Rest in Evpatoria. What to see in Yevpatoria: attractions and entertainment

The Dolphinarium, located on Kievskaya Street, is considered one of the best dolphinariums in Crimea. It has been operating since 1997, but recently opened in a new building, the auditorium of which has a capacity of 700 seats, and the pool holds 2,000 cubic meters of water. In addition to the central pool, the dolphinarium also has tanks for pinnipeds. The new dolphinarium building is considered the largest dolphinarium building in the entire territory of Crimea. This is the building of a former hydropathic sanatorium.

Performances with dolphins, sea lions and seals last about 40-45 minutes. Animals perform complex jumps through rings, spins, somersaults, play ball, dance on their tails, sing, draw and applaud.

At the end of the season, the animals are delivered to the rehabilitation base on Lake Donuzlav, located 35 kilometers from Yevpatoria.

Juma Jami Mosque

Juma-Jami translated means “Friday mosque”. Today it is a monument to the medieval Muslim architecture of global significance.

There is an opinion that the model for this mosque (as well as for some others built by Khoja Sinan) was the Cathedral of St. Sophia in Constantinople. The composition of the temple is built on the principle of “increasing volumes”. Mosque - central building, in the west and east to which two minarets are attached. Several burials with marble tombstones have been preserved in the mosque’s fence; senior officers of the Ottoman army from the Crimean campaign are buried here.

At one time, a Muslim religious school, a madrasah, was located near the mosque. Juma-Jami was one of the main mosques of the Crimean Khanate and a kind of symbol of Tatar statehood - when the next Crimean Khan went to Istanbul to be confirmed in office, the Sultan’s firman was officially announced to the faithful in Juma-Jami, confirming his powers.

Chapel of St. George the Victorious

St. George the Victorious is considered the patron saint of all warriors and landowners. The chapel was founded on January 19, 1995, and consecrated on May 6 of the same year. The author of the project is G. S. Grigoryants, and the author of the sculpture crowning the temple is Archpriest Nikolai Donenko. The artistic work was supervised by Honored Artist of Ukraine G.Ya. Brusentsov. Based on his sketches by artist V.K. Pavlov created a mosaic icon of St. George the Victorious above the entrance.

The seaport in Yevpatoria in the 19th century was the largest in west coast Black Sea region.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the port was often closed; in 1930 it was restored, but not for long, in the 40s, during the war, the marine terminal and berths were destroyed by explosions. The port was restored only in 1950.

Since then, the largest state-owned enterprise of the year-resort has developed rapidly. So, in the 80s, construction sand was actively mined, transported and sold here in the area of ​​Lake Donuzlav.

Cape Tarkhankut

Cape Tarkhankut is the westernmost point of Crimea, which, moreover, is located relatively close to Yevpatoria, one of the capitals of Crimean tourism. The Cape is widely known and is visited by thousands of people every year, each of whom finds something to their liking.

The cape itself is a plateau that ends in the sea with amazingly picturesque rocks that attracted many filmmakers to this region during the heyday of Soviet cinema. And not only them - beautiful rocky cliffs, complemented by small, but fabulous cozy beaches, mysterious grottoes and alluring caves, few people can be left indifferent.

It is worth noting that at Cape Tarkanhut the Black Sea is extremely clean, and in the completely transparent water you can admire the underwater beauty to your heart’s content, do underwater photography, and just swimming in such water is a pleasure.

One of the legends of this place is the lighthouse located on the cape. Exact time The appearance of the very first lighthouse is unknown, but it appears on maps in the fourteenth century, and is mentioned in written sources centuries earlier. Not to mention the fact that one of the most ancient names of these places that have come down to us is Eski-Foros, which means “old lighthouse”.

And if he was considered old then, then even more so now. Although, of course, the current lighthouse is a completely modern structure that fully performs its functions. In a word, a visit to Cape Tarkanhut will be interesting to many - both lovers of picturesque landscapes and fans of active water recreation, and those who are interested in the history of Crimea.

Individual and group

It is probably difficult to find a person in the post-Soviet space who has not heard of Yevpatoria. Just look at these tempting words of Mayakovsky that turn the heads of every tourist: “I feel very sorry for those who have not been to Evpatoria.” And now, when you get to Evpatoria, you can’t help but think that Mayakovsky wanted to say these words, and he would have said them if he had gotten to Evpatoria in our time! But not all at once!

Third, there are various performances taking place in the city.
It is in Yevpatoria that the well-known Living Sculpture Theater, the Wolfram Fire Theater, and the theater on stilts are located (which you all could watch on the talk show “5 Minutes of Fame” on ORT). The Theater of Living Sculpture can be seen every evening on Gorky Embankment.
Anyone can take a photo with them. How hard it must be to stand all evening covered in makeup and only occasionally change your position. Although who said that great art is easy?

The fourth is mud healing lake Moinaki

Your surprise and joy will know no bounds when you can walk the length and breadth of this large and very salty lake. Since the most deep point lake is 1.3 m.
On the shore of the lake there are mud baths where, if you wish, you can smear yourself with mud and get a mountain of positive emotions, as well as treat your health.

World scientists have come to the conclusion that these muds are older than the famous ones, and their properties are much more healing.
The mud baths offer you a huge selection of treatments to suit every taste. Massage, mud wrap, Charcot shower and many other useful things. If you wish, you can buy mud to take home and then treat it at home.
For example, we went to the Panacea mud bath. If you take a tram, you need to get off at the Moinaki stop, and then directly through the park you get straight to the mud baths! “Panacea” is located on the very shore of the lake and has its own free beach. Here you can be offered a Charcot shower. Water for this procedure is taken directly from salt lake Moinaki. Also, here they stubbornly smear themselves with mud, and they smear themselves so much that you want to find yourself in this form in front of the teacher whose classes you missed today, and you walk along the corridor towards them in the hope that you will not be recognized or noticed.
And here is my advice to all the regulars of MirSovetov: buy mud in bulk and smear yourself with it, it will be 2-3 times cheaper than if you bought the procedure from a nurse. For comparison: legs – 8 UAH, back – 13 UAH, arms – 8 UAH. But if you buy it by weight, then 0.5 kg of mud costs only 5 UAH, and this mud is enough for your legs, back, and arms!! But doctors do not advise collecting mud on the shore of the lake; they say that this mud has long lost its properties! Therefore, treat yourself correctly!
Fifth – a boat trip
If you, like me, have seasickness, then feel free to take a ticket for a 30-minute walk and try to stick to the bow of the ship. And I'm sure nothing will stop you from enjoying beautiful view coast during the day or night.
But for lovers of night entertainment, I can recommend a 2-hour disco. What could be more pleasant and extreme than dancing to open air In the open sea. True, I wasn’t there myself, but my friends were delighted.

A few words about delicious!

As for food, there are no problems with this in Yevpatoria. What they can do, they can do! You walk along the embankment, where there is a restaurant on top of a restaurant, and from there such aromas emanate that even a well-fed person will feel hungry. Of course, prices in restaurants and cafes on the coast are twice as high as in the city, but we came to relax?!
For my part, I would recommend to everyone one cafe called “Azhur”, which is located on Pobedy Avenue in mall"CONSOL". The chef’s hands are simply golden, and this was appreciated not only by me, but also by the culinary competition “Golden Hands 2006”, 1st prize. And the atmosphere in this cafe is cozy and romantic. If you want romance, and just to be alone without anyone disturbing you, feel free to come to “Azhur”, you won’t regret it!
And for lovers, in the very center of Yevpatoria there is a pizzeria “Celentano”, where you can order the pizza you want. Here you make the pizza yourself, and only you can decide what will be included in it and what will not. In any case, it turns out very tasty, just lick your fingers.

Main attractions and entertainment in Evpatoria in 2019. Where to go at the resort with and without children? And which excursions to choose?

Let’s make a reservation right away - we won’t tell you about discos and nightclubs! The article only talks about where to go in Evpatoria in 2017 with children or relaxed married couples. There is not much entertainment in the city, but there is some! And therefore, there is no need to say that this resort is visited only by those who need two things: sun and sea!

Attractions

The old town is the first place where tourists go when they have heard about the glorious and mighty Gezlef fortress, which was a large and populated area in Turkish times.

Alas, almost nothing has survived from that era: only the well-reconstructed Karaimskaya Street and the completely undeveloped alleys that branch off from it await vacationers.

A person with imagination will be fascinated by the old Tatar city: of course, it is made of stone and one-story! Most people simply won’t understand what to look at here!

The ancient tower, through the passage through which everyone usually gets to the show, Odun Bazaar Kapusy, has been preserved very well: on the second floor there is a cafe, and on the third there is a museum of Tatar life.

  • Diagonally from the tower, across the intersection (outside the Old Town), there is the Dzheval restaurant - perhaps the most atmospheric catering establishment in the city. The food is delicious and the prices aren’t so low that they won’t rise.

Karaite kenas

Karaite kenas, temple complex Karaite tribe, is historically the central attraction of Evpatoria. And those who love chebureks and other dishes of Tatar cuisine are recommended to visit the cafe - it’s next door to the museum.

From the Old City you can go to the Juma-Jami Mosque - it was designed by the famous Sinan himself, the author of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Just a block away is the main christian temple city, Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

  • The building, built at the end of the 19th century, was visited once by the royal family when they loved to travel around Crimea during their vacation.

Both the cathedral and the mosque stand on Revolution Street. A highway, on one side of which there is a vast garden overlooking the Tereshkova embankment. Offering several possibilities for entertainment.

Entertainment

Tereshkova embankment

On the embankment they cook and eat, adults walk (a view of the port with yachts is included - no bulk carriers) and children play - there is a large area. There is a place to sit on a bench or right on the concrete fence of the embankment. There is no beach, but locals swim.

  • In the evenings, holidaymakers wander along the illuminated promenade, their children ride on velomobiles, and there are tents with barbecue and ice cream.
  • In 2017, a modern Ferris wheel with closed cabins was installed, brightly illuminated in the evening - it looks gorgeous against the backdrop of dark greenery

Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

Another popular place For evening walks(arborvitae, lanterns, paving stones, street performers, Crimean waffles) - Gorky embankment. It, like the pedestrian streets leading to it: Duvanovskaya or Frunze, become extremely busy places, once the heat subsides a little

It’s pleasant to walk here - there are no words. Near Shkolnaya Street, in the Lenin Garden, there is an equipped children's playground; you can take pictures against the backdrop of a pool with fountains

  • Note that it is on the Gorky embankment that the boarding beaches of Evpatoria are located: free, but allowing access to the water only from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • For the 2017 season, they were thoroughly cleaned of debris and stones, equipped with towers for rescuers, and hundreds of sun loungers were placed under awnings.

Beach on Gorky embankment

There are amusement parks on Frunze Street. If trampolines, several carousels and other simple entertainment mainly for children under 7 years old can be called this word.

  • Nearby, on Kievskaya Street, there is a city dolphinarium that puts on surprisingly cool shows with dolphins and fur seals. You can also buy a picture painted by one of the dolphins - if you win the auction
  • Prices for visiting are “biting”: an adult will pay 1,000 rubles for himself, and 600 rubles will have to be paid for a child

Water park "At Lukomorye"

Also located nearby is another famous entertainment center in Evpatoria - the aqualand "At Lukomorye". They say that the local slides will satisfy only children (not true), but the presence of a swimming pool - the largest in Crimea in terms of area - and a jacuzzi will reconcile adults too.

  • Not many vacationers swim - everyone is on the slides - and therefore you can really enjoy the pool

Prices for visiting are not very modest: an adult ticket costs 1,400 rubles, and for a child 1-1.3 meters tall you will have to pay 1,000 rubles.

"Banana"

With children in Yevpatoria, you can go to another water park - “Banana Republic”. It is located not in the city, but in the village of Pribrezhnoye - about 10 km along the Simferopol highway.

  • The sacrifices are justified if you do not take into account spending on vacation (ticket - from 1,800 rubles), since this water park is the first in Crimea in terms of the level and number of slides. There may be long lines during the season

There is plenty of entertainment on the beaches too. Closed “grid” towns are not very popular for children, but “banana” is in demand at all times.
