The first guests who come to bask in the sun and breathe in the sea air, Crimea begins to receive at the end of spring. Closer to summer, the thermometer is increasingly approaching the 20-degree mark, allowing tourists to enjoy the warmth while walking. Sometimes in May, vacationers have the opportunity to freshen up in the sea waters, although this happens extremely rarely. Some doubt whether it is worth going to the peninsula in June for a beach vacation. Definitely yes. In most regions, the swimming season begins during this period.
Those who have chosen the first summer month for a trip to Crimea will find useful information about the weather on the peninsula in June, as well as our list of resorts where you can stay and places worth visiting.
Weather in Crimea in June
Vacationers in Crimea in June already have access to a beach holiday, as well as some berries and fruits: cherries, apricots and strawberries. A significant advantage of staying on the peninsula this month is the absence of a large number of tourists and the exhausting heat typical of July and August. However, when planning a trip, it should be borne in mind that weather conditions depend on the decade.
Those who come to Crimea in early June devote time to walking and sunbathing, however, and I always manage to open the swimming season. In the first decade of the month, the thermometer is kept at around 20 ° C; sea water can warm up to the same indicators, but in most cases it is 2-3 grams. colder.
| Month | Water ° C |
| June 1-10 | + 20 ° C |
| June 10-20 | + 23 ° C |
| The end of the month | + 23-25 ° С |
When planning a vacation with small children, we advise you to go where the sea is warmer - to the shallow Azov coast. If we talk about whether it is possible to swim in June in the first days of the month in this part of the peninsula, then, as a rule, they do it already at the end of May.
In most regions, mid-June is suitable for a full beach holiday. The air temperature in the resorts reaches 23 ° С, water - 19-20 ° С. Winds and rains during this period (as well as throughout June) are rare. The restless sea can be observed mainly in the vicinity of the Kerch Strait.
The last decade of the month brings sultry days when the air warms up to 26-27 ° С. In Simferopol, the thermometer can rise to the 30-degree mark. The sea, warmed up to 22 degrees, becomes comfortable even for small children.
In general, June is a dry and calm month, however, in some regions precipitation falls more often than in others. The most "humid" places are Simferopol, Gurzuf, Alushta, Rybachye and Partenit (it rains up to 3 times a week).
| Month | Air in the afternoon ° C | Air at night ° C |
| June 1-10 | + 25 ° C | + 13 ° C |
| June 10-20 | + 27 ° C | + 15 ° C |
| The end of the month | + 29 ° C | + 16 ° C |
For your information
Several times during the summer in the Crimea there is a "run-off of water" lasting 3-5 days. This unpredictable natural phenomenon consists in the mixing of cold currents with a heated part of the sea, as a result of which the water cools significantly.
Where to go to rest in Crimea in June
The answer to the question of where it is better to relax in Crimea in June depends on the plans and composition of travelers: some resorts will be more comfortable for young people, others will suit married couples and elderly people; some regions at the beginning of June will allow you to enjoy swimming, and somewhere it will be possible mainly walks and excursions.
Where to go for lovers of "seal" rest
When planning to spend a vacation on the beach, we advise you to go where it is warmer in Crimea in June. Despite the fact that the differences between the regions are not great, it will be more comfortable in Sudak, Evpatoria, Sevastopol and Feodosia. The air and sea are warming up faster here; if the average water temperature in Crimea in June is 18-20 ° C, then near these resorts - 22. However, long-term bathing becomes possible in the second half of the month.
The Azov coast deserves special attention. In early summer, the shallowness of the sea becomes an advantage, allowing it to warm up faster. Those who want to have a guaranteed vacation "in the water" should go to Shchelkino, Kerch, Mysovoye, Semyonovka, Solyanoye and Kamenskoye. In addition to the possibility of swimming, tourists get uncrowded spacious beaches. However, active vacationers will be bored here: the tourist infrastructure of this area is absolutely undeveloped. There is only the necessary minimum - a few shops or a market for purchasing food, simple eateries, a couple of playgrounds and a housing area.
Where to relax active tourists
The best option for those who plan to devote their vacation in Crimea in June to excursions and entertainment will be the South Coast and its pearl - Yalta. The main attractions of the peninsula are concentrated in the vicinity of this resort capital:
- castle on the rock - Swallow's Nest;
- in the past, the residence of the royal family of the Romanovs - Livadia Palace;
- rare plants and beautiful landscapes of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden;
- mountain "Ai-Petri" with a cable car, caves and waterfalls;
- Massandra Palace, etc.
In addition, tourists can visit museums, a water park, a crocodile farm, a zoo and much more.
On a note
Rest in Yalta cannot be called budget. If you need to save money, we recommend staying in nearby villages - Nikita, Koreiz, Beregovoye, etc.
As an alternative to Yalta, one can consider another large resort on the peninsula - Alushta. Its surroundings represent a natural treasury: caves, waterfalls, bizarre rocks become the object of admiration for travelers. City entertainment is represented by the dolphinarium, the Alushta aquarium, the Multipark, the ability to fly a paraglider, take a walk on quads, etc.
Wellness tour
If the question arises of where to go to Crimea in June to improve health, we recommend choosing resorts depending on the presence of diseases. Evpatoria and Saki with their springs of therapeutic mud are suitable for people with disabilities of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. For persons with respiratory problems, it is better to stay in sanatoriums surrounded by juniper, cedar and pine forests (in Gurzuf, Foros, Novy Svet).
Holidays with children - where is better
Since the warmest sea in Crimea in June is the Azov Sea, its sandy coast is especially attractive for families with preschool children. Thanks to the shallow water, parents do not need to worry about their child's safety.
No less advantage of the resorts in this area is the cost of living in boarding houses, hotels or the private sector. You can rent a family room in a mini-hotel or a guest house in Shchelkino, Mysovoye, Semyonovka near the sea for 1,500-2,000 rubles. per day. When choosing a vacation spot, we recommend paying attention to the presence of a playground; sometimes the owners place a small pool in the local area. Such details can be important because there are no other entertainments in the resort area.
For those who prefer to diversify their stay on the beach with walks and entertainment, we recommend that you relax in Crimea in Sudak in June. The city is a fairly developed resort on the southern coast in terms of infrastructure: there are hospitals, pharmacies, shopping centers, restaurants and a central market. Some catering establishments ("Eva", "Gostiny Dvorik", etc.) are focused on young travelers and organize various events for them; on the city embankment in the evening, little guests are entertained by animators. In your free time from swimming, you can visit the amusement park, the play area "Igrulya", the water park and the cinema.
Another resort after Sudak, which allows you to combine a beach holiday in June with children in the Crimea with entertainment - Evpatoria (west coast).There are many establishments for young guests:
- one of the best water parks of the peninsula - "Banana Republic";
- dolphinarium;
- Tropic Park;
- "City of Fairy Tales";
- Miniature Park;
- Dinopark;
- "Museum of the Clown", etc.
Most of the resort's beaches are equipped with changing rooms, toilets; There are eateries and water attractions on site. You can stay both in the private sector and in hotels. A guest house will cost 2000-3000 rubles per day. More budget housing options (800-1000 rubles per night) are available in nearby villages - Zaozernoye, Popovka, Mirny, Shtormovoy and Molochny. True, you will have to go to the city for entertainment. We advise you to choose this option for those traveling by personal car, because transport links in this region are poorly developed.
Families with children coming to Evpatoria are popular with boarding houses with swimming pools, animation programs, spa centers; some of them work on the all-inclusive system and provide health services (Tavria, Zolotoy Bereg, Family Resort, Oasis, TES Hotel Resort & Spa, etc.). Here you can strengthen the body or just relax while specially trained staff are working on the children.

Where to go and what to see
Crimea has a large number of historical, architectural and natural attractions, which will be comfortable to visit in June - the month when there is no intense heat and frequent rains. However, on excursions, you will already need sunscreen and a hat.
For architecture connoisseurs, we recommend the following objects:
- the castle built on the top of the cliff - "Swallow's Nest";
- famous palace ensembles - Livadiyskiy, Massandrovskiy, Vorontsovskiy and Khanskiy;
- temple complexes: Foros Church, located on the edge of a cliff, built in the Byzantine period, the Temple of John the Baptist and the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, distinguished by its festive decoration;
The combination of natural beauty and human skill is presented in park areas: Nikitsky Botanical Garden with a collection of rare plants, Vorontsovsky Park with ponds and fountains, in the Paradise Park, which includes several themed zones, decorated with sculptures and surrounded by an olive grove.
To get acquainted with the historical heritage, we advise you to go to such preserved monuments as:
- archaeological reserve Chersonesos Tauride with the remains of a Greek settlement of the 4th century. BC.;
- a medieval defensive structure, now a museum - the Genoese fortress.
Those for whom rest cannot be imagined without walks through picturesque landscapes will be interested in natural attractions:
- water bodies: Uchan-Su waterfall over 90 m high and pink lake Koyashskoye;
- caves: Marble with bizarre stalagmites and stalactites, red-red Kizil-Koba with underground rivers and a lake, the ancient cave city of Chufut-Kale;
- mountain peaks: Ai-Petri, which can be climbed by cable car; Cape Fiolent with grottoes and pristine wild beaches.
Crimea is beautiful at any time of the year, however, in summer, tourists can not only walk and see the sights of the peninsula, but also swim in warm sea water. In June, when the coast is not yet crowded with tourists, the rest becomes as comfortable as possible.
