Crimea offers not only numerous sightseeing tours, but also the opportunity to go windsurfing, diving, visiting caves, palaces, parasailing or just relaxing on the beach.
Since the coast of the peninsula is quite long, the question invariably arises for everyone who decides that he will stop in the Crimea: "Where is it better?" The choice of a resort town or a small village largely depends on your goals or preferences.
Swimming season
Most tourists are invariably interested in the question of when the swimming season begins in Crimea. And this is quite logical, because it is the sea that attracts guests.

No less attractive is the opportunity to improve your he alth on the expanses of the coast.

Indigenous people most often begin to swim in May.
The official start of the swimming season falls on June. At this time, the water temperature reaches +20…+22 degrees. And the air warms up to +28…+30 degrees. In June, there are already quite a lot of tourists on the beaches. And yet the beaches at this time are not yet crowded, and the heat has not come.
According to reviews, the best vacation in Crimea is in July and August. It is these months that are considered to be the period of the high season. Hot weather allows the sea to warm up as much as possible. The water temperature reaches +23…+25 degrees. And the air temperature is much higher than +30 degrees.
It is worth understanding that even at the height of the season, the sea can surprise vacationers. Even in August and July, the water temperature can drop to +10 degrees. With strong winds, warm layers go to the sea, and cold waters come in their place. This phenomenon is the norm for the Crimea. But that's not to say that upwelling is bad, as it brings clear deep water that warms up after two to three days.
On the South Coast you can swim in September. The heat at the beginning of autumn goes away, and the sea remains still warm. At this time on the beachesthere are much fewer tourists.
