    Falling in Love with Crimea – Russia’s Azure Coast



    Falling in Love with Crimea – Russia’s Azure Coast

    I’ve always wondered — why do so many Russians flock to foreign resorts when Russia has stunning destinations of its own? Is Crimea really that bad that people feel the need to go abroad? To find out, I packed my bags and went to see it for myself.

    And here’s what I discovered in Crimea:
    ✅ A warm and pleasant seaside climate
    ✅ Breathtaking landscapes—sea, mountains, and forests
    ✅ A rich and fascinating history
    ✅ Unique architecture with a touch of grandeur
    ✅ Scenic roads that make every drive a journey
    ✅ Charming towns, each with its own character
    ✅ Endless vineyards and incredible local wine

    Doesn’t that sound like the perfect resort destination? Crimea offers everything — relaxation, beauty, and adventure, all in one place.

    And one more thing: I came to Crimea out of season, and it was the best decision ever! No crowds, no rush — just perfect weather, peace, and a chance to soak in Crimea’s magic in total comfort.

    And yet, despite all this, one question still lingers… Why do so many Russians choose to travel abroad instead of coming here? After this trip, I have even more questions than answers 😅

      Novy Svet and the huge sea-level cavern is where my great unkle Prince Lev Sergeyevich Golitsyn elaborated Crimean champagne and won a gold medal for champagne at the Paris Universal Exposition in 1900. Novy Svet is in the Sudak Municipallity and close to Sudak itself.. My father's family had a vast property.there, near Novy Svet up on the mountain that reaches southward out into the Black Sea.

      As a person who left Gurzuf, Crimea in 1992 (straight after the USSR collapse), I can say that Crimea is a unique place. We left because my family didn’t want to be under Ukrainian rule, wisely predicting that life in Russia would be more stable. I have very fond memories of my school up on the hill, all my friends who either gone to Russia or Kiev or Sevastopol, Artek who at that time was open and even had a private beach but everyone could access it. I went back in 1998 for a vacation and witnessed nothing but a general dilapidation. The old infrustructure had zero investment and people lived on money made during the tourism season. Unfortunately the Pearl of the Black Sea was totally unwanted by the Ukrainian government, and local people were grumpy and cheesed off by years of neglect.

      Whoever Crimea belongs to has nothing whatsoever to do with the USA. They should butt out and mind their own business, which they are not doing to well at with a 36 trillion dollar debt to GDP.
