The ancient Greek settlement that existed on the site of present-day Evpatoria was called Kerkinitida (Greek. Κερκινίτις, Kerkinitis). After the destruction of Kerkinitida for many hundreds of years, there was no urban settlement on this place. During the times of the Crimean Khanate, a city was founded, which the Crimean Tatars called Kezlev (Crimean Cat. Kezlev), the Turks called Gozlev (Tur. Gözleve), and the Russians called Kozlov. After Crimea became part of the Russian Empire, the city was renamed Evpatoria, while the Crimean Tatars continued to call it Kezlev. Today this situation persists: in Russian and Ukrainian languages the city is called Evpatoria, in Crimean Tatar - Kezlev.

Evpatoria as part of the Russian Empire
The Russian-Turkish war of 1768-74 put an end to the Ottoman domination and according to the Kucuk-Kainardzhiyskiy peace treaty of 1774, the Ottomans abandoned their claims to the Crimea. By the decree of Catherine II on January 19 (30), Gezlev received the status of a district town and a new name. Evpatoria, it was named after the king of the ancient Pontus Mithridates VI Eupator. The Pontic king often rescued the inhabitants of Kerkinitida during the attacks of the Scythians, sending generals with a large army.
At the beginning of the 19th century, a new port was built in the city, which became one of the largest in Crimea; in 1840, the construction of the city embankment began. By the 1840s, about 11 thousand people lived in Evpatoria. During the Crimean War, Evpatoria was occupied by Anglo-French-Turkish troops and turned into a fortified base.
In the 19th century, Evpatoria became the main cultural center Crimean Karaites. From Chufut-Kale, which gradually fell into desolation, most of the population moved to the city, headed by a gakham, the spiritual leader of the Karaite community. In 1865, the Karaite female school for girls was opened in the city.
V late XIX century Evpatoria began to quickly gain popularity as a resort. The area between the old town and Lake Moinaki began to be actively built up with summer cottages. In 1914, a tram was opened in the city, in 1915 the Sarabuz-Evpatoria railway line from Lozovo-Sevastopolskaya railroad.

So, let's take a closer look at why rest in Evpatoria is so in demand. Go)))
Where is Evpatoria on the map
The Crimea map shows us this resort on the northern coast of the Kalamitsky Gulf of the Black Sea. The coastline of Evpatoria practically reaches 20 km, not counting the city of Saki (in the southeast) and the neighboring village of Zaozernoe (in the west). It also adjoins the villages of Pribrezhnoye, Limannoye, Kamenolomnya, Suvorovskoye and Uyutnoye. To Simferopol along the highway from here - 70 km, to Sevastopol - 120 km, to Yalta - 160 km.
Brief history of the resort
Evpatoria with good reason can be attributed to the number oldest world... It was founded in the VI century BC, at the height of the Greek colonization of the Black Sea region, by immigrants from Ionia. During its existence, the city was known under two names, not counting the current one - Kerkinitida and Gezlev. Accordingly, the cultural and economic significance of the polis also changed.
The Greek colonists named their settlement Kerkinitida - it was a classic polis, whose inhabitants were engaged in both crafts and trade, and agriculture... During its heyday, it numbered about 2 thousand inhabitants (a lot for that time). He was dependent on, but had many rights, including the ability to mint a coin. The city was destroyed by the Scythians at the end of the 2nd century BC.
Nothing is known about the early Middle Ages of Evpatoria, but during the period of the Crimean Khanate, the city of Gezlev arose in its place. There is a version that a Russian fortress became the basis for it. It was the only full-fledged port of the khanate, had a large fortification, the largest mosque of the Crimea, Juma-Jami, was built in it. The population of Gezlev was multinational, but got along peacefully.
Private sector of Evpatoria
The kids will also be overly happy to be off the coast, which Western Yevpatoria is proud of. Rest here is not only smearing each other with silt and healing mud, but wonderful healing air, which is rarely found in the steppe zone of Crimea.
The Yevpatoriya embankments will give the child a lot of entertainment. In the period from June to July, they literally set up children's towns with a variety of fun. Here you will find a shooting range, riding mini-cars, and inflatable slides that land children in.
Near Dinopark there is also an analogue and. Although he is inferior to his fellows in size, he is still very interesting, especially for children. Next to it is another entertainment center - "Rioland". You can also find.
Where to eat deliciously in Evpatoria?
In we have already told in detail about the best cafes and restaurants in the city. Here we will mention only the best establishments near the sea in order to guide the beach goers as to where to have an inexpensive but satisfying and tasty snack.
Not far from, a little north of the Museum mail, on Karaeva, 4, there is an inexpensive dining room for budget vacationers. Reviews indicate that the food here is delicious, the atmosphere is pleasant, and most importantly - inexpensive and safe, unlike eating on the beach, when buying food from traders.
Excellent coffee is served at Prokofiev Coffee House. The staff is well trained, but the prices are still a bit high. On Revolution, 46, there is a pizzeria "Chicago", one of the most popular in the seaside part of Evpatoria. The cost is not low, but you will receive quality service almost by the sea.
You can drink strong drinks in the "Leto" wine bar, which has also received, for the most part, positive reviews. It is located near the City Beach. In the same part of Evpatoria, you can have a full meal - in the cafe "Mario Park". It cooks delicious food and has an amazing interior, but if it's windy outside, it can be pretty cool to be here.

Appeal to the authorities of Evpatoria
In Russia, Law No. 52-FZ "On the Sanitary and Epidemiological Welfare of the Population" includes a section on silence, which clearly limits the permissible level of noise during the day and night and time limits. The most common concern is the violation of the law at night, when the person usually rests before the next work day. The noise level from 7-00 to 23-00 should not exceed 40 dB, and from 23-00 to 7-00 - 30 dB. To understand how loud such a sound is, suffice it to say that, for example, the noise level from a triggered alarm in a car parked near the house is 80-100 dB.
I would like to draw the attention of the authorities to the fact that the city of Evpatoria is identified by everyone as a children's resort, but in practice, it is very noisy in Evpatoria at night, from a large number of nightlife establishments. Those who come to rest have to listen to night discos until the morning.
The authorities of Yevpatoria put things in order at night and give people the opportunity to sleep peacefully at night.
