My vacation
Hello everyone, I also want to leave my review about Partenit. I'll start from the very beginning: We (me, my sister and girlfriend) decided to have a rest in three and chose Crimea for this. Our trip started on 07/10/2010 and ended on 07/23/2010. We decided to go wild. Arriving in Simferopol, we initially decided that we wanted to Alushta, said / done. Arriving at the bus station, we were simply surrounded on all sides by intermediaries and began, shouting over each other, to offer us hotels. Okay, we agreed to the persuasion of some, we went to look. Keep in mind, if you are going to the South Coast, get ready for constant descents and ascents. We didn’t like the first option, but the second one turned out to be much better, it was a small hotel with a summer kitchen on the ground floor, for three of us they took 3500 hryvnia for 10 days (350 hryvnia per day (1400 in rubles), moreover, immediately. The room is clean " embankment". We had a shock!!!!
In my opinion, the embankment is when I see the sea on one side, and on the other there can be anything, shops, cafes, attractions. In Alushta, this is not so, you go from the side of the sea to cafes, on the other side there are shops, there are so many people that, to be honest, they would be afraid to get lost. We think okay, let it be, but when we came to the beach, the shock was even greater. I can’t call it a beach, a piece of land, it’s not clear what, whether it’s sand, whether it’s pebbles, more like some kind of dirt, there are no places on the beach. The beach itself is five hundred meters long. The same thing on the paid, no sunbeds, nothing... We went further along the embankment, the sea finally opened up to the eye, but everyone spoiled the concrete slabs that go into it every 300 meters. While we were walking with us for 10 minutes, drunken guys tried to meet 6 times, moreover, both Ukrainians and Russians. Do not think that I am such a habalka, I am only 21, but when I went to the sea, I wanted rest, not harassment. In general, the result was one, we collected things, and on the trail. morning we left for Partenit. Moreover, they charged us 700 hryvnia per night, arguing that this is plus cleaning and a commission to intermediaries (although, according to the law, they had no right to do this).
Okay, now about the good, about Partenit. Arriving there, the first surprise awaited us, it was the air, it was amazing, finally we smelled the sea, and not a gassed city, as in Alushta. We again found housing through intermediaries, there are much fewer hotels there, so we were offered an apartment for the same 350 hryvnia per day. It was a two-room apartment, though with carpets on the walls, there was air conditioning, a refrigerator, cable TV, in general, there was no more strength to go to choose something else.
Partenit itself is an urban-type settlement, it houses 2 large sanatoriums / boarding houses "Crimea" and "Aivazovskoye". We lived not far from the Crimea, so we went to the sea there, it took about 20 minutes to go down, but more to the top, because it’s still an ascent. The entrance costs 20 hryvnia (80 rubles), a huge park area, amazing vegetation, a clean beach, and the sea, it was the second pleasant surprise, when you go into the sea, you can see your shadow on the bottom, how clean it was.
We had lunch in cafes on the territory of the sanatorium. In terms of money, I can say that prices in Partenit are slightly more expensive than in Alushta, and more expensive than here in Russia. In Partenit rest mostly families, many children and the elderly. Therefore, if you want a quiet holiday, choose it, you will not regret it.
For questions, write to tell you where it is better to exchange money and I can share some of the phones that we collected there.
