Хорошо в Алупке летом! Good in Alupka in the summer!

Hello everyone. I had a chance to relax a little in Alupka, namely in Arzamas. First about the hotel. My family and I liked everything (the family rested for 10 days, I got three days) and everything worked out. The water is hot and cold all the time, the air conditioner works, there is a TV and a refrigerator (large). garbage. about ten minutes on foot slowly from the center, but there is no loud noise from the taverns. In Alupka, we met a woman from Belarus, so she just almost cried, she lived near the "Tropics" and there is always a party in the evening, the music yells all over Alupka, says that it’s impossible to sleep at night. So everything is fine with the location near Arzamas, it’s quiet, calm, cars don’t drive under the hotel, the center and shops are nearby. And as for the shortcomings of Arzamas, we didn’t look for them, we tried to spend less time in the room.
Now about Alupka. I really liked the town itself, narrow crooked streets, old houses, palm trees on the streets, above the city of Ai-Petri. But the first impression when I got to the city was chaos on the roads in the center, but then I got used to it. (I was driving from Simferopol to private minibus-taxi to the bus station for 75 UAH, driving approx. , 2.5 hours)
The city is more or less clean, but sometimes there were heaps of garbage. (But mostly it is the fault of the tourists themselves, throw an empty bottle, garbage on the ground, and not bring it to the trash can)

About shops - everything, in principle, is on sale, the prices are quite normal for a resort in the summer. About pubs, there were several, the average bill (with alcohol) for three adults plus a child is 500 UAH. As for the beach, we swam mainly on Lazurny, from Arzamas through Vorontsovsky Park for about 20-25 minutes.
I read before the trip that Alupka is difficult continuous descents and ascents to the beaches, but I personally don’t think so, there was nothing tiring. About the sea, it is amazing, very clean, warm, turquoise. In general, just great! As everyone knows, in Alupka there is a Vorontsovsky park and a palace, a very beautiful place, it is especially pleasant to go to the beach and back through the park. . , per person. At the end of the park, the final minibus to Yalta and the Massandra wine store and tasting room.
Also there you can go to the city beach of Alupka, the beach is not bad, there are sun loungers, umbrellas for rent, there are taverns, a slide for descending into the water (5 UAH at a time) The slide on the beach is just super, while flying to the water it became a little scary, but the sea of ​ ​ ​ ​ impressions. To the right of the city beach is a wild beach, you have to go into the water among huge stones, preferably in slippers, but there you can jump from large stones.
We went to the Swallow's Nest, from Alupka by minibus to Yalta from the park for 20 minutes for 5 UAH.
We were also on Ai-Petri, we went there by car at the price of a cable car - 60 UAH per person. (if you get sick, then go better by cable car)
Upstairs there is a large bazaar with souvenirs and other junk and a bunch of taverns with Tatar and other food that is cooked on the street on fire. Shurpa, pilaf - 30 UAH, portion, a glass of wine 10 UAH, barbecue - 45-50 UAH, and much more. Excursion to the cave - 50 UAH, you can also ride horses, quad bikes, camels. If you buy something from souvenirs, then it’s better to walk around the market, look at the prices. The difference for the same thing can reach 30 UAH or more.
We descended back on the cable car, a little scary, very high, 60 UAH, a ticket for an adult. But after lunch, the line was huge, we stood for two hours.

We ate mainly in Magnolia, everything was delicious and normal, we never poisoned ourselves, the average bill for three with the first and second was 150 UAH.
We also wanted to travel around the South Coast, but there was no time, next time.
In general, the rest was a success, we took a bunch of pictures, if I can lay them out.
If you have any questions, I'm ready to answer.
Alupka, Arzamas thanks for the rest!
