The village of Nikolaevka was founded in 1858, near the Nikolaevsky spring, which flows in these places, by a simple sailor Andrei Grigorievich Bobyr, together with his comrades with whom he took part in the defense of Sevastopol, for which they received permission to settle in Crimea. The name was chosen in honor of the source that gave rise to the village.

Excursions from the village of Nikolaevka are offered throughout Crimea, the most common routes are

For a short independent trip from Nikolaevka, preferably in the afternoon, we recommend visiting two famous Crimean resorts, Saki and Evpatoria.

You need to go back a little east along the highway to Simferopol, then follow the sign “Saki-Evpatoria” and drive north and get on the Simferopol-Evpatoria highway. On a regular bus or minibus, or taxi, you don’t need to think too much about where to turn. Bus station in Nikolaevka is located on Lenin Street 29, next to the Fortuna guest house, opening hours from 6.45 to 21.45. The distance to the Saki bus station from Nikolaevka is about 32 km, travel time is usually about 45 minutes. From the Saki bus station to the station in Yevpatoria it is about 21 km, the travel time is about half an hour.

Please take into account that the Saki resort is located far from the sea beaches, where the main healing lake is. And in Yevpatoria the beaches simply disappeared. The most unpleasant thing is the once famous Cape Chaika with huge pioneer camps in Soviet times. There the beaches on land are huge, but in the water there are only sharp stones and mud. So don't miss swimming on Nikolaevka beach in the morning! Evpatoria is much more expensive than Nikolaevka at all prices. Saki in general also has a high cost of living and recreation, or rather, resort treatment.

Saki resort(the city's population is 25 thousand people, employed mainly in the resort industry) is unique and famous since ancient and Scythian antiquity for the treatment of infertility in women and men, as well as for wound healing. Participants in combat operations or those who were involved in an accident, victims of industrial accidents and natural disasters with complex injuries not covered in any textbooks, come here even from distant countries.

The Saki healing lake with mud and brine, as well as springs of mineral water, are supported by the dry steppe climate and the magical skill of doctors.

The name of the city is very ancient, probably pre-Scythian. The Crimean Tatars called the healing lake and its small village the same - Sak, but this is not a Turkic word. Probably it should be translated from the Aryan sak - trap, bag (compare: German zak - bag, French sak voyage - travel bag, Russian - landing net, landing net). This name could mean that the sea flooded the shore, and then became trapped and became a mud lake. Geologists testify that this happened within the memory of the ancient inhabitants of Crimea. By the way, Taurian tribes lived on the coast. They were called fires, probably from the custom of lighting (burning) bright signal lights at heights.

During times Crimean War Numerous wounded people began to be treated at the lake. Several villages of different nationalities arose - that is, Tatar Sak, Russian Sak, etc. The first mud resort of the Russian Empire grew quickly, and the collective name Saki was assigned to it. The resort received city status only in 1954.

The most wonderful place in the city - Resort Park with ponds and sculptures, including a grandiose group of dinosaurs, made back in the 1960s, long before they were fashionable. The town of Pushkin's fairy tales, Swan Lake with bridges and special playgrounds are interesting for parents and children to relax. There are also free exercise equipment for adults in the Resort Park.

Not far from the park is Museum of Local Lore, the building of which was built by the caretaker of the imperial salt mines Balashov for his mistress Countess Panina in 1913. A small but very interesting exhibition, in addition to the history of the resort, also covers the history of the healing of Tsarevich Alexei. Saki mud was transported for him in barrels to Livadia. They were supplied from the healing lake near the dacha “Al” by its owner Shevkoplyas. Soon, the young heir to the throne, Alexei, together with his father Nicholas II, visited Evpatoria, they walked barefoot along the golden beaches and took photographs. The mayor Semyon Duvan took advantage of the benevolent august mood, thanks to which the railway from Ostryakovo station to Saki and Evpatoria was financed from the royal treasury.

Recently, a declassified aviation garrison has gained worldwide fame (albeit among military pilots and sailors) Saki-4. It is famous for the world's largest ski jump for carrier-based aviation training.

Back in the 5th century. BC. On the territory of the garrison there was a settlement of ancient Greeks, archaeological excavations of which were carried out in the 1980s. conducted by Crimean archaeologist S. Lantsov. O. I. Dombrovsky’s children’s archaeological expeditions also worked here.

In the 1930s, one of the field (dirt) airfields for the Kachin Military Pilot School was built in the Saki-4 garrison. During the occupation, the Nazis made a concrete surface for the airfield, so that after the liberation of Crimea it was the best. Therefore, it was here that the planes of Churchill and Roosevelt landed in February 1945.

The airfield and the unique research and testing aviation training complex (NITKA) were used in the development, testing and modification of carrier-based aircraft, which were based on aircraft-carrying cruisers of the Admiral Kuznetsov series.

Between Saki and Yevpatoria, on the lake embankment, the Saki water park was built in the Latin American style for the 2005 season. It's called Aquaparkos. Relatively inexpensive in terms of prices, you can pay not only for the whole day or half a day, but also by the hour. Aquaparkos is closest to Nikolaevka. There are good conditions and prices for parents and children to relax here.

Evpatoria(about 115 thousand inhabitants) is one of the best places on the planet for the treatment and rehabilitation of children. Shallow, warm and safe Kalamitsky Bay (the same as near Nikolaevka, but holidays in Nikolaevka are cheaper), golden sandy beaches closed to outsiders, healing mud and brine of salt lakes, thermal mineral springs. By the way, swimming season on the beaches of Nikolaevka and along the entire shore of Kalamitsky Bay for adults it is favorable from May 20 to October 14 and is almost not complicated by storms (on average only 9 days per season) or temperature drops below 17 degrees (only 14 days per season). The water temperature is above 20 degrees from June 20 to September 13.

The beaches of Evpatoria are significantly overloaded with vacationers; recently their width has practically disappeared. Therefore, many beaches are paid, especially in the center of Evpatoria; beaches and parks of sanatoriums and children's health resorts are closed to outsiders. So we recommend spending the first half of the day on Nikolaevka beach. Prices in Evpatoria for everything on the coastal strip are very expensive. So it’s smarter to have breakfast, lunch and dinner in Nikolaevka.

In Evpatoria sanatoriums with a wide range of comfort levels (from wards for 6-10 people to apartments), diseases of the musculoskeletal system, upper respiratory tract and respiratory organs, rheumatism, skin diseases and metabolic disorders, many occupational ailments, vibration disease, diseases of the organs of hearing, vision, cerebral palsy, consequences of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system, including polio.

In Evpatoria there are many children with cerebral palsy, hereditary diseases, and people with disabilities. Of course, in Nikolaevka the general holiday atmosphere is cheerful and healthy. However, this is reality.

What is interesting in Evpatoria for healthy children? On July 12, 2014, the largest Evpatoria water park in Crimea, “Aqualand near Lukomorye,” opened. Even throughout Russia, this entertainment center for children and adults is unique. It is decorated in the style of Pushkin's fairy tales. Well, most importantly, his target audience is children undergoing resort treatment, including those with complex congenital diseases, and people with disabilities. The new water park is located very conveniently, in the center of the coastline and directly opposite the railway station - in the Frunze Park, where there are many free playgrounds and paid attractions, as well as everyone’s favorite corner of Pushkin’s tale. In Frunze Park there is the first Fanbox extreme park with factory equipment, opened for the 1998 season. People ride mountain bikes and BMX bikes, scooters, roller skates and skateboards. So take with you from Nikolaevka that sports transport that your children love.

The first stage of the Evpatoria water park with an area of ​​3 hectares cost the investor $7.5 million. Another 2 hectares of territory were developed for the 2015 season.

An abundance of antiquities, many of which are displayed right on the street Museum of Local Lore(Polovtsian women and a fragment of excavations of an ancient fortress), festivals and innovative ideas in youth and children's creativity make excursions in Yevpatoria educational, enjoyable, and romantic. The main and oldest center of culture is the Evpatoria Children's Creativity Center " Golden Key"The famous Theater on Stilts and the Puppet Theater came out of it and became independent. They employ long-grown children, but the performances on the stage of the Golden Key are staged with the participation of mainly young artists and are intended for children and parents.

A complex monument of architecture, history and culture is Old city. It was reconstructed for many years under the motto Evpatoria - Little Jerusalem. Here is the famous Friday Juma Jami Mosque, which was built by the famous Turkish architect Haji Sinan. In the mosque, the newly elected Crimean khans swore an oath to the Turkish Sultan and their people. Not far from the mosque there is a monument to the founder of a special poetic style, a classic of literature of the Ottoman Empire, his name is Ashik Omer. Janissary poetry is the name given to his poems and songs about love and fate. He composed them during campaigns with the Janissaries in Europe, Asia and Africa. He collected a lot of capital and built it in his native Evpatoria (then it was Gezlev, concentration of springs Gez, goat is an eye and a spring in Turkic languages, Gezly is a spring, yuve is a nest, focus, abundance). By the way, several ancient Cheshme fountains have been restored in Yevpatoria.

The Turkish baths of the Old Town are in the process of restoration. But you can look at the entire medieval multinational city in the restored city gate tower. The layout of the city changes lighting according to the course of the Sun and Moon in different seasons. A special soundtrack conveys the sounds of the surf, the bazaar and slave market, the calls of the muezzins and the ringing of bells. Opposite the gate tower is Tekie dervishes and the Museum of Crimean Tatar Culture. Tekie is a dwelling for wandering sages, Sufis with a mosque, where special services of the whirling dervishes took place.

In direct visibility from the Juma Jami Mosque is the large Orthodox Cathedral of St. Nicholas in the Russian-Byzantine style. Closer to the port is the Greek Cathedral Church of St. Elias.

In the depths of the Old Town is located Crafts Synagogue, on its second tier there is a small but very interesting exhibition of things from Jewish doctors, tailors and other craft dynasties of Evpatoria. In the complex with the synagogue there is a Jewish restaurant-museum "Yoskin Kot" with master classes for children and adults on national dishes and baked goods, traditional handicrafts, and national Jewish holidays are held.

Karaite kenasa- a special temple of meetings for one of the indigenous peoples of Crimea, they call themselves Karailar, Karai, the word Karaite has taken root in Russian culture. Its meaning is "readers". The head of the family himself reads the Pentateuch of Moses and himself interprets it to his children. The Karaites were a small, but very influential and richest people of Tsarist Russia. They are now scattered all over the world, but it is in Yevpatoria that their main community and main cultural center are located. Next to the kenas there is a famous cafe of Karaite traditional cuisine " Karaman", this word means strong man, strongman, hero, hammerman (blacksmith's assistant).

By the way, you can order and try many national dishes of the peoples of Crimea in numerous cafes near the Fortuna guest house in Nikolaevka. At very affordable prices!

Climate

Nikolaevka is comfortably located on the shores of the Kalamitsky Bay, which runs 13 km into the flat land. The main factor influencing the climate is the Black Sea. In summer it warms up well, and in winter it releases the accumulated heat to the coast. There are many clear sunny days here throughout the year. The average summer temperature is 25 °C, but in July it can reach 40 °C.

Even on hot days, the dry air is softened by the pleasant coolness of the sea. During the winter months, temperatures rarely drop below -3°C. The holiday season begins in mid-May, when the sea water warms up to 16 °C, and lasts until September inclusive. Cold currents, so characteristic of the Crimean coast of the Black Sea, are softened in the bay, on the shore of which Nikolaevka is located.

Beaches

The main thing that attracts vacationers to Nikolaevka is the Black Sea coast of Crimea, so the beaches deserve special attention. They are all similar to each other - they consist of small pebbles, but in some places there are sandy areas. It is interesting that after high tides, the content of sand and pebbles often changes dramatically - where there was one pebble, you can find a sandy shore, and vice versa. The sea near the shore is shallow, the entry into the water is gentle. There are jellyfish in the water.

A characteristic feature of all the beaches in the area of ​​the village is that they can only be reached by going down one of the stairs.

The total length of Nikolaev beaches is 8 km. They start from the boathouse village "Yakor" and end at the border with the village of Beregovoe. In the area of ​​these settlements, the coastline is located under a high cliff. When sunbathing on such wild beaches, due to possible landslides, you need to be careful. The cliff often collapses, covering the shore at its foot with a mountain of yellow clay.

The main beaches of Nikolaevka in the direction from north to south:

• Wild beach in the direction of the village of Frunze;

• Wild beach in the direction of the village of Beregovoe.

The length of the Central Beach is 1300 m. Its width is uneven - a strip of several meters in some places expands to 30 m. At the height of the season, the beach offers many water activities and attractions. There are changing rooms and sun lounger rentals, although you have to queue for them almost in the evening. Due to the large influx of people, many go to the wild beaches south and north of Nikolaevka.

The 5-kilometer small-pebble beach towards Beregovoe village is especially popular. It is chosen by vacationers who have their own transport. It's a long walk from the village, but by car you can quickly get there along a good dirt road. Although the beach is wild, there are no amenities or services, but the water in the sea is very clean. This is where you can feel the maximum connection with nature.

The beaches of the boarding houses are mostly closed, access is only possible from the shore. Sun loungers, canopies, and changing rooms are used exclusively for residents of these boarding houses. In terms of infrastructure, a small number of retail outlets and water activities can be noted.

The well-maintained 150-meter wide beach of the Skif cooperative is one of the most popular on the western coast of Crimea.
