Holidays in Ordzhonikidze

The main advantage that attracts a separate category of vacationers in Ordzhonikidze is the lack of transit transport in the village, since it is located in a dead end of the highway. There are no ports or large industrial facilities near it (however, there is talk of reviving production at the closed military Torpedo Factory). The village is quiet and calm, with clean air. Locals say that here is the cleanest sea water on the Crimean coast. This is a great place for a relaxing holiday with your family, but for young active tourists it will be clearly boring because of the small amount of entertainment and still poorly developed tourist infrastructure. Nevertheless, fans of beach holidays and extreme entertainment, lovers of spearfishing and sea fishing, and, of course, lovers of natural recreation in nature - nudists who like to relax in secluded bays in the vicinity of the village, come to Ordzhonikidze with pleasure. Another advantage of recreation in the village is lower prices than in the much more popular neighboring Feodosia and Koktebel.
