Why do many people come to Feodosia from year to year? One of the oldest cities in Crimea has a special charm. Read reviews of tourists about holidays in Feodosia in 2020-2021 and you will understand why it is worth going there.
Impressions from Feodosia
The resort town in the southeast of Crimea is loved for its rich history, relaxed atmosphere, old Art Nouveau dachas and interesting museums. Almost all vacationers leave positive reviews about Feodosia. Neither the port, nor the drains in the sea, nor the railway laid along the coast spoil the good impression of the cozy green streets of Feodosia.
The only thing that upsets us is the insufficient infrastructure and low level of service. Sophisticated tourists who have visited Turkey, and even more so in Europe, are unhappy with the fact that Feodosia has to pay for a vacation at the level of foreign resorts, and in return you get much less than you expect.
Alenasteel26: "Feodosia - given by God. Looking at the emerald green of the trees, the sandy relief of the hills, the golden sand and the indescribable color of the sea surface, I completely agreed with those Greeks who gave the name to this magnificent land."
larisa-zakirova: "We went to Yalta and Feodosia last summer with my husband and child. Yes, there is still a lot to do in terms of service, it is difficult to pay by card, but we liked the rest."
Is it expensive to rest in Feodosia
According to reviews, prices for holidays in Feodosia are lower than in Yalta, Alupka or Alushta, but higher than in small resort villages. In the high season of 2021, a double room in a mini-hotel or a guest house is rented from 2000 rubles. A room in a 4 * hotel costs from 4000 rubles per day.
It is difficult to find housing in Crimea because of the sanctions, but there are still several convenient services. Look for hotels on Hotellook, and private accommodation on Daily. Do not trust the ads on Avito and similar sites. Book accommodation in Crimea only on reliable services with real photos and reviews of tourists, so as not to get a pig in a poke.
Food in restaurants and cafes, especially near the sea, is expensive. If you want to save some money, dine at local eateries. A hearty set lunch in the Home-Style dining room costs 350 rubles. Many tourists rent accommodation with a kitchen and cook themselves. They advise buying groceries in supermarkets in the city center.
Marusya1955: "In supermarkets you can buy ready-made food at attractive prices. It is much more profitable to buy food than in the market."
Evgeniya150595: "Feodosia is not a very developed city. There are no chain stores, for example, Magnit, Pyaterochka, Verny. Food prices are much higher than in our Veliky Novgorod. ...
What is the sea and beaches in Feodosia
The coastal strip with pebble, sandy-pebble and sandy beaches stretches for 15 km and is up to 35 m wide. Tourists note that almost the entire coast is kept clean. There are cafes near the beaches. Rent of sun loungers costs 250 rubles.
Sea water is relatively clean and clear. In reviews for 2020, vacationers praised the beaches of Feodosia "Pearl", "Golden", "Scarlet Sails", "Bounty", "Dynamo", "Kameshki" and "Club-117".
There are also problems. Local residents say that the city emits harmful emissions into the Feodosiya Gulf, so in the summer every day one of the bathers gets poisoned. After people inadvertently swallow sea water, their temperature rises, vomiting and diarrhea begin.
avrmchk: "The beach is good, but it was jam-packed. The sand, the water is unclear, the big jellyfish were swimming. I touched one by accident - I got goosebumps."

hasini: "It turned out that with the onset of evening there are a lot of gluttonous mosquitoes. They almost ate us and we had to retreat. The child had large bite spots, it's good that I took antihistamines with me."
Interesting or boring at the resort
Feodosia was founded in the 6th century BC. The historic center is small. All sights - parks, museums, an art gallery and Aivazovsky Avenue are easy to get around in a couple of days.
Tourists like that the center of resort recreation - the embankment of Feodosia - is crowded both in the afternoon and in the evening. There is a brisk trade, eateries and kebabs work, street musicians perform, artists draw. In the evening, the waterfront includes bright lights. Discos are held every evening near the beaches "Zolotoy" and "Scarlet Sails".
Alexey-go: "The city is not for young people, it's boring and there is nothing to see. If you want adventure and beauty, you need to go by car or rent it on the spot. To see a lot of interesting things, you need to move around the entire peninsula, there is nothing interesting in Feodosia can not found".

Reviews about Feodosia: we draw conclusions
According to tourists' reviews, a vacation in Feodosia in 2021 has many advantages - a mild climate, an interesting history and good beaches. The resort has a lot to see, and from here it is convenient to travel to other attractions of the peninsula.
