Where is the village of Simeiz in Crimea? History of Simeiz. Extreme Sports

This is a typical South Coast resort - mountainous, with steep slopes to narrow pebble beaches, with an abundance of greenery and parks and quite high prices to rest.

In Simeiz, the opportunity for a calm, measured holiday and a stormy nightlife. There are conditions for both.

Thanks to the healing microclimate, several sanatoriums operate in Simeiz. Treatment profile: diseases of the respiratory system, nervous and cardiovascular systems, tuberculosis.

Another feature is that for some reason Simeiz has become popular among gay tourists since the late 80s of the last century. Today, Simeiz is still in demand as a holiday destination for representatives of the LGBT community. There are hotels and clubs in the village that are not open to everyone.

And, besides, rock climbers really love Simeiz. This sport is very developed in the village. You can buy all the necessary equipment; there are many trails of different levels.

Infrastructure of Simiz

The village has everything you need for a holiday. This is of course not Big city with excellent developed infrastructure, but cafes, restaurants, clubs, pharmacies, housing for every taste - all this is present. Yes, there are areas on the outskirts of the village where there may not even be lighting, and it’s a long walk to the center. Therefore, when choosing housing in Simeiz, you need to be more careful with the location. The busiest and most convenient place is the center - the areas bounded by Sovetskaya and Lenin streets. From Sovetskaya street convenient descent to the beach. Not everywhere there are such; in some places you will have to go down the stairs. If you come on vacation with a small child, this will simply be impossible.

From Simeiz it is quite convenient to go on excursions to the sights of the South Coast. This fact is also worth noting, since it is not typical for all resorts, even those on the South Coast.

Beaches of Simeiz

As I already mentioned, the beaches in Simeiz are pebbly, large-pebble and rocky. Quite typical for the South Coast resort. There may be large stones at the entrance to the water.

The most convenient beach is Central City Beach. You can go down to it along the street. Sovetskaya, through a picturesque park with delightful air and funny inhabitants. The beach is equipped with everything you need. During the season it is incredibly crowded. Here is an interesting landmark of Simeiz - the Diva rock. You can climb it to take a couple of great photos. Or dive into the Black Sea.

Beaches of Simeiz

Behind the Diva rock is the compact Coral beach. You can get to him through the san. Youth. For those who are staying in the area of Ave. im. Lenina is the nearest beach.

On the opposite side of the village, in the easternmost part of the coast, there are boathouse beaches. The beach here is small-pebble, equipped and quite comfortable. If you stay in a boathouse, the sea is literally two steps away. But such pleasure will not come cheap.

Behind him stretched the Moscow beach. It is named after the children's sanatorium, to whose territory it belongs. Ideal for a holiday with children. There are few people here, the entrance is gentle, and the beach itself is small pebbles.

Directly below the picturesque park San. Simeiz - Naryshkinskie stones beach. It is not equipped, there is only a sun canopy. And the entrance itself is rocky. Fans of snorkeling love to relax here. For children there is a tiny bay, fenced with the same stones.

What to see in Simeiz

It's nice to wander around Simeiz. Narrow streets, plenty of greenery, interesting buildings, parks - everything is conducive to leisurely walks.

I have already mentioned one attraction - rock Diva, which is on the Central Beach of Simeiz. Filmmakers love this very rock. She managed to appear in the films “Sappho”, “Ten Little Indians”, “Savages”, “Amphibian Man”.

Above Central beach another one rises interesting rock – Panea. From here you have a stunning view of the village. And while walking along the mountain, you can stumble upon the ruins of ancient defensive structures.

Right there, above the beach and the Diva rock - fragrant park Simeiz. Not only is the park clean, well-groomed and very beautiful, but there are also such smells in the air that words cannot describe it.

Leads to the park Cypress Alley- another attraction of Simeiz. A beautiful well-kept place decorated with statues.

Simeiz village. General information

Simeiz is an urban village on the southern coast of Crimea, a large resort and health resort of national importance. The village of Simeiz is located between the city of Alupka and the village of Katsiveli on the eastern slope of Mount Koshka. The eastern border of the village with Alupka runs between the Medvedchuk Palace (Simeiz) and the Bobrov Sanatorium (Alupka). The western border of the village of Simeiz runs between the Blue Bay water park and the radio telescope (this is Katsiveli). The village is bordered from the north by the Yalta-Sevastopol highway. The central street of the village of Simeiz - Sovetskaya Street - divides locality into two parts. At the bottom there are large sanatoriums, on the territory of which there is a large and best part pre-revolutionary resort, in the upper - private sector and the lion's share of private hotels and inns.

The population of the village of Simeiz is about four thousand people, and taking into account its satellites Katsiveli, Ponizovka, Blue Bay, Opolznevoy, Kastropol and Parkovoy - almost seven thousand inhabitants. IN high season these villages will be able to accommodate up to one hundred thousand vacationers at a time.

Nature and climate of the village of Simeiz

The village of Simeiz is located on a coastal slope, which at the beginning of the nineteenth century seemed steep and even dangerous to travelers. Now the settlement is covered by a network of roads, but the slope remains solid, which is why local roads are laid with serpentines. In addition to the already mentioned Sovetskaya, the main streets of the village of Simeiz are Gorky, Lugovsky, Vasilchenko and Krasnomayakskaya streets in the western part of the village, and Zvezdnaya, Ganskogo and Baranova in the eastern part.

The coastal part of the village has good, albeit small, beaches.
In the western part, the proximity to Mount Cat has a negative impact on the quality of the beaches - everything is covered with large stones and even fragments of rocks. The rocks Diva, Panea and the Swan's Wing form the suite of Mount Cat, which itself is the end of the small Limensky ridge, mobile and, like every limestone formation, fragile. The indicated fragility of the limestone rock leads to the destruction of Mount Koshka and the formation of stone chaos both on its eastern and southern slopes. The southern stone chaos, which in our time has become a conservation zone along with its water area, does not give the resort a single chance to grow in a westerly direction.

The eastern coast of the village of Simeiz also cannot boast good beaches- there are too many stones and large pebbles, the coastal zones are too narrow, which are claimed by thousands of vacationers.

The village of Simeiz can confidently be called green village. Despite the ongoing construction, visually this settlement gives the impression of a green island among a pile of rocks and stones near Mount Koshka.

Large generations of juniper grow in Simeiz, especially in the lower park and on the seemingly barren stones of stone chaos. Juniper became one of the reasons for the opening of so many anti-tuberculosis sanatoriums in the village of Simeiz, because science already knows the important role of phytoncides of this coniferous species in the fight against pulmonary diseases.

There are countless cypress trees in Simeiz; they grow wherever there is room. In the parks you can see many exotic trees and shrubs, but in the village of Simeiz itself, it is not palm trees that hold the palm, but the same cypresses, pines and figs.

Simeiz is famous for its warm and dry climate. It is well protected by Mount Cat from the western and northwestern winds. The mountains of the Main Range above the village in this part are higher than above the same Kastropol and Foros. Summers here are very mild, rain falls sporadically, strong winds infrequent. Winter comes late, the warmth sometimes recedes closer to November, and you can swim in the sea until mid-October. True, spring comes to the village of Simeiz later than in Simferopol - at the end of April, and spring can be windy and whiny, although it is extremely cold in Simeiz, and sub-zero temperatures during the day occur on a few days a year.

The legend of Simeiz - how the village came to be

History says that it arose before our era. At the gates of Simeiz, archaeologists discovered a settlement of Taurians who lived in ancient times. Simeiz served as a shelter - fortresses and fortifications were built on its territory. Near Mount Koshka there are burial grounds of the Taurians.

Later, the territory of Simeiz passed to the Genoese, and then to the Ottomans. They turned it into a small village.

Since 1828, the settlement passed from hand to hand for a long time. In the 20th century, the resort village of New Simeiz was built on the territory. Construction of a park and cottages has begun.

During the war, in 1941, local residents became partisans. Simeiz was occupied, many residents died. In 1944 it was liberated by Soviet troops.

Story

In the 1st century BC. Tauris lived on the territory of the village. During the construction of dachas in the 20th century, amphorae, flint tools and clay dishes were discovered in this area. The Tauri were hostile to the rest of the civilized world, they were engaged in piracy and sacrificial rituals. Living by the sea, the Taurians did not build ships, they only plundered shipwrecks. Stone burial boxes, the so-called dolmens, have been preserved in Simeiz. In the 2nd-3rd century BC. the Tauri tribes disappeared and the territory was empty for many years.

In the 4th-7th centuries, Alans and Goths lived on the territory of Simeiz. After capturing Crimea, the Turks dominated this territory for about 300 years. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the population of Simeiz increased. Residents of the Caucasus and Asia Minor began to move here. In the 18th century, Crimea was annexed to Russia.

Until the 19th century in Simeiz there were 18 farmsteads on the western side and 21 farmsteads on the east side. In total, no more than 200 people lived on the territory. By the middle of the 19th century, 400 people lived in Simeiz.

Since 1828, since the time when Second Major I.A. Maltsov acquired land in Simeiz, a lot of things have changed. The peculiarity of the further construction of buildings was that the major did not build new dachas, but improved the railway cars. Thus, about 10 such dachas were made, where not too wealthy tourists could come to relax.

The Maltsov brothers gradually began investing cash in the development of the village. The water supply and sewerage system was designed by engineer Ya.P. Semenov, more than 5 km of streets were laid.

In 1912, the population of the village was 550 people, and the first tourists appeared. Prince G. Potemkin was one of the first to acquire land in Simeiz. He started oil plantations. Landscape park appeared in the village thanks to the efforts of Countess A.S. Pototskaya.

In 1913, 89 plots that were improved by the Maltsov brothers were sold for 5-25 rubles per 1 sq.m. The lands were sold only with the understanding that dachas and boarding houses would be built on this territory.

In 1941, the village was occupied by the Germans until 1944. Simeiz recovered closer to 1955. Holiday homes and boarding houses were created: Moscow, Simeiz, Pioneer, Yunost, Red Mayak and Blue Bay. In Simeiz, special attention is paid to winemaking; wine cellars, which have survived to this day.

Sights and excursions

There are many interesting and varied attractions on the territory of Simeiz and its surroundings.

The Tauride Castle, built on the ruins of a defensive structure in the 14th century, is very well preserved. From the top of the mountain there are amazing panoramic views, and its sides are represented by rocky cliffs.

Rock Diva. This is also a natural monument, beckoning with its splendor. It consists of limestone, height 45 m. At the top there is Observation deck. If you look at the rock from the sea, you can see the profile of a girl. The rock was photographed during the filming of films such as 10 Little Indians and Amphibian Man. The Diva Rock, like the previous attraction, is included in the coat of arms of the village of Simeiz.

Simeiz Observatory. She is astronomical and research. It was built in 1912. This is one of the oldest Crimean observatories. When the Nazis occupied the peninsula, they could not leave it alone, as a result of which it was destroyed and looted. The telescopic part was taken to Germany. She was found there in 1945, her condition left much to be desired. Almost immediately it was restored, and later completely refurbished.

Juma-Jami Mosque. The building was built at the beginning of the last century. When power passed to the USSR, it was operated as a kindergarten, a holiday home and even a police station. In 22, the minaret collapsed. Only in 1994 the mosque was handed over to Muslims. Not long ago it was completely restored.
Villas “Dream” and “Ksenia”. The first of them was erected in 1911 in oriental style. The building is very beautiful, it is compared to the palace of the padishah. Two years later, the villa “Ksenia” was built not far from it. Countess Chuykevich owned it, but she had never been in the house, which was distinguished by its grace, Gothic balconies, windows, and sharp roofing. Later, the villa became first a hotel, then a house with communal apartments. Unfortunately, today the appearance of this building is terrifying; locals call it a haunted house, which is perhaps why it never ceases to attract tourists.

Pension N.K. Alexandrova-Dolnik. This is the largest building of the pre-revolutionary era. The building consists of 3 floors in the style of neo-Renaissance and neoclassicism. The apartments were built to simultaneously accommodate 70 people.
