The best hotels in Evpatoria by the sea for families with children in the Crimea

Evpatoria in the Crimea, like Anapa in the Krasnodar Territory, is considered one of the best children’s health resorts in the country. This is one of the sunniest points of the peninsula. Almost all beaches are sandy, shallow water is often found, which is very convenient for swimming with small children. Evpatoria is a famous balneo-mud resort. Therapeutic mud, natural springs with mineral water, brine a hundred years ago turned the Crimean port into a popular resort hospital. Gradually, the sanatorium and resort area was rebuilt. It is located west of the center of the Old Town and is washed by the waters of the Black Sea along the entire width. On the border of the zone there is a mud lake Moinaki – the main source of therapeutic mud and brine.

Evpatoria is a very green city. Its flora is created by numerous parks, squares, gardens. For vacationers, an infrastructure has been created that connects historical excursions to attractions, entertainment, and recreation. In the summer, several sightseeing tours of Evpatoria are held.

  • the route “Little Jerusalem” or how Evpatoria turned into a “cauldron” of different peoples (with a visit to the medieval fortress of Gezlev);
  • “Modern Evpatoria” – museums, installations, acquaintance with the city and its surroundings.

For children there are many entertainment clubs with games, quests, laser tag. But the following objects are in the greatest demand:
