8 best resorts in Crimea

The clean mountain air of the Crimea, the clear waters of the Black Sea and untouched nature serve as excellent antidepressants, and modern sanatoriums enhance the effect of the unique climate on the body with the help of wellness and relaxation procedures. Choosing a place to stay will not be a problem for those who have decided on their desires and goals: whether it will be an active journey with healing elements or calm therapy by the water and complete relaxation.

We have collected the best resorts that offer a variety of holidays for all categories of vacationers. It remains only to choose a place that meets the needs of tourists to a greater extent. One of the main criteria that takes into account the rating is the location of the resort. Not always the most central places offer the best service and treatment. Small unpopular places far from tourist interchanges often better preserve untouched nature, clear sea and clean air.

Without fail, we paid attention to the services that are provided free of charge to residents. Some sanatoriums formulate treatment as "climatotherapy". This means that many procedures will be paid, and without payment, residents will receive walks in the park, swimming in the sea and outdoor recreation.
