By Bus 

All buses arrive at Yevpatoriya’s bus station (автовокзал). The station is 

small, clean and neat. It is located just next to the train station in the heart of 

the city. A currency exchange office (обмен валют) and an ATM (банкомат) 

can be found at the train station. Taxis are always on hand and can take you to 

most destinations for 20Hr to 40Hr. There are local mini buses (marsrutkas) 

that pass by and go to several destinations. One can also get a bus to the 

Kazantip Festival when it is on in August. Tram N°1 is probably the shortest 

street car line in the world going only 3 stops. It does, however connect one 

to another cross-town tram line and brings one nearly to the sea. 

By Train 

The refurbished Railway Station (вокзал) is located in the heart of the 

city and shares its territory with the bus station. Currency exchange (обмен 

валют) points and ATMs (банкомат) are nearby. Taxis are always on hand 

and can take you to most destinations for 20Hr to 40Hr. There are local 

mini buses (marsrutkas) that pass by and go to several destinations. Tram 

N°1 is probably the shortest street car line in the world going only 3 stops. 

It does, however connect one to another cross-town tram line and brings 

one nearly to the sea. Most of train connections operate only in the “high 

season”, from the beginning of June until the end of September. (The exact 

dates change each year.) 

The exception is the electric train (eletrichka). This runs every few hours to 

Simferopol and is very inexpensive. The seats are hard and it takes about 

3 hours. 

By Plane 

Simferopol State International caters to both international and domestic 

flights in the Crimea. Located about 20km west of Simferopol, it is a small 

but kind of modern facility. Passport and customs officials should speak 

English. You will find currency exchange offices (обмен валют) and an ATM 

(банкомат). It is possible to get a taxi for the 1 hour ride for anywhere 

from 150Hr and upwards. It’s a good chance to practice your negotiating 

skills. For the budget traveller, buses leave roughly every 30 minutes to 

the Simferopol railway station. There is also a trolley bus which takes a 

lot long but costs next to nothing. From the railway, follow our instructions 

for a bus to Yevpatoriya. (Note: if you take a bus to the railway station and 

then another bus to Yevpatoriya, you may notice that the bus passes by 

the airport. These buses are always full so trying to walk to the highway 

and stopping one going to Yevpatoriya is nearly impossible. However, when 

returning to the airport from Yevpatoriya, one can buy a ticket to the railway 

station and disembark at the airport turnoff saving much time. It’s about a 

15 minute walk.) There are several car rental agencies at the airport with 

fairly good rates. 

By Sea 

We found that there is one ferry service that runs between Yevpatoriya and Istanbul. 

It travels each way once a week in the summer season. This should be 

booked through a travel agent or by the Yevpatoriya tourist information centre. 

Help! In the off season, October to end of May, one would arrive by train in Crimea inyourpocket.com

at the Central Railway Station (центральний вокзал) in Simferopol. From 

here one can take a taxi to Yevpatoriya for around 150-200Hr. There is a bus 

station right in front of the railway station. From here there are buses every 

15-30 minutes to Yevpatoriya. (In the high season every 5-10 minutes.) Be 

sure to allow 10-20 minutes or longer buying your ticket at the “kassa”. It can 

be a real battle in the busy times. Tickets cost about 20Hr. The ride takes 

about an hour and 15 minutes or longer depending on traffic.

Alcohol 

Ukrainian beer (pyvo) is quite tasty and extremely cheap to boot. Tipsiness 

may set in early, though, as its alcohol content is higher than Western brands. 

Those preferring foreign brands can find their favourites at finer shops and 

establishments. Ukraine also produces a wide selection of vodka, which flows 

freely at many parties and gatherings. Beware if offered homemade vodka 

(samohon). While good samohon can be better than some bootleg labels in 

shops, the overall odds are against you and your stomach. Whether it’s Ukrainian 

vodka or moonshine, be ready to offer a toast at some point. A modest ’cheers’ 

(bud’mo) will do for a foreigner. 

Language 

The country’s official language is Ukrainian. Since independence in 1991, 

it has become much more popular and widespread. Still, Russian is heavily 

used in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine, and only in western regions is Ukrainian 

truly predominant. 

Money 

The national currency is the hryvnia (Hr), which replaced the transitional karbovanets 

on September 2, 1996. Don’t be confused if your amount is given in roubles. You 

haven’t been transported to Russia or taken back in time to the USSR - some people 

just have trouble letting go of the past! Paper bills carry denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 

50, 100, 200 and 500 hryvnias. Another word to the wise: two versions exist of the 

1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 hryvnia bills, and both are accepted everywhere. 

There are 100 kopecks in a hryvnia, with 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 kopeck and 1Hr coins. 

You’ll have no problem finding currency exchange points, but rates are better 

from central street kiosks. If it’s traveller’s checks you need to cash, look for a big 

respectable-looking bank. You can find a number of ATMs around Yevpatoria and 

many hotels and restaurants now take Visa and MasterCard - American Express is 

not very popular. There have been scattered reports of credit card fraud in upscale 

restaurants, though, so you may want to think twice before charging it. 

Safety 

They say that Ukrainians can spot a foreigner from a kilometre away. This fact 

alone will not automatically make you the target of crime. Yevpatoria is, in fact, 

a rather safe place. As in most cities, flashing large amounts of cash can cause 

trouble. Wallets are known to disappear in public transport crowds, so guard 

your pockets at all times. Being very drunk and/or loud on the street is always 

a good way to attract unwanted attention, especially from the police. By the 

way, it’s a good idea for foreigners to carry at least a copy of their passport

Smoking 

You’re never too far away from a lit cigarette in Ukraine, and in some bars and 

clubs the term second-hand smoke just doesn’t seem to matter. Smokers 

enjoy a ridiculously cheap selection of cigarettes hawked by one of the many 

babushkas and corner kiosks that are located throughout the city. Just recently 

Ukraine outlawed smoking in most public places and the workplace, except in 

specially designated areas. It is the responsibility of each company to provide 

a designated area for all smoking patrons or personnel. These special places 

can not exceed 50% of the total allotted area of the business. Since this law is 

relatively new in Ukraine, not every business has begun to enforce it.

rambler.ru, www.veles.inform-plus.com. Only a few years old, this very 

modern pension is only 100 meters from the sea and has a large heated pool 

surrounded by exquisitely landscaped gardens. The restaurant offers Russian, 

European, and seafood dishes. We are not sure if the pension is open in the off 

season as the staff seemed to have no interest in being in this publication, and 

couldn‘t be bothered to answer any questions. Still, it looks like a nice place.

Apartments 

Yevpatoriya Apartments tel. (+380) 50 331 50 28, val@ciac.biz. Lo- 

cated throughout Yevpatoriya are several modern and luxurious apartments. In 

addition there are some complete houses that can be rented whole or by the 

room. The operation is run by Val, an Australian of Russian decent. He is also 

available as a translator/guide and does excursions not just in the Yevpatoriya 

area, but all of Crimea including visits to the very little known “lost cities‘ of 

Crimea. Give him a call; it will be well worth your effort! 

Yevpatoriya is one of the most ancient cities on the territory of 

Ukraine, with a history dating back more than 25 centuries. We will 

try our best to summarize the fascinating history of a place where 

nomadic tribes once fought and the servants of the Crimean khans 

raced with urgent messages... 

Kerkinitida is the most ancient name of Yevpatoriya. In the 4th century 

BC Greeks from Miletus came on the shore of the modern territory of 

Yevpatoriya. Presumably, one of the leaders in the new settlement 

was someone called Karkin, after whom the settlement was named. 

The name was later changed to Kerkinitida. Hecataeus of Miletus, 

Herodotus, Pliny, and Mela mentioned Kerkinitida in their works. 

The second name of the city was received from the Tartars. In 13th 

century, late at night on the shore of the Kalamitskiy Bay the Tartar 

horsemen appeared. They saw lights in the windows of the houses 

that appeared to them as huge eyes, winking pleasantly to tired 

riders. One of the Tartar horsemen cried out: “Gez”, which means 

“an eye” and another added “ev” that means “a house”. So the city 

was then known as Gezlev. 

The present day name came from the Greeks again. During the winter 

of 108-107 BC, Diophantus defeated the army of the Scythian king 

Palak and entrenched his army in North-Western Crimea. To gain 

control over this part of Crimea, Diophantus built a fortress and 

named it in honor of Mithridates, Yevpator. 

Nowadays, Yevpatpriya is well known for its beaches, which are 

famous for clean and soft golden sand, clear clean water and a 

gently sloping bottom. 

Two Yevpatoriya beaches even received an international certificate 

of quality “Blue Flag” and became the first in Ukraine to receive this 

quality certificate. 

The city lives its own special, sunny life, waking at night to open-air 

restaurants, bars, and falling asleep in the morning on the golden 

sand. After the high season period, open-air venues shut down 

and long autumn with rains and storms begins. Sometimes winter 

comes into the city. But mostly spring comes right after autumn, and 

primroses bloom in December. Yevpatorians again put in order the 

beaches and cafes and are looking forward to meeting and welcoming 

the new hot summer and flocking tourists.

and 30‘s with instrumental arrangements of songs from old popular films. There 

is often live piano music from 19:00. There are sometimes literary evenings and 

social events held in the café. QOpen 10:00 - 24:00. P

39 00. Centrally located just across the street from the park and waterfront. 

The 1st room is of a “jazz décor”. It is bright and sunny and there are photos of 

jazz musicians (from Chicago?) from the 30‘s and 40‘s There are several musi- 

cal instruments on the wall. This room seats 32. The 2nd room is the “gangster 

room” with photos of real and “Hollywood” villains on the walls. On each table is a 

unique photo montage, a kind of “picture history” of life in the states in the 30‘s & 

40‘s.This room seats 22. We eventually found a wide selection of salads, pasta, 

and pizza. There is no English menu and no attempt was made to help us. After 

deciding on Spaghetti Carbonara, (something we and the server understood), 

we were told it would take at least 40 minutes. So we settled on a Greek salad & 

the four season pizza. We thought we were playing it safe. The salad came with 

vinegar on it, and the pizza had shellfish, two items we never order. The quality 

was excellent and though a bit pricy for Evpatoria, it is well worth it- for those who 

like vinegar and shellfish. QOpen 10:00 - 23:00. VNGSW 

Crazy cafe D-3, Gogolya 17A, tel. (+380) 6569 2 70 86, www.pierplus.

with games for children. At 22:00 it becomes a disco/night club sometimes 

with go-go girls and a strip show. The staff is very pleasant and speaks English. 

There is a very unique picture menu. At first glance we thought “Oh no-not sushi 

again”. It turned out to be various Ukrainian salads dressed like sushi. There are 

oodles of pizza to choose from, and cooked in a real stone pizza oven! We tried 

the chicken pizza for 70Hr. and really enjoyed it. Another surprise is the movie 

theatre/restaurant. Current action thrillers are shown (Russian sound track) and 

anyone can watch-as long as a meal is ordered. The theater holds about a dozen 

with comfy chairs and tables. QOpen 10:00 - 06:00. PA6VGSW

and presto-your order is taken. The prices are very reasonable with all sorts of unique 

soups and salads for starters costing between 20Hr.-45Hr. It was so hard to choose 

the main dish as there are many exotic dishes available. Not being nomads ourselves, 

we passed on the horse dish. We settled on the “lamb ribs with dried apricots stewed 

with vegetables “It was 80Hr. and very tasty and filling.During the summer season, 

restaurant culinary tours are conducted. While we were there a TV cooking show 

was taking place during our meal. QOpen 10:00 - 24:00. PTUIGBXS

well-known for its traditional Korean cuisine. The staff is very friendly yet it was 

difficult to communicate as there is no English menu. That can all be overlooked as 

one realizes that the chef is actually Korean. This is a simple Ukrainian restaurant

TOURIST INFORMATION CENTRES 

IN CRIMEA 

The health resorts in Yevpatoria are unique. They were built in the time of the 

USSR and area now owned by various Ukrainian ministries such as the tax 

department, ministry of agriculture, ministry of defence, etc. Until recently these 

sanatoriums have remained closed to the general public. They are now opening 

their doors and bookings may be made through certain travel agencies as well 

as the Tourist information in Yevpatoria. All these sanatoriums listed have a long 

reputation of catering to various illnesses and diseases. They employ special 

mud and other treatments, some found nowhere else. The medical-rehabilitation 

programs are made individually, taking into account the basic diagnosis, age, 

region of residing, a functional condition of an organism and according to the 

confirmed standards of sanatorium treatment. The priority is given to use of 

natural physical factors: special sulfide, mud, brine from Mojnaksky lake, and 

chloride mineral water. They may vary in the treatments that they specialize in 

and offer, but most of them cater to a long list of aliments and illnesses. It would 

be wise to check with ones doctor in choosing one! It should also be noted that 

they are not used to foreigners and speak only Russian and have virtually no 

information in any other language. The daily routine including meals is basically 

of the old Soviet style. Considering all this, it is still a great deal when one is 

looking for very special and affordable treatment.

Jazz-Depo C-3, Demysheva 105, tel. (+380) 6569 2 80 12, www.jazz-

club. There are pictures of famous international jazz artists on the walls and there 

is a huge record on the wall. The bar is in the back of a fire truck parked in the 

building. (Or the building was built around the fire truck?) The place is smartly 

decorated with booths in a semi circle around the small dance floor and stage. 

The menu was only in Russian but the servers were fluent in English and it was 

no problem. We had a lovely steak with home potatoes which was really tasty 

and just 45Hr per 100 grams. Finally the music started and I was so excited. It 

was a Saturday night, and there were Sveta & Igor singing old Russian & English 

pop songs messing up the English lyrics. The jazz, I was told, was every so 

often when the boss appears with his sax. Better luck next time. Q PXS
