From a tourist point of view, Simferopol is important, first of all, as the main gateway to the peninsula, since Simferopol International Airport, railway and bus stations are located here. Most of the movement by bus between the major cities and resorts of the Crimea occurs through Simferopol.
Tourists rarely consider Simferopol as a place to relax, because there is no sea and beaches. However, there are many attractions, mostly cultural: museums, galleries, theaters. There are also several significant historical sites, temples, the historic Old Town. In general, interesting places in Simferopol and its environs will be enough for 3-4 days of stay, although all the most basic things can be seen in one full day.

Zaozerne (Zaozerne) - a village on the western coast of Crimea on the Black Sea coast, 6 kilometers from Yevpatoria and 80 kilometers from Simferopol and the airport (Zaozernoye on the map of Crimea. The village is small, the population is just over four thousand people, and is often perceived by tourists simply as a suburb of Yevpatoria. It has a not very developed tourist infrastructure and popularity among tourists as a place for a relaxing beach holiday.
It is distinguished by good long sandy beaches and a very quiet and peaceful environment. There are no attractions and very little entertainment, there is no walking area and promenade. In the evenings there is nothing to do, but there are many sanatoriums and boarding houses, including children's, so the resort is suitable for families, or for pensioners. There are no industries in the village, the population is small, and therefore it is believed that the water here is clean, and in general the ecological situation is satisfactory.

Popovka and Mirny - two small settlements on the western coast of Crimea, 30 kilometers from Yevpatoria (Popovka and Mirny on the map of Crimea). They are located across the street from each other, so they are usually considered as one resort.
Until 2013, the world-famous electronic music festival "Kazantip" was held on Popovka beach, and today they go to Popovka and Mirny for a quiet beach holiday. This is a great place for a relaxing holiday with family and children, for the elderly. For the young and energetic there is no entertainment, as, however, they are not for children.
The beach in Popovka is an example of an almost perfect sandy beach on the Black Sea. According to some tourists, this is generally the best beach in the Crimea. It is very wide here, in other places it reaches 100 meters, and very long, stretches for tens of kilometers. The sand is fine, white-gray, mixed with broken shells, but the water is still clean, without a cloudy suspension. The depth is small, so the beach is ideal for small children.
The weak point of Mirny and Popovka is not a developed infrastructure, a small amount of entertainment and a complete lack of attractions. Prices in markets, shops and cafes are inflated, while the quality of food is low. There are no attractions in Popovka and Mirny, but excursions are sold throughout the Crimea.
Entertainment here is limited to the conditional water park "Aphrodite", rental of bicycles, ATVs, children's trampolines. On the beach you can ride a traditional "banana" or "pill". In the evening, you can sit in a cafe or walk along the conditional tourist street Syrnikov in Mirny, along which there are excursions, inflatable children's attractions, fruit trays and tents with souvenirs and goods for tourists.

Stormy (Shtormovoe) - a village on the western coast of Crimea, 30 kilometers from Yevpatoria, a popular beach resort (Storm on the map of Crimea. Those who prefer sandy beaches and a calm, almost rustic environment go here for a quiet beach holiday. After all, the beach in Shtormovoe stretches for many tens of kilometers. The depth is small, you can go from the shore into the water for almost 100 meters. The water is very clear. There is also a children's sandy beach on the shore of the salty oibur Lake. And next to the storm there are two lakes with therapeutic mud, and you can use them completely free of charge.
But do not think that Shtormovoe is a village without any infrastructure. In fact, everything you need for an unassuming beach holiday is here, just peace and quiet in the village is preserved due to privacy and remoteness from the main road leading to Yevpatoria.
Of the minuses of the storm, almost complete absence of vegetation can be distinguished. And the cleanliness of the beach and water depends on the weather, and although most of the time it is clean, it happens that because of the wind and storms, algae washes ashore, which lie on the sand for a long time, because no one removes them. Great inconvenience is caused by constantly blowing wind, sometimes very strong. Sometimes very large jellyfish appear, but they are not poisonous.
Entertainment in the storm is not very much, mainly children's and beach entertainment. There are no attractions except for the only one – the Museum "marine curiosities".

Gurzuf - a small urban-type settlement on the Black Sea coast on the southern coast of Crimea, 12 kilometers from Yalta, belongs to greater Yalta (Gurzuf on the map of Crimea. It is one of the most famous Crimean resorts, primarily because of the world-famous International Children's Center "Artek". But Gurzuf is visited not only by children.
The main thing for which most tourists go to Gurzuf is clean air, saturated with coniferous aroma, and many small pebble beaches. The atmosphere of the tourist area of the village is different from most resorts of the Crimea, and some tourists are called romantic and even compared with Europe. Indeed, narrow cobbled streets and almost European architecture, many shops and cafes in the labyrinths create a completely different mood, especially during evening walks. Along the beach there is a pedestrian street and a promenade, where it is very pleasant to walk in the evenings.
There are no sandy beaches in Gurzuf, only pebbles. There are no shallow beaches for the youngest children, and basically the depth begins immediately, and after 3-5 meters the water already reaches the chest. The beaches are equipped with everything necessary for recreation: there are changing rooms, toilets (for a fee), rental of sun loungers and umbrellas. Many traditional beach activities are offered. What is bad, the entire coast of the village is divided into short and narrow pebble beaches by breakwaters, rocks and cliffs. Almost all of them belong to some sanatorium, hotel or boarding house. The north-eastern part of the village is almost entirely occupied by children's camps, and accordingly access to them is limited.
The infrastructure in the village is well developed, including tourist. There is even a pedestrian tourist area along the waterfront. There are few attractions here, but you can buy excursions to other places in the Crimea. There is almost no children's entertainment here.

Partenit (Partenit) - an urban-type settlement on the southern coast of Crimea, roughly midway between Alushta and Yalta, is part of Greater Alushta (Parthenite on the map of Crimea).
Partenit is a fairly well-known place among tourists, and there are several decent large sanatoriums, including the departmental sanatorium "Crimea" of the Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation. From other resorts, it is distinguished by comfort and cleanliness, beautiful views, as well as high prices. But it is worth frankly saying that for independent tourists this is not the most successful place. First of all, this is due to the inaccessibility of local beaches. There are few of them here, and only two of them are available for everyone to visit, and far from the best. You can get to the rest of the beaches, but they have the status of medical, and you will have to issue passes for an additional fee. Another disadvantage is the lack of an embankment for evening walks, so in the evenings you can either walk around the center of the town around the bus station, or sit in one of the cafes. What is still inconvenient, especially for people of age-the resort is on a slope, the terrain is mountainous.
There are very few attractions in Partenit: Aivazovsky Park, Ayu-Dag mountain (Bear Mountain) and the Stone Museum, Dolphinarium. Infrastructure for tourists is available, but everything is very modest. In the center of the village, which was formed around the final bus station, there are shops and a market, cafes and restaurants, excursions are sold. There are only a few hotels, but immediately upon arrival at the bus station, housing is offered for rent. Of the entertainment, only the Dolphinarium and Aivazovsky park can be mentioned.

Feodosiya - a small town on the southeastern coast of the Crimean Peninsula, washed by the waters of the Feodosia Bay Of The Black Sea, a popular and developed tourist resort (Feodosia on the map of Crimea).
This is one of the few beach resorts on the southern coast of Crimea with a sandy beach. True, sand on the shore is not everywhere: in the very center of the city there is a pebble City Beach, further from the center to the South pebbles are interspersed with Sandy, but really long sandy beaches with golden sand begin outside the city, and stretch for 10 kilometers along the coast to the villages of Beregovoye and Primorsky.

Attractions in Feodosia are also not a few. It will take more than one day to see interesting places, including museums, historical sights, monuments. The two main attractions of Feodosia-the Aivazovsky Museum and the ancient Genoese fortress Kaffa are often decisive for tourists when choosing Feodosia as the main holiday destination in the Crimea.

Beregovoye - a small village in Crimea on the Black Sea coast, 6 kilometers from the popular resort of Feodosia (Beregovoye on the map of Crimea).
Beregovoe owes its popularity among tourists to a very long sandy beach. It is also called The "Golden Beach". It is really good here, especially in contrast with the concrete and pebble beaches of the southern coast of Crimea. The sandy strip almost continuously stretches for ten kilometers from the outskirts of Feodosia through Beregovoye to the village of Primorsky, and Beregovoye is located just in the middle of this beach. These are just ideal conditions for those who like long walks on the warm sand along the coast. The beach strip here is not only long, but also wide, there is enough space for beach sports games. There are sun loungers and parasols in places, several cafes and kebabs along the coastline, and at least one cafe right on the beach. The sand is coarse, with shards of shell fragments. The entrance to the water is gentle, the water is warm.
Unfortunately, not everything in Beregovoye is so idealistic. Close along the entire beach stretches the road; there is little greenery, the scenery is not impressive. The village itself is touristically poorly developed, there are few hotels, although there is everything you need for rest.
From entertainment there is a dolphinarium "Nemo" and a children's amusement park. Also in the high season (July-September) on the beaches water Entertainment is offered: "banana", jet skis, parachutes, etc.but still for an interesting pastime and evening walks it is better to go to the center of Feodosia.

Primorsky - an urban-type settlement in Crimea on the Black Sea coast, 14 kilometers from Feodosia (Primorsky on the map of Crimea. Primorsky is a popular tourist destination due to a well-developed tourist infrastructure and sandy beaches.
From Feodosia to Primorsky stretches a continuous strip of sandy beach with a length of almost ten kilometers, and ends here. In the village, in its very center, there is even its own embankment. But, unfortunately, the beaches here are difficult to call ideal: everything is spoiled by the dilapidated embankment itself with concrete breakwaters, protruding rusty fittings, huge stone and concrete boulders in the water and on the shore. And the purity of the water here is not on top. However, it is worth walking a little further, in the direction of Feodosia and Beregovoye, as a continuous strip of beaches with warm clear water and smooth depth begins.
The infrastructure in the village is well developed, but there are no hotels. There are banks, supermarket PUD (former ATB), cafes, restaurants, and even nightclubs. Tourist and nightlife revolves around the waterfront, where there are several bars and nightclubs, although all this works only in the high season – July and August. If you come here even in June or September, the situation may seem very boring and there will simply be nothing to do here. There are no attractions in Primorsky.

Sunny Valley is the birthplace of the famous brand of medicinal wine "black doctor".
This place is considered an ecologically clean territory of the Crimea, touristically poorly developed and little popular. The biggest advantage of the resort is its sparseness, because there are few tourists here even at the height of the season. Parvda werewolf side of this, almost complete lack of infrastructure, entertainment, attractions, excursions. Therefore, go on vacation here mainly those who are willing to endure inconvenience in return for peace and quiet. Most of the tourists here are independent tourists with tents and road travelers, accustomed to spartan conditions. You can, of course, stay in one of the few private mini-hotels in the village or with private traders, but in this case you will find yourself in a real village wilderness, and even away from the beach. But having reconciled with the almost complete lack of amenities and infrastructure, vacationers will get beautiful landscapes, a magnificent long sandy and Pebble Beach, Clean Air and clear water.

Sudak - a city on the Black Sea coast in the south-east of the Crimean Peninsula (Sudak on the map of Crimea. The city beach of Sudak is not very pleasing to the eye: it is all divided into sections by terrible concrete breakwaters (buns), rusty twisted fences and other metal structures. There are only a few well-equipped and pleasant-looking stretches of beaches, but in high season they are so crowded that you need to come early in the morning to take a place.

In addition to the main beach, the wild exits to the sea in robber, crab and Turtle Bay are popular for privacy. Separately, it is worth mentioning the famous Royal Beach: the place is incredibly beautiful and forbidden, but, nevertheless, crowded.
Many guests are attracted to the village by the sights of the Noviy Svet: The Golitsyn trail (when walking along it, tourists get acquainted with several attractions at once, such as the Chaliapin grotto, Cape Kapchik, through grotto, etc.), two Golitsyn Estates and the Champagne and wine factory "Novy Svet".
The tourism industry in the Noviy Svet is just emerging. There are no large hotel complexes and shopping and entertainment centers.

Veseloe can hardly be called a full-fledged resort. It is rather a place where you can come to relax for a day from Sudak, as there are deserted beaches. As a place for a long rest, it is suitable only for real "Robinsons" with tents and a car, since there is almost no infrastructure and amenities in the beach area.
The Black Sea and the beach are located four kilometers from the center of the village. An asphalt road leads to the coast from the village, which then branches off and turns into a dirt road along the beaches. To the right is a beautiful, partially landscaped Pebble-sand beach with gray sand, about two kilometers long. The least pebbles are on the left (with Noviy Svet moans and Sudak), while the other side has more pebbles. But even where the coast is completely Sandy, a couple of meters from the water, the bottom is still covered with pebbles.
There is no embankment, a dirt road runs along the entire coast, separated from the beach by a wooden fence. The water is clean, transparent, because large ships do not enter the Kutlak (Veselovskaya) Bay. To the east of the Bay hang the Spurs of the mountain known as Karaul-Oba, or Sentry peak. On the west side, the Bay is bounded by Cape AI-Foka. Vacationers on the beach are very few even in the highest season.
In summer, a bus runs from the village to the beach, but only one per day. In general, without your own transport, rest here will not be very comfortable.

In high season, the sea turns into a real beach resort, filled with tourists and some entertainment. Even young people here will not be bored: there are traditional entertainment on the beaches, restaurants and cafes, discos. But the most important thing in the Sea is its many kilometers of Sandy and Pebble Beach and clear water.
Another advantage of recreation in the sea-very low housing prices. For example, a room for two with air conditioning even at the height of the season can be found from 800 rubles.
The beach consists of small or large pebbles mixed with gray sand, not wide and long. It stretches continuously for as much as five kilometers. Sand lies mainly a few meters from the water's edge, and the entrance to the water and the bottom are covered with pebbles, which is very convenient. The descent into the water is gentle, comfortable. There are traditional water activities such as banana rides, jet ski and catamaran rentals, etc.
There is another category of vacationers seeking to get here-these are road travelers, because outside the village there are several convenient exits to the beach, and there is a spontaneous tent camp there all season.

Alushta - a city on the southern coast of Crimea, fifty kilometers from Simferopol (Alushta on the map of Crimea. It is one of the most developed beach resorts in Crimea.
Rest in Alushta beach and entertainment. Of course, you can call the beaches good here with a big stretch, but thanks to the presence of the sea, the embankment, well-developed infrastructure and entertainment for tourists, this place has earned the love of vacationers.
Beaches in Alushta are mostly pebbly, and not the most beautiful in the region. In the center of the city we can say that there are no beaches at all, they are so unsuitable for comfortable swimming. Along the entire coast there is a concrete embankment, the beach is divided into sections of fifty meters by concrete breakwaters, a small part of which is permanently closed, or belongs to sanatoriums and children's camps. The water is mostly clean, at least more transparent than in Yalta. Beaches are cleaned of garbage. There is a whole range of water activities from banana rides to motor boat rentals. What is really bad here is the lack of beautiful views, and some beaches are just unpleasant to look at because of the leaning concrete blocks and protruding rusty fittings.
The infrastructure here is well developed, especially in the center. There is public transport (trolleybuses and buses), many taxis. There are no large shopping centers here, but everything you need can be bought in small shops and shops, or in supermarkets. Supermarket prices are cheaper. There will be no problems with food: there are both expensive restaurants and budget canteens for the whole family. Along the beaches there is a developed promenade with cafes, restaurants, excursions, etc.

Nizhnogorsk - a village on the southern coast of Crimea at the mouth of the Ulu-Uzen river, 24 kilometers from Alushta and about 60 kilometers from Simferopol (Nizhnogorsk on the map of Crimea). Is part of Greater Alushta.
Nizhnogorsk is a great resort for a relaxing family vacation. In addition to a long and free Pebble Beach, a quiet environment, here you can find a well-developed minimum tourist infrastructure necessary for recreation. In Nizhnogorsk there are no noisy parties and tipsy young people walking late, with the advent of darkness the village falls asleep.
Nightlife is completely absent, as, indeed, other entertainment. There is not even a promenade for evening walks along the sea. Unfortunately, there is no children's entertainment at all, and this is perhaps a significant minus for those who come here to relax with their family. But you can take a bus to Alushta or go on foot to the neighboring village of Malorechenskoye, where there is an embankment and some entertainment.
The beach in Solnechnogorskoe is long, almost one and a half kilometers. The beach is mixed, mostly small pebbles, with gray sand. There are no breakwaters, the coastal strip is not interrupted by fences and buildings. The southern part of the beach (towards Alushta) was loved by nudists. Although the P29 highway passes through the entire village almost close to the sea, the beach is separated from the road by a number of shops and cafes, and in the southern part of the village is a residential area, so traffic does not interfere with beach holidays at all. There are no amenities and entertainment on the beach, so stock up on a beach umbrella and bedding before traveling to Sonnogorskoye. In which case they can be purchased at local stores.

Selo Rybachie located on the southeastern coast of Crimea on the road connecting Alushta and Sudak (Rybachye on the map of Crimea Administratively belongs to Alushta and is part of Greater Alushta.
Currently, Rybachye is considered one of the most environmentally friendly areas. Large ports are located further away, so the Bay near Rybachy is not polluted. And the picturesque nature, warm climate and abundance of greenery turns this settlement into one of the most cozy corners of the Crimean coast. Rest here is mostly beach, there is little entertainment, there are no attractions. The overall impression of Rybachy is a resort village, and quite battered by time. At the same time, Rybachye is the largest and most developed resort in the area between Sudak and Alushta.
Rybachy Beach has a length of more than two kilometers, so even at the height of the season it is not crowded. The village is located directly on the shore, several paths lead to the beach, you can get there on foot. It is difficult to call the beach beautiful, rather, unfortunately, on the contrary: along most of the beach runs the P29 highway, it separates the coast from the village; the entire coastal strip is built up with buildings of cafes, shops and mini-hotels (boathouses) with access directly to the sand, and many of them are under repair or in a dilapidated state. But there are no ugly concrete structures and fences dividing the beach into sections, as on many urban beaches of the Crimea.
In the high season, you can go yachting, catamaran rides, water skiing or motorcycles. There are traditional banana rides, water slides. Locals will be happy to show you good fishing spots. And five kilometers from Rybachy, in the village of Malorechenskoye, there is a large diving center. For diving, the Bay of Love in the West is perfect.

Lazurnoye Village - a small village on the southern coast of Crimea, six kilometers south of Alushta, is part of Greater Alushta and is often perceived as one of its distant beaches (Lazurnoe on the map of Crimea. The village is very tiny, its permanent population barely reaches 150 people, but in the high season the number of people living here increases several times.
Tourists who dream of a carefree pastime in sparsely populated and quiet places near the warm and clean sea go to Lazurnoe. Shallow water, the absence of large waves, and affordable rental housing are the main advantages of Lazurnoe.
The disadvantages of Lazurnoe include almost complete lack of infrastructure (even for food it is better to go to Alushta), not very beautiful and convenient beaches (although the water is very clean), and a large height difference when moving around the village and going to the sea (you constantly have to go up and down).
Despite the glory of a beautiful beach resort, in fact, fans of a good beach holiday are waiting for a little disappointment. Several pebble beaches of Lazurnoe can be reached only in one difficult way – along the concrete and stone steps of several stairs descending to the coast along a hilly slope. Moreover, vacationers have two ways: through the territory of an unfinished boarding house; along a narrow road past the Reserve.
Those who do not represent rest without visiting nightclubs, dinners in restaurants, shopping in shopping centers or supermarkets, it is absolutely impossible to go to Lazurnoe. None of the above is here. Buy food in a small grocery store and visit a summer cafe, which can not be called homely, is the little that you can afford here.

Utes Settlement located on the coast of the Republic of Crimea, not far from Alushta, famous for its sunny beaches and developed infrastructure (Utes settlement on the map of Crimea). It belongs to the resort settlements of the southern coast of the Crimea, the most popular among tourists, while it belongs to greater Alushta.
It is impossible to call the village of Utes a typical beach resort of the Crimea. This is a special place with a special atmosphere, which, most likely, is not in any other resort of the peninsula. This is a very family place without discos, tipsy walking companies, noisy bars. Everything here is very intelligent, and no fuss. It seems that this is not a Russian resort at all, but a European place on the seashore. Even the architecture here is appropriate.
At the same time, it should be understood that beach holidays and entertainment here are also different. There are few traditional water activities on the beaches, almost none on land. The beach itself for swimming is not very suitable, concrete and not beautiful. In general, young people will be bored here, but the elderly and families with children will really like it. Also, the village will be a good option for people with health problems.
Special natural beauty here you will not see: as on most beaches of the southern coast of Crimea, around concrete and concrete breakwaters protruding into the sea, and some beaches are generally a concrete platform with sun loungers and stairs for descent into the water.
Evening Rest in Utes does not shine with Variety, but this is the difference of the resort. After sunset, you can walk along the embankment, walk along the rows of the local market (it works especially for tourists until late). For bar lovers in utes, there are a number of bars and restaurants where you can taste the legendary Crimean wine while admiring the sunset with relaxing music. At ten o'clock in the evening the village is already asleep.

Previously it was an independent village, now it is administratively considered a microdistrict of Sevastopol.
In Lyubimovka there are no attractions, very little entertainment, almost no tourist infrastructure, but the beach here is just gorgeous. The beach strip with a width of almost 100 meters stretches along the coast along the entire village for more than a kilometer, but it does not end at the outskirts, but, narrowing, continues for many kilometers to Sevastopol in the south, and to the village of Mirage in the North. The total continuous length of the beaches here is about 9 kilometers, and even at the height of the season there is a lot of space.
The beach here is Sandy and pebbly, the sand is yellow, small pebbles cover it only near the water. There are no dams, breakwaters and fences, so disfiguring landscapes in other resorts of the Crimea. The bottom goes under the water quite steeply, after 4-5 meters the water reaches the shoulders.

Balaclava - a small town and District of Sevastopol in Crimea on the Black Sea coast (Balaclava on the map). This is a full-fledged independent resort on the beach, but at the same time it is an ambiguous resort. On the one hand, there is the Sea, hotels, developed infrastructure, entertainment for tourists and attractions. It is really interesting here, only the Museum-Factory of submarines come to visit tourists from all over the Crimea, and so much more interesting in the district and in the city of Sevastopol, which can be reached by city bus.
But on the other hand, there are no beaches as such. The city is located in a bay with very beautiful views, but historically it so happened that all the shores here are covered with concrete, because this is a port city, and you can not buy with comfort and pleasure in the Bay. Several beaches are located further along the Bay to the exit to the sea, and if you really want, you can get to them, but doing a march every time or going there by boat will not suit every tourist.
But this does not mean that balaclava is not suitable as a place to spend a whole vacation. This is a great cozy resort with a special atmosphere, something reminiscent of European seaside towns. In addition, there is something to do for tourists. But if you are going to the Crimea to sunbathe and swim in the Black Sea, relax with your family, balaclava will not be the best choice. That is why most of the guests of the resort are tourists who come here as part of organized excursions from other resorts, or independent travelers who come here for a few days.

On the Internet you can find enthusiastic descriptions of the village as an ideal place to relax in the Crimea with ideal beaches, lots of entertainment and well-developed infrastructure. However, in fact, everything is not so unambiguous, and in Rest In Nikolaevka there are both pluses and minuses.
Nikolaevka is, first of all, a beach holiday. Actually, a budget holiday by the sea is the only thing for which it is worth going here. There are no attractions here at all, and there is little entertainment: mostly cafes, bars and discos and a little beach entertainment. The beauty of nature does not differ from the village: around the steppe, no mountains, little greenery. However, the constant advantage of the village are low prices. The choice of budget housing and guest houses is very large, you can have a budget meal in cafes and canteens. Entertainment here is also cheaper than in neighboring more developed resorts. There is also an excellent warm sea, which warms up even earlier than in Yevpatoria and other resorts on the East Coast. The water is mostly calm, there are few waves, and moderately transparent.
The sea here is good, calm, the water is clean, because there are no ports and industries nearby. But the beaches of Nikolaevka are one of the weak points of the resort, and this is putting it mildly. Beautiful and cozy City Beach will seem only to the most unassuming tourists. Almost along the entire narrow beach strip there are old concrete fortifications, ruined in places, with rusty fittings sticking out of them. In other places, concrete blocks "pulled" water into the sea, and they "please" vacationers under water. Thanks to all this concrete, the beach strip becomes very narrow at high tide, and in some places the water approaches directly to the concrete fortification, leaving no place to rest at all.

To get into it, you have to go along the highway towards Yevpatoria, almost leaving the city. However, most hotels are located in this coastal area, and not in the center. In the center there are only a few treated sanatoriums and hotels of urban type. Also near the city on the shore there is a separate resort area and suburb - the village of Novofedorovka, which is an independent, developed and very pleasant place.

The infrastructure here is extremely poorly developed: there are no ATMs, chain stores, pharmacies and gas stations.
Despite the long sandy beaches, rest in Steregushchy is not suitable for all lovers of relaxing at sea. If you do not have your own car, it will be difficult to get here, and during the rest the lack of transport will make you a "hostage" of this tiny resort. Attractions and entertainment in The Steregushee are not from the word at all, inexpensive group excursions are not sold.
