Most of the territory of the peninsula is the North Crimean Plain. On the Kerch Peninsula - in the easternmost part of Crimea - there are hilly plains with a little more O higher altitude above sea level. The southern part of the peninsula, bordering the Black Sea, is the so-called Mountainous Crimea.

The only civilian airport is located in the capital of the republic - the city of Simferopol. It serves about five million passengers annually.

After the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 2014, the railway communication with the peninsula, which went through the territory of Ukraine, was terminated. A bridge is currently under construction across the Kerch Strait, which will connect Crimea with the mainland by rail and road.

In the meantime, the ferry across this strait remains an important transport artery. Every year it serves almost as many passengers as the airport.

An extensive network of highways runs through the territory of the peninsula, which connect the main tourist centers - Kerch, Simferopol, Sevastopol, Bakhchisaray, beach towns on the coast.

In addition, the world's longest trolleybus line is located in Crimea, connecting Simferopol with the resorts of the South Coast. The length of this line is almost 100 kilometers.

The uniqueness of the Crimean peninsula partly lies in its unique climate. Although the peninsula is not large, the climatic zones here are very diverse. Surprisingly, with an area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe peninsula of 27 thousand square kilometers, there are as many as three climatic macroregions. This is not counting that there are up to 20 sub-regions here! The secret of this phenomenon is the combination of various relief formations, the fact that the peninsula is washed by two seas, the presence of bays, and also the fact that its borders are surrounded by high-altitude mountains. Basically, the climatic zones are divided into three main relief units of the peninsula - the steppe, mountain, and southern embankment zone.

A feature of the region is the presence of areas where it is especially warm in winter. At the same time, it is phenomenal that if, for example, in Yalta and Melitopol in summer the temperature spread is only 1 degree, in winter the temperature difference can reach 11 degrees! This is precisely due to the landscape, the Crimean mountains in this case protect Yalta from continental winds. The warmest of all, of course, is on the southern coast of Crimea, here the mild weather is due to the proximity of the sea. The most severe, in terms of cold weather, are the Crimean mountains, the peaks of which remain cold even in summer. The warmest place in Crimea is Miskhor. The average temperature in January here is +4.4 degrees, and the average annual temperature is almost 14 degrees. Thus, the Crimea remains an attractive holiday destination for tourists even in winter, they come here for the Christmas holidays, or for winter holidays. Map of Crimean regions:

Crimean mountains- silent giants who keep the secrets of history

The mountains divide the Crimean peninsula into two parts: most of it is steppe, and actually the mountainous part. The mountains stretch from the northeastern to the southwestern part of the peninsula, from Sevastopol to Feodosia, forming three parallel mountain ranges, which, in turn, are separated by beautiful green plains. The length of the mountains is almost 200 kilometers, the width is about 50 kilometers. The main ridge has the highest mountain height, it includes such giants as Roman-Kosh, with a height of more than one and a half kilometers, Chatyrdok, whose height is 1525 meters (which is only 20 meters less than the height of Roman-Kosh mountain), and Ai-Petri , whose height is 1231 meters. The southern slopes of the Main Range are steep, while the northern slopes are gentle.

The peaks of the Crimean mountains without forests form plateaus, which are called "yayls". From the Turkic word "yayl" is translated as "summer pasture". Yayly combine the properties of mountains and plains, they are connected by narrow ridges with mountain passes. Since ancient times, paths from the Crimean steppe to the South coast passed in these places.

For centuries, the Yayla were washed away by rainwater, the streams of which dotted the mountains with numerous passages, forming beautiful caves, mines and wells.

Behind the Main Ridge is the Inner Ridge. It is much lower, the highest point of the inner ridge is Mount Kubalich, its height is less than 750 meters. The inner ridge extends from the Mekenziev mountains to Mount Agarmysh. The length of this ridge is 125 kilometers.

The third row of the Crimean mountains is called the Northern Ridge. This mountain range is the lowest, its height reaches only 340 meters. This ridge is also called foothills. The southern slopes of the northern ridge are steep, while the northern ones are gentle, smoothly turning into plains. The Crimean mountains are an excellent place for mountain tourism, hiking, rock climbing. Well-established infrastructure allows you to organize a comprehensive, high-grade rest, useful for health.

Maps of cities of Crimea over 10,000 population.

Steppes of Crimea- fertile fields and mud volcanoes. If the mountains are located on only 20 percent of the peninsula, then the steppe occupies about 70 percent of the entire territory of Crimea. The Crimean steppe is the southern outskirts of the East European Plain. It is almost completely located on the same level, only slightly lowering in the north. On the Kerch Peninsula, the steppe is divided by the Parpach ridge, here the southwestern part is flat, and the northeastern part is hilly. The famous mud hills and coastal lake basins are located in this zone. There are unique mud volcanoes here (these volcanoes are not related to real volcanoes, because they erupt cold mud instead of red-hot lava).

flat part The Crimean steppe consists of southern chernozems, unusually fertile, from which more than half of the territory is occupied by arable land, the rest of the forest and pastures, and only less than 5% of the steppe is occupied by vineyards and garden plots.

Basis of green tourism- Crimean forests. It is naive to believe that the Crimea is an arid bare steppe. Almost 350 thousand hectares of the peninsula are occupied by forests. Oaks grow predominantly on the slopes of the mountains, here they make up about 65% of all trees (while pine trees account for less than 15%). The legendary juniper and evergreen small-fruited strawberries grow on the South Shore. Here you can find pistachios, pontic needle, cistus, pyracantha, shrub jasmine, and many other plants that are hard to find on the mainland of Ukraine.

Diversity of Crimean water resources. There are more than one and a half thousand rivers and drains on the Crimean peninsula. The total length of water flows is almost 6 thousand kilometers. At the same time, it should be noted that most of them are small streams that dry up in summer. It is surprising that there are only 257 rivers that are more than 5 kilometers long on the peninsula.

The main rivers of the peninsula are divided into the following groups:

1. Rivers of the northern slope of the Crimean mountains. Here is the famous Salgir, the longest Crimean river, its length is 232 kilometers. The remaining rivers of the northern slope are much shorter, for example, Wet Indole - only 27 kilometers, Churuksu - 33 kilometers.
2. Rivers of the northwestern slope. Here is the longest river Alma, its length is 84 kilometers. Other rivers (Chernaya, Belbek, Kacha, Western Bulganok) are a little shorter.
3. Rivers of the southern coast of Crimea. There are mostly small water flows here, for example, the length of the Uchan-Su River is only 8.4 kilometers, Demerdzhi - 14, and Derekoika - 12 kilometers.

An amazing fact: the rivers of the northwestern slopes are located almost in parallel, and half of their path is mountain streams. The rivers of the northern slopes, which flow through the plain, flow into the Sivash. On the southern coast - short rivers are entirely mountain streams, they all flow into the Black Sea. The Wuchang-Su River is unique here; on its short path it forms four beautiful waterfalls.

The reason for the poor development of river waters on the peninsula is that the main source of rivers is rain. Rainwater feeds the rivers of Crimea by almost 50 percent, while groundwater gives the rivers only 30 percent of their water potential. The rest is snowmelt. The groundwater potential of Crimea barely exceeds a billion cubic meters, for comparison, from Ukraine annually three times more water is supplied to the peninsula. 20 reservoirs and more than a hundred ponds help control groundwater. The North Crimean Canal from Ukraine delivers 3.5 billion cubic meters of water to Crimea, this is the main water source for agriculture. If not for this water source, then the arid Crimean steppe could not be fertile. (for comparison, in 1937 there were 35 thousand hectares of irrigated land, and in 1994 more than 10 times more - 400 thousand).

Of course, speaking of water resources, one cannot fail to mention estuary lakes, valuable healing sources of salt water. In total, there are more than 50 such lakes on the territory of Crimea, their total area exceeds 5 thousand square kilometers. Salt and therapeutic mud are obtained here. The most famous such lake is Sakskoye, but you can also visit Sasyk, Donuzlav, Bakal, Krasnoye or Aktashskoye lake.

Outcome: In Crimea, you can find absolutely everything on the maps, and even more. Holidays for treatment, winter and summer holidays, extreme tourism, hiking and cycling, wine tourism, rock climbing - here you can find a holiday for every taste and budget. The unique climate and atmosphere of these places will make you come here again and again.
