What to do on your vacation in March 2021?
In March, not too many tourists visit Crimea - nevertheless, first of all, they go to the peninsula for a beach holiday. And in vain - a vacation in March in Crimea can become unforgettable.
When in the north and in central Russia it is cold and slush outside the window, in Crimea everything opens up towards the sun. Buds open on the trees, the grass turns green, snowdrops, hyacinths, daffodils, and, most importantly, almonds bloom. The air is filled with aromas - it's time to go to the mountains and do naturalism. In the mountains, of course, it is colder, and in the evenings it is cool on the seashore, so take both warm and light clothes for rest.
In addition, an excursion program will be an excellent option for rest in Crimea in March - when will you still be able to see the Vorontsov Palace and the Swallow's Nest without crowds of tourists? We also recommend visiting the famous Nikitsky Botanical Garden, which is especially beautiful in spring.
Rest in Crimea in April
Weather in April in Crimea
The weather in April in Crimea is even more wonderful - spring is in full swing. The sun is shining brightly, warmth, everything is blooming around - why not heaven? The mountain slopes are covered with verdant vineyards, and the peach and apple orchards are pale pink. The temperature in Crimea in April is kept at around + 20 ° С, there are no frosts at night. It is still impossible to swim, the sea has not warmed up, but it is quite possible to sunbathe on the beach and ride pleasure boats.
What to do on your vacation in April 2021?
Since the average temperature is + 20 ° C, it is already quite comfortable to walk in the mountains. In addition to the mountains, you can go to the steppe - the blooming steppe can be seen only in spring. In the summer in Crimea, everything will change: instead of flowering meadows, there will be thorny grass scorched by the sun.
In April, the first tourists are already beginning to arrive - lovers of trekking walks and hikes. Perhaps April can really be considered an ideal month for visiting the Crimean Mountains: everything is blooming all around and there is no sweltering heat, and at night it is no longer as cold as in March. In April, it is worth climbing Ai-Petri, until there is a huge flow of visitors breaking through to the funicular. Or, conversely, go up the path, and go down the funicular.
Do not forget about the sights - what kind of rest in Crimea is without them? In April, we recommend visiting Chufut-Kale in Bakhchisarai - in summer it is quite difficult to walk there, and there are too many people who want to see the ancient stone city.
What are the benefits of a vacation in Crimea in April? Low prices, minimal number of tourists, blooming nature, warm sunny weather, not too scorching sun, which allows you to sunbathe on the beach and climb the mountains - in general, Crimea in April is definitely worth a visit!
Rest in Crimea in May
Weather in May in Crimea
The weather in May in Crimea is more reminiscent of summer than spring: it is already hot and from the middle of the month the swimming season begins. But the May weather is changeable: sometimes the heat is replaced by short-term showers and even hail, as well as a cold snap.
The temperature in Crimea in May reaches + 30 ° С, the water in the middle of the month warms up to +17 ... + 18 ° С. From this moment, many open the swimming season, although the most impatient ones risk swimming at the end of April.
What to do on your vacation in May 2021?
May is in many ways similar to April - everything around continues to grow and bloom uncontrollably. It is especially pleasant to walk in parks or climb mountains among all this splendor.
In May, the flow of tourists increases significantly - largely due to the opening of the season and the May holidays. Prices are gradually increasing, the air temperature rises, the sea warms up - spring gives way to summer. It is easy to find accommodation, but if your vacation falls on the May holidays and weekends, we recommend that you make a reservation in advance.
So, what to do on vacation in Crimea in May 2021:
- Firstly, you can already swim - well, or at least sunbathe if you prefer warmer water. Read about the beaches of Crimea to choose the best one.
- Secondly, walks along the capes-mountains and the environs: you will not see such a blooming Crimea in the summer.
- Thirdly, of course, museums and sights: there are no queues, no drying up heat - you can calmly, without fuss, get acquainted with the ancient history of Crimea.
5 reasons to go to Crimea in spring
For three weeks in May, we traveled by car the entire peninsula up and down, but not once. We have chosen the period before the high season on purpose. I knew it would be good here at the end of spring, but the reality even exceeded my expectations. Why is Crimea so good on the eve of the season?
- Few people. Spacious, free, quiet! The attractions have no queues or crowds of tourists. No one walks in shorts along the embankment and the streets, they don't suck beer, they don't sing songs. No chanson and Leps (maximum "Hands Up", but in moderation). The spring contingent in Crimea is much more adequate than the summer one - the atmosphere is pleasant and calm. Cozy!
- Not hot... In May, it is already warm in summer, but still quite fresh. Ideal temperature: + 25 ° С during the day, + 17 ° С in the evening. This weather is perfect for walking in the mountains - this is the main entertainment in Crimea. But, alas, the water is cool (+ 18 ° C) and it rains from time to time.
- See Crimea green... In the summer, the sun will burn out all the vegetation on the peninsula, and it will be yellow. You can see the nature of Crimea in bright colors only in spring.
- Poppy fields... Poppies bloom in Crimea in May, and it's worth seeing! At first, unknowingly, we started a hunt for the famous Crimean poppy fields. It soon became clear: there was no need to chase after them - there are many bright red islands in the steppes. The largest poppy plantations can be seen along the road from Evpatoria to Tarkhankut.
- Cheap... It is much cheaper to have a rest in Crimea before the start of the season. We rent a double room in a decent guest house for 500-1200 rubles, in a hotel - for 1000 rubles. Teas, souvenirs, excursions - all this is also cheaper than at the height of summer. The choice of accommodation is good - book at least the same day, not six months in advance. During the season, housing prices will rise 2-3 times.
