In Evpatoria you will find everything you need for a summer vacation: warm sea, good expensive hotels and simpler guest houses, children's entertainment, sanatoriums, attractions and sandy beaches. In the low season, people come here to improve their health with the help of therapeutic mud, mineral waters and sanatorium treatment courses. In the summer, it is a “city of childhood”, since among all the Crimean resorts it is best suited for families with children.

Knowing the areas of the resort town will allow you to decide on housing during your trip. The urban parts of Evpatoria differ in their proximity to the sea and beaches, the availability of entertainment, the type of houses, the number of sanatoriums and infrastructure. There are also so-called “sleeping” areas.

more than 20 microdistricts in Yevpatoria . It is better for tourists to stay in areas located as close as possible to the sea:

• Sanatorium and Resort zones
• Peresyp
• Old city

We recommend that you familiarize yourself with our selection of apartments and apartments in Evpatoria, located in close proximity to the sea.

Most of the boarding houses and sanatoriums are concentrated in the Sanatorium Zone, some of them are located right on the seashore. The resort area is famous for its wide variety of entertainment, beaches and green areas.

When is the best time to go to Evpatoria?

Yevpatoria has the mildest climate throughout the peninsula. In mid-May the air temperature reaches +25 degrees. In June – +28.

If your main goal is to spend as much time as possible on the beach, swim and sunbathe as much as possible, it is best to come to Evpatoria with your children in the first month of summer. During this period, the water in the sea warms up to +22 degrees. The beaches in Evpatoria are small, and temperatures comfortable for swimming are reached faster than on the southern coast.

If your child does not tolerate heat and scorching sun, it is best to come on vacation in early September. The rays are no longer so merciless, and the sea is still warm (+22 degrees).

General Tips

1. For very young children, purchase an inflatable pool, the water in it will be warmer, and the child will spend more time swimming.
2. If you don't have a car, feel free to rent bicycles. Child seats are provided for them. Evpatoria is a compact city, you will discover a lot even in a couple of hours of riding. It is convenient to get to remote beaches by bicycle. We picked it up at a point on the street. Duvanovskaya (next to the pump room).
3. If you live in the private sector, ask about the prices for procedures in a sanatorium nearby; you might be able to get a massage, mud therapy, or drink an oxygen cocktail. Inexpensive cocktails, by the way, can be obtained at the Red Cross office (13 November str., 22): a large glass - 40 rubles, a small glass - 20 rubles.
4. In Crimea, everything is for sale; there is no need to carry a pack of Japanese diapers with you.
5. If you need to consult a doctor, there are two children's clinics in Evpatoria. The search engine only returns on the street. Nekrasova, 85. Perhaps a new branch on the street. Dmitry Ulyanov, 1A will be closer. There are also fewer queues here.
6. If an important point of your planned trip is self-medication on Lake Moinaki, know that the miraculous lake is “not the same anymore.” The water is desalinated by coastal and bottom sources; the centuries-old mud baths, once famous far beyond the borders of the USSR, are closed. In sanatoriums and health institutions of Evpatoria they use imported Saki mud and rappa. But the lake itself is still picturesque, and the air is saturated with salts and minerals.

Children

It’s good for children and with children:

1. A sandy beach for kids, sand is still preferable to pebbles: you can build castles, dig the deepest tunnels, hide “secrets”, make Easter cakes and dig out each other without touching your hands. What would childhood be without this?!
2. Shallow water for quiet swimming: a couple of steps or movements away from mom will not steal the bottom from under little legs.
3. There are many places where it is interesting for a child to go: a dolphinarium, a Dinopark, a Tropic Park, a mini-zoo, an aquarium, attractions, water parks, a theater.
4. A constant series of events for children, including free ones: master classes, performances by children's groups (remember the abundance of camps), Friday Karaite evenings (an atmospheric festival in the old city with a large number of cultural events for children of all ages).

Reviews from vacationers

Inna Ivanova, Omsk, 26 years old, hairdresser. I visit Evpatoria every year with my son. This is the best resort we went to with him. The child is not bored, there is always something to do, and I still have time for myself. I don’t even know which of us likes Evpatoria more.

Roman Pavlov, 36 years old, Komi Republic, engineer. I prefer Yevpatoria for its good beaches and their diversity. It’s not boring to spend time here because you can go to a new place every day. Not every city can boast such an abundance of entertainment. And the children are busy all the time, you can take a break from them.

Evpatoria seems to be specially created for children and family recreation. Almost every hotel, guest house or boarding house thought about little tourists and tried to create for them all the conditions conducive to a comfortable stay. The resort has sanatoriums that are ready to accept a child for treatment. Curious kids can learn something new every day by visiting different establishments.

People

After ten in the evening the city falls asleep, except for the noisy party areas of Frunze Street and Solaris Beach. Almost all restaurants and cafes are closing, the embankments are empty.

Evpatoria is a family resort, there are many young guests here, children easily make friends on the beach or on the playground, and quickly acquire company and new friends.

Attitudes towards visitors are different: those who work with tourists dream of “extracting” more money, the rest of the Evpatorians are very responsive and hospitable.

Walking past the fire station, our kids stuck to the fence, looking at the cars. A fireman saw them, invited us inside and gave the children a real tour. Just like that, because the children and because he had time.
