Alushta is beautiful in every season: it is sunny and cool, green-shaded and free-spirited; sea-gulls cry and small yachts break the waves.
But the mountains near Alushta are not so close as ones around Yalta, they leave two passes for the winds to ventilate the air in the town.
Alushta (36 kilometres south of Simferopol) combines the comfort and refinement of the Southern Coast (in the west) with the freedom of the untouched would-be-resort lands (in the east).
In Alushta there are about 80 health resorts, many dozens of rest houses, camps for students and children, and also hundreds of private mini-hotels, many of which have pools with warm sea water.
Alushta's mountain amphitheatre is the most beautiful and extensive in the Crimea.
