This is the true essence of Crimea. I attend the annual math conference that takes place right before the base closes, and it's only the conference participants present. As a result, it's peaceful, not crowded, and has an intimate atmosphere. This is something I appreciate. The base has well-built structures with cozy rooms, and the food is affordable but delicious, abundant, and nutritious. There's no luxurious resort vibe here, and there is room for improvement, especially regarding the beach. However, you can't help but fall in love with this place, and September wouldn't be complete without a trip here. The natural views of the sea, waves crashing on boulders (as if the waves are gently caressing the tired rocks), and the mountains looming over the base, often covered in beautiful clouds that seem to cascade down from them, deeply touch the soul and unintentionally captivate it. Additionally, the base is adorned with numerous sculptural figures of animals and adorable fairy-tale characters. There's an eagle with its wings spread wide, as if about to take flight, panthers hiding in the bushes, a proud deer lying on a massive boulder (the animals look so lifelike!), Snow White surrounded by seven dwarfs, and a cheerful chef wearing a cap who beckons everyone to dinner. In short, this place has a tremendous spirit that can be felt by those who are open to it. I absolutely love it!
