The Ukrainian coast of the Azov Sea is considered a budget option for people who do not have enough finances for a good vacation in Crimea. The Sea of Azov today is "famous" for its unfavorable ecological situation, which frightens off many tourists. However, is everything really that bad - or do worthy resort places on its coast still exist?
Azov sea
The Azov Sea is the innermost and shallowest sea in the world. A large number of resort villages and towns are located on its Ukrainian coast, where it is quite inexpensive and interesting to have a rest. Thanks to the multitude of mineral and underground springs located in the Azov Sea region, rest on its coast can be successfully combined with treatment and other wellness procedures.
The air on the coast of the sea is saturated with iodine, aromas of steppe herbs and various minerals, which is very beneficial for the respiratory system.
The climate of the Ukrainian coast of the Azov Sea is most suitable for families with small children. Its shallow warm waters make it possible for small holidaymakers to swim comfortably and safely - the water in shallow water warms up to plus 26 ° C, and sandy beaches are almost everywhere flat. The average air temperature on the Ukrainian coast is from 25 to 30 ° C.
Popular resorts of the Azov coast
The most popular resorts on the Ukrainian coast of the Azov Sea include Berdyansk, Kirillovka, Primorsk, Mariupol, Genichesk, as well as resorts on the Kerch Peninsula. Experienced vacationers recommend going to Genichesk, but not to the city itself, but exclusively to the Arabat Spit, where, unlike Mariupol, you can find clean water and good beaches.
It is unprofitable to settle in Genichesk, since the beach is far from the city, and vegetables, fish and fruits are quite expensive.
It is best to go to the villages of Schastlivtsevo and Gengorka, which are considered the best in terms of comfort and cost of services. You can safely go there as a savage - villagers rent rooms and apartments for a reasonable price, and food can be easily bought in local markets at low prices. For extreme lovers, the village of Strelkovoye is perfect, which is located on the 49th kilometer of the Arabat Spit and it is quite difficult to get there.
To get to Genichesk, you will have to fly to Zaporozhye, where at the bus station you need to take a minibus going to the city. You can also choose a different route by taking the Moscow-Simferopol train to the Novoalekseevka station, which is thirty kilometers from Genichesk. At the station, you can take a taxi or a minibus and safely get to your destination, admiring the picturesque surroundings of the coast along the way.
