The most favorable weather for relaxation - Climate of Feodosia

The steppe turns into mountains, and the mountains into plains, then into the sea. There is a successful combination of natural phenomena here.

Winter is usually warm and mild. But due to the lashing winds, sometimes there is a significant drop in temperature for the south: down to minus 15 degrees.

Summer brings a lot of sunny days a year. Sometimes the Crimean heat gives the air temperature + 35 degrees. However, most of the summer season is dominated by comfortable, pleasant temperatures up to + 30:

• Average temperature in January-February: -1 - +2 degrees;
• Average temperature in July-August: +25 – +28 degrees;
• Average water temperature in summer: + 23 degrees

The swimming season starts in June and ends at the end of September. Already in September the sea can begin to “cool” to + 19 degrees. It depends on the prevailing winds in the region.

The most beautiful places in Feodosia!
This city can rightfully be considered the pearl of the Crimean peninsula. Feodosia is a unique monument of Russian history and architecture with museums, monasteries, fountains, and friendly locals. A resort with a long history, golden beaches and various hospitals. In a short period of vacation it is difficult to cover all the diversity of the Black Sea paradise, but it seems that I managed to do this by visiting the main attractions of Feodosia.

Resort sanatoriums

Today, the resort of Feodosia has more than 60 sanatoriums , holiday homes and boarding houses , both for adults and children. The peculiarities of the local climate and natural sources of mineral waters and silt mud are widely used in the treatment of patients in these institutions.

Treatment areas: respiratory diseases, circulatory system diseases, digestive system diseases, nervous disorders, biliary tract diseases, kidney diseases, kidney diseases, metabolic disorders, body cleansing programs.
