Car tourism in Crimea is gaining momentum as never before. Traveling by car is great because it gives you freedom of movement and the right to change your route at the last moment, depending on your mood. And if some car tourists choose hotels for overnight stays, others prefer to stay in campsites − in the fresh air, under the starry sky, surrounded by nature. Such a holiday is imbued with the spirit of romance and adventurism. Therefore, take your family or friends, pack your bags, jump into your car and come to the hospitable Crimea.
