What you need to take a trip to the Crimea. By car to the Crimea: what you need to know and take! We travel with pleasure

Going to Crimea

In this section I will try to talk about the features of rest - how to get to the South Coast, where it is better to stay, I will talk about beaches, food and excursions.
All of the following has its own opinion, based on the experience of rest and residence in the Crimea in different periods.

What to take on a trip

The first is documents by itself. Now it is a Russian passport for Russians and a foreign passport for the rest. Train / plane ticket and money.

With regards to money - in 2014 for 2 weeks for 2 people (food, excursions, souvenirs) there was enough $ 1,000, which is relatively small. Excursions in Crimea are still inexpensive. Although I continue to insist - you need to walk more yourself, it is both cheaper and more useful.

Next up are summer things. It is worth considering that at the end of September when “Indian summer” is in central Russia, “Indian winter” may occur for several days on the South Coast of Crimea ie get cold temporarily (especially at night, up to +15). Therefore, going to the Crimea in September, take something with you for a cool evening.
Be sure to bring along nice sneakers or summer boots with a large tread. It’s best to go to them right away. In addition to them, ordinary slippers are required in which you will go to the beach. All kinds of high-heeled shoes, etc. leave glamorous things at home, on the South Coast of Crimea there is almost nowhere to go in them. Although the author of the site has repeatedly observed girls in high heel shoes desperately climbing mountain paths. A heartbreaking sight !!! :)

Another important item is a flashlight and a set of batteries for it. It is better to take even two flashlights - one smaller and the other large and bright. And of course, a camera with a sufficient supply of memory / film.
It is worth taking a mask or glasses for swimming. When the water in the sea is calm, you can dive and see a lot of beautiful and interesting.

A bottle of water (1.5 liters) and a package of cookies to have a bite to eat immediately upon arrival will not be amiss. It is also worth taking care of a remedy for motion sickness if you are prone to this ailment or eat with children. The mountain serpentine in the Crimea is very winding and can rock motion in literally ten minutes of travel, especially on a minibus.

What are the components of a successful holiday? - The right choice of place, great weather and ... first aid kit on vacation! Having prepared and taking with you all the necessary medicines, you will protect yourself and your loved ones from possible troubles that may happen during the trip.

Product Highlights

Determine the features of the place of stay

A responsible approach to choosing a place to stay will determine the possible dangers when visiting a resort.

Holidays abroad will require more detailed preparation. Finding medicines here is not a problem, but often recipes will be needed to purchase them, which can only be obtained from a doctor. You can save yourself from additional steps by collecting your own travel kit.

Exotic countries determine the expansion of the list of traditional products. A great danger of infections, insect bites and burns by poisonous plants - so you need to take protective equipment, ointments and do the necessary vaccinations ahead of time.

Resorts with an increased risk of intestinal infections also require special medicines in the medicine cabinet.

A first aid kit on vacation depends on the travelers themselves. Immediately determine the age characteristics of tourists and, taking this into account, adjust the composition of your first-aid kit. Elderly people and children all require individual medicines.

First aid

It will be great if you retained the basic knowledge about first aid and you can independently help the victim at least in the first stages. If you have forgotten everything, then it would not be out of place to refresh at least the main points: laying a tire in case of injury and fixing hemostatic dressings, actions in case of loss of consciousness and the rules for performing artificial respiration.

In any city, in our country and abroad, there are first aid posts or ambulances. In case of emergency, be sure to call an ambulance. In order not to get into trouble, take care of the necessary phones, addresses, and also write down the translation of some diseases and symptoms, then it will be easier for emergency doctors to figure out what happened to you, unless of course you are fluent in the language of the local population.

The main components of the first-aid kit

If you have not yet decided on the choice of the region, the method of transportation, the duration of the trip, the season and the type of terrain (mountains or desert, North or South, a city or wildlife), then such a standard set of first-aid kit for a vacation will be appropriate in any case:

Means for treating and dressing wounds (sterile bandages, brilliant green and iodine (preferably in the form of pencils), hydrogen peroxide, elastic bandage)
Remedies for abdominal pain. With diarrhea - motilium. Adsorbents - activated carbon, smecta, enterosgel. For pain - maaalox. In case of vomiting - air sea, dramin or mint tablets. Laxatives - Regulax, Guttalax.
Antipyretic and analgesic drugs - paracetamol, citramone or ibuprofen.
Antibiotics. Take them with you only after consulting a doctor. Do not take strong drugs on your own initiative. If you have indications for their use, choose sumamed or augmentin - the most popular and common antibiotic agents.
Antiallergic drugs - suprastin or zyrtec.
Nasal drops. Vasoconstrictors will quickly facilitate breathing, but will not solve the problem at the source (naphthyzine, vibrocil). For the full treatment of even advanced forms of the common cold, use a polydex spray or isofra.
Eye drops - Garazon and Sofradex - drops containing antibiotics will quickly help with purulent conjunctivitis.
Ear drops - otipax will quickly relieve pain in otitis media. But do not use them for discharge from the ear, they can do much harm.
Drugs for sore throat - tantum verde, cameton, pharyngosept.
Antitussive and mucolytics - Bromhexine, Lasolvan.

First aid kit on vacation with children

If you are going on vacation with your children, then the first-aid kit on vacation will change somewhat. Children will need more gentle and safer drugs.

In addition to the above medicines, you need to stock up on the following:

Antipyretic and analgesic drugs - children's nurofen. The best option for pain and heat.
Antispasmodics - no-spa
Antibacterial drugs - phthalazole, levomekol
For the treatment of burns - panthenol in the form of a spray, bepanten, a lifeguard for children
Antidiarrheal - hilak forte, linex
To relieve itching after an insect bite - fenistil gel, tincture of calendula

When collecting medicines, put in the medicine cabinet only those drugs that you have already used to avoid unexpected side effects and allergic reactions.

First aid kit at sea

We will put in it all the main components + a first-aid kit on vacation for children, if we go with the whole family. And as an addition to the journey to the seashore we take:

Sunblock - sanosan, chicco, My sun and others. Take it with maximum protection SPF 50.
After Sun Milk - MagicHerbs, Pantesol
Remedies for mosquitoes (spray, milk, bracelet) - death, BugStop, Babycoccole, Gardex
Be sure to buy bottled baby water. Follow this rule strictly for children under 2 years old.

Health hazards when resting in the Crimea

A high probability of allergic reactions occurs precisely in the summer, when everything actively blossoms and smells in the Crimea. The most highly allergenic plants here are wormwood and ragweed. Using antihistamines, you can quickly remove unpleasant symptoms, and for the treatment to go as quickly as possible, exclude melon, beets, seeds, bananas and honey from the diet for a while, as these products can increase the allergic reaction.

First aid kit in a car with children

If your little one has never been rocked in the car, it may happen that a long road and shaking can change this moment. Do not use to take with you for a first-aid kit on vacation the remedies for motion sickness - dramin, air sea, aeron, drops or menthol candies.

Consider when collecting first-aid kits on vacation at sea that many drugs should not be stored above certain temperatures. And as you know, the road is long and hot. The presence of an air conditioner greatly facilitates the task of storage, but to protect yourself and protect the contents of the first-aid kit as much as possible, pack the medicine in special thermobags.

Medication on the train with children

Everything that we take into the car with a child, we automatically take on the road by train. Antipyretics, antiseptics, painkillers, a thermometer (preferably electronic because of the danger of breaking up the mercury) - all these are essential attributes when traveling with children.

In addition to medicines, it will not be superfluous to take antibacterial wipes, a large supply of diapers or a pot with a lid on the train.

Flying a plane with a child

Before the flight, it will not be superfluous to instill vasoconstrictive drops in the child’s ears (naphthyzine, vibrocils), so you will relieve your child of unpleasant sensations during takeoff and climb.

You can not take the entire first-aid kit into the plane itself, but choose the most necessary from it - antipyretic, vasoconstrictive drops, plasters, antihistamines.

We travel with pleasure

By collecting a first-aid kit on vacation, you guarantee yourself peace of mind in any unforeseen situations. Drops and bruises, sprains and burns - you always have at hand the necessary means for first aid.

First aid kit on vacation - your first friend and assistant on long and short trips. Pack it wisely, carefully studying the features of the region, because intestinal infections at sea, for example, are taken by surprise not only of children, but also of adults. It will be sad to spend several days in the room when you could protect yourself using water disinfectants (pantocide or aquacept) or buying bottled water. Have a nice and enjoyable holiday!

5 minutes to read

So the vacation has come - a time of rest and relaxation. To spend it well, many go to sea. During the training camp, each of us faces the same problem - how to take everything you need for a wonderful vacation, but also not to capture a lot of unnecessary things. We will try to deal with this rather difficult task. In this article you will find the necessary information that will help you carefully prepare for a vacation in Crimea.

First you need to get acquainted with the information about the place where you plan to spend your vacation. Thanks to such information, you will get the opportunity to spend a fun and interesting holiday. Be sure to purchase a guidebook or maps, they can also be easily found on the Internet and printed. With maps, you can easily navigate the terrain, which will make it easier to find the objects you need. It’s better to mark in advance the places you would like to visit.

Clothing, shoes and hygiene products

To rest in the Crimea in the summer, it is worth taking light clothing. Comfortable things are suitable - shorts, capris, tops, T-shirts. Do not forget about the necessary clothes for relaxation: a swimsuit, slippers for the beach, sunglasses and, of course, a hat. If you want to spend your vacation on the move - get acquainted with the sights, walk along the mountain slopes and valleys, then it is better to take additional comfortable and light moccasins or sneakers.

Warm clothes during the rest may not be useful, but still it’s worth taking a few of these things. Jeans, a sweatshirt or a tracksuit are suitable for evening gatherings or walks on the promenade.

Beach flip flops are required on vacation, it is better to purchase them in advance in order to carry a little at home. Calluses on the beach do not need you at all, only memories of the rest will remain, they will not be as bright as we would like.

Beautiful views of Crimea - Mangup-Kale

A light beach bag or a small backpack made of nylon will be needed to go to the beach, in them you can put everything you need to relax.

Be sure to take everything for a shower: products for hair and body, towels, shaving kit. Girls, of course, should take a handbag with decorative cosmetics and the necessary face care products. Do not forget about sunscreen lotions and creams, they are useful for both adults and children.

An important element that must be with you when traveling is wet wipes. They perfectly disinfect and clean the surface of the hands when there is no way to wash them with water. In addition, they perfectly remove dirt from clothing. When traveling with children, such a hygiene product will be especially relevant.

Documents and tickets

When collecting your suitcases, check the availability of all necessary documents, worry in advance about round-trip tickets. In the turmoil during the gathering, some vacationers often forget to grab documents that confirm their identity, as a result of which problems may arise.

Buy tickets in the opposite direction, as in the summer the number of available seats for a plane or bus is limited due to the large flow of tourists (especially important in late August).

If you want to get to the peninsula through the crossing, then you should find out about the queue, this information can be obtained through CCTV cameras. A sharp deterioration in the weather affects the number of ferries departing. To purchase tickets for the crossing, you should go to the official website, where you can easily buy them online. At the moment, the Single Ticket program is starting to operate, where you can immediately get a ticket and a bus to a certain Crimean city with a train ticket.

Money, Bank Cards

There are currently problems in the banking sector on the peninsula. Visa and Mastercard in the process of resuming operations in the Crimea. Money transfers are also quite problematic. It is necessary to calculate in advance how much money will be needed during the holidays. Let it be with you the amount is greater than expected, but you will be ready for possible unforeseen expenses. Small money will also come in handy, you can easily pay for the purchased goods or for the received service, because sellers try to take more from vacationers and tourists, referring to the lack of change. For tourists arriving from mainland Russia, it is better to open the “Dolphin” PRO100 card, which is issued instantly, in the branches of the RNKB bank in the field, and already use it on the territory of the peninsula.

Mobile phone, tablet

Modern gadgets are simply indispensable on vacation. If necessary, a mobile phone will help to contact the police or you can call an ambulance, it is also used as a navigator. If you relax with children, then a tablet or mobile phone can briefly distract the baby with cartoons or games, and parents get a little time to relax.

The mobile operator MTS of the Krasnodar Territory operates on the peninsula, which offers some of the most favorable rates today. There is also the operator "Win Mobile", to configure it you must manually select "Rus 32", "25032" in the phone settings. You can connect with any Russian SIM card.

In addition, many cafes and even beaches have free Wi-Fi. Each visitor will be able to enjoy a wonderful vacation and chat with friends and family via the Internet. It is also worthwhile to understand that the mobile Internet on the peninsula is practically absent, and if there is one, then its speed wants to be better.

Camera

Each vacationer wants to capture the pleasant moments of his journey and then share them with his relatives and friends. Take a camera with you, the main thing is to take a charger or batteries to it, so as not to look for them in a hurry in an unfamiliar city.

Going on vacation do not forget to get an insurance policy

Magazines and books

On vacation, I want to completely relax and read your favorite book or magazine, and some - to solve crosswords. If you like to spend time with a book in your hands, do not forget to put it in a bag with things. In addition, waiting for the arrival of the bus, train or boarding the plane, a magazine or book will help you get distracted, and time will fly by quickly.

First aid kit

If you go on a trip by car, then do not forget to bring along a portable first-aid kit, which will contain all the necessary medicines. The range of drugs on the peninsula is not so wide, therefore, the drug you need may not be available. In the first-aid kit should be funds that are useful for first aid, anti-allergic pills, wound healing creams, protective spray and insect ointment.

Children may need pills for motion sickness. In Crimea, the roads are winding, even an adult with a habit will feel uneasy. Therefore, it is worth putting such a remedy to other medicines. To the documents of the Russians, there must be a compulsory medical insurance policy, so that in case of injuries and illnesses use the services of medical institutions.

Food

Put long-term products in your bag, they may be useful at first. After all, you cannot know for sure how long you will get to your destination and when you visit a store or market. A bottle of still mineral water and packaging with snacks or cookies will be quite out of place. Thanks to this stock, you can quickly eat and feed the children. Now food prices in Crimea have risen quite a bit, including fruits and vegetables, so keep that in mind.

You should not take beach umbrellas with you to the sea, large swimming mattresses, flippers with a mask, they do not make much sense (unless of course you are not going to wild beaches). All that you will need, you can buy or just rent.
It is better to buy Crimean wines in specialized stores so as not to run into a fake.
Now, many Russians try to develop resort towns in the summer, but forget about the villages of Big Yalta, like Gurzuf, Simeiz, Foros. Here, housing and food prices may be lower than city prices, and there are fewer crowds of vacationers.
In Crimea, for lovers of extreme relaxation, there are many different programs and tours, you can get acquainted with them in more detail.
If money for rest is calculated, then it is better to rent housing further from the sea. For example: - Yalta, the city is small and getting to the sea is not difficult. Find out: How to relax cheaply in Yalta.

Gather everything you need for travel and hit the road. Let rest in Crimea give only positive emotions not only to children, but also to you!

Holidays in the Crimea attract more and more people who want to not only relax, but also improve their health. Given the unique climatic features of the peninsula - a combination of sea and mountain air, the gentle warm Black Sea and the silence of coastal resorts, most tourists take small children on a trip. When traveling on vacation with the whole family, it is necessary to provide for everything necessary, making a list of what to take at sea with a child.

Organization of relocation

When collecting things on the road, do not forget about the time that the baby will spend on the road. You can get to Crimea in three ways:

Having made an air flight;
By train;
By car or by bus.

In each of the listed cases, the list of medicines and things taken on the road can be changed or supplemented. For example, if you get to your destination by car or transfer to a shuttle bus, be sure to include sweets or tablets so that the child does not get sick.

On the train, be sure to grab a few board entertaining games or books so that the kid does not get bored on the way. No matter how long the trip lasts, travel time must be arranged, because for an active child it will still seem monotonous and tiring. Transferring the baby on the train, take care of clean drinking water, disposable tableware, personal hygiene products.

It is also necessary to selectively approach when choosing food for a child. Do not take perishable food on the road. During the holiday season, the air temperature in the Crimea rarely drops below 30 0 C, and therefore it is highly likely that the food you have prepared will quickly deteriorate.

Provide food to the child, taking with you on a trip:

Sachets of instant cereals;
Bread rolls, biscuits or cookies in packs;
Scones, pies with fruit filling;
Bananas, apples or oranges.

If the trip in the car will last more than 6 hours, you need to take a small pillow and a blanket in the car so that the baby can relax on the road. To prevent nausea and vomiting - it is only necessary to feed the child at stops! Have small breaks for lunch and relaxation.

First-aid kit for a child at sea

Compiling a short list will help you purchase and collect the medicines you need during your trip. This is true even if you are not going on a trip for the first time. The road list is convenient in that all purchased and already folded preparations can be crossed out, and forgotten ones can be added.

When collecting pharmaceuticals, be guided by the infrastructure of the resort where you will relax. If the city has a sufficient number of pharmacy stalls, you do not need to stock up on medicines for the entire period of stay at the sea. It is enough to have essential items in the medicine cabinet:

Antihistamines;
Painkillers;
Antipyretic medicines;
Saline solutions in case of poisoning;
Bandage, brilliant green, hydrogen peroxide, iodine;
Medicines prescribed to the baby on an ongoing basis (in cases where the child is chronically ill).

The main thing that you need to focus on when completing a first-aid kit is that it should contain medicines that can help you quickly provide first aid.

If a trip to the sea with a child is associated with constant transfers and transitions along tourist routes, or you will stay in the private sector, where there is a problem with medicines, make a slightly different list for your first-aid kit:

Antipyretic drugs (in tablets, syrups or suppositories);
Absorbents to relieve intoxication;
Medicines for colds and inflammations;
Drops in nose and ear;
Gels and ointments for sunburn;
Remedies for mosquitoes and drugs that cope with inflammation after bites.

If you are staying in the private sector of a small village of the Crimean peninsula, on the day of arrival, be sure to inquire about where the nearest medical institution is!

The best option for parents with young children are motels and holiday homes. In health resorts, in cases of unforeseen ailments, they will quickly provide the necessary assistance.

What to take the child to the sea

Try not to pack too many things with you. A cool summer in the Crimea is a rarity, so take one light jacket and tracksuit with you in case of a cold snap. This will be enough.

Of the things the baby will need:

3-4 pairs of panties and T-shirts, for older children - a bathing suit;
2 pairs of shorts and several t-shirts;
2 panamas;
Sandals or flip flops, a pair of closed shoes (in case of rain);
Cotton clothes with a long sleeve (useful if the child is sunburned).

Be sure to include several towels and thin diapers in the list of things at sea with your child. Even if the child is more than 1.5-2 years old, they can be useful to you.

This list of clothes is relevant for a trip to the sea only if you are sure that you can wash your baby's clothes as necessary. Do not take too many toys to the resort, even if you are going to relax by car. Most often, playing on the beach, the child with great pleasure uses improvised means - pebbles, shells or sand.

Try to stay on the beach until 11:00 in the morning and after 16-17: 00 in the evening, and so that the baby does not get bored during the day, take a trip to your favorite little book or album with pencils.

Try to make a list of what to take to the sea with your child in advance, then you will probably cross out a lot of unnecessary items, and remember what you forgot to buy.

Yalta is a great place to spend a vacation, regardless of the time of year. That is why many tourists periodically come here. Historical, passive and medical types of tourism are developed here. Depending on the time of year, it is worth taking various things with you to get the most out of your vacation.

Yalta has a very mild climate, so the rest will be really magnificent. However, you need to bring along some things in order not to feel constraint and inconvenience during the holidays. You do not need to collect large luggage. Depending on the season, various things will be required.

What to bring with you in the summer

If you are going to relax on the well-equipped beaches of Yalta in the summer, you should take the following with you:

Light clothing and bathing accessories that you definitely need. On local beaches, even those who can not swim have a rest. They are fully equipped and equipped with towers, on which lifeguards monitor the quiet relaxation of bathers.
From shoes it is worth taking open shoes, slates and evening shoes in case of going to a restaurant or a night club.
Of the accessories, you may need sunglasses, watches, towels, handkerchiefs, an umbrella, caps. In Yalta, it is quite sunny, so do not neglect headgear.
You may need a variety of cosmetic accessories, which include creams for hands, feet and body, sunscreens, personal care and hygiene products. Women should take care of a cosmetic bag, as there are many pleasant places in the city where you can go in the evening.
It is recommended to take care of the first-aid kit. It definitely should include poisoning, antipyretic and sore throat. It is possible that tourists may be allergic to various plants that grow only in this region, so you need to take medicine for allergies.

This is the minimum that will be required for a good stay in Yalta. A phone, tablet, and camera are recommended for capturing unbelievably beautiful views. Many people come themselves to lie on the golden sand and swim in the warm sea, since sightseeing tours in stuffy buses are best visited in spring and autumn, when the air temperature outside does not allow sunbathing on the beach, but is not cold enough for an active winter holiday in Yalta, which you can choose on the page of the city

What to take for rest in the fall

During this period, you need to bring warm clothes from your clothes: a windbreaker or coat, pants, jeans, shirts and t-shirts. Shoes need to choose a closed type, since the street is quite windy and in open models it will be cold. It is highly recommended that you put an umbrella in case of rain in your luggage.

Standard things include personal hygiene items, underwear, cosmetics, money, documents, a phone, a tablet, a camera. This list may be supplemented, depending on personal preference.

Winter holidays in Yalta

In winter, this region is especially beautiful. It attracts many with its picturesque views and unique recreation opportunities. There are several interesting excursions that are relevant precisely in the winter. To make the rest a success, you must take the following with you:

Warm clothes for walking on the street and easy to stay indoors. In particular, jeans, pants and shorts may be required.
Boots and regular shoes to go out. For sports (if any), grab running shoes.
Of the accessories, scarves, warm gloves and a hat will not be out of place.

Do not forget the standard items that should always be during a business trip or a tourist trip. Ski holidays are amazing. The mountainous terrain and gentle slopes allow everyone to learn how to ski or snowboard. Professionals will also find interesting descents in Yalta.

Yalta in the spring

In spring, it is recommended to take the same as in autumn. However, rains at this time are quite rare, and there are more warm days. Therefore, many people like to come here in late spring. Flowers already have time to blossom, and the roads are drying up. The "Golden Season" begins in mid-April - early May. Then it is still not very hot, so tourists can completely indulge in numerous interesting excursions.

The optimal composition of the first-aid kit for travel

Various situations can occur during the journey, which will require medication. To protect yourself from unpleasant consequences, you must have the following:

a bactericidal patch will be required from possible cuts and abrasions;
antiviral drugs such as kagocel, cycloferon, viferon or remantadine;
poisoning drugs, which include loperamide, phthalazole, activated carbon, enterosgel and others;
a means to lower the temperature, like teraflu, acetylsalicylic acid, citromone, and so on;
painkillers like ketanol, analgin, citramone;
allergy remedies.

Everyone has their own preferences in drugs, so there is no clear list of drug names. But the first aid kit should be with you. Drugs may be required at any time and it is more profitable to have them with you than to look for a pharmacy in an unfamiliar city.

How to dress children for a trip to Yalta

It is recommended to take things by season and not take too many things with you. However, replaceable pants or a jacket will be required if the trip took place in autumn or spring. The city has something to do for children of any age, so they are unlikely to be sitting in a room with a tablet or mobile phone. Due to outdoor activities, it is possible that things will get dirty, so replaceable clothing will certainly be required.

Regardless of the season, Yalta is beautiful. She attracts hundreds of tourists who visit numerous excursions, relax on the beach, and conduct active winter vacations. A large number of resorts can improve their health and strengthen immunity. The sea breeze and the nearby mountains are a great way to forget about problems and indulge in pleasure. The main thing is not to spoil the vacation by choosing the wrong clothes.
