May Yalta is filled with the smell of fresh greenery, sea salt and a premonition of the inevitably approaching hot season. At the end of spring, the most impatient vacationers are already opening the swimming season, although the sea water at this time can still be cool. But nevertheless, in early May, the resort city loudly announces the opening of the tourist season, and does it every year in a new way, preparing original surprises for visitors.
The first decade of May becomes the most eventful, when several holidays come together at once. This is May Day, which coincides with the opening of the season, and Victory Day, which attracts many tourists. A long weekend is a great opportunity to get acquainted with the sights of the Crimea, visit the sea and relax even before the start of the official holiday season.
From the first days of May, a whole marathon of concerts begins in Yalta, which are held on the embankment. Artists from Crimea and Russia take part in them. Also these days it will be interesting for both children and adults to visit the museum under open air"Glade of fairy tales", where guests will be greeted fairy-tale heroes favorite animated series, contests and shows will be held. Many events are designed specifically for the younger audience; discos, soap bubble parties, games with prizes and many surprises are organized for children.
Jazz fans will be able to visit Jaliton, a music festival that brings together famous jazz bands and performers from all over the peninsula, as well as different corners Russia. The festival gathers about two hundred participants annually, tens of times more visitors come.
Yalta is my favorite city in Crimea. It is considered a resort, and tourist season lasts from June to September, but at any time of the year I have a great rest here and find something to my liking.
May is a good time to relax in Yalta:
- the sun does not bake yet, there is no sweltering heat, it is warm. I go hiking in the mountains with a tent and enjoy the beauty of nature;
- there are few tourists, there are no queues, you can get on all the planned excursions;
- It is convenient to take pictures, no stranger constantly interferes in the frame;
- the prices are reasonable, there is still no excitement among vacationers, it is easy to rent housing.
But the sea is cold and you won't be able to swim. Water temperature - +13 ° С. But you can wander around the heated pebbles, sunbathe, take a walk along the coast.
At the end of May last year I was lucky enough to swim. The temperature during the day during the week reached + 20 ° С, the sea quickly warmed up, and I had a chance to open the swimming season.
For walks in May, the most optimal weather conditions. Little precipitation falls, it gets dark late, and the thermometer approaches +18 ° C during the day. It's time for hiking and the conquest of the Ai-Petri peak. You can visit the Uchan-Su waterfall before it dries up from the heat. But at nights it is still cool - 12 ° С. Long sleeves, sneakers, windbreaker will come in handy.
May Yalta air is light, fresh, filled with aromas of flowering trees and flowers. I returned from rest full of strength and energy.
In the evening, I advise you to walk along the embankment and breathe in the sea air. There are many attractions in the city: palaces, parks, the Botanical Garden, the zoo, the Glade of Fairy Tales Museum.
It will be interesting for children to visit the dolphinarium and the water area. They show performances of marine animals. Instead of lying on the beach uselessly, I tasted all the corners of Yalta.

At the end of spring, our compatriots, in search of warmth, gladly go to the Crimean peninsula in sunny Yalta, where at this time roses are already blooming and the lilac inflorescences of wisteria emit an aroma. But those who come with the intention of swimming in the sea will be disappointed - the water is still cool. Yalta in May will appeal to those who crave sea air and walks.
Weather in Yalta in May and May holidays
The closer to summer, the warmer it gets in Yalta. Although the daily air temperature fluctuates around +18 degrees, warming up to +25 degrees is more and more often recorded. However, it is only during the day that you can walk without outerwear, and with the onset of twilight at +12 in a T-shirt or shirt, you will no longer get warm.
Long-term experience indicates that, unlike the steppe area of Crimea, spring comes to Yalta with a delay. In the last days of May, it is warm in summer, not only in the daytime, but also in the dark.
It is worth going to the sea not to splash in water, warmed up to only +15, but to soak up in a swimsuit in the rays of the friendly sun.

On some days, the sky is still gloomy, and rain is pouring from gray clouds.

Yalta's cold sea water is the only deterrent to the opening of the swimming season. Although it must be admitted, not everyone is stopped by this - individual brave men still do not deny themselves the pleasure of plunging into invigorating water and even swimming to the envy of other onlookers.
