About Berdyansk
The history of Berdyansk begins in the 1830s, when a pier was opened on the site of the current city and the first foundation was laid. Over the next century, the initially tiny settlement was built up and expanded - educational institutions, ports, lighthouses, factories and museums were opened and modernized. In the post-war period, cable and fiberglass factories began operating on the territory of Berdyansk. The population in 1838 was only 3,000, and today, according to the latest data, it is more than 140,000.
Berdyansk is located on the eastern part of thebay. The shores here are mostly sandy, and the sea is shallow. The water warms up in summer to 25-27 degrees, but you can swim in June. The air temperature can reach 30-32 degrees, but a light breeze blowing from the sea relieves the exhausting heat.
Berdyansk consists of three districts:
- Nagorny (locals live here);
- Lower (entertainment and business center);
- Berdyansk Spit (sand ledge, 20 km into the sea, with a rich hotel and entertainment infrastructure).

The differences are that a home hotel is an officially registered legal entity. In addition, mini-hotels have a reception, and apartments are equipped with their own bathrooms. But the rooms here are several times smaller than in a regular hotel - no more than 8-10 (and even then at best).
Prices in this segment are higher than for renting apartments, but lower than in the hotel business.
