Crimea. Off-season romance. Holidays in Crimea in autumn: water temperature, weather, events. September, October, November Where to relax in the fall in Crimea

Crimea is a little piece of paradise! It is magnificent at any time of the year. Each season brings gifts in its own way. What is Crimea like in autumn?

When is the best time to go to Crimea in autumn?

Local residents say that there are four months of summer in Crimea, adding September to summer. If your first date with Crimea takes place this month, then there is a chance that you will not change the season for your vacation. This is a wonderful month! It's a quiet, clear day. The September tan goes on softly.

Clear sea with warm water. If you have heard stories from friends about how they had to take a place on the beach early in the morning in the summer, then in September there is no such need. There are much fewer vacationers (students, families with schoolchildren have left). But entertainment venues are still open.

Everyone can find a place for themselves for evening leisure. An abundance of fruits and vegetables at affordable prices, delicious Crimean wines and cognacs made from local grape varieties, beautiful weather - everything you need for relaxation. Most often, September in Crimea is exactly like this (sometimes the weather lets you down). Why not the fourth month of summer? After September, October comes imperceptibly.

The weather can indulge in summer warmth even before the middle of the month. But the days are getting shorter and more often you can see fog in the mornings - this is clear evidence that it is already autumn. October is for those who like to relax in silence. Seasonal entertainment venues have already closed. On the beach you won’t be bothered by animators actively inviting you on boat trips.

There is an opportunity to calmly soak up the sun and even swim in the sea. But the main thing, of course, is the nature around. Blooming roses; trees with yellow and red leaves; evergreen pines, cypresses, thujas; ripe bunches of grapes shimmer in the sun with precious amber and ruby ​​- all this creates a feeling of heaven on earth.

And what air! In October it is special in Crimea! Imbued with the smell of the sea; pine needles; flowers and ripe fruits (apples, pears). No perfumer in the world will create such a unique composition! You can entertain yourself with excursions. They are organized all year round. You can go to Bakhchisarai, Yalta, Feodosia, and Nikitsky Botanical Garden without a tour desk. Transport links on the peninsula are well established.

The obvious advantages of going on excursions in October are the weather (traveling in the heat is tiring) and the small number of tourists. November is a real autumn month. Sunny days are increasingly being “diluted” by cloudy days with rain. Strong winds that pierce through, despite above-zero temperatures. But nature continues to delight and surprise.

After a stormy day comes a bright sunny day. On the trees you can see a branch with yellow leaves and a branch with new buds nearby. Roses are blooming next to chrysanthemum bushes. Not much entertainment. But they are not needed for those who come to Crimea in November. It is at this time that you want to be alone with nature: walk on fallen leaves, inhaling the smells of autumn; climb a rock and admire the sea and the opening panorama. It warms you up to think that somewhere it’s already frost and snow, but here it’s warm autumn.

Everyone chooses for themselves what is closer to them. Crimea welcomes guests at any time of the year. Come and see for yourself.

Greetings, friends!

If you are wondering what Crimea is like in the fall, where to go and whether your vacation will be a failure, then I can assure you that only at this time of year you can see the richness of colors in those places that are usually covered with tourists like honeycombs with bees.

I, in turn, suggest you let all your imagination dance, and God forbid don't go into hibernation . So make a list of the best ideas, reserve your strength, and go ahead - autumn Crimea awaits!

Don't be upset if your vacation is in September-October. It was not for nothing that all the nobles chose this particular time to relax on the warm resort shores.

Crimean September may not be hot like autumn (like this year), you will have time to swim in the sea and get a beautiful, safe southern tan.

Also during this period, the most popular festivals are held in different cities - gastronomic, wine, events dedicated to holidays, exhibitions, concerts.

Sightseeing tours in the fall take place quietly - the main flow of tourists has already left for their native land. Prices for souvenirs, tourist services, accommodation and food are becoming lower.

Now let's look at more detailed options for autumn holidays in Crimea.

Echoes of summer - entertainment

Almost until the end of September everything is functioning water parks of Crimea , so just in case you find the sea water chilly, be sure to visit one of them. In the 2017 season, the last water park was open until September 21-23. Take a look, choose the most tempting offer, find out all the details.

Vibrant programs continue in dolphinariums of Crimea . But to know the operating hours and schedule, read.

Excursions: tours, groups, independent visits

Due to the summer heat, many tourists do not complete the maximum program, limiting themselves to morning and evening trips to the sea. Warm and dry autumn in Crimea will provide you with this opportunity 100%.

Make a plan for yourself which attractions you like best:

• famous ;
• caves and cave cities;
• living in Crimea, for example, Chekhov, Voloshin, Green, Korovin, etc.;
• , local history, ethnographic and historical;
• along protected trails, climbs to the Crimean plateau, horseback riding;
• , yachts, motor ships and even catamarans;
• (monasteries, temples, churches);
• and food tours.

You can also order a one-day hike or a multi-day walking tour for the whole family along the most picturesque routes: climb the mountain, carry out a forced march along Great Sevastopol Trail , finally find a mystical altar in the valley of the same name, meet the sunrise in Koktebel, get away from the hustle and bustle in a yoga camp, or, conversely, plunge into the world of extreme sports with a cheerful team.

The last option is very attractive to today’s youth, because being athletic and following a healthy lifestyle is now a trend. See options for the best autumn tours for travelers Here.

For adults only!

Bad weather is not an obstacle to pleasant and educational evenings. Visit famous wine cellars in the rain Massandra or tasting rooms New World and a gloomy day will sparkle with bright colors!

But seriously, in Crimea you will get acquainted with the culture of winemaking and drinking, feel the taste of real wines, learn how viticulture originated in Crimea, and who was in charge of wine drinks on the peninsula.

The only problem is choosing a winery, because each of them produces different brands and varieties of wine. But I have prepared about the most popular wineries in Crimea - the choice is yours.

What to do with children

On fine days with children, be sure to go to the South Coast - Zoo "Fairy Tale" , And "Glade of Fairy Tales" in Yalta they will remember for a long time. A good adventure for older children would be a trip to Belogorsky lion park "Taigan" , V cinema park "Viking" (red cave area).

I think none of the children will refuse to climb into the caves - Marble, Emine-Bair-Khosar (Mammoth), Red Cave and others that you can read about here. Just keep in mind that you need to get there by car, or you will have to join a sightseeing bus tour.

For children of primary school age, it will be interesting to visit the famous circus named after. Tezikov in Simferopol, and the recently opened children's city of professions "KidBurg" .

Almost every city in Crimea has its own aquariums, entertainment venues and complexes, and children's theatrical performances.

For avid "hunters"

Autumn Crimea is the time to go fishing and pick mushrooms. All you need is to know where such places are.

Paid and free pleasure: fishing in Crimea

Sea fishing October is a fun activity. At this time, mullet and mackerel are well caught from the shore almost along the entire Crimean coast. You can go out to the open sea on a boat with fishing rods, the main thing is not to use nets.

In any coastal city you can rent a boat, boat, along with fishing equipment. But if you are interested in the process, and your soul requires nightly gatherings by the fire with stirring aromatic fish soup in a pot, then it’s better go to paid rates and lakes , where, having agreed with the watchmen, you can enjoy real fishing (from 1000 rubles per day per person).

There are also lakes in Crimea, where all sorts of weed fish are found, such as crucian carp, roach, and carp. But in most cases, you can fish “for glory” at paid rates, where the launch, quantity and growth of fish is controlled by the owners. Then you will be pleased with large carp and grass carp.

Worse in terms of catch, but more interesting in terms of recreation and infrastructure "Fishing Villages" . These complexes include accommodation, meals and paid fishing. They are usually stylized as “eco-estates”.

Where to go for mushrooms

Too dry autumn is bad in this regard. But as soon as the autumn rains pass, you can go “hunting”.

In Crimea, the forests in the Belogorsk region are more humid, so there are a lot of mushroom pickers here. Producing well-known places are Bakhchisarai, Kirov, Simferopol districts.

On Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla you can also collect a basket of honey mushrooms, little mice, chanterelles, and saffron milk caps. But oyster mushrooms “love” trees in the forests of the Simferopol region.

Remember, Crimean mushrooms are quite specific in appearance, so if in doubt, better pass by! Better yet, take a local expert and guide at the same time.

Rest for the body

In November it can be chilly and chilly in Crimea. Spend a couple of days in one of the spa centers, where aromatherapy, massages, mud treatments, sauna or Russian bathhouse are used for healing.

Prices in November in such establishments are significantly lower.

Budget options: sanatorium "Poltava-Crimea" Saki, "Michel" Gurzuf, "Alushtinsky" Alushta.

Rest for the soul

From mid-October to the end of November there is a real flower boom! At this time, the most popular festival takes place - the Chrysanthemum Ball. This year the opening of the festival starts on October 26.

But it is not only the flower festival that attracts tourists. There is still a lot of unusual and amazing things here - the largest collection of plants collected from all over the world, themed plant areas, an exhibition of dinosaurs (genuine skeletons), greenhouses, treats and much more, which you can learn about in detail.

Tell your friends!

Crimea becomes especially attractive in autumn. The beaches are no longer crowded with tourists; with the start of the school year, they all went home. The noisy embankments are empty, there are no more crowds in resort towns. The time has come for peace and contemplation. The peninsula increasingly finds itself in dense fog, but at the same time the sea has not yet had time to cool down, but is still just as warm.

Autumn transforms Crimea. In addition to the rich harvest that is harvested in the fall, a new palette of colors also appears. Autumn gives the nature of the peninsula beautiful fiery red shades.

Crimean wine

It is in Crimea that you can become more familiar with the craft of winemaking, taste Crimean wine, and get acquainted with the history of winemaking on the peninsula.

September is also the time for quince to ripen. Rarely does anyone like this fruit fresh; most prefer it in the form of jams and preserves. In October, farmers harvest persimmons, pomegranates, sweet and sour medlars, pears and late apples.

Entertainment does not end in autumn, but rather continues. In Crimea, a large number of events and thematic festivals are held in autumn. This and

In autumn in Crimea there are many ways to relax in nature: hiking in the mountains, visiting attractions, walks on the water, active recreation.

Advice: The end of September - beginning of October is a favorable period for hiking. During the daytime, you can stay under the sun for a long time, but you will no longer feel the heat, and you will not be overtaken by sunstroke or heatstroke.

Hike to the top of Ai-Petri

At night I want to warm myself by the fire with a cup of coffee. For example, climb Ai-Petri through, visit the Orta-Syrt ridge in the Sudak region.

There are not so many vacationers anymore and you can take a walk along the Yalta-Miskhor cable car without long queues, or go on an excursion to palaces located on the southern coast of Crimea, calmly take a photo as a souvenir, without waiting for others to take photos near the attraction.

What to see for those who want to get to know the history of the peninsula better? You will not regret going on excursions to the Livadia and Vorontsov palaces, and nearby, take a look at the Swallow's Nest.

If you decide to go to a resort in the Velvet season, we recommend taking a walk by water transport and seeing Crimea from a new perspective. The particularly impressive and spectacular nature of the rocks is located near Cape Aya, as well as on the road from Yalta to Gaspra.

Cape Aya, Crimea

Tourists who prefer active types of recreation are recommended to go kayaking; autumn is the most suitable time of year for this sport; the sea is still calm and the sun is almost gone.

If you wish, you can ride horses. For this there is the possibility of horseback riding along the slopes of South Demerdzhi.

Almost every coastal city has the opportunity to rent a boat or motorboat, as well as the necessary fishing equipment.

Where to go for mushrooms

After the rain in the autumn, you can get ready to go mushroom hunting. The most “mushroom” place in Crimea is located in the Belogorsk region, all thanks to the moister soil in the forest, where you can collect a large basket of mushrooms. Also suitable places for picking mushrooms are the Bakhchisarai, Kirov, and Simferopol regions.

Crimean mushrooms

According to reviews from mushroom pickers, on the Ai-Petrinsky plateau you can also collect honey mushrooms, mice, chanterelles and saffron milk caps. But you won’t find oyster mushrooms there; these mushrooms have settled in the forests of the Simferopol region.

Who should go at this time are those who appreciate solitude. You can’t even imagine what a thrill it is to walk along an almost deserted embankment in the company of a loved one and enjoy the music of the sea...”

“For medical reasons, our child simply needs recovery in Crimean sanatoriums. The preferred time is autumn. In November we were in Evpatoria. Of course, without swimming in the sea. They simply underwent medical procedures and breathed healthy sea air. The weather at this time is capricious. It can be cloudy in the morning, but by lunchtime the sun comes out and life gets better :).”

Things to do? Make time for your health. There are enough spa centers on the peninsula with excellent saunas and massage rooms. Well, the list of October entertainment is very appropriate: hiking, cycling and horseback riding, fishing, independent excursions.

Sevastopol: TC "Crimea"

Prices for holidays in boarding houses and sanatoriums with accommodation in a double room, treatment and meals 3 times a day - from 5000 rubles. per day.

Coming to the peninsula in late autumn is very profitable financially. Prices for everything are reduced by 2-3 times. For example, a standard hotel room for two can cost only 1000 rubles. per day. It's the same with recovery. Compared to summer, you get savings of 2,000 rubles. in a day.

For lovers of excursion leisure, we recommend staying in Yalta or Alushta. There are enough interesting places in them. In addition, from here you can easily go on an excursion to Feodosia, Sevastopol, Sudak, Bakhchisaray. But it’s better to postpone the option of living in coastal villages until the start of the high season if you don’t want to “die of boredom.”

Of course, it’s not always possible to go on vacation in the summer. But this is not yet a reason to despair. Holidays in Crimea in the fall have a lot of advantages and it’s simply a shame not to take advantage of them!
