"KaZantip" what the heck is that?

It's one month of non-stop music, discos, fun, love, freedom and relaxation in the sun at descent beaches of Crimea, right on the Black Sea. KaZantip republic is one of the biggest, longest and craziest places to be at. It's a place of the most amazing techno, trance and house music produced by hundreds of world- known DJ's coming from all over the world to become a part of this exciting event.

By now it is definitely known that Kazantip 2012 will be held since 20 July 2012 to 26 August 2012. The program, events and dates are to be finalized by March and all the details will be posted here once known.

Where is KaZantip?

KaZantip takes place on the fine sandy beaches of the resort town of Popovka (in Ukrainian spelt as Popivka) in Crimea, Southern Ukraine. The closest big city to Popovka is Evpatoria located 30 kilometers (18 miles) away. Popovka has one of the longest, widest, cleanest and most beautiful sandy beaches on the whole Crimean Coast. It is also known due to the most beautiful sunsets on the Black Sea. The sea water has a low salt content and is very mild here.

There are different means of transportation that can get you here.

If you are a lucky holder of a US passport or European Union passport, then you do not need a visa to enter Ukraine. All you need to do is to purchase your ticket to Simferopol, which is the capital city of Crimea. We recommend that you book round-trip tickets in advance. First, the sooner you book, the more you save. Also, please be advised that there are plenty of people who travel to Crimea during the summer season, and tickets may be a little scarce.

The Simferopol International Airport is the only one in Crimea. In summer, there are direct connections with Frankfurt, Istanbul, Moscow but the majority fly to Simferopol via Kiev. The final part of the journey is a 100 km ride from the airport to Popovka. The most hassle-free and easy way is of course to take a taxi costing about $70.00 US. The trip by bus or by train takes extra 2^1/2 hours. The bus leaves from the Train & Bus Station (some 15 km away from the airport) and goes to Mirnyi, which is a small town nearby to Popovka, while the train requires changing in Evpatoria: you would need to take a bus or a taxi there.

Another option is to hire a car and drive yourself to KaZantip and around Crimea that will enrich your travel experience. Traveling by car will make your life a little easier if you have a map of Crimea or GPS navigation unit.

Special viZa for KaZantip - what is that?

The "Republic of KaZantip" is not really a separate country, but visiting here requires "Special ViZa", which is a sort of entrance ticket. By buying this viZa, you automatically become an official resident of the Republic of KaZantip. This viZa is issued at the ViZa Department. They will take a picture of you and put your information in database of the citizens of the Republic of KaZantip. You will receive the plastic card with your name and bar code on it. It is personal, which means that only you can buy a viZa for yourself and no one is allowed to use your viZa except you.

There are two types of viZas. One-Time viZa gives you the right to enter the Republic of KaZantip once. With this One-Time viZa, you may cross the border of the Republic of Kazantip, breathing the air of freedom. Actually you can stay inside for a long time with your One-Time ViZa, as long as you don't cross the border of KaZantip. Multi-pass ViZas are valid for the whole season and give you the right to enter and leave the "The Republic" as often as you wish.

The approximate price for One-Time viZa is $100 US. A Multi-pass ViZa costs appr. $200 US. Obviously it makes sense to buy a Multi-pass ViZa if you stay at KaZantip for more than two days. If you intend to attend KaZantip on the opening day, we advise to come a day earlier, so that you can get your viZa on the day before and avoid the long lines.

Once the terminal scans the bar code of your viZa, you are ready to rock and roll! You will meet friends you have not seen for the whole year. You can lie on the beach, meet a special girl, swim in the warm sea, enjoy drinking in the local bars, and even talk to the PreZident. You will see the beautiful sunset, and hear well-known DJs... Only the beginning though! So much awaits you! Be careful, however, otherwise you might lose your money, passport, sun glasses, phone, underwear as well as your head and mind.

IMPORTANT!:
New viZa application procedure was introduced by the KaZantip viZa Department last year. Unlike the previous years, now you have to go though the online pre-registration process first, otherwise you cannot get your viZa. You are required to fill out the registration form online prior to purchasing a viZa from the viZa Department. Once your application is approved, you will be notified by e-mail. We strongly encourage you to read the instruction set out on the official web-site of KaZantip and take care of your viZa in due course.
