Impressions from Nikolaevka
Opinions about the resort on the western coast of Crimea are contradictory. Why do tourists like to rest in Nikolaevka? Some admire the healthy climate, friendly people, delicious fruits, clear sea and clean beaches. Others complain about dull steppe landscapes, dust, strong winds and lack of entertainment.
There are problems with water in Western Crimea, but local residents boast that excellent water flows from wells from the taps.
According to reviews, while vacationing in Nikolaevka, you can buy fresh seafood and book an interesting boat excursion.

Irina: "We decided to save a little at the family council because of the crisis. Nikolaevka is what the doctor ordered. There is no industry or gas pollution, cheap fruits and vegetables, shallow sea and steppe air without allergens."
Svetlana: “We went to rest in Nikolaevka for the first time. Relatively inexpensive for Crimea!
What sea and beaches in Nikolaevka
The coast near the village is mainly covered with rounded pebbles and small shells, but there is also a sandy and pebble beach. The depth set is smooth, and the sea is very clean, with a pleasant turquoise hue. Vacationers note that there are no algae in Nikolaevka. The resort is located on the coast of the open sea, so big waves are frequent here.
Free changing cabins are installed on the Central equipped beach. Sun loungers cost 200 rubles per day. There are many tourists during the season, but there are always free places. Vacationers are invited to ride jet skis, catamarans, "bananas" and "cheesecakes".
In the reviews, tourists praise the Wild Beach of Nikolaevka, where there are patches of sand. It is located under clay cliffs near Pribrezhnaya Street. The main disadvantage is that in several places sewage is discharged directly into the sea. In addition, small jellyfish appear in the water after storms.
maggot41: "Pebble beach, there are a lot of vacationers in the mornings and during the day. But in the evening there are much fewer people! The sun sets right into the sea, unlike the promoted resorts on the southern coast of Crimea."

Holidays with children in Nikolaevka
According to tourists, there are two markets and many shops in Nikolaevka. Of the entertainment for children, there are only water attractions on the beach, a small amusement park and a play center on the second floor in the dining room. There are few playgrounds. With an older child, we advise you to go to Saki, Evpatoria or Bakhchisarai.
Tatiana-mgupp: "In June, I and my two children were in Nikolaevka. We chose the Zhemchuzhina guest house and did not regret it. The territory is green, many flowers. We gorged on fruit! The rest was calm, quiet, pleasant and inexpensive."
Interesting or boring at the resort
Nikolaevka is not the most popular Crimean resort. People who are used to entertaining themselves or just want to relax in silence come here. The main attraction of the village is the St. Nicholas Church, which stands alone, behind the football field. Fans of fun go to the evening gatherings in cafes and bars. Loud music does not stop there until the morning.
It is easy to get to other cities of Crimea from the bus station of the resort. Many tourists go on their own to see the sights of Sevastopol, Balaklava, Simferopol and Evpatoria. According to reviews for 2020, for vacationers in Nikolaevka, interesting excursions to the Livadia Palace, Bakhchisarai, to the Swallow's Nest and to the Nikitsky Botanical Garden are conducted.
Miniolla_mmm: "And what sunsets in the evening ... This is an indescribable beauty! What a joy to lie on a blanket with your loved one, drinking a bottle of wine for two and eating Crimean grapes. Romance."
Nikolaevka is located 40 km west of the capital of Crimea. The climate in the village is influenced by the Black Sea and spacious steppes. You can swim at the end of May. According to tourists, in summer there is a lot of sun in Nikolaevka, hot and dry. It rarely rains. The beach season lasts until the end of September. At the beginning of autumn, those who do not tolerate the summer heat come to the village.
SmILeTu: "As residents say, only the local population remains there at the end of August. If you want to relax and at the same time reduce the number of tourists as much as possible, then this is an excellent reason to come there in September."
The Crimean resort is suitable for family holidays by the sea in the summer of 2021. The advantages of Nikolaevka, according to tourists, are relatively low prices for housing and food, tolerable infrastructure and spacious beaches.
You should not expect any special aesthetics from the streets of the village. For most of your vacation, you will have to walk along tall concrete fences and dusty roadsides. But if the only joy is a beach vacation and beautiful sunsets at the sea, it is easy to close your eyes to these shortcomings.
