We arrived at the hotel after a week's rest in Alupka at the Dream by the Sea hotel. At the station in Alushta, a taxi driver stole us, assuring us that we would not get to Semidvorye on our own, since this is the "Dark cockroach"! Okay, let's go. Barely barely bargained to 150 hryvnia. The drive was less than 15 minutes! Upon arrival at the hotel, it turned out that minibuses go from Alushta to the Morskoy boarding house and back, I don’t remember the exact price, about 15 hryvnias.
For those who are going to Semidvore, I advise you to familiarize yourself with the schedule of minibuses:
Departure from Morskoye: 9:00.12:00.15:40.
Departure from Alushta: 8:30.11:30.15:10.19:30.
From Alushta, the minibus leaves from the intersection of Lenin-Gorky, the landmark is the market.
There is also a bus from the boarding house Semidvorya, well, also as an option to get to the city.

We rested 7 days in the Beach building and 1 day in the Club building. In the Beach we were settled on the 5th floor, there is no elevator, the staircase is steep, circular. It's hard to get up after a day in the sun or a half-day excursion, even for us young people, let alone older people.
The room corresponded to the descriptions on the site, very large, the bed is an airfield! I was very upset by the lack of a shower cabin, instead of it there was an ordinary tile tray and a curtain. Naturally, after taking a shower, the entire bathroom is flooded with water. The first morning there was no hot water! At all! Closer to dinner, the water began to appear. Also all 7 days sooo strained the electrical panel, which for some reason is in the room! He buzzes like crazy, woke up at night from his noise!
Cleaning every day, towels changed every day. The towels are white, which is scary to dry yourself with, because there is a price tag on the closet with the cost of a damaged towel. If a spot is found on a snow-white towel, you will be forced to lay out hard-earned money. The same story with bed linen. By the way, there is no bedspread, the bed is covered with a tiny blanket, so it will not be difficult to get your clothes dirty!
Meals are not included in the cost of living, so there are 3 options: eat at local cafes and go broke, eat on your own in the room (you get a maximum salad) or the third option, the most optimal one, is to go to a cafe near the dining room in the boarding house Semidvorye, where you can spend 100 hryvnias together overeat.
The beach is more or less good, but you need to take a sunbed from 6 hours. We were unlucky, there were a lot of jellyfish, but when they didn’t come, the water was clear, it was nice to swim, a lot of crabs.

There is little nature on the territory, there are, of course, planted flowers, but all the beauty of the southern coniferous trees is located in the Semidvore boarding house, the air is wonderful there! Be sure to go to a boarding house, of course it is of the Soviet type, but it is very quiet there. On the territory of four hotels there is a constant buzz! The situation is better near the Park and Club buildings. I really regretted that I didn’t buy a ticket to the Club building. We were lucky enough to stay there overnight. The room itself is 2 times smaller than the room in the Beach building, but much more comfortable! And the price per day is less. The bathroom has a shower, mirror lighting, bidet. Very cozy balcony with a good dryer. By the way, in the Beach building, there was a kind of dryer screwed to the wall of a piece of iron, which every now and then wanted to fall off...
There are 3 shops on the territory with 3 times increased prices!! ! They also sell fruits near the bus stop. Fruit is exorbitant, but people bought it.
Summing up, I’ll say that I don’t want to come to Hellas a second time! Honestly, it would be more pleasant to relax in the old Soviet boarding house Semidvorye!
