Sevastopol - stands in translation from the Greek word for "magnificent city, the city of Glory". Military facilities and residential quarters of the city are spread out along the shores of 23 bays on the south-west of the Crimean peninsula. Sevastopol Bay is the largest on the Black Sea, and it is assumed that it takes 3rd place in the world in convenience, after Hong Kong and Sydney.

Land of Sevastopol - is a special administrative-territorial unit of Ukraine with a total area of 1,079 km2. Sevastopolians like to emphasize that this is more than the territory of Moscow, New York or Shanghai. But they should be proud of the fact that the area is rather weakly inhabited, most of the area is pristine mountain forests, famous vineyards and orchards.

Geographic boundaries of the land of Sevastopol have the extreme points: the north - Cape Lucullus (44 ° 50 '. N), in the south - Cape Sarich (44 ° 23's. N.), in the east - a mountain forest (33 ° 54'v. etc.), in the west - Cape Chersonese (33 ° 22 'E). Coordinates of the center of the city is the location of the main post office (44 ° 37's. Sh.i 33 ° 31'v. Etc.).

The city area comprises a vast agricultural area, where there are 46 villages and suburban towns (some of them were gradually transformed into resorts and tourist centers), and two small towns - Balaklava and Inkerman, and one urban village - a garrison of naval aviators Kacha.

Sevastopol - is a very big tourist center, big in the sense that you can't see it all during one trip, can not appreciate and can not understand. It is a city of military glory, the land of fishermen and shipbuilders, where through modern technology and technocracy can be seen the traditions of ancient times, finally, is a great seaside resort, which has the unbeatable combination of climatic factors.

Beaches of Southern Coast of Crimea (in the zone of Sevastopol - from the Cape Sarytch to the Cape Fiolent) are in general sandy-pebble. Beaches of the western coast, from Cape Constantine on the North side are sandy, sandy-pebble. They stretch as continuous ribbon to the cliffs of the Cape Tarkhankut, located to the north of Evpatoria. A large part of the coast - 24 km belongs to the area of Sevastopol.

Within the city there are the following beaches: Solnechny (Sunny), Khrustalny (Crystal), Pesochny (Sandy), beach in the Chersonese, beach in Victory Park, "Omega". From listed above, we recommend that you stop your choice on the beach at Victory Park or Chersonesos. This is an informal beach. Rocky shore. Access to the Chersonese reserve costs about 5 UAH. It is clean enough, habitable and crowded at Victory Park.

If you are not confused by a large number of holidaymakers, including children - you can pick "Omega". The beach line is extended, along the coast there are many cafes, bars, water attractions.
For those who like a solitary holiday, there are "wild" beaches. Although in recent years these beaches are very popular, despite the fact that it will get some time to get to such beaches.

You can choose either the beach in "Lyubimovka" (sandy-pebble), a beach in Blue Bay with pebbles and sand islands, a beach "Fiolent" at the foot of St. George Monastery with pebble.

Beach "Uchkuevka" - is the beginning of a wild beach "Lyubimovka" - sand, sea. "Uchkuevka" is good because this beach can be reached by boat from Artbuhta (Art-Bay). There are many cafes, bars and restaurants on the coast. Food is relatively inexpensive, but the beaches are not very comfortable. Be prepared for the fact that sometimes the beach can be quite dirty, as it is cleaned not very often.

Gold and Silver Beach in Balaklava are very popular - sea, sun, mountains with the ruins of Genoa towers are at your disposal. For a modest fee you can ride on a boat, admire the view of Balaklava bay. However, this year the cost of travel to these beaches has jumped sharply due to the conversion of Balaklava in the resort area.
