Holidays in Feodosia are a haven for both children and adults. Feodosia Infrastructure of Feodosia Crimea

Feodosia is located in the southeastern part of Crimea and includes the settlements of Beregovoye, Primorsky, Koktebel, Kurortnoye, Shchebetovka, Ordzhonikidze. The city is a kind of border between the mountainous and steppe Crimea. The purest sea water, many kilometers of sandy beaches (including the wild beach on Peschanaya Balka behind the village of Primorsky), pebble beaches of Feodosia, Koktebel, Ordzhonikidze - the choice is huge.

The history of Feodosia goes back centuries: it is one of the most ancient cities on Earth. Back in the 6th century BC, the Greeks founded “God Given” (this is how the name of the city is translated into Russian). Up to the 4th century AD. The Hellenes lived in Feodosia until it was occupied by the Huns. Since then, Feodosia has been conquered by various tribes, states and empires, experiencing ups and downs. Alans, Romans, Genoese, Khazars, Tatars of the Golden Horde, and Turks lived here at various times, leaving their mark on the history and cultural heritage of the city.

In modern Feodosia, architectural monuments of the Middle Ages have been preserved: various defensive structures of the Genoese period (fortresses, towers, bridges, walls) of the 13th century, Christian churches of the 14-15th centuries. As part of Italian Genoa, Feodosia was renamed Cafu, and in 1475 the city was conquered by the Turks, turning it into a major slave trading center. It was here that the captured Slavs were brought and sold in the markets of Kefe (that was the name of the city as part of the Ottoman Empire). The famous Roksolana was sold at one of these markets. An interesting historical fact: captured girls, who had overcome a difficult journey of hundreds of kilometers, were brought into order here, giving them a “marketable appearance”, with local mineral waters and medicinal mud.

Climate and ecology of Feodosia

The climate of the city can be classified as somewhere between steppe and subtropical: here, unlike the South Coast, lower temperatures are possible in winter. The average annual temperature is positive and is 12 degrees. Summers in Feodosia are hot and dry (especially from mid-July to late August), winters are mild. Snow, if it does fall, does not last long; constant snow cover occurs in severe winters (not every year).

It is noteworthy that the annual number of sunny hours in Feodosia is even greater than in Yalta.

A special feature of the Feodosia region is its openness to strong winds from the north and east. And if in summer the winds help to endure the heat, then in winter, given the high humidity, the feeling is not the most pleasant.

The swimming season in Feodosia begins in May and sometimes lasts until November. However, very often the wind blows warm water from the shore. In this case, you can observe a picture when in June the water temperature drops to 13-15 degrees. It saves the Sea of ​​Azov, which is just a stone's throw from Feodosia.

Potentially dangerous enterprises from the point of view of the city's ecology include the Feodosia oil depot, located at the entrance to the city, as well as the Feodosia sea trade port, located in close proximity to the city embankment.

However, the current level of these enterprises gives hope for minimizing possible emissions of pollution into the water area. But still, in the area of ​​the oil depot in the summer you can clearly smell hydrogen sulfide. The remaining enterprises that previously had a significant impact on the city’s ecology are currently not operating.

Population of Feodosia

The population of the city is about 70 thousand people, and the entire Greater Feodosia is about 105 thousand. Since the mid-90s of the last century, the population has been constantly declining due to natural decline.

According to the latest population census (2001), 72.2% of Russians lived in Feodosia, Ukrainians - 18.8%, Crimean Tatars - 4.6%. There are also Belarusians, Armenians, Jews, Moldovans, Greeks, Georgians, Poles, Azerbaijanis and Germans.

Feodosia is a city of pensioners, which is connected, first of all, with the desire during the USSR for military personnel of pre-retirement age to transfer here and stay after retirement.

A large number of branches of all-Union research institutes had a beneficial effect on the development of the city's intelligentsia. Nice smiling old men and women are found everywhere here. However, the decline of the economy and morality since the 90s has had the most deplorable impact on young people. Here you can often find degenerate drug addicts and petty thieves scurrying through the streets in search of easy money.

Young people receive education mainly in Ukrainian universities (the most popular is Kharkov, since the Feodosia-Moscow train runs through this city all year round), in Simferopol, as well as in local higher educational institutions (polytechnic technical school, marine engineering technical school, among commercial universities the most popular financial academy).

Districts and real estate of Feodosia

In the city itself, several large areas can be distinguished: the center, Morsad, Krymsky Massif, Chelnokov Street area, Simferopol Highway area, Dynamo area, Garnaev Street area, Bus Station, Starshinova Boulevard area.

The closer the property is located to the sea and to the developed infrastructure of the city center, the more expensive its cost. The most prestigious apartments are mainly located in the city center and in the Dynamo area. Here the cost is 1 sq. m of housing will cost at least $1,000. However, most of the houses here are “Khrushchev”, i.e. small apartments. The number of new buildings in the central part of the city and coastal areas is small. The disadvantages of living in the city center include the fact that most of the courtyards in such houses are walk-through with all the ensuing consequences: constant uninvited guests of dubious appearance, garbage, etc.

More comfortable layouts are located in the Crimean massif and along Starshinova Boulevard. The infrastructure is quite developed, but the distance from the sea and the central part of the city makes this housing a little less attractive. The average cost of housing here is $900.

In areas more distant from the center you can find cheaper apartments.

The Chelnoki massif is not very popular due to many factors: distance from the city center, proximity to the city dump, poorly developed infrastructure. Housing prices here are about $700 per square meter.

Beregovoe is a settlement with a predominance of private low-rise buildings (there are several multi-storey buildings, but they look like savages, surrounded by private houses and boarding houses). The cost of housing in this case depends on the proximity of the land plot to the sea (on the first line, 1 hectare can reach 15-20 thousand dollars) and the comfort of the house itself (here, as they say, there is no limit to perfection).

The undoubted advantage of Beregovoye is the proximity of the sea and clean air. The disadvantages include: proximity to the Kerch-Simferopol highway, poor infrastructure, lack of central sewerage.

Seaside

This workers' settlement, the main enterprise of which is the More shipbuilding plant, has a fairly large multi-storey housing stock. An apartment here will cost an average of $800 per 1 sq. m. m. A more economical option can be purchased in the “Tower” area (a former closed military camp), here the cost is 1 sq. m. m is approximately 600 dollars.

The proximity to the sea and good infrastructure make this village quite attractive for a summer holiday. However, in winter it is “boring” here: there is a very weak sports and entertainment base.

Many people love Koktebel, so real estate here is not cheap. Expensive houses and boarding houses are slowly replacing old, modest houses. There are also multi-storey new buildings offering 1 sq. m. m priced from $850 (without finishing), and more expensive luxury apartments priced up to $2,000 per square meter.

A very popular village, both for recreation and for living. The disadvantages include poor roads in its non-central part, problems with water, and the lack of a central sewerage system in private buildings.

Shchebetovka

There are few multi-storey buildings here, they are not located very close to the sea. Cost of 1 sq. m will cost about 700-750 dollars.

The main problem of local residents of multi-storey buildings is poor water supply.

Ordzhonikidze

You can become a resident of this quiet, cozy village by purchasing housing starting at $1,000 per square meter. A cozy boathouse right on the seashore will cost more - from $1,400 per 1 sq.m.

Despite the very good location of the village (proximity to the city, beautiful mountain landscape, clean air), the problems here are the same as everywhere else: shortages of water, weak social infrastructure.

Thus, the cost of housing in Feodosia is relatively high (despite the rather low income of the local population), which is naturally associated with the status of the city and its location: there are quite a lot of people who want to buy real estate in a resort town.

Infrastructure of the city of Feodosia

As for any city in Crimea, the issue of water supply is very relevant for Feodosia. And if for many modern cities of Ukraine, a water cutoff for half a day is a catastrophe on a national scale, then in Crimea a planned, and often unplanned, lack of water for two or three days is a completely common occurrence, especially in summer.

Moreover, if in Feodosia itself water is supplied around the clock, the suburbs are less fortunate: here water is supplied on schedule. For example, in Primorsky this schedule in winter looks like this: 2 hours in the morning, 1 hour at lunch and 2 hours in the evening. In summer, the lunchtime water supply is completely cut. Many residents have adapted to this inconvenience by installing water storage tanks in their apartments or on their roofs. There is no hot water either in the city or in the suburbs, so people use electric boilers or gas water heaters.

The roads in Feodosia on the central streets of the city are quite tolerable and are regularly repaired before the summer season. As for the less “lucky” outskirts of the city, everything here is as always: no one “notices” potholes and pits.

There is a bus station in Feodosia: fairly comfortable minibuses can take you to any Crimean city.

Traffic jams are very rare for Feodosia, but in the summer such a picture can often be seen when entering the city: on the Kerch-Simferopol highway, when there is a large flow of railway tanks heading towards the oil depot.

The railway station operates all year round, but in the summer there are many more trains, which is not very convenient for the city embankment: the line runs 5-10 m from it. Built more than 100 years ago by the famous artist Aivazovsky, it was clearly not designed for such traffic in a quiet coastal town of that time. Many vacationers note this fact as negative: few people like to lie on the beach to the sound of constantly coming (departing) trains.

On the territory of Greater Feodosia there are 23 schools, 11 of which are in Feodosia itself. There are specialized schools with in-depth study of French, English, and mathematics.

At the moment, there is an acute issue with preschool institutions: the kindergartens are overcrowded. This is primarily due to the fact that during the decline in the birth rate, starting in the late 90s, many gardens were closed and then sold to commercial establishments. Now the situation with the birth rate has improved, and there is no money to build new gardens.

Enterprises and work in Feodosia

The most “tasty” enterprises for potential applicants are an oil depot and a seaport. These two flagships are famous not only for the development of the city’s economy, they are also among the hundred most profitable enterprises in Ukraine. Getting a job there is both prestigious and profitable: the salaries here are the highest and there are good social conditions. However, not everyone can get there; the city is small and specialists are found among friends and relatives.

The once thriving tobacco, hosiery, furniture and offset factories, factories: mechanical, state-owned optical, ship-mechanical, Stroydetal, building materials plant, and the More plant are also functioning poorly. However, work for them is intermittent, from order to order.

The most in demand (judging by vacancies) is the job of sales representatives in the alcohol, tobacco and food sectors. The number of vacancies increases with the onset of the summer season, because... Additional outlets are opening, operating only in the summer. The same applies to cooks, waiters, bartenders, salespeople, and maids, who are in great demand in the summer. You have to work tirelessly for days, almost seven days a week. However, during the off-season, many people have to “tighten their belts”, because... Finding a job can be difficult.

With the onset of autumn, the construction of private mini-hotels intensifies, which provides work for people with appropriate qualifications.

Crime

Compared to the turbulent nineties, modern Feodosia can be called a calm city from the point of view of crime. Those who used to take money from businessmen at the market and in cafes put on business suits instead of leather jackets and went to power. There are petty thieves and drug addicts left on the street, ruining the lives of themselves and people from time to time.

However, in the summer, with the influx of vacationers, the so-called “tourists” also come here. It is at this time that the number of thefts and murders increases.

The criminal history of Feodosia added another entry in the summer of 2013, when the mayor of Feodosia, Alexander Bartenyev, was shot at the entrance of his house. The killer was never found, the main version is robbery. However, given the criminal past of the late mayor, as well as the style of doing business in the city, no one denied the possibility of a contract killing. By the way, Bartenyev’s murder is the fifth in a series of murders of Crimean mayors in recent years.

In March 2013, a high-profile traffic accident occurred in Feodosia: at high speed, the driver of a car (an SBU officer) rammed an ambulance rushing to the hospital with a seriously ill patient. As a result of the accident, a doctor and a paramedic died. The patient's father was severely injured. The SBU officer was found not guilty, the case was hushed up, and the killer, who was most likely simply drunk, was transferred to serve further in Simferopol.

In May 2008, Feodosia was rocked by a high-profile incident: a 32-year-old driver, whose license was taken away and his car was sent to the impound lot, set fire to the local traffic police department. While extinguishing the fire, 8 traffic cops were injured, including the head of the traffic police, who received serious burns. The driver himself died on the spot. It’s hard to say whether the traffic cop was right when he took away the driver’s license. However, police brutality does occur in the city.

Sights of Feodosia

Feodosia is rich in architectural monuments and natural beauties. With the advent of the railway in 1892, the elite of Tsarist Russia began to actively develop the city. Pushkin, Chekhov, Griboyedov, Gorky, Mandelstam visited here. The entire first line by the sea was built up with dachas, the most famous of them and perfectly preserved to this day is the Stamboli dacha.

The artist Aivazovsky lived and worked in Feodosia; the art gallery with his works is located opposite the central embankment of the city.

Another famous resident of Feodosia is Alexander Green. The author spent the last 6 years of his life in this city. The house in which he settled is now a museum.

A favorite place for tourists is the Genoese citadel, which is still preserved on Quarantine Hill. This structure, built back in the 13th century by the Italians and serving to protect and defend the city, was used during the Ottoman Empire for the 40-day quarantine of slaves. And in tsarist Russia, Muslim pilgrims passing through Feodosia to Mecca were quarantined here.

Here in Quarantine there is one of the oldest churches - the Church of the Iveron Icon of the Mother of God, its construction dates back to the 14th century.

The fortification tower Barbican and the Tower of St. Constantine, built during the Ottoman period and perfectly preserved to this day, are also of historical interest.

And of course, speaking about Feodosia, one cannot fail to mention such a pearl as Koktebel. This is a special corner of Crimea with its own history and unique charm. The grandeur of the beauty of this village fascinates even at the entrance to it, when the whole panorama opens up with stunningly beautiful mountains and bays. Modern summer Koktebel is strikingly different from the once bohemian village: a motley crowd, crowds of people, noisy groups walking until the morning, a nudist beach very close to the main one, an embankment lined with countless tents, cafes, and shops. But even such “Shanghai” Koktebel does not scare off its many fans.

On the territory of Koktebel there is a biological station with a dolphinarium, the Karadag Nature Reserve, the famous Koktebel wine and cognac factory, a water park, and the Voloshin house-museum.

Well, the main calling card of the village, without a doubt, is the extinct Karadag volcano and the famous rock - the Golden Gate.

From year to year, holidays in Crimea become more popular among domestic tourists. Feodosia is one of the most interesting cities for a resort holiday on the peninsula. Its name is translated from Greek as “given by God.” Here, nature itself has created all the possibilities for a comfortable and relaxed vacation: sandy and pebble beaches, the warm Black Sea, an abundance of greenery.

Briefly about the history of Feodosia

The settlement was founded by the Greeks in the 6th century BC. In search of a better life, they chose the area on the Black Sea coast, worked, developed trade relations, and introduced their culture.

The city received its name - Feodosia - during the formation of the Bosporus Kingdom on the peninsula. During this time, the city flourished due to trade and the slave trade. The Huns managed to destroy Feodosia completely in the 4th century. Later the Alan tribes settled here.

In the 5th century Feodosia became part of Byzantine Empire , safely taken by the Khazars in the 6th century. and again returned to Byzantium.

From the 13th century being at the mercy of the Golden Horde , Feodosia was bought by Genoese merchants. The city of Kaffa appeared, which later became rich, many thousands (about 70 thousand inhabitants), multinational and prosperous.

The next conquerors of this city were the Ottomans. In 1475, the Ottoman Empire, having captured Caffa, founded a large port and slave market here. The Turks called the city Kefe .

Russian Feodosia

Since 1771, the city was captured by the Russians, and in 1774 Crimea became part of the Russian Empire. Feodosia finally and officially returned her name in 1802.

Subsequently, a variety of events took place in Feodosia - the birth of great people, the development of industry and the city as a whole as a port center.

The city has not been spared the terrible bloody wars of our time - Civil and Great Patriotic War , as well as revolution, devastation, famine, repression. Many feats were accomplished, thousands of lives were taken and countless destinies were destroyed.

The post-war period is a time of creation, and the Feodosia seaport played a major role in this period. A military-industrial complex was created here, with many factories - shipbuilding, optical, mechanical and others, including a cognac and wine factory, a tobacco factory and an oil terminal.

Since 1970, Feodosia has been a famous resort town.
