Rest in Uchkuevka (Crimea): housing and entertainment
The resorts of Crimea are not only urban centers, but also smaller villages. Among them, Uchkuevka stands out for its comfort and improvement. Visitors to this place should be well aware of its features, accommodation options and attractions.
Where is?
It is not difficult to find Uchkuevka on the Crimea map. It occupies the northern region of Sevastopol and directly overlooks the sandy stretch of the coast. There is a forest park around. This area is characterized by a hot subtropical climate. The duration of the swimming season reaches 4 months. The resort is located in the coastal part of the village of the same name. To the north is Lyubimovka. To the south, there are 3 residential areas adjacent to Uchkuevka:
- "Sail";
- "Forester";
- "Pine Grove".
What it is?
The village of Uchkuevka is considered by many locals, as well as tourists, to be an excellent place for leisure in summer. An excellent resort infrastructure has been prepared here. The overwhelming part of the territory is occupied by hotels and boarding houses. Another advantage of the resort can be considered a good arrangement of the beach. The comfort and convenience of Uchkuevka is largely related to:
- short distance to the sea;
- forest belts;
- extensive vineyards;
- a long sandy beach (over 2 km);
- optimal cost of hotel services;
- the ease of arrival in the village.
The historical name of the village literally means “three wells”. A small village under this name existed here in the Middle Ages. As Sevastopol grew, it was already absorbed by it in times closer to us. A characteristic feature of Uchkuevka is reliable transport links with all parts of the hero-city.
The coast here juts out into the open sea. Vacationers assess this fact differently. Some travelers consider it a virtue, while others consider it a negative side. The local beach is much larger than usual in the bays (both in length and in width).
The sea water is very clean. However, it must be borne in mind that on windy days there is completely no protection from waves.
Where to stay?
The highest prices are naturally presented by the hotels located on the embankment. It contains many restaurants, cafes and discos. Hotel guests in this part of Uchkuevka can easily enjoy the delicacies of Russian, European and Asian cuisine. The road from here to the market and shops takes no more than 10-15 minutes. Those tourists who want to sunbathe more than get acquainted with the sights should stop in Uchkuevka for rest.
There are many hotels and other accommodation of various levels close to the beach. In most cases, there are comfortable, inexpensive facilities designed for family leisure. A striking example is the Lazur complex, as well as Albatross and Elena. They have budget class rooms and suites with increased convenience. All such facilities are located fairly close to the coast.
If you are going to spend time on a more budgetary basis, you should give preference to:
- "Vladimirsky berth";
- "Sail";
- "Dache Negrescu".
But the problem is that it is hardly possible to consider such establishments located by the sea directly. Some of the guest houses offer shared kitchens for those who are ready to cook their own food. However, those guests who do not want to do this will also find decent places for themselves.
Deserves a separate discussion auto camping "Uchkuevka". An equipped dining room is located on its territory. There are one-room summer houses for 2, 3 or 4 people at the same time. Some houses correspond to the junior suite or even VIP level. There is a sandy beach close to the camping. The locals love to have a rest on it, and tourists keep up with them. Along with the classic beach activities, they can offer enduro motorcycle tours to attractions such as Mangup Kale and Eski Carmen.
Some tourists who love extreme sports can prepare for parachute jumps and make them. For an additional fee, you can also fly on light aircraft. The territory of the camping "Uchkuevka" is thoroughly fenced. Guests of any of the houses can use the services:

- a cafe;
- Russian bath;
- hygiene room;
- medical station.
Parking spaces are located directly next to the residential part of the campsite. Guests, in agreement with the administration, set up tents in separate places. In addition to the cafe, the clients of the establishment have access to a bar and a modest restaurant. Some may prefer to shop for groceries and prepare them on their own. As the administration says, the campsite is perfect for families with children.
They will definitely be delighted with the water attractions and the playground. The beach at Uchkuevka rents umbrellas and sun loungers. The tent sites on the Green Island are located exactly under the trees, which cast thick shade. Additionally, it is worth emphasizing:
- campfire equipment;
- the presence of tracks;
- the presence of barbecues, showers and sinks;
- constant care of the territory;
- walking distance to the embankment, public transport stops.
As for accommodation in the private sector, some tourists try to look for places there immediately upon arrival. When addressing local residents, you can count on a vacation for 1000-1500 rubles per day. But such a solution, of course, does not give any guarantees. The cheapest private houses are located quite far from the sea. However, from the point of view of getting to know the city, this is more likely not a disadvantage, but an advantage.
By Crimean standards, even when compared with the leading resort places such as Evpatoria, prices in Uchkuevka can hardly be called low. Even the absence of a special entertainment infrastructure in a part of the village far from the sea does not interfere with setting a high cost.
The quality of the roads in the private sector is not very good, for the most part there is not even a hard surface. An exception is the paths leading to the beach.
The beach strip is covered with sand mixed with shell rock. Great depth begins almost from the coast itself. The sea here is clean and warms up well. The beach is also notable for its cleanliness, even storms do not clog it too much. Only a few unconscious tourists leave behind unnecessary trash.
