The Evpatoria resort in Crimea is a famous balneological hospital, where thousands of tourists come annually not only from Russia, but also from abroad. And for good reason: the quality of holidays here is not inferior to many European resorts, and the prices are several times cheaper.
The infrastructure of Yevpatoria is very convenient for tourists: all the entertainment here is in one place - restaurants, bars, karaoke, discos and billiard clubs. The city is rich in attractions - after all, its history goes back 25 centuries.
Russians, whose childhood and youth passed during the Soviet period, know that Evpatoria is a real children's paradise: many children's sanatoriums and health camps still operate here. And in our article we will look at the most comfortable holiday in Evpatoria - hotels with all-inclusive meals, so as not to waste precious vacation time looking for good cafes. And with children, an all-inclusive holiday is perhaps the only comfortable option for a holiday at sea.
Embankments and places for walking in Evpatoria
Where to go for a walk with your child? In Evpatoria, the obvious answer to this question will be the Embankment, which is traditionally the center of resort life in all coastal cities. There are two embankments in the city, they are named after prominent people - the first female cosmonaut Tereshkova and the proletarian writer Maxim Gorky. Living up to its reputation as a children's resort, both boardwalks contain facilities and activities that are interesting for children.
Embankment named after Gorky
- Address: Gorky embankment.
The length of the walking area is a continuation of Gorky Street. Historical architecture has been preserved here - buildings of the 19th-20th centuries, which were once mansions and dachas of wealthy people, and now they house resort and infrastructure facilities, social and cultural institutions.
For the city's anniversary, in 2003, the embankment was reconstructed, as a result of which various sculptures, rotundas, and art objects were installed here, many of them related to the themes and style of ancient Greece. One of the most famous monuments of the embankment is the resting Hercules, sitting imposingly in the arch that forms one of the exits to the beach; the “Boy with a Weight” and a huge shell also attract attention.
On Gorky Embankment there are attractions and play areas for children, prize shooting ranges of various formats, and photographers with exotic animals. Older kids can rent vehicles - roller skates or bicycles, or ride in the skate park. Near the embankment there are city attractions and entertainment facilities.
General Tips
- For very young children, purchase an inflatable pool, the water in it will be warmer, and the child will spend more time swimming.
- If you don't have a car, feel free to rent bicycles. Child seats are provided for them. Evpatoria is a compact city, you will discover a lot even in a couple of hours of riding. It is convenient to get to remote beaches by bicycle. We picked it up at a point on the street. Duvanovskaya (next to the pump room).
- If you live in the private sector, ask about the prices for procedures in a sanatorium nearby; you might be able to get a massage, mud therapy, or drink an oxygen cocktail. Inexpensive cocktails, by the way, can be obtained at the Red Cross office (13 November str., 22): a large glass - 40 rubles, a small glass - 20 rubles.
- In Crimea, everything is for sale; there is no need to carry a pack of Japanese diapers with you.
- If you need to consult a doctor, there are two children's clinics in Evpatoria. The search engine only returns on the street. Nekrasova, 85. Perhaps a new branch on the street. Dmitry Ulyanov, 1A will be closer. There are also fewer queues here.
- If an important point of your planned trip is self-medication on Lake Moinaki, know that the miraculous lake is “not the same anymore.” The water is desalinated by coastal and bottom sources; the centuries-old mud baths, once famous far beyond the borders of the USSR, are closed. In sanatoriums and health institutions of Evpatoria they use imported Saki mud and rappa. But the lake itself is still picturesque, and the air is saturated with salts and minerals.
Attractions of Evpatoria for children
You can combine a walk with your child, cultural and active recreation by visiting parks with attractions and entertainment. In Evpatoria there are a number of objects that fall into this category.
Park named after Frunze
- Address: st. Frunze/st. Gorky.
Frunze Street is considered one of the main resort promenades of Evpatoria, replete with facilities suitable for entertainment and recreation for children. In its lower part, near the coast, is the Central Park of Culture and Recreation of the same name. The park traces its history back to the time of Alexander I.
The improvement and development of the park as a cultural and entertainment venue began in Soviet times; the first simple attractions appeared here in the middle of the last century. The park took on a look close to its modern one in the first years of the new century.
Nowadays it is a modern area for walking and active recreation; there are sports grounds for adults and youth and playgrounds for children. The “king of cultural parks” – the Ferris wheel – remains popular at all times. Children will also be delighted by other attractions, the choice of which is quite extensive: carousels “boats”, a train for kids, swings, shooting galleries and other popular children's entertainment.
Glade of Fairy Tales, or “Town of Fairy Tales”
- Address: Frunze Park.
The “Glade of Fairy Tales” located on the territory of Frunze Park deserves special attention, standing out among the oldest children's facilities both in the territory of a particular park attraction and in the entire city of Evpatoria.
The heroes of the fairy tales of the classic of Russian literature Alexander Pushkin “settled” in the Evpatoria park in the form of wooden sculptures back in 1939. The first reconstruction of the clearing took place in the 50s; it was replenished with new characters - heroes of folklore and classic fairy tales.
It acquired its modern appearance in 2012, the place has retained a special fairy-tale mysterious atmosphere, it is interesting to walk and take photographs here. The clearing will remain in the child’s memory. The modern era has given rise to one significant disadvantage - the entrance to the town of fairy tales, renewed in the new century, has become paid.
Arboretum
- Address: st. Frunze/st. Kirov.
The name “Arboretum” suggests the natural orientation of the object and familiarity with the plant world. However, in Evpatoria this is not just some kind of analogue of a botanical garden, with various varieties of plants, but something more, combining recreational, educational and entertainment components.
In addition to 300 different types of plants, greenhouses and walking alleys, there is an amusement park in the center of Evpatoria on the territory of the “natural oasis”, which makes this attraction even more attractive for family tourists.
The park has several types of swings and carousels for children of different ages, including “classic” boats and “daisies”, trains, a prize shooting range; for future drivers who want to ride cars, there is a “car town” that accepts visitors from 3 years old
The Arboretum was founded as a nature and walking area in 1936, when active planting began, carried out with the participation of employees of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden.
Avangard Amusement Park
- Address: ave. Lenina, 29V.
In the neighborhood of the Arboretum, surrounded by Frunze, Lenin and Pushkin streets, there are many facilities suitable for organizing children's leisure. Since 2022, the Avangard Park has been operating on this territory, the newly created pride of Evpatoria, confirming its glory as a children's resort.
The park includes entertainment museums (Museum of Color and Sweets, UFO Museum) and many attractions and areas for active recreation. Children will love the Giant's House and the Upside Down House, daredevils can ride a roller coaster, and adventure seekers can go through the Laser Maze.
The "Crazy Polyp" here refers to a type of carousel known as the "Octopus". Little children have a place to climb and jump - trampolines, catapults, climbing frames await fidgets. For those who want to drive, there is an autodrome and karting. The park is actively developing, taking care of the leisure of younger generation tourists and their parents.
People
After ten in the evening the city falls asleep, except for the noisy party areas of Frunze Street and Solaris Beach. Almost all restaurants and cafes are closing, the embankments are empty.
Evpatoria is a family resort, there are many young guests here, children easily make friends on the beach or on the playground, and quickly acquire company and new friends.
Attitudes towards visitors are different: those who work with tourists dream of “extracting” more money, the rest of the Evpatorians are very responsive and hospitable.
Walking past the fire station, our kids stuck to the fence, looking at the cars. A fireman saw them, invited us inside and gave the children a real tour. Just like that, because the children and because he had time.
Beaches and estuaries of Evpatoria for families with children
Evpatoria is suitable for those tourists who prefer sandy beaches. The fact that the coast here is almost exclusively covered with sand adds points to the city as a children's resort. A distinctive feature and “trick” of Evpatoria are considered to be estuaries - salty healing lakes, largely thanks to which the city has gained fame as a children's health resort.
Central Beach
- Address: Frunze street, 1.
A narrow coastal strip 2 kilometers long is the longest and most popular beach in Evpatoria, called the central one. It is perfect for bathing children due to its gently sloping entrance to the water; the section of the beach near the Frunze Park is said to be the most comfortable for small children.
At the same time, this part of the beach is the most crowded. By going here, you can combine beach relaxation and active entertainment. Attractions suitable for children of different ages are presented on the beach in an assortment.
Moinak Lake
- Coordinates on the map: 45.184238, 33.326500.
The most famous of the Evpatoria estuaries, which is often included in the program of tourists with children. The estuary is shallow with healing mud, and the opportunity to “dig in the mud” will definitely not leave children indifferent.
True, you won’t be able to frolic in the estuary for a long time. Due to the nature of the local water, you can only enter it for a few minutes. In any case, a visit to such an unusual salt lake as Moinaki will definitely leave a lot of impressions on the child.

Solaris Beach
- Address: emb. them. Tereshkova.
A small beach with coarse sand in the western part of the Tereshkova embankment has a very serious name, evoking associations with Lem and Tarkovsky among intelligent audiences. The popular name of the beach - Konsky - is due to the fact that cavalry barracks were once located here.
Beautifully decorated with flower beds, the cozy and comfortable Solaris beach is considered the most suitable for children and is considered one of the best in Evpatoria. For children there are water attractions, slides and a trampoline; on the beach there are shopping stalls selling fruits and a favorite children's treat - ice cream.
Super Aqua Beach
- Address: st. Alley of Friendship, 3, urban-type settlement Zaozernoye.
In the estuary area there is a Super Aqua beach, clean and with developed infrastructure, and therefore, despite the distance from the central part of the city, many tourists choose it. Children here can ride a banana boat and other water rides; kids will enjoy playing on the sand by the water.
Oasis Beach
- Address: Simferopolskaya street, 99A.
Among the beaches with paid entrance, tourists are often recommended “Oasis”, which belongs to the hotel of the same name; it is located next to “Solaris” in the embankment area. A private beach has its advantages - it is looked after, cleaned, and therefore it is pleasant and safe to relax here. The beach has everything necessary for a comfortable stay on the sea coast - food outlets, beach paraphernalia, entertainment.

Active entertainment in Evpatoria for children
Children have varied interests - some love active recreation, some adventure, others quiet games. Evpatoria has a variety of entertainment facilities designed for children of all ages.
Aqualand "At Lukomorye"
- Address: st. Kirova, 35.
At the sea resorts of Crimea, in addition to swimming in open water and beach attractions for children, adults and youth, the list of favorite water activities traditionally includes water parks.
Opened in 2013, the water entertainment center, whose name refers to Pushkin’s famous poem, is positioned as “Aqualand”. It is located in the heart of the resort area, in Frunze Park. In accordance with the concept, many attractions here are named after fairy-tale and folklore heroes: “The Serpent Gorynych”, “The Swan Princess”, “Baba Yaga Rules”, etc.
The slides, attractions and water park facilities are aimed at different age groups; both extreme sports enthusiasts and tourists who love a relaxing holiday will find entertainment for themselves, but in general the water park is considered interesting for children and teenagers.
There is a separate area for children – a water playground. Ticket categories are differentiated not by age, but by height: those who are taller than 130 cm are admitted as “adults.”
Don't miss: Water parks of Crimea
Rope park
- Address: square named after. Lenin.
In the area of Lake Moinak, among the tall trees of Lenin Square, a Rope Park has been organized. Surprisingly, the appearance of this attraction went virtually unnoticed by residents of Evpatoria and vacationers. Only in 2016 did they begin to pay attention to it, and now the park has become one of the popular and visited places for active recreation.
Suspended trails are accessible and safe for children. Boys and girls, dressed in appropriate equipment, enthusiastically overcome obstacles. One of the trails is for adults only. The rope park also includes a climbing wall. Interesting events are regularly held here, attracting both locals and tourists.
Trampoline
- Address: st. Demysheva, 112.
Trampolines - one of the favorite entertainments of children - are presented in Evpatoria in entertainment areas, on beaches, in parks and play centers, but the only specialized establishment is one opened in 2017 - a place of active recreation for the whole family.
Sports training and individual lessons are held here. Children can jump, have fun and play in dry pools and foam pits with colorful cubes.
Entertaining
- Address: st. Frunze, 4.
This is a gaming center and a children's cafe under one roof, the children will find slot machines: trains, cars, rockets, air hockey and table football, a two-level labyrinth, etc. Visitors are entertained by animators, entertainment programs and parties for children are held.
Lost World Park
- Address: st. Mayakovsky, 2.
The interest of many children in the prehistoric era of dinosaurs is satisfied by parks called “The Lost World”, which can be found in many cities of Russia. The Crimean ones belong to the “Dinosaurs of Crimea” network; one of the objects operates in Yevpatoria.
The ancient lizards are made here in life-size and animated, they can move and make sounds, which creates a real effect of immersion in the Jurassic period and delights the children.
In total, there are 16 figures of dinosaurs of various species from different eras: protoceratops, tyrannosaurus, stegosaurus and many others. Children's attention is also attracted by the so-called “dino sandbox” or “paleo-zone”, where you can play paleontologist.
RK "Dinopark"
- Address: st. Belinsky, 3V.
In the indoor entertainment complex on Belinskogo Street, a dinosaur exhibition coexists with a variety of activities suitable for the whole family - bowling, slides and attractions for the little ones, a rope park for daredevils, two children's cafes, and for those who like to give free rein to their imagination, there is a creativity studio .

How to get there
Airplane
The only passenger airport operating today in Crimea is in Simferopol. From Moscow the flight time is 2.5 hours. In April, prices for the 2022 season are as follows: in May and September you can fly from 3 thousand rubles (without luggage, only hand luggage), tickets in June, July, August - from 5.6 thousand. It is better to buy in advance, because... the cost rises inexorably as the season approaches.
There are three ways to get from Simferopol airport to Evpatoria:
- Regular bus (travel time is about 1.5 hours, a ticket in 2018 cost 200-250 rubles).
- Taxi (1000-2500 rubles, ride no more than an hour).
- Transfer from home owners (price negotiable, usually 1,500 rubles).
I flew with my children from St. Petersburg. Tickets were purchased late - a month before departure. An adult plus two children came out to around 30,000 rubles. For one piece of luggage we paid 3500, for choosing a seat on the plane – 300 rubles/ticket. Upon arrival, at the Simferopol airport itself, I ordered a taxi with a seat and booster seat. Cost 1800.
Train
In December 2022, ticket sales for direct trains to Crimea will open. But while the railway bridge to the peninsula has not been built, only a combined method is available: to Krasnodar or Anapa under the sound of wheels, then 10-18 hours by bus. Travel time Moscow-Evpatoria: 1.5-2 days. The total cost of the trip is equal to the flight. The option may be beneficial if there are benefits on the railway, or if you are afraid of flying.
Detailed analysis of the trip by train and bus to Evpatoria
Automobile
The distance from the capital to the resort is about 2000 km. Without delays or stops, you can get there in a day. You should definitely choose toll roads: bypass roads are in poor condition. You also need to be prepared that in the summer you will most likely have to sit in traffic jams near Losevo and Feodosia.
Zoos and dolphinariums of Evpatoria
Animals, birds, fish - all this is very interesting for a child. Various objects, one way or another related to the demonstration of representatives of the animal world - underwater and land, which can be visited in Evpatoria - are presented in this category.
Evpatoria Dolphinarium
- Address: Kyiv st., 19/20.
Cute and funny inhabitants of the sea, dolphins, give performances in Evpatoria near the Frunze Park, in the coastal zone, in a building specially built for the Dolphinarium in 2012. The history of the institution itself began much earlier, in 1996.
The Dolphinarium is a favorite place for tourists with children and a “mandatory item” in the children’s recreation program. Among the “artists”, in addition to the Black Sea bottlenose dolphins, there are fur seals and sea lions, as well as a white whale.
On topic: Dolphinariums of Crimea
Evpatoria Aquarium
- Address: st. Gorky, 5A/1.
Excursions to the underwater world are offered by the Evpatoria Aquarium. The entrance to the back is interestingly decorated with panels depicting octopuses; this decor creates the feeling of a “portal” to the underwater world. The exhibition is conventionally divided into three sectors dedicated to three types of marine life.
Tropic Park
- Address: st. Tokareva, 43.
An interesting non-trivial alternative to a traditional zoo is located on Tokarev Street in a fancifully decorated pavilion in the shape of a dragon. The collection of fauna representatives in the Tropic Park of Evpatoria includes 150 species, most of them are exotic.
Here the children will meet animals, birds and reptiles from different regions of the world - Africa, South America, Australia. Some of the local inhabitants will be a wonder even for world-experienced adult tourists, but they will definitely delight young inquisitive naturalists.
Crocodile farm
- Address: st. Popovicha, 3.
The closest relative of the extinct dinosaurs, which children are introduced to at two entertainment venues in Evpatoria, are considered to be crocodiles. The oldest living reptiles inhabit the farm at Avangard Park. It operates on the principle of a “petting zoo”, while ensuring the proper level of safety for young visitors.
The farm is famous for its diversity of species; natives from different countries of Africa and Latin America are represented here. An extreme spectacular reptile show, which is considered a “feature” of crocodile farms, is regularly held here.
Food
Shops and markets
We mostly cooked ourselves. There were “Pud” and “Furshet” nearby, we went to “Furshet” - it was bigger, neater and without queues. But the main thing for us at Furshet was its bakery: the pastries and bread are amazing, fresh, hot. True, you need to come for them early: after lunch there is practically nothing left.
Fruits and vegetables were purchased at the market. The prices there are the same as in the store, but you can find “homemade” cucumbers, tomatoes, peaches, etc.
Prices in 2022:
- Tomatoes – from 80 rub.
- Cucumbers – from 60 rub.
- Peaches – from 65 rub.
- Watermelons – from 15 rubles.
- Churchkhela – from 80 rub. On the market
- Mullet – from 130 rub. in "Fresh"
All sellers pass off imported goods as Crimean ones. They even say this about raspberries and blueberries. Look for products that definitely grow here. They will be tasty, juicy, rich.
Best cafes
Coffee house "Kezlev Kavesi" and restaurant "Dzheval"
Near the gates of the old town of Gezlev (exact address: Karaeva, 13A) there are two establishments in the traditional Crimean Tatar style.
The coffee shop brews 15 varieties of coffee, including Kezlev coffee, a large selection of Crimean tea and oriental desserts. Restaurant "Dzheval" is one of the best representatives of Crimean Tatar cuisine on the peninsula. Everyone here praises the atmosphere, like a corner of another world, the menu, and the service.
From the coffee shop menu 2022:
- Coffee Kezlev Kavesi - 120 rubles;
- Tea - 250 rubles per teapot;
- Dzhevezli kobete - 80 rubles.
Cafe "Karaman"
Another iconic place in Yevpatoria, authentic Karaite cuisine. There is always a queue here, and at the entrance to the cafe there are even special benches for those waiting for a table.
“Karaman” is located in the courtyard right behind the wall of the Karaimsky kenas, the exact address is: Karaimskaya st., 68.
Karaites are an ethnic group, there are about 2000 of them in the world. But they managed to preserve their customs, religion, cuisine, even language. The interior is very simple, as if you had set a table on a friend’s patio, and the food also matches this: whatever you choose, everything will be delicious like home.
What to try:
- Chir-chir (Karaite pasties: with meat, cheese, vegetables) – 80 rubles;
- Hamur-doma (tiny dumplings with broth) – 180 rubles;
- Buza (millet kvass) – 150 rubles. per liter jug.
Anna Akhmatova's Literary Cafe
It’s easy to find: next to the dancing fountain on Theater Square. You need to cross the road and turn into a quiet street with tram rails (no cars drive here), you will immediately see tables. Exact address: Anna Akhmatova passage 21/16.
The atmosphere is in the spirit of the Silver Age. In the evenings there is live music: saxophone, piano and cello, etc. A table for dinner must be reserved in advance.
We came in the afternoon for desserts. We sat down on the summer terrace, enjoyed cakes and looked at the Evpatoria trams passing a couple of meters away.
The choice of desserts is large, you can try a new one every day, they are all fresh, served in a restaurant style. Children are provided with coloring books and games, and there is a small playroom outside.
Prices from menu 2022:
- Coffee - 90-150 rubles;
- Tea — 175 rub. for a teapot;
- Cakes - 55-130 rub./100g.
Eating on the waterfront
Along all the embankments there are numerous canteens, cafes, restaurants, pizzerias, kebab shops, waffles, sushi, shawarma, and pie shops. There is a constant rotation of personnel, and all recommendations regarding cuisine or service quickly lose their validity. But there are common features of the establishments on the embankment that we noticed:
- Most of what is listed on the hefty menu is not actually there. Ask what you can choose from.
- There is a lot of mayonnaise, and it is absolutely everywhere. If you don’t want to eat it, order dishes that definitely won’t contain it, for example, grilled vegetables or compote.
- Bank cards are not accepted everywhere, please check this immediately.
- In the evening, all restaurants sing (mostly chanson), so you won’t be able to sit in silence here.
- They may replace a dish or ingredients in it without your knowledge.
We ordered mullet with vegetables at the Ukrainian restaurant “Budmo” (stunning view of the sea), I don’t even know what kind of fish we got instead.
Where to take your child in Evpatoria
frolicking in the sea and on playgrounds, jumping, climbing, playing - this is all very important for a child in Evpatoria. However, children's recreation, as a rule, also includes an educational and cultural component.
Tram of Desires
- Address: Revolution Street.
The tram is a once popular form of transport, but today it is no longer widely used and is not used to transport passengers in many cities. Therefore, it arouses interest among children who are attracted to everything unusual.
In addition, a tram runs around Yevpatoria, which it calls “magical”; it will take tourists to interesting places in the city and allow them to “move through time” in the range of 2.5 thousand years - this is the age of Yevpatoria.
“Tram of Desires” is both an exciting attraction and a non-trivial excursion that allows you to gain new knowledge in an interesting way - just what tourists with children need.
Topic: The best excursions in Crimea
Park "Crimea in miniature"
- Address: st. Frunze, 8V.
Having arrived in just one Crimean city, you can learn a lot about the peninsula and see it “in full view.” This opportunity will be provided by the Crimea in Miniature sculpture park. The region is quite large and, being in Evpatoria, it is difficult to get to the iconic attractions concentrated on the South Bank or in the Kerch region. This route is not feasible for a tourist with a small child. “Crimea in Miniature” will allow you to take a virtual trip.
Museum "Pirates of the Black Sea"
- Address: st. Revolutions, 56.
Who didn't play pirates as a child? The private museum of the city of Evpatoria - Pirates of the Black Sea - immerses young inquisitive tourists in the atmosphere of a pirate ship. The exhibition is dedicated to the history of navigation, shipbuilding and piracy in the Crimean region.
Many interesting exhibits, stylized halls and the “game format” of the museum, the opportunity to dress up in a costume and “plunge” into the pirate reality - all this will give the child a lot of impressions, and the visit will be perceived as an exciting adventure.
Theater "Golden Key"
- Address: st. Barteneva, 1.
The Evpatoria Youth Theater is called the “Golden Key”. In 1987, it was created by Nina and Oleg Permyakov, graduates of a theater school from Orel. In this theater, performances are performed by children and for children; the troupe includes only young actors. Moreover, the line between artist and spectator is sometimes almost erased, because master classes on acting are held at the theater.
“Golden Key” is popular both among city residents and vacationers. Children's theater in every sense of the word offers performances for very young and older children, there are even relatively “adult” teenage performances. The repertoire is varied: it includes both classics and original performances.
Among the most popular performances are based on Alexander Volkov’s book “The Wizard of the Emerald City”, the fairy tale “Thumbelina”, and the production “Evpatoria, I Love You” dedicated to his hometown.
Clown House
- Address: st. Barteneva, 3.
Clowns make children laugh and entertain; an entire museum is dedicated to this popular circus character in Yevpatoria, which has been operating since 2011 as an interactive platform for fun and development.
“The Clown House” is a kind of hybrid of a “museum” and a “children’s club.” A visit here is not boring looking at exhibits, but an exciting game, communicating with “live clowns,” master classes, themed events and parties. The club-museum is located next to the Golden Key theater.
Because of its estuaries, Evpatoria is sometimes equated to “balneological” resorts and is considered a “health resort” of the Black Sea coast. For tourists with children, Evpatoria was and remains the most obvious choice of all Crimean resorts. In the current era of great competition in the tourism sector, the city not only has not lost, but has also strengthened its leadership as a children's resort of the Black Sea.

Climate of Feodosia
In the place where the city is located, the steppe zone, the outskirts of the Crimean Mountains and the Black Sea basin simultaneously appointed each other. This interesting combination was reflected in the climate of these places - a mixture of subtropical and steppe. Arid, moderately hot, with mild winters. It is hot here in summer, the dry period can last until November, the average annual precipitation is low - 495 mm, but it is easy to breathe.
There are also advantages - the number of hours of solar radiation is 3% ahead of Yalta. The sun shines 2320 hours a year for residents and guests of Feodosia. The average temperature in summer is 25-26 degrees. The average sea water temperature in summer is 24-25 degrees; in July-August it can warm up to 27 degrees. The sea delights swimmers with warm water about 114 days a year - from May to October.

Beaches of Feodosia
You won’t be bored with the beaches of Feodosia: you can practically compare several options at once and choose the one that suits you. Feodosia beaches differ in their structure.
There are sandy shores, sandy-shell shores, pebbles (where would we be without them), and rocky shores. Pebble and sand beaches are mainly concentrated in the central part of the city coast.
But for sandy pleasures you will have to tramp or take a minibus to the periphery or even out of town. It is worth remembering that there is a railway right next to the beaches along the main embankment. True, trains run there now (fortunately or not) very rarely.
