers because we have to live in Kamchatka. And it's all about the same low-quality food.
As for the departure to the mainland, I will say this: someone goes there, and someone from there comes to Kamchatka to rest! And everyone who has been here is full of delight. I know a lot of people who moved to the mainland, but without living there for more than a year, they returned.
We are outraged by the local dirt. But people themselves do dirty tricks, and then they say that the ecology is bad. By the way, Kamchatka is one of the best ecological regions.
"The best place in Kamchatka is between Sokochi and Milkovo"
Oleg Anatolyevich Voitenko, healer:
In the Kamchatka forests and mountains, the air is ionized, healing. But the air in the city is thin, there are a lot of exhaust gases, gases from boiler pipes. Unfortunately, civilization chooses living space not where it is useful, but where it is convenient.
If we talk about the whole of Kamchatka, then it is most beneficial for health to live in the area from Sokochi to Milkovo. For example, townspeople with pulmonary diseases, moving to Sokochi (and further along the Milkovskaya highway), recover.
Petropavlovsk has three good energy zones: historical Center of the city, the area of the "75th site" (Solnechnaya street) and the quarter of the even side of Tushkanova street, with the center at school number 11. But the worst area for life in our city is "North-East". People living in the negative zone often get sick.
It is not so necessary to travel to the mainland every year. Frequent change of time zones, climatic zones, food is bad for the body. After all, a person needs at least three months to adapt!
Kamchatka is a peninsula located in the northeastern part of Russia. On the western side, the land is washed by the waters of the Sea of Okhotsk. In the east, it borders By the Pacific Ocean... The length of Kamchatka is 1,200 kilometers. The width of the peninsula reaches 450 km, the area is 370 km². Where Kamchatka is located, the Bering Sea has formed large bays, which cut the entire eastern coast.
Geography
The peninsula is connected with the mainland of Russia by an isthmus, the width of which does not exceed 100 km. The largest bays in the region are Avachinskaya, Ossora and Karaga. In places, rocky heaps protrude into the sea, which almost completely disappear on west coast... Kamchatka is located between Chukotka and the Kuriles. The unique location and relatively large length of the peninsula determine the variety of climatic and natural conditions.
In the place where Kamchatka is located, average annual temperature air is about 5 ° C lower than in neighboring regions. Cold sea currents affect the weather in these parts. Their impact is most pronounced in the summer. Powerful anticyclones bring lingering downpours to the peninsula, which provoke the formation of mudflows... Floods occur in late spring.
Landscape
The western end of the peninsula is located in the zone of the West Kamchatka lowland. The Sredinny ridge stretches in the center. The height of its peaks reaches 3,600 meters above sea level. Business card- volcanic complex Ichinskaya Sopka. It is surrounded by a flat plateau formed by lava masses. South part sushi is represented by flooded meadows. Alpine relief prevails in the north.
Flat stone ridges - distinctive feature Central Kamchatka lowland located in the east. These protrusions reach a height of 200 meters. In the south, the plain narrows to 5 kilometers wide, and in the north it reaches 80 km. The Kamchatka River flows along it, into which Bystraya and Elovka flow into. Volcanic formations are concentrated on the surface of the lowland. They belong to the Klyuchevskoy group.
Where Kamchatka is located, there is one of the highest volcanoes in the world. In the east, the lowland abuts against the ridge of the Eastern Ridge. Their peaks reach 2,485 meters above sea level. The eastern plateau occupies the land bounded by Cape Lopatka and Kamchatsky Bay. It contains volcanic cones. Some of them are valid.
Minerals
In the place where Kamchatka is located, coking and brown coal is mined. There are deposits of anthracite. Found gold-bearing veins, traces of silver. The lands of the peninsula hide deposits of mercury, native sulfur, polymetals. The local springs are rich in mineral and thermal waters. The composition of the former contains a high concentration of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The temperature of the latter reaches 100 ° C.
On the territory of volcanic activity, hot geysers gush, there are boiling lakes and mud springs. They are localized in the region of the Eastern Ridge. The region is also rich in building materials. More than six dozen deposits of pumice and slag have been registered. According to an expert assessment of the resources of non-ferrous metals, the peninsula contains about 1,295,000 tons of nickel, 3,000,000 cobalt, 31,000 copper.
Fishing
Where the Kamchatka Peninsula is located, the third largest nickel-bearing province is located. In 2013, oil and gas production began. A gas pipeline is under construction, the length of which is 387 kilometers. More than two dozen promising areas have been identified, where gold deposits have been discovered. There are residual platinum.
Water bodies
The most large river the region is considered Kamchatka, its length reaches 750 km. Ozernaya and Avacha are its tributaries. Almost all lakes were formed in the craters of extinct volcanoes. Kronotskoye and Kurilskoye occupy the bowls of the calderas. The total number of rivers is about 6,000. Almost all of them cannot boast of their length. Their length does not exceed 200 kilometers. Only seven rivers stretch for 300 km.
The nature of the Kamchatka rivers is restive and stormy. There are waterfalls and rapids on their channels. Some rivers are suitable for navigation, but only in places where estuaries are formed. In areas formed by volcanic masses, the flow of rivers is seasonal. Their channels are filled with water only during the snow melting period.
In the lowlands and floodplains, the lakes are gradually swamped and overgrown with reeds. The largest reservoirs are located where the volcanoes of Kamchatka are located. These are Dvukhyurtochnoye and Nachikinskoye lakes, which occupy the hollows of the hills. They were formed by moraines.
Flora and fauna
The climate of Kamchatka, which is characterized by short summers and long winters, has a direct impact on the diversity of the local flora... It is not rich, but includes endemic plant and fern species. In total, there are about 1,000 types of flowers on the territory of the peninsula. Forests occupy one third of the territory of the region.
Among the most common trees are birch, alder, spruce and poplar. Willow, larch, mountain ash, aspen and bird cherry grows. Shrubs are widely represented. In the forests and where the source of the Kamchatka River is located, you can find cranberries and blueberries, honeysuckle and lingonberries. The slopes of the mountains are covered with dwarf birch and alder. The height of the silkworm thickets exceeds two meters. The plateau is covered with vegetation typical of the tundra.
The peninsula is home to polar bears, moose, hares, rams, gophers and otters. The lands of the natural boundaries abound with foxes, arctic foxes, squirrels, wolves and lynxes. The coast is inhabited by bearded seals and sea lions. About half of the birds leave the peninsula on the eve of winter, some of the birds remain. The latter include partridges and crows, golden eagles and wood grouses, cuckoos and eagles.
Weather
In the area where Kamchatka is located, the climate is harsh. In the north of the peninsula, it is subarctic. Near the sea, it acquires the features of a temperate continental. The winter period lasts almost six months. At this time, there are heavy snowfalls, a stable high crust is formed. average temperature is -8 ° C. In the north, the thermometer drops below -12 ° C. In the north, the air cools down to -24 ° C.
Summer on the peninsula is short. Where the mountains of Kamchatka are located, it is rainy, night frosts are possible. The warmest month is July. Average temperature in western regions during this period is 12 ° C. In the south, the atmosphere warms up to 14 ° C, and in the east, the thermometer rises to 16 ° C. The precipitation rate does not exceed 700 millimeters per year.
Heavy rains bring cyclones. The maximum amount of moisture is found in the southern regions. In these parts, up to 1,200 millimeters per year fall out. The dry season starts on July 1 and lasts until September 20. In the mountains, the favorable period starts in mid-July and lasts until the last days of August.
Biosphere parks
Kronotsky Nature Reserve is one of the ten largest national parks in Russia. It covers an area of over 10,000 km². It is famous for the abundance of geysers that form a vast valley. They first learned about it in 1941, when the place where the Kamchatka Peninsula is located as close as possible to the mainland was visited by Tatyana Ustinova, a Soviet hydrologist.
Geysers stretch in a string, which is eight kilometers long. The number of large springs is 40. Even during the freezing frosts of January, the water temperature in the river basin does not drop below 19 ° C. Each geyser has a unique character. Volcano Uzon - a symbol of Kronotsky biosphere reserve... It is a huge volcanic basin. Its diameter is over nine kilometers.
The area of the plateau exceeds 150 km². At present natural world this place is in an active hydrothermal regime. Bacteria and algae develop in the warm waters of the springs. Their multicolored color borders the vents of hot springs spewing boiling water. About 1,000 thermal lakes are located in the volcano's caldera. One more natural monument national park- fir grove. It covers an area of over 22 hectares.
Wonders of nature
The grove is a scientific phenomenon that no one can explain today. The forest is surrounded by volcanoes, half of which are recognized as active. Here is the most deep lake peninsula. It is freshwater, its depth reaches 150 m. Rare species of animals live in the reserve. We are talking about the Pacific porpoise, sable, brown bear, black-capped marmot. There is a sea lion rookery in the reserve. Up to five hundred individuals visit it annually.
The Komandorsky reserve is located next to the Kronotsky nature reserve. the date of its formation is 1993. The area of the territory exceeds 3,600 hectares. It occupies the Commander Islands, which is home to twenty-five species of mammals.
I lived until the age of 25 in Vladivostok (Primorsky Territory). Many Vladivostok residents dream of moving either to St. cultural capital). The second part of the numerous Vladivostok residents are inclined towards Moscow (to build a career and all that). This option is more suitable for young people who have just graduated from university. And the third part of those wishing to move - to all other cities of Russia.
I fell into the category of those wishing to move to Moscow. I prepared for 1 year, then moved. She lived in Moscow for 3 years, but returned later. Yes, Moscow had its advantages in terms of fairly good career growth in a large international company that provided a lot, including training and internships abroad, once even for 1 month (just imagine: studying abroad lasts 1 month, while the employer pays accommodation and travel expenses for each day). Thanks to good education, plus additional education blocks.
The company also provided for quarterly bonuses in the form of expensive products, etc. But there was no time left for arranging a personal life, or for relaxing with friends, or even for a normal sleep. Constant lack of sleep, overwork in the name of career growth. The nervous psyche suffers a lot, you live in constant stress, everything ceases to please.
In Moscow, the MAIN GRAIN is lost - a normal measured way of life, kind and warm human relations, the opportunity to meet with friends. This is a city of people who are always sleep deprived, each of whom survives as best he can, lives in rented housing, spends about several hours on the way from home to work, etc. Cons I can list further, there are a LOT of them.
After returning to my Vladivostok, after sitting and thinking, I decided to move to the completely opposite side of Russia, to its very edge - to Kamchatka :) (moving extreme 🙂)
I've been living here for 4 years and I'm not going anywhere)). The city is 180 thousand people, but the people here are NORMAL, kind, open ... There are no problems with work. After all, you know that if a person's hands grow from the right place, he will find work everywhere. Even if they pay little for the main one, then you can always hurry up and find a part-time job. You have to fuss, living in any city (wherever it is), and then life will go smoothly.
Here is a very beautiful "virgin" nature, volcanoes stretch against the backdrop of the city. Very clean ecology !!! You probably have no idea, but it's a fact: you can drink water directly from the tap, you don't need to boil it. In our time, it is generally, something not real.
Not far from Petropavlovsk (about 40 km) there is Paratunka - a series of thermal healing well-equipped reservoirs, tourists from all over Russia come here year-round to recuperate. And residents of Kamchatka can afford it at least every day (taking into account that there are practically no "traffic jams" here).
Every year, at the end of autumn, there is a general holiday - Volcano Day, when a nationwide mass ascent to the nearest volcano (located at the foot of the city) takes place. In winter, the International Biathlon Championship is held, athletes from all over the world come, there is a special territory equipped by GAZPROM.
Almost every resident of Kamchatka has their own ski equipment. It is fashionable here to ski on weekends. There is a lot of snow!
The winter is very snowy, but what surprised me especially was that it was not cold. In Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and all Far East practically, in winter, and minus 30 and even minus 40 happens (specifically in Khabarovsk). And here, it seems, the Far North, and the winters are warmer (for me it was a discovery).
Especially, here is a "paradise" for hunters and fishermen. There are a lot of bears and fish. Actually, I myself saw the "walking" bears during a helicopter flight over the surroundings of the "Valley of Geysers", known throughout Russia.
In terms of summer in Kamchatka, yes, it is quite cool, on average during the day, no more than plus 20 in July. But people here are not far away poor, and even those who do not have a lot of financial resources - and they manage to fly mainly to Krasnodar in the summer or to Turkey and Thailand. Here and charter flights available at affordable prices ...
And the best part is that Kamchadals' vacation lasts 60 days, and not 30, like everyone else's, so they spend more time on the allotted and paid vacation. We draw conclusions, dear Russians 🙂
This is the Land, in which I found a lot of prospects for doing "my own business", since many "niches" are not occupied, and, accordingly, there is much less competition ....
People here live far from being poor and not poor (sometimes it even seems to me that they simply have nowhere to spend their money, they are not spoiled by variety and abundance, therefore they are simple, and are content with what they have).
Many Kamchadals have real estate abroad, and here they earn really good money. Another part of the population is mainly employed in the maritime industry, which is also far from poverty (if we also take into account the fact that most of the people come here to go to sea from different parts of Russia, so, purely "on a voyage" ... it would be like this bad, there was hardly such an abundance of people who wanted to make money here on sea fishing). The third part is contract servicemen (who do not feel very bad here).
In general, I am very happy! And I will not go anywhere else, but I will develop Kamchatka (which will be in my power to do and improve, I will improve). What do I advise you, dear readers: to ennoble and in every possible way support and improve everything that surrounds you in the place where you live.
Judge for yourself, the final choice of where to move, of course, remains with everyone individually ...)))
Kamchatka is a peninsula in the Far East, washed by two seas and the Pacific Ocean. In the Kamchatka Territory, the tenth largest region of the country, only 315 thousand people live, more than half are registered in the capital - Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Now the region, home to 300 volcanoes, a valley of geysers and several nature reserves, is becoming a popular tourist destination. Despite the expensive tickets (you can fly from Moscow to Kamchatka for at least 40 thousand rubles), for last years tourist flow has tripled. Kamchatka resident Mikhail Raspopin (@sergeevichh) told The Village about the prices and peculiarities of life in the region, where going to a cafe is more expensive than bathing in thermal springs.
low income
25 thousand rubles a month
average income
50 thousand rubles per month
high income
from 100 thousand rubles per month
Lodging
20-30 thousand rubles per month
Renting a two-room apartment costs 20-30 thousand rubles a month, depending on the quality and area. Basically, in the city, housing is rented and sold in the Khrushchev five-story buildings. An old three-room apartment in a house built in the 70s costs 3.5 million rubles. In the new quarters there are more or less high-quality housing, and it costs 85 thousand per square meter: an apartment without finishing will cost about 7.5 million rubles. There are also cottages and townhouses: the price of a townhouse with an area of 120 square meters is 10-13 million rubles, a cottage with an area of 200 square meters - from 20 million.
Transport
25 rubles per trip
Mostly foreign cars drive around the city, there are almost no domestic cars, there are only Kamaz and garbage trucks. But there are many Korean, Japanese and American cars. Probably, as many jeeps as we have, nowhere else, because in winter there is a lot of snow. City buses are multi-seat Daewoo, one trip costs 25 rubles, but I haven’t used them for many years. A taxi in the city costs an average of 300 rubles. You can rent a car from private traders - it will cost 5 thousand rubles a day, but taking a jeep and going out of town will cost more.
Food
20-30 thousand rubles per month
The average Kamchatka resident spends 60% of his earnings per month on food, since our products are expensive - they are mainly brought from the mainland by air or by sea. Bread is baked on the spot, it costs 50 rubles per loaf. Recently, a pig breeding complex was opened and they began to produce fresh meat, and earlier it was only frozen. Now the price of frozen meat is 350 rubles, fresh meat - 350-400 rubles. A chicken costs 250–300 rubles.
Our products are the same as elsewhere. But there are many types of red fish: sockeye salmon, coho salmon, chum salmon, chinook salmon, mykizha, pink salmon. In summer, you can buy fresh - at 800 rubles per kilogram. A very tasty white fish - blue-brown halibut - costs 1,000–1,200 rubles per kilogram. There is also a Kamchatka crab - 2 thousand rubles per kilogram.
Entertainment
250-5,000 rubles
There are restaurants, cinemas and cafes in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. A movie ticket costs 250–500 rubles, depending on the movie and the location. You can eat in a normal restaurant for 2-3 thousand for two, with a drink the bill can increase to 5 thousand rubles.
Restaurants are different, there is an Italian "Da Vinci", it is unrealistically expensive - you can leave 7 thousand. There are Japanese sushi restaurants, sashimi - our fish is fresh, therefore Japanese cuisine is widespread. There is also a lot of Chinese food, but it is not the same as in China. There are pubs, for example, the Harat`s franchise, where a glass of beer costs 500 rubles, which is twice as expensive as in Vladivostok. There are pizzerias with good pizza from 300-400 rubles.
We have a wide choice of excursions and travels. You can fly to the base in the mountains, take snowmobiles and ride them. It costs 100-110 thousand rubles per person per week. You can come in the summer and rent motorcycles and ATVs. The townspeople just go to the thermal springs, they are located 40 minutes from the city. The ticket will cost 250-300 rubles if you go by your own car.
Purchases
A lot of Chinese consumer goods are sold in the city, but everything is expensive. I try not to buy anything in Kamchatka, I bring things from my trips. Recently I dressed here: simple jeans - 5 thousand rubles, good - up to 15 thousand, a sweater - 3 thousand. Branded items are unrealistically expensive, so I buy them online - it comes out cheaper.
Many people prefer to spend their holidays abroad or in the south of Russia. But there are places in the north and east of the country that amaze with amazing views. For example, few people know how beautiful and interesting the cities of Kamchatka are. In summer, you can spend your vacation without leaving the bounds of your vast homeland. Kamchatka is a wonderful place for lovers beautiful views and clean air.
The cities and towns of Kamchatka are unique and amazing. They give you the opportunity to enjoy the stunning scenery from the comfort of your home.
Features of Kamchatka
This is a unique peninsula, it is also called the land of volcanoes and bears. Only here you can look up close at an active volcano, swim in a hot spring, walk on frozen lava. Magnificent views of the mountains and the bay, beautiful landscapes - all this attracts tourists.
If you decide on a boat trip, you can see various inhabitants of the depths of the sea, bird colonies, visit Starichkov Island, where many birds from the group of waterfowl nest:
- kittiwake;
- red-faced cormorant and bering;
- Pacific seagull;
- Pacific Guillemot and Spectacled Guillemot;
- guillemot is thin and thick-billed;
- an ordinary old man;
- spatula;
- hatchet.
Petropavlovsk city
Kamchatka has been recently developed, and the first settlement here was the town in the Avachinskaya Bay, founded in the 18th century. Now it has become the capital of Kamchatka. The city appeared during the Second Kamchatka Expedition led by Bering and Chirikov. It ran from 1733 to 1743. The city became Petropavlovsk by the name of the first two ships that visited the bay. And from the beginning of the 20th century, it was named Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
Today this city is considered the most important port in the Far East. Every day countless ships, boats and boats pass through it. Many of them offer tourists to go on a tour of the bay. Here open magnificent views to the surrounding volcanoes.
In the city itself, you can see interesting sights:
- a monument to Bering, the founder of the city;
- memorial complex in honor of the defense of the city in 1854;
- Kamchatka State United Museum;
- Scientific Museum of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology;
- unique salmon museum.
City Keys
Kamchatka is a land where there are no large settlements... Therefore, the village of Klyuchi with a population of about 5 thousand inhabitants is called a city. It is located near the mouth of the Krutenkaya River, at the foot of the Klyuchevskaya Sopka. The village of Klyuchi was founded in the place where the large Cossack prison Nizhnekamchatsk was located. In 1731 it was burnt down due to a riot, which was raised by the Kamchadals.
Today in this village a station for the study of volcanoes is based, which operates under the leadership of the Institute of Volcanology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The city has a regular bus service with Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. There is an airfield here, but it is used exclusively for aircraft transporting goods. In times Soviet Union passenger aviation also worked. The Kura missile test site is located not far from the village. It is based on the swamps on the Kamchatka River and has been operating since 1955.
Yelizovo city
It is here that the famous monument with bears and the inscription: "Russia begins here" is located. Elizovo is considered the most important city of Kamchatka in terms of transport interchanges, especially for air vehicles. Despite its importance, the residents of Kamchatka consider this city a transfer point on the way from Petropavlovsk to the main beauties of the peninsula, which are located in remote villages and towns. The lack of popularity among tourists is due to the fact that there are practically no attractions in the city. The only thing that distinguishes Yelizovo from a typical Kamchatka city is the incredible volcanoes that can be seen on the horizon.
Due to the fact that the city is considered an intermediate point, in it and its surroundings you can find many tourist centers, hotels, hotels and hostels, which are always ready to receive a large number of tourists. Comfort in them on high level, therefore, both travelers from Russia and Europeans or Japanese who often visit this area will be satisfied.
The city of Vilyuchinsk
Few people manage to visit this city, because it is a closed settlement. Therefore, the only way to get to know the city is through photographs. Well, those who have visited this and other cities of Kamchatka, which are intended for military personnel, will be pleased to remember these places.
Vilyuchinsk consists of three districts, which are divided among themselves:
- Primorsky is the largest, this is the so-called sleeping area.
- Herring is an area where submarine docks are located.
- Rybachy is the area where the submarines themselves are based.
The city got its name from the volcano. It is interesting that the Vilyuchinsky volcano is located very far away. Staying within the city limits, you can only see a small summit of this giant.
Villages of Kamchatka
Going to small settlements, you can see much more beauty of this region than in the city. That is why it makes sense to visit the largest villages of the Kamchatka Territory. The first on the list is the Vulkanny settlement. It is located in the Elizovsky district. The nearest town of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is only 42 km away. Geographically, it is located between the capital of the region and the city of Vilyuchinsk. The settlement was founded in 1955 and served as a military town. At that time it was called Mirny. From 1992 to 1999, the village was closed for the entry of outsiders, but now everyone can get there.
The village of Ossora was founded in the pre-war period, in 1937. He is administrative center Koryak District. The name of this village comes from the Koryak language and in translation means "house of pink salmon", i.e. the area in which this fish spawns. Ossora is located in the northeastern part of the peninsula on the shores of the Karaginsky Bay. It stretches for 3 km along the coast, and to the west of it is Lake Ossorskoye. The settlement is interesting because alluvial gold deposits were found in nearby rivers.
Palana is another village in the Koryansky District. It is located on west bank Kamchatka, and the Sea of Okhotsk is only 7 km away. You will have to drive 940 km from Petropavlovsk, and about 200 km to the nearest settlement (Tigil village).
The Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kamchatka River itself are mesmerizing with its beauty. It is difficult to say which city or village should be chosen for tourist purposes. Usually routes cover several settlements, which makes it possible to get to know Kamchatka completely.
