Evpatoria is secretly called the “city of childhood”: back in 1936, it was decided to establish an all-Union children’s resort here, and since then Evpatoria has not lost its position as the best place for families with children. There are several reasons for this: a mild climate, a huge coastline with fine sandy beaches, good infrastructure and proximity to the only airport in Crimea. From this article you will learn how best to organize a vacation in Evpatoria with children, and at the end you will find the TOP of the best hotels, boarding houses and sanatoriums and reviews from vacationers.
When is the best time to come?
The climate of Evpatoria is one of the most successful among the cities of Crimea. Already in mid-May the air warms up to +20-+25 °C during the day; in June the average daytime temperature is +28 °C, night temperature is +20 °C.
Even if your goal is to spend as much time as possible at sea, you can come on holiday to Evpatoria with children in June: the minimum water temperature is +18 °C, but by the middle of the month the sea warms up to a very comfortable +21-22 °C. The beaches in western Crimea are quite shallow, so the water here is warmer than on the southern coast.
The average air temperature in July and August is 28 °C, water temperature is 22 °C. August is the sunniest summer month: the number of cloudy and rainy days is usually from 5 to 10%.
The season for holidays with children in Yevpatoria in Crimea does not end with the arrival of autumn: many tourists say that September is the best time to go to the sea. See for yourself: the average air temperature at the beginning of autumn is +22-25 °C, and the water temperature is 22 °C. This is the best option for people who do not tolerate heat well: during the day it is quite warm, but the sun is no longer scorching, the nights are warm, and you can swim all day long. By the end of the month it becomes noticeably cooler, especially at night, so for a beach holiday we would recommend choosing the first half and mid-September.
October in Evpatoria will not spoil you with heat: the average temperature during the day is +17 °C, at night - + 14 °C, and the water in the sea quickly cools down to +18-+16 °C. However, it is in October that the Crimean Indian summer occurs. At this time, we recommend coming on holiday to Evpatoria with children in 2022 for people who are more interested in sightseeing than in the beaches. There are few tourists in Crimea in October, but the landscapes are breathtaking, and you can visit the best museums and historical places without crowds. By the way, prices for holidays with children in Evpatoria will be significantly more affordable.
In winter in Evpatoria the temperature stays around +5-+8 °C, but the number of cloudy days may exceed the number of sunny days. The first truly sunny and warm month is April, and this month Crimea is stunningly beautiful with its flowering gardens, bright greenery, and clear sea water.
Where is the best place to stay in Evpatoria with children?
When going to Crimea, you will first have to decide whether you want to live in a city or a small village next to it. You can come to Evpatoria on an all-inclusive holiday with children and pay inexpensively only if you choose one of the boarding houses or sanatoriums located outside the city. The villages have other advantages - for example, clean air, deserted beaches, cheap prices for fruits and vegetables. However, in search of entertainment for children, you will have to go to Yevpatoria or other cities: the villages are ideal only for a relaxing beach holiday.
Where to stay in Evpatoria with children
Yevpatoria is a small city: you can walk it from edge to edge in a few hours. The main places of interest for vacationers are concentrated along the coastline. There are several promising areas for holidays with children in Crimea in Evpatoria in 2021:
Area of Simferopolskaya street. A huge number of hotels, boarding houses, and inns are concentrated here, and they are located on the first coastline: you can watch the sunsets sitting on the veranda of your room, and in the morning, taking just a few steps, plunge into the warm and clean sea water. Disadvantages - you will have to walk to the entertainment center, and the choice of grocery stores will not be very large.
Old city. If you are looking for a place to relax with children in Yevpatoria, living in the private sector, then this area is well suited: there are small houses with their own plots and gardens. The advantage of the area is the silence and proximity to the Tereshkova embankment with beaches and entertainment. The downside is that it’s difficult to find a parking space; there are no large stores nearby. By the way, it is in the Old Town that the main historical attractions of Evpatoria are located: Karaite kenasses, the Juma-Jami Mosque, St. Nicholas Cathedral and St. Elias Church.
Resort area . This is a great place to relax in Evpatoria in the summer with older children who need entertainment. There is a rich beach infrastructure at their disposal (bananas, trampolines, food, etc.), parks with playgrounds, a dolphinarium, and other attractions. In the evenings, the embankment and the park are beautifully illuminated.
Holidays near Evpatoria with children
To the west of Yevpatoria there are small villages one after another: Zaozernoye, Molochnoe, Vitino, Shtormovoe, Popovka, Mirny. All of them are similar to each other: a large coastline, several shops, a market, a canteen, 2-3 cafes or restaurants. Prices in hotels and boarding houses for families with children in the suburbs of Evpatoria are much more affordable than in the city itself: the cost per day starts from 500 rubles.
One of the disadvantages of such resorts in Evpatoria with children is the lack of entertainment. If kids are able to be satisfied with the sea, sand and activities like an inflatable trampoline, then older guys will quickly get bored and will ask to go to Evpatoria itself. And here problems can arise: the bus service is well established, but in the summer, most likely, you will have to stand in line before you can leave. If you come to the Evpatoria boarding house for a holiday with children on your own transport, the distance from the city will not be a problem (the roads are in good condition and not busy), but you will be able to get more pleasure from swimming in the sea due to the spacious, clean beaches.
Zaozernoye is located closest to Evpatoria. You can get here in literally 10-15 minutes (8 km). Overall, this is an excellent place to relax in Evpatoria with a small child: if necessary, you can quickly get to the city, and the rest of the time you can enjoy the excellent local beaches.

Beaches of Evpatoria
When deciding where it is best to stay in Yevpatoria with children based on reviews, be sure to pay attention to the location of the hotel or private accommodation. While sanatoriums, as a rule, have their own beaches, other accommodation options cannot boast of such luxury. Therefore, it is important to talk about what beaches there are in the city and where they are located.
Central beach. It is located, as the name suggests, in the very center of the city: between Frunze Park and Duvanovskaya Street. The beach is free, with good infrastructure: cafes, slides, trampolines and other entertainment for children are present. But at the height of the season there are quite a lot of people here.
"Solaris". Small but well-maintained beach. There are many cafes, free changing rooms, entertainment for children and even a free playground. But the toilets and showers are only paid.
"Oasis". This is a small beach next to the hotel of the same name. There is a free (and very crowded) area and a VIP area for hotel guests. This beach in Yevpatoria is one of the cleanest, since its condition is monitored by hotel staff, regularly sifting the sand. Doctors and rescuers are working. The disadvantages are the concrete slab, which makes it a little difficult to enter the sea, and the constant crowding of people.
New beach. This is about 17 km of coastline - there is definitely enough space for everyone. The beach begins on the street. Simferopol and stretches to the village of Pribrezhnoye. Coming here for a holiday with children in Yevpatoria in Crimea can be recommended for people with teenagers: significant depth begins not far from the shore, unlike most other beaches in the city. Another minus is that the beach is rarely cleaned.
"Côte d'Azur". This is a paid beach: the entrance price in 2022 will be 35 rubles per day, but children under 7 years old are allowed in for free. On the Cote d'Azur website it is written that this is the cleanest beach in Evpatoria, and this is not far from the truth, since it is regularly cleaned by camping staff, and a jellyfish trap is even installed so that they do not spoil the swimming experience. Even if it is symbolic, the fee scares off many tourists, so it is usually freer here than on other city beaches.

Choosing a resort
Before you go to Crimea, decide for yourself where you would like to live: in a large resort town or a quiet village. Entertainment lovers will enjoy the southern coast of Crimea - Yalta, Alushta, Gurzuf. But the child will not be too comfortable on rocky, crowded beaches.
The situation is better on the east coast with its golden sandy beaches. Here the resorts of Sudak and Feodosia hold the palm.
But the best vacation spots for children are in the west of the Crimean Peninsula. This is Evpatoria and its surroundings - the city of Saki and numerous resort villages, such as Zaozernoye, Popovka, Molochnoe, Shtormovoe.
The highest rating is rightfully held by Evpatoria , a health resort known since Soviet times. Only Anapa, another popular children's resort, can compare with it.
Parents agree that it is better to live in the suburbs with small children. The air is cleaner here, there are fewer people, prices are lower, and most importantly, the best beaches of Crimea are located along the southwestern coast. You can always go to the city for entertainment.
So, Evpatoria - where is the best place to stay with children?
