where is kaZantip republic - in popovka, crimean peninsula, ukraine

Popovka is the name of the idyllic seaside location where kaZantip republic has been built. it is a small, sleepy village where not much goes on when the kaZantip guests aren’t visiting.  Popovka, however, has one of the longest, widest, cleanest and most beautiful sandy beaches on the whole crimean peninsula. it is the place to experience the most incredible sunsets on the black sea. the water has a low salt content and is therefore particularly mild. it is crystal-clear and exceptionally clean.

Popovka is just under two hours drive from the airport at Simferopol, the crimean capital. crimea is a peninsula on the black sea and is part of ukraine. jalta and sevastopol are crimea’s best-known towns. crimea remains the top address on the black sea for sun worshippers from all states of the former Soviet Union as well as the whole of Europe.

with a daily temperature of around 30-35 C in July and August the climate tends to be hot and dry. an almost constant sea breeze makes the heat easily bearable. in the night the temperatures seldom sink below 18 C. the water temperature averages a pleasant 20-25 C. statistics show that there is a 95% chance of good sunny weather at this time of year.

prejudice

widespread prejudice towards the states of the former Soviet Union still remains. it is a fact, however, that the Ukraine has become a reliable constitutional state despite some political unrest in the past. the crime rate is comparable with that of other European states. in Crimea, for instance, the crime rate is actually lower than in holiday destinations such as Italy, Turkey or Spain. moreover, during the kaZantip republic season security is stepped up considerably. so it is no surprise that the inhabitants of crimea regard the village of Popovka and kaZantip republic as being safer during this time than the ukrainian national bank!
the ukrainians, particularly those on the crimean peninsula, are warm, hospitable people. In crimea the visitor is treated as both a king and a friend
