Kanaka in Crimea: description, location and rest

Kanaka is a Crimean resort practically unknown to most people. But he deserved special attention from tourists.

Visiting Kanaka is a smart move that will delight even those who are quite familiar with other places on the peninsula.

It is appropriate to begin the description of the Kanak Balka with the fact that it is located near Alushta.

More precisely, you should look for it on the map of Crimea in the interval dividing Rybachye and Privetnoye. The gully occupied the space of the federal botanical reserve.

A large number of juniper trees grow on the territory of the Kanaka reserve.

It is no coincidence that in the symbolism of a number of old cultures, this plant denotes victory over death and prolongation of life.

No other species can compare with it in this property. The resort's juniper grove includes over 1000 trees.

Most of them are already from 300 to 400 years old. Individual specimens of juniper grow for at least 700 years.

Another attractive property of Kanaka, according to which she is ahead of even Sudak, is this is her climate.

The development of the resort sphere in Kanak Balka began in 1960. Then they launched the construction of government-level boarding houses.

Later, this section of the coast was occupied by a boarding house for high-ranking military personnel and their own private dachas.

There are many attractive places nearby, including several waterfalls.

The structure of the resort is simple. It includes:

• 2 oldest boarding houses;
• recreation center "Dnepr";
• several smaller recreation centers;
• a number of cottages and hotel facilities.

There is no massive residential development in Kanaka.

This resort does not even meet the criteria of the smallest village.

But this does not interfere with providing holidaymakers with a comfortable stay. A large beach and a significant distance from the main tourist sites, from large highways complete the description.

Therefore, it is relatively calm and good here.

You can leave the village in the same ways, only by swapping the starting and ending points.
