One of the best vacation spots in Crimea has always been Koktebel, although it is just an urban-type settlement. However, there are large boarding houses and small hotels in it. In fact, there is housing for every taste and budget. In addition, without leaving the village, you can find entertainment for both extreme lovers and those who prefer family pastime. But everyone who has ever rested there will definitely remember the incredibly clean beaches of Koktebel.
The resort village is located in a bay near the extinct volcano Kara-Dag. This volcano is one of the most beautiful natural sights of the Crimea. Its bizarre forms resemble the king, queen and numerous retinue. But the most famous formations of the Kara-Dag mountain range are the Golden, or Devil's, Gates. And all this splendor can be enjoyed just by visiting the beaches of Koktebel.
Beaches stretch along the entire village. The sea here (due to its location in the bay) is always clean and transparent. Despite the fact that the coast is pebbly, as in most of the Crimea, the bottom itself is sandy. Notonly this makes swimming pleasant, but also the comfortable water temperature from June to October. In addition, almost all the beaches of Koktebel are free, with a developed infrastructure. Sun loungers, umbrellas and swimming mattresses are available for guests for a fee.
The most famous beaches of Koktebel are the beaches of the boarding houses "Blue Bay" and "Primorye". They are located in the central part of the village, not far from the coastal park. But they are popular not only because of this. Every day, the beaches are cleaned of garbage, and the garbage is removed not only on the coast, but also in the water. Drinks and light snacks are available on site. Various water activities are organized for vacationers.
But for many thrill-seekers who go on vacation to the Crimea (Koktebel), beaches are not the most important thing. Near this village, on Mount Klementyev, there is a gliding center "Koktebel", in which everyone can carry out a hang-gliding flight or a parachute jump. The unique natural conditions allow you to literally hang in the air and enjoy the opened beauty. All jumps are carried out under the strict guidance of instructors.
Besides flying, there are other activities. On the territory of the village itself there is a water park, a dolphinarium and a dinotherium. Without leaving Koktebel, you can have a great time. But if you still want to visit other places, you can book any tour of the Crimea or, if time permits, go by bus to Sudakor Feodosia.
Besides, Koktebel hosts the festival of jazz and ethnic music "Jazz-Koktebel". Every year it gathers more than 20 thousand fans from all over the world. And it is no coincidence. Many jazz performers take part in it with pleasure. Every year the popularity of the festival is growing, so it is recommended to purchase a subscription to attend concerts in advance.
This is what Koktebel is famous for. Here you can relax not only with your body, but also with your soul. As already mentioned, this is one of the cleanest places in the Crimea. Come to Koktebel (Crimea), photos of the beach and clear sea will warm your soul for a long time.
