A gorgeous corner of Crimea with a subtropical nature - isn't that a dream? We collected reviews of vacationers for 2020 about the resort Gaspra. Is it possible to relax in a popular village on the southern coast of Crimea in the summer of 2021 and not go broke?
Impressions from Gaspra
Gaspra has beautiful views of the mountains and the sea, clean air and a large park. The picturesque Crimean resort has been falling in love with itself for more than a century. It is no coincidence that Emperor Nicholas II, eminent princes and writers liked to rest here.
Modern Gaspra lies on terraces. The first line from the sea is occupied by the sanatoriums of Nizhnyaya Gaspra. Above, there are guest houses and the private sector, and at the very top there is a village where local residents live - Upper Gaspra. Near the beaches there is an embankment of the resort with a length of about 500 m.
Olga Meduza: "The impressions remained indelible: nature, clean air, a huge number of conifers, excursions for every taste."
E Falcon: "Gaspra is located in the mountains, and the sea is below. It is very difficult to crawl up in the heat. This is not just a staircase of two or three steps, but a very steep climb. Elderly people, families with children and simply physically unprepared people are not easily given such loads ".
Is it expensive to rest in Gaspra
Housing prices are lower than in Yalta, but higher than in the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory. It is quite natural, because you have to pay for the pleasure of living on the southern coast of Crimea! In the summer of 2021, a one-room apartment or a room in a guest house in Gaspra can be rented for 1,500 rubles per day. A double room in a budget hotel costs 2000-2500 rubles.
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.
Prices in cafes and restaurants in Gaspra, according to tourists, are almost Moscow. For this reason, many vacationers rent accommodation with a kitchen and cook themselves. The groceries are cheaper in stores that are farther from the sea.
lillio: "We were at the beginning of June and the prices were the same as ours, everything was acceptable."
E Falcon: "You can use the services of the cable car, which belongs to the sanatorium" Marat ". For Marat residents, travel is free. If you are not from there, then you will get in a double cabin from the bottom up for 250 rubles per person. Let's say a family of three. Each once for this pleasure you will have to pay 750 rubles. My budget will not bear such daily expenses. "
What sea and beaches in Gaspra
Tourists are happy to note that the sea in Gaspra is clean. Water is especially clear in the morning. Jellyfish rarely swim to the shore. The depth increases gradually, so it is safe with small children.
The beaches are mostly pebbly, with small rounded stones. There are beaches with healing dark sand. Please note that it is only for guests to use the elevators and funiculars to the beaches that are owned by hotels and resorts free of charge.
A steep staircase leads to the sea. It is all in the shade, so in the heat it is not so difficult to descend, but do not forget that you still need to climb back to the village! Can you imagine how difficult it is for older tourists and families with small children?
Orelgrad: "The embankment is loudly said. There is a small, reclaimed from the mountains, a plot over the sea. There are benches and armchairs to sit, music is playing. Is it not enough for a small village? We can say about the beaches that there are none - sections separated by piers."

Holidays with children in Gaspra
According to reviews, Gaspra is suitable for everyone who wants to take a child to the warm sea. There are no mosquitoes at this resort, so you can safely walk in the fresh air with your children and sleep with the windows open.
While on holiday in Gaspra, take a cable car ride, visit the Little Farm petting zoo and enjoy a zipline flight at Skypark near the Swallow's Nest.
Vacationers with small children are advised to settle closer to the sea, so as not to suffer from constant ups and downs.
Leech: "We decided to rest for a week in September, but I think that we did not guess right! Crimea is still very far from a comfortable and convenient resting place, and with small children, there is nothing to do there! Mountains and hills, to go down to the sea and getting up is just a problem, especially in the heat. "
A calm and quiet resort is the ultimate dream for everyone who wants to relax in the summer of 2021 without noisy parties and discos. If you want entertainment, you can go to Yalta. The bus fare is 43 rubles. But keep in mind that during the high season, public transport on the southern coast of Crimea is packed to capacity.
While on vacation in Gaspra, tourists go to the Swallow's Nest, walk in the park near the Charax Palace, along the Sun Trail and go on boat trips along the South Coast. Excursions around the neighborhood are popular - to the palace of Countess Panina, to Ai-Petri, to Massandra, Livadia and the Vorontsov Palace.
elena22zx: "At present, Panina's palace is in disrepair. The main facade is even more or less, but the south side is in complete decline. The glass is broken, wooden frames and doors are cracked, everything is scrawled and covered with rubbish. The park next to the palace also looks unkempt and abandoned. A sad sight. "
