Tips for rest in Yalta
To make your vacation as comfortable as possible, we recommend using the advice of experienced travelers:
- when traveling by private car, be sure to inquire about the availability of paid / free parking near the hotel;
- car rental will help you avoid stuffy Yalta minibuses and will allow you to explore the nearby picturesque villages;
- do not "catch" a taxi on the street - the price will be overpriced; use local services to call a car;
- July-August are considered to be the highest and most expensive months; more favorable periods for a trip are June and September (however, it should be borne in mind that the sea for children in Yalta at the very beginning of summer can be cool).
As tourists write on the Otzovik website, the resort town has a large selection of housing, and landlords meet everyone who arrives at the station with signs. However, the best options start booking in March.
Housing prices strongly depend on the location - the closer to the sea, the more expensive. Therefore, if the budget for a trip is limited, you can consider options more distant from the coast, especially since Yalta is a small city in length.
On a note
Travel to nearby towns and villages - to Livadia, Gaspra, Foros, Nikita, Gurzuf, Partenit and Alupka - will allow you to diversify your vacation. One day can be allocated for sightseeing in each resort.
Yalta is popular with families with children. Accommodation in one of the best hotels with children's zones and animation programs will make the rest comfortable not only for little travelers, but also for their parents.
