Crimean coast map. Map of the Republic of Crimea with cities in detail

Crimea has long been called the pearl of Europe. The temperate climate and subtropics are uniquely combined here, forming special natural features. On the territory of Crimea there are mountains, plains, seas, lakes, bays, forests, steppes, volcanoes and mud hills.

Geographically, Crimea is located in the south of Ukraine at the same latitude as the south of France and the north of Italy. The outlines of the peninsula are unique. Some people think that it looks like a flying bird, some see a heart, and others have an association with a bunch of grapes.

Looking at the map of Ukraine, the Crimean peninsula is immediately visible. In the middle of the blue sea space, a quadrangle of land stands out, where Tarkhankut protrudes on one side, and the Kerch Peninsula on the other. Narrow band Kerch Strait separates Crimea from Taman Peninsula, which is part Krasnodar region Russia.

On all sides, Crimea is washed by the Black and Azov seas. If it were not for the narrow Perekop Isthmus connecting Crimea to the mainland, the region would have become a full-fledged island.

The Autonomous Republic of Crimea is a region of Ukraine. The northern administrative border runs along Lake Sivash and the Perekopsky shaft. The Arbat Spit in the northeast divides Crimea and the Kherson region. In the opposite part is the hero city of Sevastopol. By the way, it has republican subordination and is isolated from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea on most economic issues.

The center of business and cultural life of the region is the city of Simferopol. It is located in the very center of the peninsula and connects all routes between the cities of Crimea. Thanks to the geographical location of the peninsula, its border position between Europe and Asia, Crimea has become a crossroads on the paths of various peoples and civilizations. That is why there are so many historical and cultural monuments in the region.

The area of Crimea is more than 25 thousand square meters. kilometers, which is quite a lot for the peninsula. For comparison: this is larger than Israel, Lebanon or Cyprus.

The nature of the peninsula is extremely diverse, at least due to the combination of 3 climatic zones. The earth is favorable for Agriculture, and the sea coast is very convenient.

As for the relief of Crimea, its flat part differs little from the neighboring regions of Ukraine. West Side passes into the limestone ledges of Tarkhankut, and in the east the hilly ranges of Kerch begin. The famous Crimean mountains stretch from Sevastopol to Feodosia in three ridges. Their length is 150 kilometers. The northern slopes of the mountains are smooth and gentle, while the southern slopes are sharp and steep. The highest point in Crimea is Mount Roman Kosh (1545 meters).

Total length coastline- more than 1000 km. The largest bays on the Black Sea coast are Karnitsky, Kalamitsky and Feodosiya. On the shore Sea of Azov- Sivash, Arbatsky and Kazantipsky.

The uniqueness of the Crimean peninsula partly lies in its unique climate. Although the peninsula is not large in size, the climatic zones here have big variety. Surprisingly, with an area of the peninsula of 27 thousand square kilometers, there are as many as three climatic macroregions. This is not counting the fact that there are up to 20 subregions here! The secret of this phenomenon is the combination of various relief formations, the fact that the peninsula is washed by two seas, the presence of bays, and also the fact that its borders are surrounded by high-altitude mountains. Basically, the climatic zones are divided into three main relief units of the peninsula - the steppe, mountain, and southern embankment zone.

A special feature of the region is the presence of areas where winter period especially warm. At the same time, it is phenomenal that if, for example, in Yalta and Melitopol in summer the temperature spread is only 1 degree, in winter the temperature difference can reach 11 degrees! This is precisely explained by the landscape; the Crimean mountains in this case protect Yalta from mainland winds. It is warmest, of course, on the southern coast of Crimea; here the mild weather is due to the proximity of the sea. The most severe in terms of cold are the Crimean Mountains, the peaks of which remain cold even in summer. The warmest place in Crimea is Miskhor. average temperature in January it is +4.4 degrees, and the annual average is almost 14 degrees Celsius. Thus, Crimea remains an attractive holiday destination for tourists even in winter; people come here for the Christmas holidays or winter holidays. Map of Crimea regions:

Crimean mountains- silent giants keeping the secrets of history

The mountains divide the Crimean peninsula into two parts: the larger part is the steppe part, and the mountain part itself. The mountains stretch from the northeastern to the southwestern part of the peninsula, from Sevastopol to Feodosia, forming three parallel mountain ranges, which in turn are separated by beautiful green plains. The length of the mountains is almost 200 kilometers, the width is approximately 50 kilometers. The main ridge has the highest mountain height, it includes such giants as Roman-Kosh, with a height of more than one and a half kilometers, Chatyrdok, whose height is 1525 meters (which is only 20 meters less than the height of Mount Roman-Kosh), and Ai-Petri , whose height is 1231 meters. Southern slopes The main ridge is steep, while the northern ones are gentle.

The peaks of the Crimean mountains without forests form plateaus called “yayls”. From Turkic the word “yayl” is translated as “summer pasture”. Yailas combine the properties of mountains and plains; they are connected by narrow ridges with mountain passes. Since ancient times, routes from the Crimean steppe to the southern coast passed through these places.

Over the centuries, the Yailas have been eroded by rainwater, the streams of which have crisscrossed the mountains. numerous moves, forming beautiful caves, mines and wells.

Behind the Main Ridge is the Inner Ridge. She is significantly lower highest point the inner ridge is Mount Kubalich, its height is less than 750 meters. The inner ridge extends from the Mekenzi Mountains to Mount Agarmysh. The length of this ridge is 125 kilometers.

The third row of the Crimean mountains is called the Northern Ridge. This mountain range is the lowest, its height reaches only 340 meters. This ridge is also called the foothills. The southern slopes of the northern ridge are steep, while the northern ones are gentle, gradually turning into plains. The Crimean mountains are great place For mountain tourism, hiking, rock climbing. Well-established infrastructure allows you to organize a comprehensive, complete vacation that is good for your health.

Crimean steppes- fertile fields and mud volcanoes. If mountains are located on only 20 percent of the territory of the peninsula, then the steppe occupies about 70 percent of the entire territory of Crimea. The Crimean steppe is the southern edge of the East European Plain. It is almost completely located at the same level, only slightly lowering in the north. On the Kerch Peninsula, the steppe is divided by the Parpach ridge, here the southwestern part is flat, and the northeastern part is hilly. This area contains the famous mud hills and coastal lake basins. There are unique mud volcanoes here (these volcanoes are not related to real volcanoes, because they spew cold mud instead of hot lava).

Plain part The Crimean steppe consists of southern chernozems, unusually fertile, so more than half of the territory is occupied by arable land, the rest is forest and pasture, and only less than 5% of the steppe is occupied by vineyards and garden plots.

The basis of green tourism- Crimean forests. It is naive to believe that Crimea is an arid, bare steppe. Almost 350 thousand hectares of the peninsula are occupied by forests. Mostly oak trees grow on the mountain slopes; here they make up about 65% of all trees (while pine trees make up less than 15%). On South Coast The legendary juniper and evergreen small-fruited strawberries grow. Here you can find pistachios, Pontic broom, cistus, pyracantha, bush jasmine, and many other plants that are difficult to find on the mainland of Ukraine.

Diversity of water resources of Crimea. There are more than one and a half thousand rivers and drainages on the Crimean peninsula. The total length of water flows is almost 6 thousand kilometers. At the same time, it should be noted that most of them are small streams that dry up in summer. It is surprising that there are only 257 rivers on the peninsula that are more than 5 kilometers long.

The main rivers of the peninsula are divided into the following groups:

Rivers of the northern slope of the Crimean mountains. Here is the famous Salgir, the longest Crimean river, its length is 232 kilometers. The remaining rivers of the northern slope are much shorter, for example, Wet Indol - only 27 kilometers, Churuksu - 33 kilometers.
Rivers of the northwestern slope. The Alma River is the longest here, its length is 84 kilometers. Other rivers (Chernaya, Belbek, Kacha, Western Bulganok) are a little shorter.
Rivers of the Southern Coast of Crimea. Mostly small ones here water flows, for example, the length of the Uchan-Su River is only 8.4 kilometers, Demerdzhi - 14, and Derekoyka - 12 kilometers.

An amazing fact: the rivers of the northwestern slopes are located almost parallel, and half of their path are mountain streams. The rivers of the northern slopes that flow across the plain flow into Sivash. On the South Coast, short rivers are entirely mountain streams; they all flow into the Black Sea. The Uchan-Su River is unique here; along its short path it forms four beautiful waterfalls.

The reason for the poor development of river waters on the peninsula is that the main source of rivers is rain. Rainwater feeds the rivers of Crimea by almost 50 percent, while groundwater gives the rivers only 30 percent of their water potential. The rest is snow melting. Crimea's groundwater potential barely exceeds a billion cubic meters; for comparison, Ukraine supplies three times annually more water to the peninsula. 20 reservoirs and more than a hundred ponds help control groundwater. The North Crimean Canal from Ukraine supplies 3.5 billion cubic meters of water to Crimea, this is the main water source for agriculture. If it were not for this water source, the arid Crimean steppe could not be fertile. (for comparison, in 1937 there were 35 thousand hectares of irrigated land, and in 1994 there were more than 10 times more - 400 thousand).

Of course, speaking about water resources, one cannot fail to mention estuary lakes, valuable healing springs salt water. In total, there are more than 50 such lakes on the territory of Crimea, their total area exceeds 5 thousand square kilometers. Salts are obtained here healing mud. The most famous such lake is Saki, but you can also visit Sasyk, Donuzlav, Bakal, Krasnoe or Lake Aktash.

Bottom line: In Crimea you can find absolutely everything on maps, and even more. Holidays for treatment purposes, winter and summer holidays, extreme tourism, hiking and cycling, wine tourism, rock climbing - here you can find a vacation for every taste and budget. Unique climate and the atmosphere of these places will make you come here again and again.

Travelers planning to visit the magnificent Crimea for the first time should get an idea of what awaits them here in advance. Helpful information will allow you to choose the right place to relax and understand the specifics of the resorts. We present to your attention detailed guide on the Crimean peninsula.
