An integral part of the Republic of Crimea, Saki city in Crimea is located in the centre of the Sakskogo area of Crimea. Saki is one among the eleven cities of republican subordination. Saki is situated about four to five kilometers away from the Black Sea, in the West Coast of Crimea. Located about 45 kilometers away from the Crimean capital city, Simeforol, Saki houses the oldest mud resorts in the region.
Widely acclaimed for resorts, it is considered as the oldest spa resort of Crimea. The climatic condition of Saki is similar to that of Eupatoria. The city has a dry climate with mild winters to its credit. This elusive and unique city is privileged with the presence of exquisite beaches, sand dunes and salty winds. The regime of the Crimean Khanate witnesses Saki, then a village ruled by a Crimean King, Mansour.
Saki played a prominent role in housing the coalition forces during the siege of Sevastopol that occurred in the Crimean War. Around 1855, the village was almost completely annihilated by the German troops. It was gradually rebuilt again. In 1858, migrants from Poltava province settled and later the Greeks from Constantinople settled in Saki. Despite these records of the settlers, early account of the first settlers of Saki is still ambiguous. These accounts do not state exactly, the identity of the first settlers.

The population also consists of 25% of Ukrainians and 6.5% of Tatars and Belarusians. The Armenians, Greeks, Jews, Poles, Crimeans and Karaites constitute a mere 2% of the total population.
The Climate Of Crimea On The Black Sea
If you are looking to take a fun vacation to an area of the world that has great weather, then you need to head toward Crimea. This is an area that has great summers, which makes it a great getaway spot for people all over the world. In fact, they say that Crimea has temperatures that are much like those of France and Portugal, because it lays much on the same latitude as these two places do. I have been to many great places that are great for vacationing, but none of them have been in a place that is as nice as Crimea. It is located right on the Black Sea, which also helps add to its appeal to many people.
If you are trying to get a good understanding of how the temperature in Crimea feels, you need to think of a city like Venice. In fact, the cities, Venice and Crimea, are on the same latitude, which means that they have about the same temperatures. So you may be saying that it would be just as nice to go to Venice during the summer as it would be to Crimea. However, this would be wrong, and that is because of the Black Sea. Crimea has two different types of seasons, the hot season and the cool season. During the summer you, of course, have the hot season, and much like Venice, it can become very hot. However, unlike Venice the humidity never gets as high as Venice and other places in Greece and Turkey. This is because the Black Sea gives it a fresh breeze that keeps almost the whole area cool. This keeps the temperature warm, but not uncomfortably cool.
Whenever you are thinking of coming down to see Crimea climate for yourself, you should come down between the months of May and October. This is when most of the swimming temperatures come about. After all, if you are going to go all the way to Crimea, you might as well go during the time when you can swim. The rainfall in this area is never very high. In fact, sometimes they can get as little as one inch of rainfall per month. This keeps the skies looking pretty good during the hot season. However, when the temperatures cool down you start to see a little bit more rainfall. In fact, during the winter you can see the rainfall jump from about one inch to three inches a month. The resorts around this area are great and a must for people that are planning to spend the weekend here in Crimea. Nothing beats going to a resort on the Black sea, and I mean nothing.
