I hope we never have to go there again.
There is no beach, almost the entire coast is lined with restaurants, cafes, etc. The already short coast is divided into parts (20-40 meters each) by various bases, only vacationers from the corresponding bases can go to this beach. Accordingly, there are more people on those free patches of land than jellyfish near the coast during the breeding season. In general, the sea view is so-so. Housing. It is, there is a lot of it. It is expensive, but can be found with air conditioning and other amenities, but anyone will have to climb a decent hill to get to it, although for some it is not so bad. Prices. Prices are like in Moscow, sometimes more expensive. Most surprised by the prices of fruits. It seemed that in the Crimea, on the contrary, they should be cheaper, but what the hell. But two things can be considered the biggest disadvantage: garbage cans standing every 50 meters fragrant in 40-degree heat and sewers along the edges of almost all roads in many places with the corresponding smell. Of course, you can’t scold the costs of civilization: garbage dumps and sewers are necessary there, but they are everywhere and they stink ((
The second big minus: this year due to the "fire situation" almost all excursions were closed. I had to spend the rest of my vacation either at home or in the sea, teeming with people about the same as on the beach. There is NO WHERE to walk in Gurzuf. There is nothing to see there either. Chekhov's dacha. Cool. And that's all. And mountains somewhere in the distance. That's all there is to see. And hundreds of merchants, shops, restaurants and stalls with the same souvenirs. In general, the only plus: polite and friendly local people.
In general, in short, Gurzuf is very crowded, expensive and not interesting.
