Ilyichevsk is famous not only for its beautiful Black Sea coast and warm climate. It should be noted that it is also an important industrial settlement - many factories operate here and some of the largest ports in Ukraine are located. However, even with this economic factor, it remains a clean and ennobled resort of the Black Sea region. Here there is exactly what attracts modern tourists - alleys, parks, fountains, streets where you can spend a relaxing holiday and breathe in healing air.
The port and all enterprises operating through it are located in the estuary bay. Thanks to this, industry does not affect the environmental condition of the residential sector. It is separated from these buildings by a wide park area.
By the way, in 2016 Ilyichevsk was renamed Chernomorsk. This is where the Bulgarian Golden Sands originate. The clean beach that is located here is interrupted by the mouth of the Danube.
This resort area has become popular due to its fresh and healing air, beautiful sea, warm sun and “golden” beaches. Housing here is inexpensive, which allows people of any income to find good places. The shore is filled with park areas and groves. There are recreation centers, boarding houses, hotels and inns here.
There are a lot of restaurants, cafes, bars, night clubs located in a city like Ilyichevsk. The vacation (recreation centers will be discussed below) promises to be unforgettable. Thanks to the summer areas and gazebos, a romantic evening or dinner with your family will forever be remembered.
Local hotels, as a rule, do not have large rooms. Almost all are built on the sea coast. Near them there must be a cafe or restaurant, a pharmacy, or a store.
Choosing housing
Ilyichevsk offers various housing options. Vacations (recreation centers are the most popular) can be spent both in expensive comfortable apartments and in cheaper rooms. Even without paying attention to the fact that the city is small in size, it should be noted that the range of housing offered will compete with any large resort.
In addition to recreation centers and hotels, apartments and rooms in houses located near the coast in the private sector are often rented here. Approximate prices are $12-16, but in the summer the cost increases many times.
In the private sector there are hotels and guest houses. In the latter, the average cost of a room is $8-12. In hotels, prices are much higher: from $30 to $120. There are room options with access to the courtyard and private parking.
Hotels
For a small fee you can stay in comfortable rooms in local hotels and inns. The leaders of these were “Nika” and “Elite Tennis Club”. On the territory of the latter there are various tennis courts, which allow vacationers to learn how to play or maintain their level even during their vacation.
The average cost of $60-200 was set by elite complexes - “Fountain”, “Villa on the Embankment”. Ilyichevsk is famous for them. Rest (recreation centers and these establishments are constantly competing) is offered to be spent in the following rooms to choose from:
- luxury (family, exclusive);
- standard (double);
- two-level room (5-6 people).
Meals, parking and internet may be included in the room rate. However, this issue must be clarified with all establishments.
Recreation centers
The minimum cost of living at recreation centers in Ilyichevsk is $4. As budget options, we can offer the “Panorama”, “Dolphin”, “Flower”, “Bukovyna” complexes. In them, rooms for two people per night will cost from $14 to $22. The boarding houses “Skazka”, “Zaliv” and others will cost a little more. Their average room price is $20-60.
Most local complexes have their own equipped beach. This especially pleases guests who decide to visit Ilyichevsk. Recreation (recreation centers in this city are in unprecedented demand) can be spent on sports grounds or wandering in the nearby forest. Landscaping is an issue that greatly worries the city administration and the establishments themselves. In the summer, you need to book a room in advance, as you may find that there are no available options. Moreover, the longer you wait to rent, the more expensive your accommodation will be.
"Laguna South"
Let's consider the option of where you can settle when you arrive in Ilyichevsk. The recreation center "Laguna-South" is located in one of the parts of Bugovo. Three meals a day and barbecue rental are offered here. The administration organizes excursions to dolphinariums and water parks. There is an opportunity to go fishing.
On the territory of the establishment there is Internet, children's and sports grounds, a sauna, a cafe, parking and more. The minimum room rate per night is $2 per person.
"Lukomorye"
The cost of the house per person is $4. Before the change of management, this complex was constantly visited by tourists. They knew that the place was always clean and the dining room had delicious food. However, now the Lukomorye recreation center (Ilyichevsk) constantly receives negative reviews from vacationers. The most common complaint is theft. During the day, houses are opened, and after that the administration evicts people and sends them back home.
"Falcon"
The recreation center accommodates people on the territory of a large complex designed for 200 people. It is possible to live in a house where 2-3 people can live at the same time. Meals are either three times a day or self-catering in the dining room. There is a cafe and bar on the beach. The recreation center "Sokol" (Ilyichevsk) is famous for its clean coastline and excellent service.

Hello dear readers of the blog site! It has already become a tradition that every year in the summer I publish an article in the “” section, where I talk about my travels outside my beloved homeland in order to relax with my family on the sandy seashore and gain fresh strength.
You understand that offline work, Internet activities and other bustle of life are tied somewhere to clear the brain and relieve accumulated stress.
Purpose of rest: Odessa - Ilyichevsk
Anyone who follows my travels to the shores of the Black Sea knows how we already had to relax in Sudak and Anapa, if not, please read past articles and remember how it was.
I’ll be honest, this year my plans were to visit Bulgaria or Turkey, but sad as it may be to say, the economic crisis and other financial nuances did not allow my plans to come true, I’m sure next summer everything will be different.
Since the railway networks cover all countries, this year we again chose the “Belarusian Chygunka” for a trip to the Black Sea coast.
Since the road to the Crimean peninsula became impossible for ordinary citizens for political reasons, we decided to make our way to Odessa, and from there to some coastal city or village (Zatoka, Ilyichevsk, Gribovka, Molodeznoye, etc.).
We bought tickets for the Minsk-Odessa train, where we had to spend about 20 hours on the road.
Once in the hero city of Odessa, we did not bother with public transport, so thanks to a private cab, our company was delivered to a small town called Ilyichevsk.
The city is located 20 km from Odessa on the right bank of the Sukhoi Liman.
By the time we got to our destination, it was about one o’clock in the afternoon, plus we had to spend several hours looking for accommodation.
To be honest, this year a large flow of vacationers poured into the Odessa lands, so we had to tinker a lot with housing, which could not help but exhaust us.
I even began to regret that I had not resolved this issue earlier, while I was still in Belarus.
After checking into the private sector, we went to the beach (we were 100% pleased with the warm and clean water), bought some groceries and decided to relax.
We need to gain strength before subsequent days of active rest.
Resort Ilyichevsk - day after day
Every day we started from the beach, which took almost 20 minutes to get there. The central beach is wide, sandy, and most importantly with warm and mirror-clear water.
I have been to different places of the Black Sea, but for some reason it was only in the Odessa region that I noticed such mirror-clear water.
Or maybe this is all due to the fact that last year Anapa upset us with green algae.
There are a lot of vacationers on the beach, but due to the fact that it is long and wide, people do not gather in one place, which makes it possible to easily find a place.
For entertainment, the beach gives everyone the opportunity to ride a banana, a bun, a Batman, an ATV and other water attractions.
Local residents will not leave anyone unattended and will offer to buy sweets (baklava, buns, straws, waffles), seafood (mussels, rapana, shrimp), as well as various kinds of drinks.
But if someone wants to save money, then just walk a few meters from the beach and it will be possible to buy the same thing, but for less money.
For food, we decided not to resort to cooking and other cuisine, so we ate in local bars, cafes and restaurants right on the Black Sea shore.
For example, the price tag for a set lunch ranged from 35 to 60 hryvnia.
If we talk about prices for food, clothes and other goods, then for us residents of Belarus they are low, since they do not exceed ours, and yet we are at a resort.
But not everything was as rosy as it seems at first glance. There were establishments where it was simply uncomfortable to be (uncleaned tables, cobwebs, dirt), not to mention eating there.
If we talk about the weather, we were unlucky, because of the 6 days that we arrived, most of them were heavily cloudy, windy and rainy. 🙁
And as if by the law of meanness, on the day when we boarded the train back home, the warm sun appeared.
Thanks to the bad weather, we decided to take some kind of excursion and see other surroundings besides Ilyichevsk.
The Ilyichevsk region does not spoil tourists much with excursions, since there is simply nowhere to go. There is a local port, but it is expensive for tourists.
Therefore, for those who like to see something there, they will have to go towards Odessa, which we did with the help of a local travel agency.
To be honest, I’ve heard a lot about Odessa, but I never thought that it was such a young, but at the same time large, and most importantly beautiful city.
It was even a little disappointing that we chose boring Ilyichevsk for our vacation. I recommend everyone to relax in Odessa, even if it is more expensive, but it is worth it.
The tour of Odessa lasts about 4 hours, during which we managed to see: Derevyanko Square, Fountain, French Boulevard, Philharmonic Hall, House of Clowns, Zhvanetsky Boulevard, Monument to the Bribe, Shah's Palace, Mother-in-Law Bridge, Bridge of Love, Flat House, Vorontsov Palace, Opera House, Potemkin Stairs, monument to Duke de Richelieu, monument to Catherine II, monument to A.S. Pushkin, Deribasovskaya, “Tree of Love”, Primorsky Boulevard, City Garden and much more.
On other stormy days, we had no desire to go anywhere else, so we simply enjoyed the raging Black Sea.
Conclusion
Of all my trips to the Black Sea coast, this turned out to be the least interesting.
We were unlucky with the weather (most days are rainy) and the vacation spot (Ilyichevsk is a boring city, and the Odessa coast is a flat area, the views of which do not impress tourists in any way).
In a word, Odessa is very far from Crimea and I am very sorry that now it is not possible for us to relax there under the same conditions as before.
If you want to see only the Black Sea, for little money, the Odessa region is waiting for you. If you want something more, then look for another place.
That’s all for me, the rest is behind me, now I need to get back to work, and new adventures lie ahead.
Waiting for your opinion, bye!
