In connection with the closing of borders because of the coronavirus Russian tourists dreaming of the sea, were forced to change the usual Turkey and Egypt on the Russian coast of the Black sea. Many newfound campers who have previously visited the resorts private except in early childhood. In this regard, some features of holiday in the Crimea turned to the guests of the Peninsula is not only frustration, but serious problems. Stolen money, broken machines in the mountains and faeces in the sea, the correspondent “MK” was vacationing in the Crimea, and found out what not to do on the Peninsula.
“I Stole every penny”. Seasoned travelers know that the most unreliable storage location vacation money in Crimea is a car. Newly vacationers, especially those who rented accommodation in the private sector, it does not have a clue. As a result, some poor manage in the early days to lose all accrued vacation funds. Plastic cards on the Peninsula take not everywhere, for withdrawing money at ATMs of the Commission is taken, therefore, to the delight of the thieves of tourists go to the Crimea with impressive amounts of cash.
– we in the Crimea is not the first season are of a gang of automobile thieves – says a resident of Sudak district. – I their guests were warned that keeping money at home is safer, but they did not listen to me, don’t understand that if we were afraid. From our village to the sea 3 km, all driving. So they rode there every day, with all the savings. Left the car at the coast and they’d go to the beach to sunbathe. Five days after arriving, their car was broken into, lost all remaining vacation money, about 80 thousand rubles. The police, of course, came all around, but the chances that thieves will be caught and return kidnapped, almost none.
fortunately, many vacationers have the brains not to take the sea all the savings. But many still leave the bathing time in the car, expensive gadgets, which also become the prey of robbers. In order not to lose on the Peninsula property, has the meaning of or to swim in the sea at a time, taking valuables to the beach or keep them in rented accommodation. Cases of theft from the rooms and private houses practically not fixed.
“Stuck for the night in the mountains.” In Crimea, a very popular so-called jeeping, tours UAZ in remote mountain regions of the Peninsula, where a private car, it is impossible to pass. However, some ignorant tourists believe that their iron horse every mountain on the shoulder. Such bravado in most cases leads to tragic consequences.
for Example, regularly to see result of human stupidity on a mountain road to the lighthouse at Cape Meganom. With the beginning of the tourist seasonand dangerous route rushed tourists who decided to test the strength of their cars.
– the First time took tourists on this route this year and immediately stumbled upon these would-be tourists, can you imagine what a nightmare start, says the tour guide Andrew. – A pair of 35 years decided to conquer a mountain on your Peugeot. As a result, the tracks they are stuck, sitting belly on the rocks. Out on such a machine is that a lighthouse Keeper would be able, who knows where every stone. Ordinary people just auto kill, well, if yourself do not injure, there are cliffs around. In tow to get them out of the car the mountain is not a problem, here only I do not drive the cable, and they did not have it. Stuck offered me and the other tour jeeps to drag them with beach bags, but this is simply ridiculous, the first spurt and the face of the car boiled. On my refusal tourists have become more and rude, to say that they did not expect that the Crimea – like this poor Peninsula. The question is, who else is in this situation miserable. Don’t know how this story ended. I think that the couple had to spend the night in the mountains. It was evening, yet I will go to the village for a rope, it will be. And traveling that road at night even with the tow, even for more money a more expensive.
“the Whole holiday has been poisoning”. Tourists are accustomed to rest in foreign resorts, practically are not familiar with the typical phenomenon of the black sea coast called rotavirus. In cities and towns located on the coast, sewage goes into the sea without proper treatment. As a result, in the hot season water is formed in E. coli, which causes food poisoning with violent vomiting, diarrhea and fever.
“Came for 10 days with friends on vacation in Koktebel, two days were bought and then a week spent hugging a toilet,” of the standard complaints of tourists. However, even in the Internet enough information about that in this village bathing is not recommended. The sea is so contaminated with sewage that it is possible even to face during the swim from a drifting faeces. Local residents and would never get into such water during the season.
Seasoned travelers suggest to vacationers before a trip yet to find out how things are going with the bathing in the selected area of the Peninsula. As a rule, the cleanest sea in small villages, where the houses are located at a distance from the coast.
