Yevpatoria (Crimea Russia-Ukraine)

Yevpatoriya (port locode UAZKA) is a Black Sea port and city on the Crimean Peninsula, with a population of around 105,000. Since 2014, it has been under the Russian Federation's control as part of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. The other major Russian Crimean ports are Sevastopol, Yalta, Feodosia, and Kerch.

The first settlement (Kerkinitis) was established as a Greek colony around 500 BC. In the 7th- 10th centuries, Eupatoria was ruled by the Khazars, later by the Cumans, Mongols, and the Crimean Khanate (1449-1783, Tatar-Ottoman Turks). In 1783, the entire Crimea was added to the Russian Empire. During the USSR, 78 sanatoriums were built and operated in the city, with a total capacity of 33,000 beds. Among the best-known city attractions are Lake Moynaki, Golden Beach, Juma-Jami Mosque (early 16th century), and Eupatorian Kenassas (early-19th century temple complex).

Yevpatoriya is a major seaport, rail hub, and resort town, which during the summer months is visited by thousands of domestic tourists coming for beach recreation. The city's main industries are commercial fishing, food processing, winemaking, quarrying (limestone), weaving, building materials, manufacturing (machinery, furniture), engineering and electronics, aircraft construction and repair, and tourism.
