Greetings! In Crimea, a mass departure of burnt and tired tourists with empty wallets and bank cards began. It went to everyone who chose August for a vacation, many, under the influence of the heat, did not complete several points of the planned program, leaving a lot of interesting things for “when the bridge is built”. I decided to collect my "marginal notes" and write about the rest on the Kerch Peninsula in the fall.

And while some unpack their suitcases and tell how everything is good / normal / bad in Crimea, others monitor the weather informers and think: where to go and what to see, for example, in the east of the peninsula. Autumn in Crimea is unpredictable, like spring. If you are lucky with the weather, you can swim in the sea with pleasure until the first days of October. It also happened - after a cold September, a warm and “velvet” October came, but the sea had already cooled down by that time.

(the article uses several photos taken by tourists during their holidays in the Crimea)

Rest on the Sea of ​​Azov

Steppe landscapes predominate in the eastern Crimea. If you look along the coast: the mountainous area starts from Cape St. Elijah in Feodosia and stretches to Cape Aya in Balaklava. From the Kerch Peninsula to Feodosia, one can see hills, rocky bays, wide sandy beaches and two seas - Black and Azov.

In eastern Crimea, autumn comes earlier than on south coast and the air temperature can be below sea temperature. The Black Sea often storms, so many choose the Sea of ​​Azov or the South Coast.


The holiday season in the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov ends in October. The Sea of ​​Azov is suitable for families with small children. Here, in contrast to the humid climate Black Sea coast, acclimatization of the child occurs much faster. And the beaches with white sand and a gentle entrance to the water are absolutely safe for kids.

A special pride of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov are therapeutic salt lakes and mud volcanoes. Tourists specially come to them in order to combine relaxation at sea with the adoption of mud procedures. The reserved Chokrak Lake is very popular, but one should not forget that therapeutic mud is contraindicated for many.


The sea is across the road from the lake. People smear themselves with mud and wash it off into the sea in 10-15 minutes. If kept longer, it may cause redness or burns. The mud is oily, black with a blue tint. The texture is very soft. Many take it with them, it is stored for a long time, it is poorly washed from things.


While writing the article, I came across a note about the catastrophic situation on the lake. In the summer of 2017, the banks of the healing reservoir turned into a dump for household waste. When you read about such disgusting things, do you think, maybe it’s better to close access to such resources if people have become consumers and they don’t care about natural heritage? It is clear that utilities do not take out and blah blah blah, but the truth is, have a conscience! Most people come there by car, take the garbage with you and throw it into empty bins along the way or into containers near the house if you live in Crimea.


The Azov coast invariably attracts lovers active rest. Constant winds and the absence of strong storms make Azov resorts meeting point for windsurfers, kitesurfers, sailing and water skiers

Thanks to the two seas in the vicinity a large number of well-maintained and wild beaches. If there is a storm on the Black Sea, you will have to spend quite a bit of time to move to the other side and swim in the warm waves of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov.

You can get to the barrier, and then you need to walk a few kilometers or take a regular bus from Kerch to the village of Maryevka and then walk for 11 km. You can see the lake in different shades of red at the beginning of summer.


The rest of the resorts of eastern Crimea are located at a distance from the Kerch Peninsula, and they are separated by endless steppes and deserted beaches. Rest on the Kerch Peninsula can be interesting if you study the information about this part of Crimea in advance.
