Spend 1–2 days: historic centre and beach walk, or a full festival weekend in late summer for Kazantip.
Yevpatoria is a seaside town on Crimea’s western coast with a 2,500‑year history, a long promenade, and the Kazantip electronic‑music festival each August. The historic core and beaches fit a short stay; the festival justifies a longer weekend.
