What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
One of the most important tourist activities in Sevastopol and, in our opinion, an obligatory excursion for guests of the city is a boat trip along the Sevastopol bays. And we are not talking about excursions to beautiful bays to natural attractions and beaches near Balaklava and Cape Fiolent, but about a walk along the bays in the center. These are, first of all, Sevastopol, Yuzhnaya and Artillery bays, although there are also extended excursions with visits to more bays. But for the first acquaintance and general understanding, the simplest option for the three listed bays is enough.
The programs of all walking tours are about the same, they differ only slightly in the route depending on the starting point. Take a look from the sea at Monument to the submerged ships and the embankment, swim next to Mikhailovskaya and/or Visit the Konstantinovskaya battery, inspect powerful warships and huge cargo ships, floating platforms, dock complex and countless piers up close. But the most important thing is that all this is accompanied by an interesting story of the guide. Of course, speaking objectively, not all guides tell fascinating and interesting stories, but the success of your walk in the water area will depend, first of all, on your mood. So if something is suddenly unclear, do not be afraid to ask questions, they will be happy to tell you everything. Well, don't forget to take a selfie on board at the helm with the "captain" on your head.
🕐 Working hours
excursions depart during daylight hours often when recruiting a group immediately on the spot, it is not necessary to book in advance.
💵Entrance fee / ticket price
a walk lasting 40-60 minutes costs 600 rubles for adults, 400 rubles for children. If you are going to a group or a family, then it is quite possible to get a discount during the auction. For example, we (the authors of the site) managed to get poisoned for a walk 2 + 2 for 1700 rubles instead of the original 2000 rubles.
🚶 How to get there
boat trips along the bays start from the piers in the center, most often this is Grafskaya pier (marina on the map) or marina in Artbukhta (marina on the map). But you will not need to search for the sending points yourself. It is enough to come to the embankment, as you are immediately bombarded with offers to join the barkers and distributors, you can safely buy from them, the prices are the same as when buying on board.
