KaZantip is located at the south-west coast of the Black Sea in the Crimea, Ukraine. KaZantip is a virtual republic and is every year new founded.
How to reach the KaZantip festival:
The easiest way is to fly to Simferopol International airport where you then make your way to KaZantip. You can also fly first to Kiev then make your way to Simferopol by plane or train. At Simferopol we will meet you and ensure you get to KaZantip without delay. We recommend that you book your trip trough a travel agency with experience in dealing with Ukraine.
There are also other ways to reach the KaZantip festival. You can take a coach to Simferopol from every major European city which one-way should take around 48 hours, obviously this is cheap but not the most comfortable way to get to Kazantip.
Flight outside you dreams, unlimited fun, lot of sun shine, wonderful sand beaches, warm Black See, sexy pretty youth, non-stop party on 14 dance flour, first-rate Russian & foreign DJs… This unbelievable non-stop party goes in every year from middle of July till the end of August. Fresh breath of see-breeze brings good weather and wonderful mood for all the people on the beach.
The temperature is about +28-30 0C during the day and +23-25 0C at the night. The water temperature is nearly +22-24 0C and it’s ideal for non-stop dances and see-bathing.
Being there you forget about everything and only dance, have fun and swim. Party night changes by party day. KaZantip – it’s a fancy world of music, relaxation and love, and it was made especially for you
KaZantip – yearly festival of dancing music – appeared from underground dancing culture (beginning of 90’s) and became the biggest one. A lot of people from Russia, Europe, USA, Canada and even Australia are interested in this festival.
Cape Kazantip, reaching northwards far out into the Sea of Azov, is an exceptionally interesting place. The Kerch landscapes are not the same as those on the southern coast, there are no bright colours and lush floral tints, but the land forms contain some amazing and bizarre rock formations. If you look closely you will discover new features in this wild, deserted, and somewhat out of this world landscape.
A decision had been made by the authorities to build a nuclear power plant on Cape Kazantip, on the coast of the salty lake Aktashski. The construction was stopped by the energetic efforts of the Crimean environmentalists, who even resorted to hunger strikes to make their case.
Kazantip is a dissident dance party, a subculture intended to transform a culture. Or perhaps: a party that reflects a transformation. The quasi-political tenor of the festival is often explicitly silly—the organizers publish a constitution, for example, outlining the rights and obligations of participants, declaring the party a "virtual Republic" and banning the use of tuxedos, bow ties, and other formal wear, among many other stipulations. To enter the Republic, you buy a "viza," an entry card with a bar code that flashes your picture on a computer screen for security personnel as you pass by..
Hundreds of DJ's from all over Europe have brought their records to this beach in Crimea for the Kazantip festival, the monthlong summer dance party that attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year. The hordes are mostly young Ukrainians and Russians, with some reinforcements from other former Soviet republics and, to a lesser extent, the rest of Europe. Ten stages have been built right on the beach, all of them surrounded nightly by dancers gyrating and swaying and occasionally falling down.

Laspi Bay.
Laspi Bay is located on the southern coast of the Crimea, not far from Forosa towards Sevastopol. Restricted to Cape Sarych from the east and reserve Ayya - from the west. Conditionally divided into two parts - Laspi and Batiliman.
Even if you never had not previously visited Laspi, you will see in speaking rocky ridges and outline coast elusive something familiar. Do not be surprised, this place is a source of inspiration for many artists.
Private sector in the Bay Laspi not. If you go to rest, it will have to choose between two extremes - the organized recreational (in boarding houses, sanatoriums, houses) or recreational absolutely "wild" (camping).
Batiliman fold so beautifully, but the sea here is so clean that area sanatorium "Batiliman" arranged the whole tent city. This is in spite of some problems with shops and water. In Batilimane no shops and cafes (with the exception of a single bar on the beach sanatorium). The place is very convenient for the rest autotourists (good check-in and eat, where to place the machine).
At Yalta, Sevastopol route, is located above the bay Laspi lookout platform. Opens type - remarkable. If you pass past, we recommend to stop and look.
