Satanael
Simeiz: the Beach, from above
SEMEIZ (various spellings!) has been a nudist/naturalist colony since the late 19th Century. Chekhov summered here (he was bisexual and nudist, according to Russians & Ukrainians I met), and it has been a popular vacation spot for closeted gays in the Soviet Union from the 1960s on. This idyllic seaside village is a 26-hour train ride from Moscow and 10 hours from Kiev (but its only 2 hours taxi from the SIMFEROPOL Intl Airport: CRIMEA, UKRAINE.)
The sea is amazingly warm and clean (varied seaweeds & fish) at this "wild beach," and its a mixed crowd of cosmopolitan Slavs swimming and sunbathing on these rocks in August. Here, it's CLOTHING-OPTIONAL (nude by choice), obviously.
As you can see from the other photos in the set, its a PERILOUS CLIMB down to this area : you should wear sturdy water shoes!!!!
