How to orient yourself in the city

Saki is built in such a way that the beaches are beyond the city limits, and immediately behind it lie the salt lakes with the same curative water and mud. To get to the sandy beaches near the clear sea you need to drive from the bus station or the center by a local bus to the city, towards Evpatoria to the stop "Poltava" near the sanatorium of the same name. The whole trip takes 10 minutes from the force, but the taxi driver is better to ask again if the car goes to the sea.

If you go from the sanatorium to the children's camp for another 10 minutes, then you will go to a wild beach, where there are few tourists, there are no entertainments and there are practically no peddlers. You can travel by public transport to the beach in the village of Novofedorivka.
