Genichesk and Arabatskaya strelka

Genichesk and Arabatskaya strelka from the same opera as Berdyansk, Kirillovka and Fedotova Spit - rest on the Azov Sea. If you want the Black Sea, you should go to Zatoka.

What resort to choose - Genichesk or the Arabian strelka (Genicheskaya Gorka, Schastlivtsevo, Strelkovoye)?

I decided to drive from Friday to Sunday, in order to explore the vacation spots of Ukrainians, while the border is closed. Did you like it? You can answer that yes, but with a great stretch. Previously always went to the Crimea. Because why go to Genichesk (on the map 1), if to the South Coast is already on hand) And correctly did! If you want to go to the sea for the weekend from the Dnieper, Zaporozhye, then go to Berdyansk. Only because he is closest... In fact, all of the above cities are similar to twins with each other. Arabatska arrow, namely resorts Genicheskaya Gorka (on map 2) and Schaschavtsevo (on map 3) resemble the street Makarov - Spit Berdyansk. The third resort of Arabatskaya Strelka - Strelkovoye (point 4) is a "village" with sovdep type tourist facilities, very similar to Kirillovka, Fedotova Spit and Peresyp. If you still want to choose, you can advise to choose Genicheskaya Gorka and Schastlivtsevo.

Genichesk is the best place to live

The main streets for vacation are Primorskaya and Naberezhnaya. Along the whole coastline you can drive a car. The road runs on top, near the lodges. Seaside street - beautiful views from above, but the beach is specific, in a valley on the rocks, with the sea turf and a disgusting smell... Naberezhnaya street - the main place of rest is a city beach. It looks like a resort, but not a cozy place at all. The beach of concrete slabs...as on building rest) Water very muddy and stink from a stench from a decaying fish discourages all desire to go into water, at least to wet feet. But in the evening to walk along Seaside street on top chic! The views open panoramic.

Genichesk housing prices 2020

Lodging is divided into private and resort cottages with a couple of rooms. Privateers rent part of the house, a summer house, etc. Lodging goes on the type of apartment, with a kitchen and its own bathroom. The price for a night of 700-800 UAH. The peculiarity is that no one wants to rent accommodation for less than three nights! Therefore, it is easier to book via bucking if you only need an overnight stay and if even for 4-7 days is also better to look for accommodation in advance through the Internet. We are talking about full board. If suitable room, housing without a bathroom and kitchen, it may be easier to find. Lodging level sovdep. More expensive and better so easy to find) For two nights changed two options for housing, in Genichesk summer house full board was in Shchashevtsevo - room in the cottage with its own bathroom, but a common kitchen. Of the interesting is the blackout... The light was on and off as if someone was playing. But the most interesting thing is that when the lights went off, the supply of any water, even cold water, would stop... The water from the shower in both rooms then flowed trickle or hit as if the pipe had burst) The smell of water in the tap resembled a sewage gutter... The smell of the water on the faucet was like a sewer... We were brushing our teeth with drinking water. Our room had no soap, no toilet paper, and one didn't even have towels. (A lot of emotions)))

How to get to Genichesk and Arabatskaya strelka?

Route Dnipro - Henichesk all absolutely normal for any level of driver. From Dnieper to Zaporozhye the road is European level. From Zaporozhye through Melitopol to Henichesk road conditions by the standards of Ukraine, even a 5-. Travel time is about 4 hours, with no traffic jams. Avoid traffic jams can be avoided if you do not go on Friday evening in Genichesk, and on Sunday evening back to Dnipro. At this time most cars go. Also launched an electric train Dnepr - Genichesk, travel about 5 hours.

Transport on the Arabatskaya arrow

There is no public transport. Between settlements you can only move by hitchhiking. A lot of people vote along the road. On the arrow itself there are only intercity buses.

Arabatskaya Strelka - beach recreation

There are no private owners. All accommodations for rent, mostly recreation centers, cottages, villas and sometimes boarding houses. You must look for elite lodgings here and book them in advance. A lot of camping cabins ala the 80s, or the new, but similar to housing for construction workers - plastic trailers without conveniences.

The beach here is continuous along the whole spit. The difference is the purity of the beach and the depth of entry into the water:

Genichesky Gorka - mainly the shore is not cleared of mud and there is a smell of rotting algae... The water is almost clear) The water is about 1 km long - shallow at the ankle... All just lie down when tired of walking.

Schastlivtsevo and Strelkovoye - the depth starts faster and the shore is clean!

Sights of Genichesk and Arabatskaya Strelka

•     The Salt Pink Lake in Arabatskaya Strelka is actually the only place of interest. You should definitely come to see it. It looks unusual and beautiful. Something reminiscent of the Turkish travertine in Pamukkale. Turning to the Pink Lake is indicated in the form of a pink sign right on the road in the village Schastlivtsevo. Here you can walk on the "great mud," and then near the wooden houses to wash your feet for free. You can also buy local salt.
•     The Strait of Heniches and the scour are pseudo attractions from the Internet. Ordinary bridges, unremarkable.
•     Market "Hot Spring" on the Arabatskaya arrow - the most valuable thing here is salted fish. To take fish along the highway near Genichesk is not recommended. Because time for time is not necessary. Once took a fish that salted, and then soaked, that it was not overdry, as long sold. Or in general they salted it after freezing... In general, it tasted even worse than in a regular supermarket. But at the Arabastka arrows market, it's not profitable for them to sell low-quality product. More often people first take a couple of pieces to try, and on the second day come and make a bulk purchase. That's how we observed one family's home purchase. And based on their experience, took a little bit of dried steers for 1000 grn) steers are very tasty, there are specially tied with caviar, just abaldennye)
