We reach Eupatoria on our last breath and with almost empty water bottles. No one wants to put us up for 2 nights – a temporary disappointment. We ring the doorbell at yet another gate. A man walks out and offers us accommodation for UAH 40 per person. We thank fortune for meeting on our route such people as Mr. Anatoliy. Eupatoria along with Saky are renowned as the biggest Crimean health resorts, offering mineral springs and therapeutic mud. Shaded and clean streets, paved with cobbles or stones, with suitable stylish lighting. Eupatoria is the only Crimean city in which there are trams (other cities have trolleybuses). Another distinctive feature is the single tramway track which splits into a double track only at tram stops, so that trams can pass each other! There are many places worth seeing in this town but two of them are a must: St. Nicholas Cathedral – the biggest Orthodox church in Crimea, built in 1893 as a votive offering for success in the Crimean War. It has got a well-preserved, lavish interior. The other attraction is a number of Karaite Kenesas (synagogues) built between 1804 and 1818. The entrance fee is UAH 7.5 per person – it is worth it! The Great Kenesa is being renovated, and the Small Kenesa is the only one functioning in Crimea. A one hundred-year-old grapevine, a lapidarium, a sundial, fragment of a cemetery, prayers engraved in walls, columns by the monument of Tsar Alexander – all these things lend irresistible charm to this place. After supper the host tells us that this is the first time he has met cycle tourists and that we are "brave fellows". We smiled casually and said: "it is no big deal, you just pedal and go". However, it cannot be denied that we are flattered by such compliments and they motivate us to continue cycling.
