The former name of Feodosiya is Kafa. It's a really old town that dates back to XII-XVIII centuries A.D. There was the Crimean biggest slave market in Kafa at those times. You will see ruins of ancient towers that witnessed life of the medieval Crimea.
Now Feodosiya is a popular recreation place with wonderful sandy beaches, lots of cafes and restaurants.
A famous Russian painter of seascapes Ayvasovsky lived in Feodosiya for a long time. His gallery is a "must see" now. And you should definitely visit Kara Dag. It is an extinct volcano known for its natural beauties. Kara Dag is a National park and protected by the Ukrainian government. It is very nice to have a boat trip around the volcano in summer time. And there's a very famous "nude beach" there.
Getting to Feodosiya
You can reach Feodosiya from Simferopol (120 km) by road or by a train. There are very few trains from Kiev to Feodosiya, so you should choose a car or a bus. You can take a bus from Simferopol airport, railway station or Simferopol main bus station. The ticket costs around $3.00 and it will take you about 2 hours to get to Feodosiya. A taxi-driver can charge you $40.00-$60.00. A microbus is also available for about $3.00- $5.00.
Accomodation in Feodosiya
There is an old-style hotel in Feodosiya which is located exactly across the street from the railway station. The rooms are "not excellent" but if you are lucky, you'll find one with hot water. It would be better if you stay in a private apartment and we will certainly help you find it!
