Today Crimea has become not only a popular topic of conversation, but also the main (after Sochi, of course) object of Russian tourism. Although, it was in the Crimea that they always gave vouchers to the foremost workers of production, both the elite and the entire creative intelligentsia rested there. Feodosia is one of the oldest cities on the peninsula, founded before our era by Greek settlers.
Instructions
Step 1
The history of Feodosia is extremely interesting and rich. Since its inception, it has been conquered eight times. The Greeks, Genoese, Ottomans, and of course the Russians, of course, had the strongest influence on the shape of the city. As in small seaside towns in Europe, narrow cobbled streets and houses with tiled roofs can be seen in the old part of the city. True, the whitewashed houses are the work of native Ukrainians. Administrative buildings and residential high-rise buildings bear the imprint of the Soviet past, but Stamboli's dacha is a clear reference to the times of the Ottoman Empire. This eclecticism gives the city a certain charm. The locals are very welcoming and welcoming.
Step 2
Taxi drivers are fighting for the attention of new arrivals from the station, each of whom will consider it their duty to help with the luggage, take them to a familiar aunt (I rent a room, inexpensively) and tell about where to spend their leisure time. Aunts renting out housing, there is darkness, so first it is better to ask the price and take a closer look, and only then make a choice.
Step 3
There are also plenty of all kinds of boarding houses and sanatoriums in Feodosia. As a rule, they go there to recover their health. Fresh sea air, juniper and salt water perfectly heal respiratory diseases, and blooming magnolias and slender cypresses - Russian blues. Parks and squares, where vacationers often walk, are clean and well-groomed. The city beaches, especially during the high season, are jam-packed with sunbathers and vendors of everything you could want. If you are tired of lying on the beach, the endless number of excursions that are offered right on the street will help you.
Step 4
The most popular are Palaces, the southern coast of Crimea and boat trips. For children there is a Sudak water park and a dolphinarium. If you don't go anywhere, but take a walk around the city, you should definitely visit the ruins of the Genoese fortress, which has become one of the symbols of the city. On the way there you will come across a church dilapidated from time to time, where you can light a candle and ask for advice. On the way back, be sure to check out the Aivazovsky Gallery. The artist was born and raised in Feodosia, and he dedicated his brilliant works to her. Nearby is the Green Museum, and from the end of the building a ship seems to be swaying on the waves, which will take Assol to her prince. By the way, this is another symbol of the city. And the Crimea. There is also a museum of Marina and Anastasia Tsvetaev.
Step 5
In the evening, you can watch a movie, or go to a concert (pop groups of the 80s, comedians and KVN musicians often come there). You can visit a cozy restaurant, appreciating the incomparable Crimean wines, and before going to bed, take a walk along the embankment. At night it completely transforms - musicians, artists, magicians and dancers fascinate with their action. Incense pollen is in the air, and a scattering of all kinds of souvenirs makes your head dizzy. Of course, there are more interesting places in the world and more beautiful cities, but here, inhaling the light aroma of juniper, you really feel at home.
