Where is the best place to relax in Feodosia. Personal experience: economical family vacation in Feodosia

One of the warmest and sunniest resorts in Crimea is Feodosiya district. The sea here warms up already in early June, so the swimming season lasts longer than in other parts of the peninsula. Feodosia is located on a long sandy coast, which is why local beaches are considered the most convenient and comfortable for recreation.

By the number of historical sights, the city is not inferior to Sevastopol and iconic places southern coast of Crimea. There are many medieval temples, the ancient Kafa fortress, as well as picturesque mansions of the 19th-20th centuries. Many places in Feodosia are associated with the name of the great artist I.K. Aivazovsky, who was born here, lived and created his incomparable seascapes.

The residence of the bishop, the consular palace, the court, administrative offices and utility rooms were located here. Most of the buildings were demolished in the 19th century. Only part of the walls, several towers, a bridge, Armenian churches and the building of Turkish baths have survived to this day.

2. Tower of St. Constantine

The construction was erected in 1382 to protect Feodosia (Kafa) from an attack from the sea. In 1475, after the capture of the Crimea by the Ottoman Turks, an additional bastion was added to the tower (today only the foundation has been preserved from it). At the beginning of the 20th century, the tower of St. Constantine was restored by specialists invited from Italy. In this form, it has reached our days.

3. Dacha Stamboli

Villa on Aivazovsky Prospekt, built in 1914 for the merchant I. Stamboli. After the October Revolution of 1917, the dacha was nationalized. Since 1921, a sanatorium was located here, later - a military hospital and a clinic. After the collapse of the USSR, the premises became private property, and a restaurant operated on its territory. Since 2013, the Museum of Underwater Archeology has been operating here.

4. Dacha Milos

Vera Mukhina became famous throughout the world thanks to her 25-meter monumental sculpture "Worker and Collective Farm Woman", created especially for the World Exhibition in 1937. The museum dedicated to the sculptor was opened in 1985 on the very spot where the house of Vera Ignatievna's family was located. The exposition reproduces fragments of V. Mukhina's room and her creative workshop.

9. Feodosia Museum of Local Lore

In 1811, the Feodosia Museum of Antiquities was opened (later renamed the Museum of Local Lore). At first, it simply served as an artifact repository. In 1871, a separate building was built for the impressively expanded collection at the expense of I.K. Aivazovsky. In the 20th century, the exposition moved two more times until it settled in a mansion of the 19th-20th centuries, where it is still located.

10. Feodosia Money Museum

Since ancient times, coins have been minted on the territory of Feodosia. The ancient Greeks, Genoese and Crimean Tatars had their own money. At the beginning of the 19th century, the first numismatic exposition was created within the framework of the Feodosia Museum of Antiquities. The modern museum of money was founded in 2003 on the initiative of O. A. Romanovich, a local collector. On the this moment its funds contain about 30 thousand coins, the oldest of which date back to the 7th century BC. e.

11. Church of St. Sarkis

The Armenian temple of 1330, which in the XIV-XVI centuries served as the spiritual cultural and educational center of the Armenian diaspora. Prominent thinkers and artists of that time worked here - Baberdetsi, Avetis, Christosatur, Simeon and others. Valuable manuscripts created in this church are kept in Paris, Jerusalem and Vienna. Near the temple there is a cemetery where I.K. Aivazovsky is buried.

12. Grave of I. K. Aivazovsky

The outstanding marine painter was buried in the courtyard of the Armenian church of Surb Sarkis in a place of honor for his especially valuable contribution to the cultural development of Feodosia and the entire Crimea. At the beginning of the 20th century, by order of the artist's widow, a marble tombstone was erected on his grave, made by the Italian sculptor Biogioli. In 1944, she herself was buried next to the artist.

13. Church of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God

The first mention of the temple refers to XIV century, although it is believed to have existed long before that time. Before the arrival of the Ottoman Turks in the Crimea, the temple was the Armenian church of St. John the Baptist. At the end of the 19th century, it was re-consecrated in honor of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God. The last restoration work was carried out here in 1996. At the moment the church is active.

14. Mufti-Jami Mosque

The historic Friday Mosque of Feodosia, built in the first half of the 17th century. The building was built at the expense of the Turkish community on the model of Istanbul temples. At the end of the 18th century, after the Crimea became part of the Russian Empire and until the beginning of the 20th century, a Catholic mosque was located on the territory of the mosque. Armenian church. In the 1990s the building was returned to the Muslim community.

15. Church of St. George

In the XIV century, the temple was the katholikon (main church) of the Armenian Catholic monastery of St. Great Martyr George the Victorious. In those days, numerous pilgrims set off from here to the Holy Land. In the 19th century, the church was rebuilt, as a result of which an octagonal domed tower appeared, which is characteristic of Russian temple architecture.

16. Church of St. Catherine

The temple was founded in 1892 on the birthday of Catherine II. The construction project was created in accordance with the architectural traditions of the 17th century. The building was erected by a team of volunteers at no cost. The Church of St. Catherine is a very beautiful and elegant building that adorns the city landscape. Its facade is strewn with numerous decorative arches and murals and topped with gilded domes.

17. Sailor's Park

The park is located on the spot where, during the early Ottoman Empire there was a large slave market. In the market they sold slaves driven by the Tatars from South Russia and of Eastern Europe. The square was laid out in memory of the sailors who died during the defense of Feodosia during the Great Patriotic War. The territory of the park is decorated with wooden sculptures made from old tree trunks.

18. Aivazovsky Fountain

The opening of the fountain took place in 1888. At first, the city authorities wanted to name it in honor of Alexander III, but the emperor preferred that the spring be named after I.K. Aivazovsky, given the artist's services to the city (especially the fact that it was built at the expense of the painter). The fountain was part of the Feodosia-Subash water pipeline, which supplied Feodosia with fresh water.

19. Fountain "To the Good Genius"

Commemorative fountain of 2004, erected in honor of I.K. Aivazovsky. The first monument was created by grateful townspeople in 1890 in honor of the day when the artist gave Feodosia a donation for 50,000 buckets of water per day from the Subash springs, which belonged to his wife. During the Great Patriotic War, the monument mysteriously disappeared. The new monument was built half a century later with municipal funds.

20. Feodosia Dolphinarium "Nemo"

The Dolphinarium opened in 2012 and has since become a popular city attraction. He is complete entertainment center for the whole family. Here you can visit entertaining shows with the participation of dolphins and sea lions, swim with these amazing animals, as well as take pictures and get a positive charge for many days ahead.

21. First city beach

Sandy beach in the central part of the city, stretching for 300-350 meters along the seashore. Its width ranges from 40 to 50 meters. Thanks to comfortable descent in the sea, as well as a shallow and gently sloping bottom, the beach is very popular among tourists with children. It has all the necessary infrastructure for comfortable rest. You can swim on the beach since spring, as the water here warms up quite quickly.

22. Pebbles Beach

The beach is about 1 km long, located in the central part of Feodosia. It consists of a mixture of small pebbles and sand and has a gentle entrance to the sea. On the territory of the beach there is an entertainment complex with attractions, rental of water modes of transport, cafes and numerous souvenir tents. In the high season, the beach is visited by a sufficiently large number of tourists, so it can be crowded here.

23. Golden Beach

Well-maintained sandy beach, located in one of the best resort areas city ​​district of Feodosiya. The place is distinguished by its convenient location, excellent climate and warm water. From here you have a picturesque view of the bay. The beach is equipped with parking and sports grounds. Most of its territory belongs to the tourist complex of the same name.

24. Beach club 117

A popular holiday destination located on the 117th km of the Simferopol-Kerch highway. The Beachclub 117 complex includes a beach, a nightclub, a day bar and a restaurant. Music festivals and holidays are constantly held here, to which famous DJs are invited. During the day, visitors can enjoy water sports sports, sunbathing or playing volleyball, at night - dancing to good music.

25. Ilyinsky lighthouse

The building is located on Cape St. Elijah, 4.5 km from the center of Feodosia. The lighthouse went into operation in 1899. In 1910, his somewhat primitive equipment was modernized. The last replacement of obsolete structures with modern ones took place in 2006. The space near the lighthouse serves as a wonderful observation deck for tourists. From here you have a panoramic view of the picturesque harbor.

Dear Russians, sorry for you. Do not go to Feodosia until the city is put in order. Park: mud, nowhere to sit, unhappy, barely alive "flowers" in the so-called flower beds. Horror. Transport: as for pigs. Air: stench, sewage. Sidewalks: break your legs. Yards: dust, dirt, parking spaces for cars are not equipped. There is the Internet in the world, let those who are OBLIGED to work for the benefit of the inhabitants of the city, having no idea how this is done, look at the work of municipalities in France, Germany, Spain ... and try to "lick", there is no need to reinvent the wheel, everything is already there in the world. Why such hatred towards the people living nearby?

Short. Everything is expensive, it stinks of sewage, there are no amenities and sidewalks, the streets, including the Kerch highway, are not illuminated, although new lights are everywhere, why they don’t turn them on, the sea is dirty, for the same money it’s better, by an order of magnitude, to relax in Turkey or Montenegro, no more here foot.

Terrible city. There has never been such a sediment from the rest. I'm leaving for a week. Holiday down the drain

It is strange that Feodosia is a resort town, very strange. With kids, I don't think there's much to do here. Parks are not equipped for children and beaches too. A huge number of dogs, they walk in packs, climb into a stroller, is this the norm for a resort town? Almost everywhere they are fed, caps are standing near shops and in garbage dumps and near houses and in yards, I don’t know why the city authorities don’t fine for this. The sewer stinks very strongly in the city. I don’t want to offend the local janitors, they work and you can see this work, the city is basically clean, but the overflowing garbage cans and rats are also apparently a landmark of Feodosia. I can write only one thing about housing, you will even be rented a barn, there is no one here for the quality of service steamed, they don’t care about the service, if only they paid the money. It feels like the locals remained in the Soviet era, I haven’t seen this for a long time to be honest. Hotels and mini-hotels are expensive, not worth it. The stores have huge problems with expiration dates and complete unsanitary conditions. SES DOES NOT EXIST HERE. The cafe has the same cuisine, especially those near the beaches. Traffic jams throughout the city, it is impossible to wait for a taxi. On the topic of hospitality, to put it mildly, I will not say anything, apparently we are so tired of everything that they no longer hide that they are tired of our presence. They had the imprudence to go on a tour of the Golden Ring of Crimea, they simply threw away the money. Not only did the driver rush like crazy all the way, but also the guide was swayed, either from speed, then from height, then apparently from tourists. Well, there are no words.

We went to Feodosia on the advice of friends who have been resting in the Crimea for several years.
The first thing that stunned is crazy traffic jams, horror, many hours. Finding accommodation for a few days is very difficult, private traders try to take from a week. The conditions for private traders are complete "savdepia". Private hotels are expensive and this is also in the absence of normal service. I didn't like the city at all. We walked around the Komsomolsky park and were surprised how neglected it was. The central streets are clean, but the smell of sewerage and a huge number of dogs kill, and in packs of 6 to 10 individuals, it’s creepy. There are a lot of cafes, where you can eat, the price is normal. The sea seems to be clean, but the city beach is not so hot. Everything is very boring. Excursions are very expensive, much easier by car, but again, traffic jams. If you had a chance to ride public transport, then it is more like an attraction. Public transport drivers apparently are not afraid of anyone, as they break the rules. And I was also very struck by the hostility and inhospitability of the locals, they say so, they came here from the mainland with their own rules. Somehow I don’t want to go to Feodosia anymore, by the way, I liked it much more in Evpatoria and Gurzuf, both in terms of service and attitude.

We rest in Feodosia every year. This year we decided to take a break for the New Year holidays. Walking along the embankment, Tatar men were subjected to inappropriate behavior, it’s very unpleasant, most likely we won’t go to Feodosia again

Today, 09/26/18 visited Feodosia.
Dirty and smelly town. Right in the center, at the end of the street. Gallery, on the embankment there is a sewage pumping station (sewage pumping station). The stench is unbearable all over the promenade. I didn't want to see anything else. Especially to have lunch. We quickly got into the car and left for our place, in Ordzhonikidze.
Here, although it is also not so hot, like back in the USSR, but the water in the sea is clean.
Yesterday we went to Koktebel. There is nothing to do there either. The water in the sea is dirty, after swimming, people get a rotavirus infection, especially children.
In general, in this part of the Crimea, it’s too early to rest, especially since the prices are commensurate with Krasnodar coast, and the service is clearly lower and plus deception, i.e. lure.

On the beach, algae are not removed, garbage is lying around, rats are running around in the river, in general, there are more minuses than pluses, it’s a pity that there is no order?

We were in Feodosia in early August. First time in Crimea. We arrived by bus from Krasnodar at night, rented a room from a private owner without any problems. The price suited us. For this price and convenience, not very neat yard and kitchen in the yard. They said the beach is nearby. It turned out not very, from the bus station through pedestrian bridge through the railroad. Quite a high rise on the stairs, the heat is quite unpleasant. You can go the other way along the rails, the same is not very pleasant. I liked the beach and the sea in this place. Small shell rock and sand. They told me to keep an eye on things. The people are very different. After Anapa, the sea seemed colder, after a small storm it threw out algae, but this did not particularly bother. Tour prices seemed expensive. Therefore, we went to the Crimea for 1 day, we liked it, we did not regret it. The city is dirty, especially in the area where we lived, we went to the canteen, bought groceries in the grocery store. Fruit is much cheaper at the local market. The canteen prices are reasonable. There is a road along the entire city. Beach, fence, fence across the road and railway. Every day we walked on the promenade, where entertainment and souvenirs. The sights were not particularly impressive because they were not well maintained. I didn’t like the Aivazovsky Museum at all (not about the paintings, of course), as in the village, additional signs on the walls on scotch tape ... In general, we rested with pleasure for 3 days, and then I wanted to leave - it’s hard to go to the sea twice, we studied the sights, walked around the center .. If I lived nearby, it might have been worth it to rest there for a couple of days, but we came from Siberia, and concluded that it was not worth it. I won't go there again and won't recommend it to others. I don’t know if it was better there under Ukraine, maybe in 10 years they will put things in order there. Compared to my city, it’s a run-down town, there seem to be no janitors there at all ...

Advantages: There is not

Disadvantages: Prices, sea, beach

Was in that year, with his family, very sorry that they chose this particular city. There are no normal beaches, the sea is dirty, I had to go to the village of Beregovoe, it is located 10 kilometers from Feodosia. The city itself is ancient, there are museums, the Aivazovsky Museum is especially famous. Few shops, poor quality food, and expensive. This city is more suitable for excursions than for recreation. There is a beach, but it is very dirty. I do not recommend staying here. Very boring and gray city. There are excursions, but not, what young people want, but young people want active rest instead of walking around the gray city all day and looking at the gloomy faces of people. I won't come back here again. HORROR

Advantages: Lots of sea

Disadvantages: The special resort greed of the natives

Dirty and smelly city. Nuclear prices for housing and food. On the central embankment, smelly slurry flows into the sea (as there was no sewer pipe 50 years ago). We will never come here again. I do not advise anyone.

Disadvantages:

• dirty water
• locomotives at the embankment
• narrow, cramped beach
• noisy at the station

How long have I been preparing for this vacation! I would like to go abroad and at the same time, so that by train, that is, not far away. I decided that it would be Crimea. For a long time I asked my friends where it is better. And summing up the results of my questions and searches on the Internet, I came to the conclusion that I would go to Feodosia. First of all, cheap (housing and food), quiet small town and most importantly, the train goes to the city itself (which means it is easy to get to the place). In general, I went. I also took my kids with me! I wanted to please! I don’t know how it happened that I didn’t find a single negative review on the Internet about holidays in Feodosia. Apparently, now mine will be the first!

We arrived ... And our negative impressions accumulated like a snowball!

Housing. Well, it's cheap. 300r per day. Housing - room, kitchen, toilet. Creepy shabby walls, and the unique smell of cat urine .. Well, they were looking for cheaper ones, it's their own fault. To the sea promised 5 minutes, it turned out 15.

The road to the sea is 15 minutes through mountains of garbage, unauthorized dumps, dog feces. It was generally difficult to assume that somewhere there is a treasured sea.

Sea. Beach. We've arrived. Shock! Sea 17 degrees (okay, nobody's fault). In the sea, mud, garbage, algae. Beach? He was absent. Sharp stones. Beer bottles, cigarette butts. We were reassured, they said that there are better beaches further. We honestly walked the entire coastal strip the next day - I have not seen anything more depressing, sad, dirty, unkempt.

If I were alone, I would think that all this seems to me. I have read rave reviews.

In general, the whole company we sadly walked around the city and tried to understand where it is "great", "super" ... We went around the whole city up and down - I have not seen a dirtier city. Miserable, abandoned. It was a pity, because there are many heroic pages in the history of the city.

Prices. The prices were astounding! Tomatoes, cucumbers are more expensive than at home! In hryvnia it seems like a penny, but in translation into our rubles everything is somewhat more expensive than in Russia.

People There is no such rudeness in stores even in Russia. It's called a "resort town"

Entertainment Just awful. Crowds of people on the embankment are crazy rides where students earn extra money. No safety equipment!

We planned to rest for 14 days ... on the 3rd day, the nerves were at the limit, we all quarreled, and on the 4th day we simply left the glorious city - the hero of Feodosia, which once belonged to Russia.

Almost 3 months have passed since our trip, and there is still a very unpleasant aftertaste in my soul. It's a pity the money thrown to the wind, it's a pity the ruined vacation (which is once a year), it's a pity the once beautiful cozy city of Feodosia.

Most of all, in Feodosia, I did not like the fact that the lights did not work there in the evening and at night. We could not take a walk after 21.00, because later we simply would not have reached the house. The streetlights outside the embankment did not work at all ... and even the asphalt was crooked and slanting. Of the pluses in Feodosia, you can eat inexpensively. There is no special entertainment there, only all sorts of lotteries on the embankment ... and shopping, of course. The beach is pebbly. nice beach in 15 minutes by minibus - in Ordzhonikidze. We went there. Some private traders have very poor housing ... moreover, for a very normal amount.

The hostess will lure you with discounts, there is nothing to do there! We came to rest with my family, we stayed in a mini hotel, looking cute and beautiful. And everything seemed to be fine, at first! In the morning we went to the beach to swim, and then it started, the small beach will be located nowhere for entertainment, at least a cafe, it’s not enough to even have a bite to eat, we went to Koktebel there and there are more people and entertainment in general life! We arrived and said we were leaving. The hostess (Armenian) at the beginning refused to give money, and it was 30k in 2 weeks, then she raised a storm and started yelling, as a result, we had to pay for 2 nights, well, God bless him, so she also gave 1400 R less and said that there is no more when we packed up it turned out that the girl lost her wallet with all the money in general, a great vacation, just 5 points. Hotel on Kalinina street.

Rest failed. It all started out as nothing. We reserved housing, a boathouse right on the shore of the Black Sea embankment. Not cheap, 8 thousand rubles. day. The path lay through ferry crossing on a single ticket. There are a lot of expectations for transport. We have to wait for the ferry, then wait for the bus to Feodosia. Hours pass in anticipation. After the crossing, the buses are dead, condensate flows directly from the air conditioners onto the passengers, the seats fall apart. In general, the road from Krasnodar to Feodosia took almost 10 hours. Well, okay, we've arrived. To be honest, the owners of the boathouse met at the station, drove to the place. First impression, euphoria from the sea. I'll get ahead of myself, this is the only positive thing in the review - the sea .... Everything. There is nothing else there, in Feodosia. Since we arrived in the evening, of course we didn’t have time to go shopping, but I want to eat. In general, we went to the sea and looked for a place to eat. The time is eight in the evening, the Black Sea embankment ...., but there is nowhere to eat !!!

Some kind of beach eateries with dubious quality food, and it is practically non-existent. It's on the menu, but it's not available. The waiters, in other matters, we later realized that not only they, but in general all the locals around, look at you like a chicken that needs to be plucked without making any special efforts. But this is not the worst thing, after two days of our stay there, a collapse occurred, our entire coast was de-energized! Generally! No electricity, no water, no air conditioning, NOTHING!!! Nothing for 8 tyr per day. My call to the owners was taken as a personal insult, I was asked to move out. But where? I can’t imagine such a situation, even in Egypt or Turkey. There they themselves will be transported to another hotel and they will apologize for the rest of the time. And they just sent it to hell. Although in the neighboring huts more efficient owners brought generators to the guests. And we carried buckets of water from the sea to the toilet. We spent two days without electricity, like in a tent at the price of a good hotel.

Prices are a different story. What's on the market, what's in the stores horse prices. In general, the impression of Crimea is the most negative. Probably for a long time beat off the desire to rest there. First: delivery to the place. Until the message gets better, there's nothing to do there. Secondly: the infrastructure of the peninsula. Internal roads, transport, shops, catering, etc. etc. And thirdly, the most important thing in my opinion: the attitude towards vacationers. As long as the locals will look at the vacationers as if they were their own wallet, for some strange reason, being in someone else's pocket will be of no use. It doesn’t matter to them whether you want to come to them again, it’s more important to just pluck you here and now. Conclusion: I had enough impressions for five years. You decide for yourself, but if you need my advice, then here it is: better go to Cyprus. Spend the same amount of money, the difference in impressions is striking

Advantages:

Sea, antiquity

Disadvantages:

Dirty appearance, a lot of tourists, landfills, broken houses, noise

Details

So, the city of Feodosia, at first glance it seems that the city is generally noisy, especially if we consider it as a resort city, then it is always noisy there in summer. The embankment is littered with tourists, some discos, attractions and other nonsense, which, instead of letting the human body rest, on the contrary, irritates the nervous system and as a result, a person gets tired of such a rest, and does not rest. This is stress for the body, and what kind of vacation is this when there is only noise, heat, crowds of people and alcohol around. The embankment has because of this a huge minus. Another disadvantage is the railway tracks right next to the city beach, and a kilometer of stalls with goods along the promenade, blocking the view of the sea. This is a huge disadvantage of the city.

Neutral Feedback

Anna Viktorovna

It is very difficult to be objective when you love this city very much, when every summer you dream of coming to Feodosia, to a familiar beach, walking around your native streets and breathing fresh sea air. Yes, youth passed here and children grew up, even though this is not your city. Yes, close and dear people live here ... or do they exist? Alas, the answer is obvious, people in the city of Feodosia EXIST.
It is very pitiful for them and I really want to help, to reach out to the authorities, but hands fall at the moment when you realize that they themselves, the Theodosians, in fact, do not need anything. As if they are trying to solve their problems with someone else's hands: “And you complain, write, shout: they say everywhere complaining about their lives.”
I have to come to Feodosia every year, elderly relatives live here, and every year I get scared for the people who carelessly and thoughtlessly go to this small, dirty and smelly town, full of unsanitary indifference and aggression of the locals.
Why bring small children here, if in the event of an unforeseen health situation you will definitely not receive normal assistance. Food in catering is very tolerable, not safe. Milk sours before reaching the table, and bread stinks of chemistry a day later. Sausages are not tasty, cheeses are expensive, many fruits are not local, but they are presented as local and the price is fabulous, and cute old women sell homemade eggs for as much as 100 rubles.
There is dirt in the city, the river was cleaned on Plyazhnaya, there are no frogs, but hordes of swimming and rushing rats, how people are not afraid to walk there in the evenings, and even with children, I don’t know, it’s horror.
The beaches are free, but of course not without paid services. I am very outraged by the illogical policy of local entrepreneurs. Money is taken for a sun lounger in the shade, but when arrogant locals come and for free, they sit close either on their chairs or on their rags next to you or almost on your head and calmly report that we are locals and we do what we want, remarks to them are not done, this is a service. And at your own expense. It's hot, the sun loungers are empty, and the shade under the canopy is full, people are lying on top of each other. This is where people really do not know how and do not want to earn money. There are no lifeguards.
It became boring in the center, there is no abundance of roses, flowers, and those that are there are not watered, invariably crowds of already chipped dogs, they did not solve the problem with this. By the way, locals love animals more than people, many have crowds of stray dogs in the yard or near the house, they feed them and don’t think about the consequences with their heads.
Well, the most important thing about housing. I will not write about hotels and mini-hotels, I will write about private traders, since my friends got to 3 different places this year just to them. Naturally, you need to understand that living with the owners or with the owners is much cheaper, so, probably, you could finish your story - EXACTLY THIS FACT IS THE HOUSES THEN bragging before the dissatisfied tourists. Be prepared that the first question they ask you is, do you have children? They can’t stand children, they don’t need them, then, if you are lucky and you are settled with children, they will shut you up and pull you with their comments and claims. Another fact that infuriates them is that your car is the number two enemy after your children. You will listen to something like, Feodosia is a small city, the one you arrived by car, there is not enough space, traffic jams, etc. The price is from 250 to 700 rubles, hence the service. Rarely, when new linen and clean pillows, from friends I saw a pillow in a child, I almost fell, she was a century old, no less. The floors are dirty, you need to, wash it yourself, here is a rag and a bucket, do you really think that the hostess will bother to do the cleaning, for such little money, she will sweep it back and forth and that's it. The toilet, bath and shower are your problems. Pray that there is always hot water, as well as a summer shower, you paid little money, and when 10 days later you give away these crumbs, God forbid that you at least smile.
Refrigerators, as well as pillows, age-old, dirty and smelly, not washed from year to year, mostly stand on the street, and if God forbid you cook yourself, get ready for the fact that very often you will throw your products in the trash as they flow. Well, if it rains, then you will definitely swim in the yard with a sewer, since it is clogged for everyone, the storm drains are all clogged.
The city stinks of sewerage now everywhere, if earlier Gallery, Beach and the central beach sinned with this, now it is everywhere. Garbage containers are full everywhere, garbage everywhere, tourists will naturally say, but no local comrades, I visited you in February and March, the picture is the same.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS A TROUBLE. Especially the beloved ETALON 2 and 4, there is already a whole cycle on YouTube about these minibuses. “Mommy dear”, what’s going on, horror, well, I understand, they’ve come in large numbers ... ..
If you want to get from the center to Koktebel or Biostation by minibus, first go to church and pray for your health, because on this route there are “immortal kamikazes” that rush so that your whole life flies before your eyes.
Sightseeing trips are now a real luxury, the price is so crazy that you wonder, but do not expect that for your big money, believe me, you will get what you wanted or what you promised. YOU WILL BE DECEIVED IMMEDIATELY. And the first catch will be the gazelle that came for you, yes, yes, you correctly understood the g.a.z.el. well, or at best a Ford. Although, when you are going to pay for the tour and ask the distributor what bus will be, everyone has a standard answer, good and safe. Believe me, the guide and the tour will not be interesting, many places will not be shown to you, referring to the driver, who is only the first day on the flight today and did not know that it was necessary to stop in one place or another. And most importantly, you will be brought to one or another cafe or shop where they will make crazy discounts only for you)))))
And my favorite is taxi drivers. Oh, well done guys, where the lazy ones are utter and arrogant. They only ride no further than their nose, one or two blocks - EVERYTHING. For a lot of money. You should at least kneel in front of them, offer a huge amount, smile, and this crowd of kings will decide whether to go or not. Disgusting, horrible.
I know one thing, Theodosius is dying from a very terrible disease, human indifference. She will be lost in the crowd of her brothers or sons of the cities and, hardly large crowds of cars will call in, in my once beloved city. Drive by, I will tell all my friends, relatives and relatives. There is no rescue service, no evacuation service, no animal trapping service, no PPS, no police, NO OWNER, there is no one in this ancient and once beautiful city. DRIVE BY…..

Advantages: Aivazovsky Gallery, a long embankment, reasonable prices for housing and food.

Disadvantages: There are no mountains like in Turkey.

After Kemer there is nothing to do there. so everyone says who has the opportunity to compare and I agree with them. Another thing is if you are not allowed to travel abroad and there is nowhere else to go except to domestic resorts. Here is Feodosia, the first nearest Crimean resort from Kerch. An ordinary seaside town, where there are some factories, factories and other industries, a lot of housing offers. Prices usually decrease if you go further away from the sea in search of housing. The vegetable market was very surprised by its cheapness, this is not Yalta for you, everything is there and very cheap. Cafes, embankment. museums, the Aivazovsky Gallery, all this is usually included in the list of holidays for the average tourist. But knowing that Feodosia is more than two thousand years old, I want to touch its history, and yet there is something to see there. visits.

A week of rest in the city itself is enough to swim, climb around, be sure to visit the Green Museum and the Aivazovsky Gallery. Unfortunately, the sea in August is filled with algae and, as the locals say, begins to bloom. But very warm and affectionate. We swam on the Golden Beach, public transport goes there, it’s somehow better than on city beaches, wider, fewer people, but if the wind rises, then this sand is in your eyes and ears and nose, then you immediately remember pebble beaches of Sochi. If you don’t find fault with the fact that everything here still smells of the nineties, then it’s quite a tolerable vacation for tolerable money. It is definitely worth coming here, at least for show. By the way, nearby is the village of Primorsky where we were before, but I will write about it next time.

Advantages: Fast food restaurants, wine, promenade.

Disadvantages: Dirty sea, expensive nightclubs.

Arriving in Feodosia, we checked into an ordinary hotel and went to wander around the city. The first thing that greeted us was an abundance of cafes and beautiful people, but when we reached the embankment we were stunned, tons of mud along with water from the recent rain merged directly from the embankment into the sea, and we went to the nearest bar without swimming in the sea. This was the first reaction to the city of Feodosia.

But the next day everything was fine and we bought. Also of the merits I would like to note the Aivazovsky Gallery, takeaway pizzerias, an abundance of bars and nightclubs. Prices by the way in nightclubs are very unpleasant and too high.

I really liked that the picturesque railway (moreover, it is operating) runs right along the embankment itself, I liked the fast food chains and the abundance of self-service restaurants and delicious cuisine.

I didn’t like the fact that during our stay in the city, we couldn’t find rum to make mojito, we had to go around a lot of shops, but we never found it.

In general, Feodosia, apart from a couple of historical monuments, and the railway on the embankment, was not particularly remembered by anything, so to speak, the city at one time.

Advantages:

• cheap
• close to bus station and railway station

Disadvantages:

• locomotives at the embankment
• noisy at the station

Let's say you came to Feodosia for a couple of days. Well, or they decided to stop for a day on the way (for example, to Kerch and further to Russia). And you don't want to pay 500 hryvnias for an overnight stay... I really don't want to. You are satisfied with the level of the hostel (toilet-shower in the corridor, the sea is a couple of stops away, absolute silence is not needed). Then you are here, in the rest room at the Aivazovskaya station. By the way, if you came to Feodosia by bus, you don’t have to go anywhere. One has only to go around the church, which is opposite the bus station and cross the road - and you are there. I sleep at. 3-bed room (with sharing, which is not yet available). For a day I paid 37 hryvnias (about 150 rubles) + 15 UAH per shower. Room is spacious, beds are good. There is a closet and a washbasin in the room. Toilet and shower in the hallway, shower cubicle and boiler. And it's all for nothing. Unlike the services of one campsite in Koktebel. The only drawback is that the building is located on the railway platform. And my room still has windows on the way, and here sometimes steam locomotives pass by. Well, you can survive one or two nights. If the nerves are not loosened, I recommend. Decent solution for the price.

Advantages:

• quite affordable price
• lots of excursions

Disadvantages:

• railroad next to the beach
• narrow, cramped beach

When my husband and I were once again deciding where to go, we pointed a finger at the trains)) Feodosiya fell out. We rested with our 4-year-old daughter. temples of various religious denominations), a market with affordable prices for seasonal vegetables and fruits, the ability to independently go to many sightseeing places - regular buses run, the prices of which are several times lower than excursion ones (so we went to the dolphinarium). Relatively close to Koktebel (you can drive for cognac or to the house of writers, whoever is closer)))

Among the shortcomings: mud, you turn a little to the side, eternal dogs, a port near the beach and a railway. Yes, the beach itself is very narrow. When we were there, we arranged a “golden” shell beach outside the city. There is nothing but the beach itself.

Advantages:

Comfortable and affordable accommodation.

Disadvantages:

Not a very clean environment.

Details

In my opinion, you need to go on vacation to the Crimea first in order to enjoy its unique nature. On the southern coast of Crimea, in such cities as Yalta, Alushta, Alupka, Sudak, you can really see amazing plants, the pristine nature of the mountains and the coast with crystal clear sea water of unique color. Unfortunately, this cannot be said about Theodosius. But the coast of Feodosia lives its own nightlife, leaving in the evening you will find here a lot of cafes, various entertainment venues and entertainment attractions. Fans of a more active holiday should visit this resort and, if desired, you can go on an excursion to other cities south coast Crimea which are held here everywhere.

Positive reviews

Just arrived yesterday. Everything is great! To the sea 30 seconds. The hostess is great! Prices on the waterfront as elsewhere. The child was very happy

We rested in August 2018 in Feodosia, the sea was warm, we lived in a hotel, Three pines" on Veresaeva street 12, the city is very calm, the people are hospitable and helpful. I liked everything.

Advantages: not a resort town

Disadvantages: bad city beach

Feodosia is the third city we visited after Sudak and Alushta.

It is not a resort at all, let's start with this.

Passes through Feodosia railway path, right almost along the beach)) That is, to get to the beach you need to overcome the railway path.

The embankment of Feodosia is large, tiled, the city beach is pebble and it is very narrow, swimming here and sunbathing is not very good. But if you live nearby, you can go here.

There are also several interesting objects on the waterfront. Monument to Aivazovsky and his gallery, panels of scarlet sails, beautiful fountain near the embankment, a gallery of temporary exhibitions a little further away.

There are also interesting cafes here. I used to like the Homemade Canteen cafe, now it’s not like that anymore, their dishes have deteriorated and prices have risen, everything has become too expensive)) But you can eat, especially since the canteen is located in the premises of a former cool restaurant.

If you go to the dachas (the former dachas of various rich people from the Russian Empire.), you will find a cool shop with pasties on the crossroads.

Their boy or his dad makes them, pasties are so tasty that you can eat three pieces at once, the dough is amazing. I always eat them with cheese and they are the most delicious chebureks I have ever seen.

The Genoese fortress, once encircling the entire city, is now represented only by a couple of towers and ruins, you can also see them.

An interesting object is also the museum of money. So many coins, they walked for two hours, and then I looked at everything in a smart way.

Of the beaches, this golden beach (coastal) is the coolest. Wide beach, red sand, shower, toilet all done.

There are also many wild beaches with stones, for example, before reaching Ordzhonikidze, there are few people there, and there are even nudists.

I like Feodosia because there are no locals here who want to fuck something with you) For example, this is what happens in Simeiz)))

Here many people live here permanently and it pleases, I do not like resort towns. Here you just walk down the street, just enjoy life. Ordinary town. Plus the sea. What could be better?

Advantages: Quiet city for families with children, many attractions, places to go and things to see

Disadvantages: Cheap prices for products

I was still in Crimea in 2012, when it was part of Ukraine, so I think that now it has become even more civilized there. The city can be easily reached by bus from nearby cities. Feodosia itself is calm and great for families with children, the city has several beaches. There are no problems with housing, there are hotels, many residents renting rooms, at home, my friend and I personally rented a room in a house near the bus station, the price is absolutely acceptable and it was convenient to get to the beach, during the day you can go on excursions to the significant places of Feodosia, it's easy to do thanks to the guides who are not far from the bus station, you can sign up for an excursion in advance, I recommend visiting Ai-Petri.

There are many cafes on the beach where you can sit during the day and dance to a special show program in the evening.

In the center there is an amusement park with a variety of attractions from small to large, we especially liked the skyscraper, where you rise slowly up and drop sharply down, it takes your breath away and you can see the whole city from a height at a glance.

A large number of cafes for evening pastime and museums for daytime self-development.

Advantages:

• great beautiful beaches
• exciting atmosphere
• beautiful sea
• a lot of different cafes
• convenient location

I was in Feodosia last year, so the memories are still quite fresh) I arrived there in mid-July, in the high season, but it was not difficult to find a room. in all resort towns) Accommodation is not very expensive, but not cheap either, be prepared)) Anyway, I advise you to take more money - the resort, after all, there are temptations everywhere) First of all, we went to the beach. The beach in Feodosia is free and clean , really crowded. An interesting feature of Feodosia is the railway that runs literally along the embankment) But you quickly get used to it)

How to visit Feodosia and not go to the Aivazovsky Museum? That's right, no way))) The museum made a huge impression - it's gorgeous! The paintings are simply amazing with their beauty and scale. I was surprised by the talent of Aivazosky! He was really talented, that's right, with a capital letter)

And now the promised advice: there is a castle outside the city - go there!) The visit is free, since the castle has not been restored - but that's the whole point) The place is so atmospheric and beautiful - it literally breathes the spirit of history, the imagination draws pictures of the siege and battles) And this I have a girl who is not interested in history) And what will happen to those who are fond of it!)

Advantages:

• very exciting

Disadvantages:

• not European standard

When I began to earn money on my own for my existence (at the age of 15), then I accordingly had a great desire to relax, after hard work on weekdays. visit Black Sea coast I somehow never wanted Russia, but the Black Sea coast of Ukraine has always drawn me, maybe deep roots make themselves felt.

Since there is direct flight Moscow - Feodosia, transfers in the first couple scared me a lot. That's why I went there on my first trip. The city is located on the very coast of the Black Sea. Fairly clean, although a little refurbishment of its buildings could do with it. True, in the season at sea there is absolutely nowhere to lie down and pamper your bones. Swimming and sunbathing had to go to the nearest village of Primorsky.

Night walks around the city are surprisingly romantic, the main thing is not to get lost. I advise everyone to visit the restaurant " The Golden Fleece", well, just very excellent cuisine and very affordable prices. In the afternoon, in the midday heat (or in the dusk of the night), you can take a boat trip on a boat, visit museums, of which there are a huge number and they are all located not far from the sea. Describe this wonderful the city can be for a long time, so I advise everyone to just visit it and relax and better "savages" and economically and a lot of impressions.

Crimean Maldives)) Feodosia is a city with the most clean beaches covered with fine shell sand. Especially the "Golden Beach" of Feodosia - here the beach and the sea are so clean that you can see every pebble at the bottom!

"Golden Beach" evokes thoughts of the chic Maldivian beaches - so wide, sandy, comfortable! You can lie on the sand even without a blanket))

Rested with my family in Feodosia this summer. Nice resort town with everything you need. At first we settled in a cottage near the sea, but after living there for several days we realized that we did not have enough money to live there for another 2 weeks. We bought a local classifieds newspaper and started looking for other, more budget-friendly accommodation. We found a 2-room apartment near the city center at a reasonable price (1.5 times cheaper than the original version). Although it was far from the sea, it did not frighten us, since we were by car. So if you want to find inexpensive housing, then you should not look for it near the sea, drive deep into the city, there are a lot of good options.

On the central beach usually very crowded, sometimes it was impossible to find a normal place. I decided to drive a little further east and look for more secluded beaches. We found a beautiful bay where there was no one, and we rested there for the last week. This is very beautiful place, it will especially appeal to lovers of solitude and tranquility.

Another little tip - choose housing in houses where there are no cafes or restaurants on the ground floors. In the center of the city, almost all the first floors of the houses were occupied by various cafes that are open until the morning. I don’t even know how people sleep there at night, the music plays all the time. If you have small children, then you should look for accommodation away from all this resort fuss.

Advantages:

Only pluses, the sea and mountains.

Disadvantages:

There are no such!

Details

The city is just wonderful, I love it since childhood. Firstly, it is very convenient because you can get here both by bus (there is a bus station) and by train, even by plane (the airport is 120 km away), especially by car (there are no traffic jams in the city even in summer).

Secondly, the city will delight lovers of both sea ​​recreation, there are both sea cruises, and diving, windsurfing, etc., as well as mountain lovers and hiking, even for fans of extreme recreation there will be something to do (10 km away is the well-known Mount Klementieva) where you can paragliding, hot-air balloon, airplane and even if you want to jump with a parachute. As for the entertainment night program, there is simply a wonderful choice for every taste, color and mood. So I recommend this beautiful, wonderful city to everyone. Have a good rest everyone.

Advantages:

Lots of entertainment, sea, sun, beach.

Disadvantages:

distance.

Good afternoon! Today I want to tell you about our vacation in the city of Feodosia. This was my first trip to the sea. Everything was as usual, we bought tickets and on the appointed day, took our seats on the bus. We drove for about a day. Along the way, we made several stops, mostly at the planned places.

We went in August, it was terribly hot, the air conditioner did not work. We drove about 2000 thousand kilometers. We crossed five regions: Kaluga, Tula, Oryol, Kursk and Belgorod. All this time we had a very friendly and pleasant woman-guide.

By the way, we ended up at the border at night, we really wanted to sleep. Instead, you had to get off the bus, take your luggage and go through customs.

When we got to our stop, the son of the hotel owner arrived almost immediately after us, loaded our luggage and we drove off. There were four of us, my husband sat in the front seat, and I and two other tourists in the back. It was very crowded, it was good that it was not far to go.

We stayed at the Maria Hotel. Our number was on the third, most top floor. On the first day, we were badly burned. The small window at the top of the room didn't get enough fresh air, and we used the air conditioner. On the second day of our vacation, we got sick and went to the pharmacy. True, we quickly recovered, probably it was an adaptation to the new climate. The room had a large bed, an armchair, a refrigerator, a TV and a table, as well as a shower and a toilet.

Since we lived on the top floor, and the kitchen was on the first floor, it was inconvenient to run back and forth with pots. The sea was 5 minutes walk. There was a lot of entertainment, but most of all we liked one cafe, and we often spent evenings there. It was also possible to visit the water park, excursions, sail on a steamboat.

By the way, we visited two excursions, it was very interesting. I will also tell about them in another review.

Until we meet again!!!

Feodosia is located in the southeastern part of Crimea and includes the settlements of Beregovoye, Primorsky, Koktebel, Kurortnoye, Shebetovka, Ordzhonikidze. The city is a kind of boundary between the mountainous and steppe Crimea. The purest sea ​​water, many kilometers of sandy beaches (including a wild beach on Peschanaya Balka outside the village of Primorsky), pebble beaches of Feodosia, Koktebel, Ordzhonikidze - the choice is huge.

The history of Feodosia goes back centuries: it is one of the most ancient cities on Earth. Back in the 6th century BC, the Greeks founded the "God-given" (this is how the name of the city is translated into Russian). Until the 4th century AD. Hellenes lived in Feodosia until it was occupied by the Huns. Since then, Theodosius has been conquered by various tribes, states and empires, experiencing ups and downs. Alans, Romans, Genoese, Khazars, Tatars of the Golden Horde, Turks lived here at different times, leaving their mark on the history and cultural heritage of the city.

In modern Feodosia, architectural monuments of the Middle Ages have been preserved: various fortifications of the Genoese period (fortresses, towers, bridges, walls) of the 13th century, Christian churches of the 14th-15th centuries. As part of the Italian Genoa, Feodosia was renamed Kafu, and in 1475 the city was conquered by the Turks, turning it into a major center of the slave trade. It was here that the captured Slavs were brought and sold in the markets of Kefe (that was the name of the city as part of the Ottoman Empire). The famous Roksolana was sold at one of these markets. An interesting historical fact: the captive girls, who overcame a difficult journey of hundreds of kilometers, were put in order here, giving a “presentation”, by local mineral waters and healing mud.

Climate and ecology of Feodosia

The climate of the city can be attributed to a certain average between the steppe and subtropical: here, unlike the South Coast, lower temperatures are possible in winter. The average annual temperature is positive and is 12 degrees. Summers in Feodosia are hot and dry (especially from mid-July to late August), winters are mild. Snow, if it falls, is not for long, permanent snow cover occurs in severe winters (not every year).

It is noteworthy that the annual number of hours of sunshine in Feodosia is even greater than in Yalta.

A feature of the Feodosiya region is its openness to strong winds from the north and east. And if in summer the winds help to endure the heat, then in winter, given the high humidity of the air, the feeling is not the most pleasant.

The swimming season in Feodosia begins in May and sometimes lasts until November. However, very often the wind from the shore drives warm water. In this case, you can observe a picture when in June the water temperature drops to 13-15 degrees. Saves the Sea of ​​Azov, which is within easy reach of Feodosia.

From the potentially dangerous enterprises, from the point of view of the city's ecology, one can single out the Feodosiya oil depot located at the entrance to the city, as well as the Feodosiya commercial sea port, located in close proximity to the city embankment.

However, the current level of these enterprises gives hope for minimizing possible emissions of pollution into the water area. But still, in the area of ​​the tank farm in summer, you can clearly smell the smell of hydrogen sulfide. The rest of the enterprises, which had a significant impact on the city's ecology earlier, are currently not operating.

Population of Feodosia

The population of the city is about 70 thousand people, and the whole of Great Feodosia - about 105 thousand. Since the mid-90s of the last century, the population has been constantly decreasing due to natural decline.

According to the latest census (2001), 72.2% of Russians lived in Feodosia, 18.8% of Ukrainians, and 4.6% of Crimean Tatars. There are also Belarusians, Armenians, Jews, Moldovans, Greeks, Georgians, Poles, Azerbaijanis and Germans.

Feodosia is a city of pensioners, which is connected, first of all, with the desire of military personnel of pre-retirement age in Soviet times to transfer here and stay to live after retirement.

A large number of branches of all-Union research institutes favorably influenced the development of the city's intelligentsia. Lovely smiling old men and women are found everywhere here. However, the decline of the economy and morality, since the 90s, has had the most deplorable effect on young people. Here you can often find downtrodden drug addicts and petty thieves scurrying through the streets in search of easy money.

Young people receive education mainly in Ukrainian universities (Kharkov is the most popular, because through this city all year round there is a train Feodosia-Moscow), in Simferopol, as well as in local higher educational institutions(polytechnic college, ship engineering college, financial academy is the most popular among commercial universities).

Districts and real estate of Feodosia

In the city itself, several large areas can be distinguished: the center, Morsad, the Crimean massif, the Chelnokova street area, the Simferopol highway area, the Dynamo area, the Garnaev street area, the Bus Station, the Starshinov Boulevard area.

The closer the property is located to the sea and to the developed infrastructure of the city center, the more expensive its cost. The most prestigious apartments are mainly located in the city center and in the Dynamo district. Here the cost of 1 sq. m of housing will cost at least $ 1,000. However, most of the houses here belong to the "Khrushchev", i.e. small apartments. The number of new buildings in the central part of the city and coastal areas is small. The disadvantages of living in the city center include the fact that most of the yards in such houses are walkable with all the ensuing consequences: constant uninvited guests of a dubious appearance, garbage, etc.

More comfortable layouts are located in the Crimean massif and along Starshinov Boulevard. The infrastructure is quite developed, but the remoteness from the sea and the central part of the city make this housing a little less attractive. Here, the average cost of housing is $ 900.

In more remote areas from the center, you can find apartments cheaper.

The "Chelnoki" array is not very popular due to many factors: remoteness from the city center, proximity to the city dump, poor developed infrastructure. Housing prices here are about $700 per square meter.

Coastal represents locality with a predominance of private low-rise buildings (there are several high-rise buildings, but they look like such savages, surrounded by private houses and boarding houses). The cost of housing in this case depends on the proximity land plot to the sea (on the first line, 1 weave can reach 15-20 thousand dollars) and the comfort of the house itself (here, as they say, there is no limit to perfection).

The undoubted advantage of Beregovoe is the proximity of the sea, clean air. The disadvantages include: the proximity of the Kerch-Simferopol highway, poor infrastructure, lack of central sewage.

Seaside

This workers' settlement, whose main enterprise is shipyard"More" has in its arsenal a fairly large multi-storey housing stock. An apartment here will cost an average of $800 per square meter. m. A more economical option can be purchased in the "Tower" area (a former closed military camp), here the cost of 1 square. m is about 600 dollars.

The proximity of the sea, good infrastructure makes this village quite attractive for summer holiday. However, in winter it is “boring” here: a very weak sports and entertainment base.

Seaside village. Photo by iris79 (http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/iris79/)

Many people love Koktebel, so real estate here is not cheap. Expensive houses and boarding houses are slowly replacing the old modest houses. There are also multi-storey new buildings offering 1 sq. m at a price of $ 850 (without finishing), and more expensive luxury apartments at prices up to $ 2,000 per square.

A very popular village, both for recreation and for living. The disadvantages include bad roads in its non-central part, problems with water, lack of central sewerage in private buildings.

Twitter

There are few multi-storey buildings here, they are not located very close to the sea. The cost of 1 sq. m will cost about 700-750 dollars.

Main problem local residents multi-storey buildings - this is poor water supply.

Ordzhonikidze

You can become a resident of this quiet, cozy village by purchasing housing that costs from $1,000 per square meter. A cozy boathouse right on the seashore will cost more - from $ 1,400 per 1 sq.m.

Despite the very good location of the village (proximity to the city, beautiful mountain landscape, clean air), the problems here are the same as elsewhere: water shortages, poor social infrastructure.

Thus, the cost of housing in Feodosia is relatively high (despite the rather low income of the local population), which is naturally associated with the status of the city and its location: there are quite a lot of people who want to buy real estate in resort town.

Infrastructure of the city of Feodosia

As for any city of Crimea, the issue of water supply is very relevant for Feodosia. And if for many modern cities of Ukraine, turning off water for half a day is a catastrophe of a national scale, then in Crimea, a planned, and often unplanned, lack of water for two or three days is a completely ordinary phenomenon, especially in summer.

Moreover, if in Feodosia itself water is supplied around the clock, then the suburbs are less fortunate: here water is supplied according to the schedule. For example, in Primorsky, this schedule in winter is as follows: 2 hours in the morning, 1 hour in the afternoon and 2 hours in the evening. In the summer, the lunch water supply is completely cut. Many residents have adapted to this inconvenience by installing storage tanks for water in apartments or on roofs. There is no hot water either in the city or in the suburbs, so people use electric boilers or gas water heaters.

The roads in Feodosia on the central streets of the city are quite tolerable, they are regularly repaired before the summer season. As for the less “lucky” outskirts of the city, everything is as usual here: no one “notices” potholes and pits.

There is a bus station in Feodosia: you can get to any Crimean city on fairly comfortable minibuses.

Traffic jams for Feodosia are a rarity, but in the summer such a picture can often be observed at the entrance to the city: on the Kerch-Simferopol highway, when a large stream of railway tanks goes towards the oil depot.

The railway station is open all year round, but in summer there are much more trains, which is not very comfortable for the city embankment: the branch line runs 5-10 m from it. Built over 100 years ago by the famous artist Aivazovsky, it was clearly not designed for such traffic in a quiet coastal town of that time. Many vacationers note this fact as negative: few people like to lie on the beach under the noise of constantly arriving (leaving) trains.

There are 23 schools on the territory of Great Feodosia, 11 of which are in Feodosia itself. There are specialized schools with in-depth study of French, English, and mathematics.

At the moment, there is an acute issue with preschool institutions: kindergartens are overcrowded. This is primarily due to the fact that during the decline in the birth rate, starting from the end of the 90s, many gardens were closed and then sold to commercial establishments. Now the situation with the birth rate has improved, and there is nothing to build new gardens.

Businesses and work in Feodosia

The most "tasty" enterprises for potential applicants are the oil depot and the seaport. These two flagships are famous not only for the development of the city's economy, they are also among the hundred most profitable enterprises in Ukraine. Getting a job there is both prestigious and profitable: here the highest salaries and good social conditions. However, not everyone can get there, the city is small and specialists are found among friends and relatives.

At the very least, the once prosperous tobacco, hosiery, furniture and offset factories, factories: mechanical, state-owned optical, ship mechanical, Stroydetal, a building materials plant, and the More plant are also functioning. However, work on them is intermittent, from order to order.

The most demanded (judging by the vacancies) work of sales representatives in the alcohol, tobacco and food sectors. The number of vacancies increases with the onset of the summer season, because. additional outlets open only in summer. The same applies to cooks, waiters, bartenders, sellers, maids, the demand for which is very high in summer. You have to work day and night, practically without days off. However, during the off-season, many have to "tighten their belts", because. finding a job is not easy.

With the onset of autumn, the construction of private mini-hotels is activated, which gives work to people with the appropriate qualifications.

Crime

Compared to the dashing nineties, modern Feodosia can be called a calm city from the point of view of criminals. Those who used to take money from merchants in the bazaar and in cafes put on business suits instead of leather jackets and went to power. Petty thieves and drug addicts remained on the street, spoiling the lives of themselves and people from “walker to walker”.

However, in the summer, with the influx of vacationers, the so-called "tourists" also come here. It was at this time that the number of thefts and murders increased.

The criminal history of Feodosia was added to another entry in the summer of 2013, when the mayor of Feodosia Alexander Barteniev was shot at the entrance of his house. The killer was never found, the main version is a robbery. However, given the criminal past of the late mayor, as well as the style of doing business in the city, no one denied the possibility of contract killings. By the way, the murder of Bartenyev is the fifth in a series of murders of Crimean mayors in recent years.

In March 2013, a resonant accident occurred in Feodosia: at high speed, the driver of a “passenger car” (an SBU employee) rammed an ambulance that was rushing to the hospital with a serious patient. The accident killed a doctor and paramedic. The patient's father was badly injured. The SBU officer was found not guilty, the case was hushed up, and the killer, who, most likely, was simply drunk, was transferred to serve further in Simferopol.

In May 2008, Feodosia was stirred up by a high-profile incident: a 32-year-old driver, who had his license taken away and his car sent to a penalty area, set fire to the local traffic police department. During the extinguishing of the fire, 8 traffic cops were injured, including the head of the traffic police, who received serious burns. The driver himself died on the spot. Whether the traffic cop was right, who took the driver's license away, is hard to say. However, police arbitrariness in the city takes place.

Sights of Feodosia

Feodosia is rich in architectural monuments and natural beauties. With the advent of the railway in 1892, the elite of Tsarist Russia began to actively explore the city. Pushkin, Chekhov, Griboedov, Gorky, Mandelstam have been here. The entire first line by the sea was built up with dachas, the most famous of them and perfectly preserved to this day is the dacha of Stamboli.

Another famous resident of Feodosia is Alexander Grin. The author spent the last 6 years of his life in this city. The house he settled in is now a museum.

A favorite place for tourists is the Genoese citadel, still preserved on the Quarantine Hill. This building, built back in the 13th century by the Italians and serving to protect and defend the city, was used during the Ottoman Empire for a 40-day quarantine of slaves. And in tsarist Russia, Muslim pilgrims passing through Feodosia to Mecca were quarantined here.

Here on Quarantine is one of the oldest churches - the Church of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God, its construction dates back to the 14th century.

The fortification tower of the barbican and the tower of St. Constantine, built in the Ottoman period and perfectly preserved to this day, are of historical interest.

And of course, speaking of Feodosia, one cannot fail to mention such a pearl as Koktebel. This is a special corner of Crimea with its own history and unique charm. The grandeur of the beauty of this village fascinates even at the entrance to it, when the whole panorama opens up with stunningly beautiful mountains and bays. The modern summer Koktebel is strikingly different from the once bohemian village: a motley audience, crowds of people, noisy companies walking until the morning, a nudist beach very close to the main one, an embankment built up with countless tents, cafes, shops. But even such a "Shanghai" Koktebel does not scare away its many fans.

On the territory of Koktebel there is a biostation with a dolphinarium, the Karadag nature reserve, the famous Koktebel wine and cognac factory, a water park, and the Voloshin house-museum.

Well, the main visiting card of the village, no doubt, is dormant volcano Karadag and the famous rock - the Golden Gate.

Feodosia is one of the most famous cities of Crimea. The city is ancient, founded in the 6th century BC. e. Greeks! Like this. It has richest history, is frequently mentioned in the literature. Feodosia gave us the great marine painter Ivan Aivazovsky. In general, the city is not simple.

But once Theodosius was very unlucky. In 1892, a railway, and a few years later the port. Since 100 years ago no one thought about what could come out of the city good resort, then the piece of iron was laid in the simplest way - along the embankment! Today, the most valuable, beautiful part of the city is cut by the railway. Here's what it looks like:

Horror. And it is not clear what to do with it. It is impossible to close the road - it goes to the port. Moving it to another location would be hellishly expensive. In such cases, sometimes the railway is buried underground, but this is also expensive and it is not clear whether it is technically possible to do this on the shore.

Feodosia has had to be cut by the railway for more than 100 years. Too bad it's a good city.

01. The station is now empty, trains almost do not run.

02. And earlier it was possible to come to Feodosia from Moscow.

13. EdRa office. Barbarians installed air conditioners on the historical building. Should barbarians be expected to respect the city? I don't think.

14. The embankment is cut by the railway into two parts. This is the upper part, then a piece of iron goes behind the bushes, then another embankment.

15. Beautiful palaces and estates are located here, which are now captured by merchants.
