Why is Evpatoria good and is it worth having a rest there in the summer of 2021? Look at the current reviews of tourists about Evpatoria. Find out what vacationers think about the sea, beaches, prices and activities at the resort.
Impressions from Evpatoria
Evpatoria is often called a resort province. In a seaside town, it may seem that time has gone back 20-30 years. You will not find large shopping centers and Russian ATMs; not everywhere are they serviced with bank cards. There are many private houses in Evpatoria with an attached second floor. In summer, locals rent out rooms to tourists.
The old part of the resort is picturesque and well-maintained. Fresh, cozy and beautiful! All around are green streets and squares. It's nice to walk around Evpatoria at any time of the year!
Leto89: "The city of Evpatoria is cozy and quiet. Life here boils only in summer, in the hot season. Of course, there is nothing much to do in winter, you can just walk and admire the city. If you are an unpretentious person, not spoiled by trips to foreign resorts, then you are in Crimea like it. "
Is it expensive to rest in Evpatoria
The farther from the southern coast of Crimea, the lower the prices! This golden rule works one hundred percent in Evpatoria. Products, including seasonal fruits and vegetables, are cheaper than on the South Coast, but more expensive than in Novofedorovka and Chernomorskoye. Many local fruits are sold in the markets of Yevpatoria at quite reasonable prices. Crimean cosmetics are also inexpensive.
Housing is cheaper than in Yalta. According to reviews, during a vacation in Evpatoria in high season, a double room with a mini-kitchen can be rented for 800-1200 rubles, and a private house for a company of 5-7 people - for 5000 rubles.
It is difficult to find housing in Crimea because of the sanctions, but there are still several convenient services. Look for hotels on Hotellook, and private accommodation on Daily. Do not trust the ads on Avito and similar sites. Book accommodation in Crimea only on reliable services with real photos and reviews of tourists, so as not to get a pig in a poke.
Lenok96: "In general, it is expensive, but the service is not very good. The Fresh supermarket is a little cheaper. Fruits and vegetables are cheaper on the collective farm market. Milk, 1 liter - 70 rubles, drinking water, 5 liters - 70 rubles, whole chicken - 120 rubles for 1 kg ".
What is the sea and beaches in Evpatoria
One of the main advantages of the resort is a good sandy coast and a shallow, well-heated, clean sea. Admission to the municipal beaches is free. According to reviews, in 2020, they paid 100-150 rubles for sun loungers in Evpatoria. Tourists complain that there are a lot of people on the City Beach. There are changing rooms, but no toilets.
Many people like the paid Cote d'Azur beach, which is located at the terminus of minibus No. 10. The entrance costs 30 rubles. This beach has a gentle entrance to the water, a flat sandy bottom, inflatable slides and attractions. Dolphins sometimes swim up to the shore.
Not everyone liked the service and water activities on the beaches of Evpatoria.
Eleha040984: "On every corner there are a bunch of sellers of dubious goods such as pies, shrimp and corn. In the sea, almost every meter of entertainment -" bananas "," plates ". Swimming is really scary. Scooters and motor boats fly like on a highway."

Holidays with children in Evpatoria
Evpatoria is a children's health resort, there are many sanatoriums. People come to the resort for climatotherapy and mud therapy.
The city is built on a plain, so it is convenient to walk with a stroller. In Evpatoria, there are pharmacies, shops selling baby food and formula. There are playgrounds in the courtyards.
The beaches are only sandy, the sea is shallow, and the entrance is shallow - ideal for young children! For swimming with kids, parents recommend the beaches "Solnechny", "Rodnichok", "Solaris", "New" and "Golden Sands".
According to vacationers, there is something to do with children in Evpatoria: to see the models of Crimea's sights and statues of cartoon characters, go to the Miniature Park with your child. Explore the petting zoo, aquarium, Dinopark, dolphinarium, and amusement parks. Families with children are very pleased with the U Lukomorya and Banana Republic water parks, the Pirates of the Black Sea museum and the trip on the Desire Tram.
But the resort is not suitable for sightseeing trips with children - it is too far from the South Coast rich in sights.
lenapehotova: "There are many young and not so families with children. If you are traveling with only one child, do not worry, he will not get bored there, he will definitely find a company."
Interesting or boring at the resort
Evpatoria is an ancient city, and many historical monuments and temples of different denominations have been preserved in it - the Orthodox Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, a mosque, a synagogue and a complex of Karaite kenasas. There are archaeological sites near the resort. To get acquainted with the past of Evpatoria, follow the excursion route "Small Jerusalem"!
In the reviews, vacationers are advised to go from Evpatoria on excursions to Sevastopol, to the reserved Cape Tarkhankut, to Yalta, Bakhchisarai and to the cave cities of Crimea. Prices for guided bus trips start at 1000 rubles.
We strongly recommend going to the stunning Tarkhankut: there you will see the white cliffs of the coast, a sunken cargo ship, a lonely lighthouse, the Cup of Love, the beautiful Miami beach and the Dzhangul landslide coast. To do this, it is better to rent a car or go by your own car, because the bus from Evpatoria to Olenevka takes about 5 hours, and the road is tiresome. It is better to stay there for 1-2 nights. Read our review article about Tarkhankut.
Loreleya w: "I especially liked the embankment in the evening. Shows with fire, live music, theatrical performances at the fountains. There are many tourists walking around. And the sea is nearby! Evpatoria is romantic in the evening."
When is the best time to go
Evpatoria is surrounded by salty estuaries and is famous for its mild healing climate. Everyone who comes here notes that acclimatization is easy and unnoticeable. Winters at the resort are mild, there are no strong winds. The beach season starts in mid-May and lasts until early October. The largest influx of tourists is in July and August.
It is believed that the sea in Evpatoria and Feodosia is warmer than in other resorts of Crimea.
sveta202: "We arrived in May. It was very green, peaches were blooming. We don't see this beauty in the city. There are many birds - nightingales, starlings. We really liked it."
Mousetrap: "In the second half of June, it's summer-summer here: it's warm, even sultry. The sea is shallow and it is believed that it warms up quickly, but it seemed to me a little cool."
Reviews about Evpatoria: we draw conclusions
The Crimean resort is suitable for lovers of peace and quiet rest by the sea. According to the reviews of vacationers, Evpatoria liked everyone who is interested in the historical past of Crimea. Infrastructure, entertainment, mild climate and wide sandy beaches are good for families with children in the summer of 2021.
At the peak of the season, as elsewhere in Crimea, there are a lot of people, and on the beaches you have to fight for a place in the sun. It is pleasant to relax at the resort, but you should not expect perfect service, super cleanliness and other attributes of overseas luxury.
