On the Crimean peninsula, not far from Simferopol, is the village of Nikolaevka. Its favorable location has turned it from an ordinary seaside village, which is common on the coast, into a popular and developing resort.
Location and climatic conditions
The village of Nikolaevka is located on the western Black Sea coast, in Kalamitsky Bay. The modern resort is located in the seaside-steppe zone with a mild climate, which has a beneficial effect on the human body.
The daytime breeze, which does not encounter forest or mountain barriers, brings sea coolness and freshness to the steppe, and the nighttime breeze is filled with the aromas of flowers and steppe herbs. The proximity to the steppe provides lower humidity than in other resorts of the peninsula. Many tourists note that the rest in Nikolaevka is remembered by the fact that it is very easy to breathe here even in the strongest heat.
Another indisputable advantage of this village is the absence of seaports and industrial enterprises in the area. In summer the weather is dry and hot (+27°C). Surprisingly, unlike the southernshores of the peninsula, Nikolaevka does not have a velvet season. The sea in the second half of September is no longer very comfortable for swimming, although the water that has warmed up over the summer gives off heat for a long time. Thanks to this, the winter here is snowless and very mild. In January, the temperature never drops below +2.5°C.
Rest in Nikolayevka
Without a doubt, the beach holiday is the main one in this holiday village. The beach here stretches for eight kilometers. The coast is covered with sand and colorful pebbles. The sea is shallow with a smooth entry. It is very convenient for families with small children. The beach strip continues beyond the territory of Nikolaevka. In the northwest there is a wild beach, on which there is practically no infrastructure. To the south of the pier, on the other side of the village, are the beaches of boarding houses. And if you walk along the coast another 300 meters, you can find yourself on a nudist beach.
Entertainment
Despite its relatively small size, in terms of the number of entertainment, this village is almost as good as the larger and more popular resorts. In Nikolaevka there is an excellent Luna Park with various attractions for both adults and children, many restaurants, cafes, bars. Fans of nightlife will not be bored here. They will always be welcome in the popular nightclubs "Babilon", "Nebo" and "Baikonur".
And for the little guests in the village there are wonderful playgrounds, trampolines, slides. Thanks to this set of entertainment in the village, weekend tours began to be actively sold by many agencies.
Activity fans won't be disappointed with the trip either. The village has quite a decent football field, basketball and volleyball courts, tennis courts. And, of course, there is a full range of standard beach activities: jet skiing, "pills", "bananas", parachuting, yachting and sea fishing. And if these entertainments are not enough for you, then you can go to the "Banana Republic" - one of the largest water parks in Crimea, located 30 km from the village.
