Tourist information about the village of Kacha in the Crimea

Kacha - urban-type settlement, part of the City District of Sevastopol. Located 23 kilometers from Sevastopol, and 80 from the main airport of Crimea-Simferopol airport (Kacha on the map of Crimea. The permanent population of Kachi is just over five thousand people. Naturally, in the warm season, and you can swim here in the sea in May, the number of inhabitants of the village increases several times.

The village got its name because of the river of the same name, which flows into the Black Sea four kilometers south of its location. Until 1912, a small farm Alexandro-Mikhailovka was located in this place, which was renamed Kacha and began to develop rapidly, thanks to the construction in the vicinity of one of the first flight schools in the country, where military officers were trained for Tsarist Russia, and then for the Red Army. The educational institution in the vicinity existed until 1941, when it was decided to evacuate it, due to the danger of occupation of the peninsula by Nazi troops.

Nevertheless, the good location of the village, pleasant climatic conditions and proximity to one of the largest cities of the Crimea, made Kacha attractive for a large number of tourists.

Rest in the village of Kacha

In Kacha there is no bustle of big cities and large resorts, so this is a good place for a family holiday with young children.

Naturally, the vast majority of guests of Kachi come here with one goal — to spend as much of their time as possible on the beach, periodically swimming in the sea. Nevertheless, the village has everything you need for other entertainment, albeit in smaller sizes than those offered by the larger resorts of the peninsula. :

• Small landscaped promenade
• Many cozy cafes and restaurants
• Water and conventional attractions

Of course, in the evening, Discos are organized on the territories of recreation centers and local hotels.

Beaches of Kacha village

The beaches here are mostly mixed: pebbles on the shore, sand begins under water. But in the local beaches there is one feature that may not appeal to every tourist. The village and the entire area around it is almost 30 meters above sea level, and this is the height of a 9-storey building. And if in the center the descent to the beach is still relatively gentle, and does not cause much trouble, except for the need to work a little with your feet, then immediately outside the village, sharp cliffs 20-30 meters high hang over the beaches.

The Central Beach area has a unique development for most domestic resorts-housing for vacationers is very close to the water's edge. In some places, it is enough to walk only five or six steps to the water. On the one hand, it is convenient, but on the other hand, it is the main disadvantage of the resort. The fact is that the entire beach area of the village is limited in latitude (in the center by structures, in the North and South by rocky cliffs). That is, with a large crowd of people who want to sunbathe, finding a free place on the beach becomes problematic, and at high tide the water in general in some places reaches the embankment, and there is simply nowhere to sit on the beach.

Nevertheless, the beach area of Kachi has one very important plus - a variety of opportunities:

• The southern part is the village beach, from which it is very easy to get to the village itself, to its shops, market and other infrastructure facilities
• The central part allows you to simultaneously relax and live on the beach. Here is the greatest concentration of cafes and restaurants, attractions, souvenir shops, other entertainment. Along the complex "Our Sail" stretches a well-equipped promenade.
• The northern part is a wild beach. An ideal place to set up tents, but do not forget about the cliff.

Accommodation options in the village itself are enough, as many rent their houses and apartments, earning in the holiday season.

The following options are available in the Central Beach area:

• Complex of comfortable apartments "Our Sail". Located on the beach, has its own promenade.
