Luxury hotels in Crimea. Prices 2019

Luxury is a flexible concept. Many hotels claim to be luxury, have corresponding prices, but.... frankly speaking, they fall short. I looked through several hundred different hotels in Crimea, and only found about 5-6 that were REALLY high-class. They stand out from their competitors like a pine tree in the middle of a field. . They are individual and unique like a painting by an artist. They are exclusive. These are the options I placed in the first block of proposals. And the second group included simply cool hotels. It’s impossible to say about them that they are downright unique - but everything there is really great and beautiful and they are more than worth the money. Since there is not so much housing of a really high level, I did not break it down by region, but give it as a general list.

The most upscale accommodation options

Crimea can offer hotels for those who are accustomed to comfort and service and do not like to save on themselves. These are exclusive hotels for VIPs, and high-level hotels for self-confident representatives of the middle class. Holidays in Crimea, expensive both in price and in spirit, are a pleasure for wealthy people.

How else to save money on vacation in Crimea

1. It is more profitable to pay for lunch and dinner separately; accommodation and meals will cost more. The most economical option is to cook your own food.

3. Holidays at the height of the summer season (from mid-July to mid-August) will cost more.


4. Excursion tours are not cheap, so it is better to think over your own route and get to the place of interest on your own.


5. On excursions, it is better to take a taxi; you can also find a travel companion by sharing part of the fare with him.


6. Order a taxi by phone; a ride in one caught on the street will cost almost twice as much.

8. Don't make rash purchases. Tourists often buy a lot of useless trinkets and an incredible amount of souvenirs, which leads to high costs and does not allow for an inexpensive holiday in Crimea.

The Crimean Peninsula is a beautiful corner of nature, which today is a real resort pearl. Thanks to the subtropical climate relax in Crimea possible from May to October.

The peninsula is literally replete with corners that promise an amazing holiday. Neither connoisseurs of silence and solitude, nor extreme sports enthusiasts, nor young people, nor children, nor older people will get bored here. However, when going on vacation, it’s a good idea to know where it’s best to stay in Crimea.

For lovers of expensive hotels and the highest service, hotels in the southern part of the peninsula are most suitable - Alupka, Foros, Yalta, Simeiz. True, the sea will not always please you here. Firstly, even at the height of summer, the water in it does not warm up enough. Secondly, there will be no comfortable conditions for relaxation there, because... the sea is very deep. But all this is compensated by magnificent views and wonderful nature.

The most comfortable weather in Crimea lasts for about a month: from mid-June to mid-July. The sky will be clear, the sea will be clear, the temperature will be pleasant.

It is useful for people with respiratory diseases to come to the peninsula in the spring.

Crimea is a great place for fishing lovers. The geographical location and warm climate provide all the necessary conditions for year-round sea, freshwater and underwater fishing. Thanks to the picturesque landscapes and rich marine fauna, the Crimean peninsula has become a favorite place for both professional fishermen and ordinary amateurs.

Sea fishing in Crimea

The calling card of Crimea is, of course, sea fishing. Thanks to its favorable geographical location and mild climate, fishing can be done here all year round. However, for fishing to be successful, you need to know when, where and what kind of fish to catch.

For example, in the Black and Azov Seas, in addition to the rich local fauna, you can find “vagrant” guests who migrate to spawn during the changing seasons. Such transit inhabitants include the Black Sea herring, which is found off the coast of the Caucasus. She goes to spawn through the Kerch Strait into the Sea of ​​Azov, and returns to the Black Sea for the winter. That is why the ideal time to catch Black Sea herring is in October. Sturgeon and tuna fish species, bonito and mackerel also enter the Crimean seas.

But, let’s say, horse mackerel is a permanent resident of the Black Sea and can be caught all year round. True, the fishing season is in spring and autumn, when the water is still warm - then the fish goes into the depths of the sea. Local inhabitants of the Black Sea waters also include sawfish, mullet, bluefish, sea bass, sea burbot, flounder and ruffe. You can catch them from late spring to mid-autumn.

Sea fishing on the Crimean peninsula can be divided into 3 main areas: the Black Sea, the Sea of ​​Azov and Sivash. Each of these areas has its own fishing characteristics. Thus, on the Black Sea coast near the Kerch Peninsula, they mainly catch horse mackerel, pilengas, mullet and flounder. The southern coast of Crimea is popular among those who like to go fishing in the open sea. The Balaklava area is considered the most “fishy” place - sea bass, redfish, sea fox and horse mackerel are found here in abundance. From the shore you can catch greenfish, ruffe and other small fish.

On the western coast of Crimea, in the area of ​​Cape Tarkhankut, fishermen will find a richer catch: horse mackerel, mullet, goby, kalkan, as well as crabs, mussels and rapana. In this area you can also hunt for Black Sea shark if you go by boat into open waters.

Fishermen go to Sivash mainly for gobies. Since it is found at great depths, it can only be caught from a boat. In addition to goby, in this area you can also catch glossy flounder, which is distinguished by delicious meat, shellfish and shrimp.

The Sea of ​​Azov is of interest both for fishing from the shore and in the open sea. The main prey in these waters will be sprat, goby, flounder, sawfish, mullet and pike perch.

Freshwater fishing in Crimea

There are also many freshwater reservoirs in Crimea, which contain fish for every taste. Freshwater fishing can be divided into several zones: rivers, lakes, reservoirs and paid reservoirs. The main freshwater inhabitants of the Crimean peninsula are carp, carp, roach, bream, crucian carp, pike and pike perch.

For exciting lake fishing, tourists can go to the Baydar Valley, where they mainly catch perch and carp. For pike, it is best to go to the artificial lake located near Mount Gasfort. The area here is very beautiful, so in addition to good fishing, you can thoroughly enjoy the picturesque Crimean landscapes.

In addition, you can go fishing in a not entirely freshwater lake called Sasyk, which is located between Saki and Yevpatoria. This is a large salt lake, but in its desalinated northern part there is a lot of fish: carp, grass carp, crucian carp, mullet, perch.

Fishing in the mountain rivers of Crimea is not so easy, so mostly experienced fishermen go for river fishing. However, the effort expended pays off in spades - here you can catch delicious river trout. However, to catch it you must first obtain a special permit. The most successful places for river fishing include the banks of Belbek, Kachi and Chernaya.

Paid fishing is especially popular among visiting tourists. Firstly, there is always fish in paid reservoirs. Secondly, all the necessary fishing equipment can be rented. Thirdly, in such fishing villages comfortable conditions have been created not only for wonderful fishing, but also for relaxation in the lap of nature: the presence of a landscaped area with gazebos, bathhouses and barbecues. The most famous paid reservoirs on the territory of the Crimean peninsula are Lake Kyzyl-Yar and a reservoir in the village of Uvarovo. In these places, for relatively little money you can catch a lot of crucian carp, carp, perch, sawfish, pike perch, crucian carp, silver carp and grass carp.

Underwater fishing in Crimea

Underwater fishing in Crimea is very popular among both the local population and visiting tourists. The bays of Cape Tarkhankut are considered one of the best places for underwater fishing. A distinctive feature of this place is the cleanest transparent water (visibility up to 10 meters deep) and an abundance of reefs, which create ideal conditions for spearfishing. As for the fauna living here, the most common species are mullet, mullet and saran. Of no less interest to underwater fishing enthusiasts are the flounder and stingray that live in local waters.

The sights of Crimea are one of the main reasons for its popularity among tourists. These are not only historical and cultural monuments, but also numerous modern infrastructure facilities.

Vacationers in Yalta, Alushta, Gaspra and Foros enjoy excursions to the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, get acquainted with the beautiful Crimean palaces, and also travel to the top of Ai-Petri, the Chatyr-Dag plateau, to the bizarre Demerdzhi rocks and to the Grand Canyon of Crimea.

Housing in the private sector of Crimea

You can rent housing in Crimea in any part of the peninsula. Compared to large hotels, boarding houses and sanatoriums, the private sector in Crimea offers a larger selection of options and affordable prices. Private owners always react flexibly to changes in demand, annually carry out the necessary repairs and try to ensure that their housing meets the modern requirements of vacationers.

During the summer season, Crimeans are happy to rent out rooms and separate houses to tourists, which have everything necessary for a comfortable stay - comfortable furniture, refrigerators, air conditioners, TVs and Internet access.

Their owners are always ready to offer their guests an inexpensive transfer from the Simferopol airport and assistance in organizing excursions.

Crimean housing prices in the private sector in 2019 differ slightly from the previous tourist season. On the South Coast, housing is traditionally more expensive, but in other resort areas you can find quite budget options. To make rent inexpensive, you need to rent housing without intermediaries, and also book it at least 3 months before the trip. Economy class housing is usually rented in small resort villages and not on the first line from the sea.
