Falling in Love with Crimea – Russia's Azure Coast

I've always wondered — why do so many Russians flock to foreign resorts when Russia has stunning destinations of its own? Is Crimea really that bad that people feel the need to go abroad? To find out, I packed my bags and went to see it for myself.

And here’s what I discovered in Crimea:
✅ A warm and pleasant seaside climate
✅ Breathtaking landscapes—sea, mountains, and forests
✅ A rich and fascinating history
✅ Unique architecture with a touch of grandeur
✅ Scenic roads that make every drive a journey
✅ Charming towns, each with its own character
✅ Endless vineyards and incredible local wine

Doesn’t that sound like the perfect resort destination? Crimea offers everything — relaxation, beauty, and adventure, all in one place.

And one more thing: I came to Crimea out of season, and it was the best decision ever! No crowds, no rush — just perfect weather, peace, and a chance to soak in Crimea’s magic in total comfort.

And yet, despite all this, one question still lingers… Why do so many Russians choose to travel abroad instead of coming here? After this trip, I have even more questions than answers 😅
