The bitter truth about the New World.
Good afternoon everyone. I fidgeted for a very long time, should I write a report? Why? Whoever needs it will understand.
I was in the New World from September 10 to 25.2010 with my wife and eldest daughter (3.5 years old).
NEVER GO THERE. Dirty, chebureks are not tasty, expensive, the sea is disgustingly wet and salty, under the third tree on the right lies a century-old dog KAKA, and when it gets dark, at the top of the village, where the “Stone Slab” lies, from which a magical view of the village, the bay and the starry sky opens ( I won’t tell you where it is) people, with a bottle of pink New World champagne in their backpack, generally make love. HORROR ! ! !
ALL to TURKEY, EGYPT, CYPRUS! ! ! IT'S COOL! ! ! And I'm in the Blue Bay suit and with a gun.
It's cool to read in the reviews of many people that the whole vacation was spoiled by "tasteless and expensive chebureks", that "a huge spider lived in our room and I didn't go there anymore" or that "what a horror - imagine, it turns out after 22 zero zero it's impossible to buy anoint the bitten little finger with brilliant green", and "You can only get to a normal beach by boat for big money" and that there are a lot of people on the village beach, and "in July-August I could not even Imagine that it could be so HOT ! ! ! ". and also "NIGHTMARE WHAT'S HAPPENING - in housing for 150 hryvnia one toilet bowl for 12 POPs"
GET HEALTHY! ! !
I am 33 years old and I have never been to any south in my life. I relaxed and fished constantly in Karelia, the Komi Republic, the Subpolar Urals and the Volga-mother from Volgograd to the peals in the Caspian Sea.
Either from Soviet and Russian films, or from photos of friends and acquaintances, but for some reason I developed a persistent disgust and unwillingness to go to the "Soviet" SOUTH (ahh, I realized - from the sight of sweaty bodies on the beaches, stuffed with like seals before breeding). Well, I love rest in wild, quiet and peaceful places - UNITY WITH NATURE, YOU UNDERSTAND. "so I saw some RUSSIAN beauties.
But, unfortunately, the eldest daughter had adenoids of the 2nd degree and everyone recommended and insisted on going to the South. A child is the most precious thing, so I had to take a breath, throw ships with motors and gear into the far corner, spit on a friendly male company, sit down and scratch my turnips - WHERE TO GO THAT? ? ? Promoted large villages such as Anapa, Alushta, Gelendzhik, etc. were swept aside immediately. Without inventing anything better, he stupidly opened a satellite map in Google, began to narrow down the search areas - yeah, planet Earth, yeah Ukraine - yeah there is - Crimea.
I started looking for the greenest place in the pictures, located away from the cities. I CHOOSE - some kind of village - NEW WORLD. He began to rummage through the search engines, what this New World represents. After reading a lot of reviews (both absurd and sane), historical opuses and advertisements, I waved my hand and decided to pull there. I broke the route (I went to AUTO - an all-wheel drive diesel minivan with a transformer interior) Orel-Belgorod-Kharkov-Zaporozhye-Dzhankoy-Nizhnegorsky-Belogorsk-Grushevka-Sudak-New World. I printed out the sailing position (in the absence of a zhpsik (GPS)).
Okay, we've decided on the place. Now where to live? ? ? He began to strain the Internet for boarding houses, sanatoriums, the private sector through some independent intermediaries. For three days, blah, I fought (correspondence and calls) everything I understood: mid-level housing from 300 to 450-500 greens a day from a family. I scored on everything and decided - I'll come to the place, I'll figure it out.
And now the historic day has come - I (can't be !! ! ) GO to the SOUTH! ! ! Arriving on Friday 10.09.
2010 home from work at 17.30, taking v-a-a-n-well and drinking a cup of coffee-f-fa, as usual with my ladies, loading half the apartment (from the pot and the iron to all the available clothes, except for the padded jacket and felt boots) into a poor Japanese woman, on the way, at the insistence of her wife, she stopped at all the passing shops and pharmacies and at 20.30 Moscow time, headlong rolled out of Orel. By the way, the most shitty and, in principle, the only bad piece of road along the entire route is the Kursk region (80 kilometers).
DO NOT GO TO THE NEW WORLD! ! !
I filled a full tank at Lukoil in front of the customs at 19.00 rubles / liter (5 km before the customs), and, yeshkin cat, 2 km before the Rosneft customs at 16.50 per liter. It's a shame, YO-MAYO.
We were at customs at 00.30. There were 3 lines in front of us in each car, 15 each. The Russian posts slipped through in an hour (no one took any money for anything), but got stuck at the Ukrainian posts.
All the confusion and delays are due to the fact that the forms of migration cards and customs declarations are drawn up in Ukrainian and English, and the people chime in and ask the surrounding individuals in the state form what where and how to write (by the way, on the right side after the stall for registration of the migration card there is a stand with samples of forms filled out in Russian, but at night there is no lantern - as I understand it, it’s not casual, part of the people fill out forms for babos and seem to pass without a queue). In short, filling in and stuffing all the papers into the necessary "holes" and paying off a not thin civil servant with a cutlet with bread, two eggs and a tomato (no joke, well, a person wanted to eat), thereby bypassing the inspection of the car at 03.45 left the customs post. Again, you chew, no one asked for any money (official and unofficial), well, they didn’t give it. Before Novomoskovsk, having spread out the seats-bed, we spent the night in the car for 4 hours from 05.00 to 09.00.
00 and drove on. In Militopol we dined in some cozy restaurant. Without wandering anywhere, we reached Dzhankoy and in the village we went left onto the P22 Feodossia highway (I can make a mistake in the figure, memory is to hell). Turning right in Nizhnegorsk, we reached Belogorsk. Before entering Belogorsk, on the left side, there is a very interesting white-yellow limestone massif (hence the name of the city). It is better to take pictures on the way back, the view is amazing. After Belogorsk, we left to the left and to Grushevka, in Grushevka, turn right to Sudak, drove through Sudak following the signs to the New World and after a steep, winding hill of 100 meters, we abruptly jumped onto a serpentine ......I CAME INTO ecstasy! ! !
The winding serpentine is very narrow in places (two cars can hardly disperse) stretches for 6 km from Sudak to Novy Svet at an altitude of 80-100 meters above sea level, on the left there are cliffs in pines and junipers and a blue expanse, on the right overhead are sheer mountain ranges, overgrown with fluffy, like a cloud, pines. Opening my mouth and bulging my eyes at fantastic landscapes, absorbing my wife’s entreaties to look at the road with my left ear, I don’t remember how I myself (actually I don’t like heights - but it wasn’t before that) entered the New World at 19.30. After the road sign "New World" after 200-300 meters, the village bus station (very loudly said - an asphalt penny 20 meters wide) and on the right is the famous Novosvetskaya pine - with the hostesses of the housing, located under it like fallen cones.
Having opened the driver's window, I had to close it due to the fact that the car was covered on all sides by landlords trying to shout down each other and offering housing from A to Z at different prices (12-15 people). After consulting with his wife and opting for the private sector, we put the car in the parking lot and walked dignifiedly and stately to choose housing. By the way, the village that along, that across can be walked in 10 minutes on foot and drunk. First housing: 2-room part of the house, cold-hot water all the time, completely autonomous with a parking lot for a car (soviet repair, dark yard) - 300 hryvnas per day. , then the second: part of a large country house "finished" with a blockhouse - an autonomous kitchen, a room, a common veranda, water all the time - 400 hryvnias, let's go further, near the market, the second point of landlords - a man with a cardboard box "I will RENT HOUSING IN NATURE" is sitting. I approach, I ask, how much is housing in kind? 200 greens. What it is?
Let's go and see - at the top of the village, closer to the entrance, there is a natural garden with a large trailer, divided into 2 parts. One part is already occupied, offers the second (shower on the street, toilet on the street, shared kitchen on the street). No thanks, good luck to you, live here yourself.
It's getting dark. The wife is tired, Offers to stop at the first option. Verbally agree, mentally - NO. We approach the car, I say: "Sit here, I'm right now. " I go up to a pine tree, a woman is standing, modestly offering housing nearby for 300 hryvnas. Let's go look. I look, I ask, I nod my head, they say, wait, we build a nest with you. We check in at 20:30.
THIS IS A HORROR, NOT A REST! ! !
So housing. 100 meters from the bus station in a straight line down to the sea in the center of the juniper park, not on the through streets, so that we did not see people. A closed, fairly large courtyard, all in flowers and greenery, in the middle of the courtyard there is a huge juniper with a diameter in the trunk of 50 centimeters and a height of 10 meters. The house is 2-storey, located in the courtyard with the letter "P".
The house has 5 one-room fully autonomous apartments. The owners live in one of them - husband, wife, daughter, 14 years old and grandmother - God's dandelion, mother of the hostess. By our arrival, only one on the ground floor was free (and it turned out to be the best one). In front of the entrance to the apartment, a meter from the door, there is a wonderful gazebo 2.5x2.5 meters, overgrown with grapes, on which a very curious praying mantis lived all season long, in the center of which there is a table, well made from a 19th century openwork cast-iron sewing machine "Zinger" and 4 plastic coca -kola chairs. On the table is a candlestick with a candle end. Further from the yard immediately to the kitchen: The kitchen is 3x2.5 meters simple but tastefully renovated, tiled on the floor, a cutting table with a modern set and a lot of dishes from pans to glasses for vodka and cognac. Two-burner gas stove with balloon gas, sink, built-in refrigerator, dining table and chairs.
Bedroom - Venetian plaster, carpet, built-in lights, air conditioning, a huge 2x2 bed plus a sofa for the 3rd person (where the child slept comfortably in the future) TV for cable TV, well, something like a chest of drawers under the TV. The windows in the kitchen and in the bedroom are large, with half a wall, double-glazed windows. Shower, washbasin, toilet joint - renovation, tiles, plastic panels. in short, the whole apartment is clean and well-groomed with a modern renovation. As for water - an autonomous boiler, water from the central network, so for the entire vacation, regardless of the time of day, we always had water, both hot and cold, which did not smell of any hydrogen sulfide. Sewerage is also under the central network. As for the sewerage, the hostess said that the central sewerage is pumped into Sudak through pipes along serpentine (I saw pipes), it’s not for nothing that people from Sudak come to swim in the New World.
Drinking water was bought from the hostess for 25 hryvnias for a 20-liter bottle of purified water (for information in the store, 12 hryvnias for a 5-liter eggplant). The only disadvantages for housing that I noticed: there are no mosquito nets on the windows (but there was a master raptor), and there is no sealant on the front door - at night with a slight wind the door rumbled, but this problem was solved by a "fly" - they inserted a paper wedge and EVERYTHING! ! ! Well, yes, the cricket lived in the toilet, so what? but it was not boring to spend time thinking about the sublime. In the center of the yard there was another common stone pavilion with a fireplace-barbecue in which a lot of shish kebab was eaten and various excesses were drunk with neighbors-Belarusians-Russians-Ukrainians. There is also parking up to the yard for 1 car. The yard is closed on all sides by a park, and even when the wind was walking along the tops of the green age-old giants, it was quiet and calm in the yard.
Well, housing is over.
No, I forgot, from the house to the village beach 400 meters, no more (7 minutes of walking with a naughty child along a paved road through a juniper park).
THE WORSE PLACE I HAVE NEVER SEEN! ! !
The whole village is located in a mountain horseshoe, immersed in juniper and pine trees, Mount Koba-Kaya on the right, Sokol on the left, behind the ridge that connects these mountains. A well-maintained promenade with white balusters and a wide variety of cafes and a small clothing market, several slopes to the beach. Speaking of the beach: the length is 300 meters long, 10-15 meters wide, sand with small pebbles, the entry into the sea is calm, you can walk 40 meters from the shore into the water on foot, the water is very clean, without a large number of coastal jellyfish, the sea periodically throws seaweed on the shore to the right or left side of the beach, but during the day they are removed and taken out. Someone wrote in the reviews that they paid money for entry in 2010. Foolishly, you can overeat bread.
With us, no one asked for money from anyone, and moreover, in the center of the beach under the embankment there is a 1x1 meter stand with the announcement “Dear vacationers - they say the public beach is free and for all questions related to collecting money for being on the beach, please inform the administration at telephone such and such. Yes, there are a lot of people, but you need to make an effort to find a place in the ass during the day, but the first 2 days of our vacation always found it.
The village itself is very clean, every 30 meters there are decent trash cans everywhere, and now and then uncles snoop around, collecting candy wrappers and cigarette butts from bins and lawns into large plastic green bags.
In the center of the village in the park there is a playground (free of charge) with slides, swings, a carousel, a sandbox and benches, a working church, a small local village market (vegetables, fruits, all kinds of products), 3-4 small grocery stores, a post office, an exchanger for bus station (although the currency is also changed at the market), a Raiffeisen ATM on the embankment (near the Aquatoria), cards for mobile phones are sold by hand at the bus station and 20 meters above the market in a store.
The weather throughout the holiday was sunny, during the day 25-28, at night 18-20, sea 20-22 degrees.
If you do not want it to be hot, stuffy and impossible, then why the hell are you going to the sea in July-early August? And weakly to Israel in August - under 50 degrees Celsius? or to Antarctica in winter - 60? . Before you go somewhere, look and analyze the climate depending on the season ! ! !
Early in the morning, the day after arrival, I could not stand it and, throwing a backpack and a camera over my shoulder, I ran back to the serpentine to look around and take a photo session. I found everything I needed to relax: where you can walk, where you can swim and climb, and a couple of wonderful small wild beaches (just 25 minutes walk from home or 5 minutes by car). Hence the conclusion, do not be lazy to pick up your pink buns from the ottoman, but walk around the neighborhood on the first day and you may not have to pay "mad money" for delivery by boat to a quiet beach (Three Monks) 5 km from home.
The first two days we walked and got acquainted with the village, ate in cafes (I’m not a gourmet, so I eat everything except from my hands, and I won’t leave reviews on food), went to a public beach, rode on their stomachs on cheerful, crystal clear waves (the sea was calm except for the first and last day). Then my daughter had a fever, the first day 39.
0, and the second day 40.2 (vomiting, loose stools) Nurofen practically did not help. There is a private doctor in Novy Svet, but the child is in an armful, the car was blocked by some m ...duck, the ass in a taxi (60 greens) and to Sudak to the hospital. First, they sent me to a pediatrician (30 hryvnas per appointment), he sent me for washing - 2 times (for 50 hryvnyas) and the temperature went down. The next day, they sort of got out, but still stayed at home, only in the evenings the three of us walked around the park for a couple of hours. Most likely she swallowed muck with sea water. During this time, I read all of Tolkien's favorite works.
EVERYTHING IS VERY BAD! ! ! Go to TURKEY! ! !
And then the real activity began. Sudak - Genoese fortress (25 green from the snout) overlooking the Sudak Bay (not impressed). Minibuses from Sudak to Novy Svet go only until 20.00 pm, then only taxis.
The Tsar's path through the botanical reserve (30 greens from the nose) with junipers and pistachio trees 500-700 years old, with access to the Blue and Blue Bays and the Tsar's Beach (20 minutes from the Tsar's Beach to the house without children). Along the Tsar's Path, every 200-300 meters, under pine and juniper paws, there are benches carved from tree trunks. A leisurely walk to Cape Kapchik will bring pleasure. Many overseas homo sapiens.
One evening, for a barbecue and cognac "Koktebel Kara Dag", the Belarusians advised to go to Koktebel to the dolphinarium (they say one of the best in Crimea). Not a bazaar, the next morning we are already in Koktebel - 35 km from the New World (well, shit, there is no embankment as such, the sea is dirty, not a single urn, a concrete wasteland for a kilometer with a closed water park, and very sparse with vegetation).
While waiting for the start of the dolphin performance (80 grins per adult), we took vouchers for a sea excursion to the Golden Gates on a speedboat (50 grins per person). We watched the performance in the dolphinarium (50 minutes long) - both we and the child liked it very much, it was great, fun and touching, the whole performance was quietly filmed on a video camera (Officially paid - 30 hryvnia, you can buy a disc with a record - 50 hryvnia), took a picture with a dolphin ( 80 hryvnyas), looked at the parrots and went to the pier to sit on the boat. So that he breaks down and never walks on the sea! ! ! Tip: take sea excursions only on slow boats. In short, the speed is 30-35 km per hour under "two hundred horses", you don’t have time to see a damn thing properly and capture it in a photo. We immediately flew through the Golden Gate, and after a failed photo, I lost my temper and “gently” asked the driver-guide so that we could go one more round through the gate, but only on the “gurgles”.
Whether I VERY! ! ! gently asked, or for some other reason, but it was done unquestioningly, although with a sour look on his face. We got back on the boat to Koktebel without incident, since the child fell asleep in the boat 15 minutes after the start of the tour, only behind the people were all wet from splashes and waves. The whole tour took 1 hour. On the way back from Koktebel (there is no serpentine anywhere), we drove past the Sun Valley (very tasty grapes).
Golitsyn trail. Since the trail is mountainous, it is necessary to wear comfortable shoes (sneakers, well, or strong bast shoes). It starts to the right of the embankment and goes around Mount Koba-Kaya from below. Entrance fee is 30 hryvnia per adult. A lot of fabulous landscapes open up. We went to the observation deck on a suspension bridge, equipped on a boulder in the sea. Admire the jellyfish floating below. Photographed in ancient outfits of Tauris and Genoese (10 hryvnias).
At the bend of the path to the Golitsyn Grotto I dived from a cliff 6-7 meters high (the bottom is visible, but I could not get it). The water is very clean. We swam in a bay near the Golitsyn Grotto, caught a crab, took a picture, reached Robber Bay, dived for an hour there (if you are very tired, you can swim from Robber Bay on a motor boat for 50 hryvnia to the New World), climbed along the path to Cape Kapchik, from where you can see Royal Beach and Blue Bay. My girls stayed upstairs, I walked along the path to the Through Grotto. It is closed (the gate is wound to death). Tourists, in revenge that the grotto is closed, celebrate their natural needs there. We walked back home along the Tsarskaya trail, smooth and calm (the Golitsyn trail and the Tsarskaya trail join at Cape Kapchik, so that you can save money and not go separately to the Tsarskaya trail, but walk in a circle). In total, a walk with a child, a photo shoot and swimming-diving took 4-5 hours.
We received a lot of positive emotions and impressions, which are fixed in memory.
EVERYTHING IS VERY EXPENSIVE! ! !
The next day we decided to rent a three-seater sea kayak and make a round-the-world trip along the Novosvetsky coast and at the same time see wild beaches and slopes to them. Rental on the beach, two points. Three days before, an hour cost 40 hryvnia. I go to the first point - 50 hryvnia, but there is no boat, I go to the second one - 80 hryvnia per hour (although the kayaks at both points are the same, only the color is different blue and orange). I show him the blow and threaten him that now “how can I take a kayak at another point ! ! ! ". The guy immediately agrees to give a kayak for 50 greens per hour for 2 hours of rental. We take a kayak, oars, spasiki (there is also a child). Let's go on a trip. We swim to the “abservatory” and wild beaches (one of them is nudist), with squeals, screams and swimming, we conduct reconnaissance in battle.
The place for swimming and relaxing is chic, there are few people (20 people, though not all of them are at least dressed in something), people with guitars and books rest for their own pleasure. Having found out everything we need, we turn around and row to the Royal Beach, capturing the New World beauty from the sea. Mount Kaba-Kaya from the sea looks completely different than from the shore. We swim to the Royal Beach (the beach is closed), we ask the guards not to throw stones at us, and without going ashore we swim. The Royal Beach is nothing special. A little further than the Royal Beach in the same bay we find a through stone arch in the sea (the name seems to be "Three Monks"), identical to the Golden Gate in Koktebel. In the same place, a diver was almost injured with an oar (well, he accidentally got under the arm), we ask for the presence of fish, he said that “Fish vo-o-o-oo, sour cream o-o-o-o). On the way back, we were taken by surprise by a flock of dolphins (seen on the surface of four).
They jumped straight ahead on the course of the kayak 70 meters ahead and came towards us. We frantically take out a camera and a video camera, and as usual in such cases we do not have time, very quickly, infections, swim. Thank God, it did not come to a direct collision, for 10 meters they dived under us and did not come to the surface again. It is amazing to see a wild dolphin so close, his eyes, smile, friendly waving of his tail. . As a result, swimming took 3 hours and we paid only 135 hryvnias for a kayak (how much we had with us), the guy was not particularly upset.
In the last four days, from morning to evening, we went to a wild beach, sunbathed, swam, swam with flippers, ate grapes and drank wine, in general, lazy in peace and quiet under the cozy and gentle Black Sea sun (skin cover during the vacation period who does not have tears in any place).
In the evenings, after the child fell asleep, they went for a walk around the village and on the "Stone Slab" to enjoy the night New World landscapes, champagne and each other. Didn't want to leave! ! ! We will definitely be back! ! !
We got to Orel without incident (the State Traffic Inspectorate did not stop either there or back). In Melitopol, at a gas station, we met a housemate, he was resting in Koktebel. Spent on vacation for three along with the road, mattresses, fins, masks, umbrellas and other offal about 5.000 Russian rubles. They brought with them 3 boxes of Novosvet champagne (from 50 to 80 hryvnia bottle) and 450 photos.
P. S. FOR HOLIDAYERS:
Do not pay attention to everyday trifles, turn your head more often and look around with clear eyes wide open and you will find exactly what you need for a wonderful memorable vacation. And pasties and salads can be eaten at home.
AND ADMINISTRATION:
Deny entry to the New World vacationers in Sudak. Seriously, thank the people responsible for the culture and cleanliness of the territory, and express a wish not to let the village perish in new fashionable architectural ensembles (such as high-rise hotels and water parks).
Respectfully to all……. .
