The embankment of Feodosia begins in the city center near the railway station and stretches 700 meters to the café Sailor. The embankment is very wide and there are always a lot of people walking here on summer evenings. Kameshki Beach is located along the embankment. It is covered with flat pebbles, which is quite comfortable for swimming, although you have to remember that there is a cargo port nearby. 

At the end of the embankment of Feodosia there are beautiful houses of the 19th century, which are called Dacha Milos, Dacha Villa and Dacha Flora. These are the mansions of rich Feodosian merchants. Near them, the wide embankment ends and you need to go to the opposite side of the railway tracks.  

After that, you can walk even further along Aivazovsky Avenue to the Stamboli Dacha. This neo-Moorish style house was built in the early 20th century by the rich Karaite merchant Joseph Stamboli. Now it houses one of the most interesting museums of Feodosia.  

Feodosia has beaches and resort infrastructure. People walk along the Embankment of Feodosia, but the railway laid along the embankment creates discomfort. It was laid along the seashore in 1892, from the Dzhankoy station to the Feodosiya port. This made it possible to transport cargo from the port, but created problems for the arrangement of beaches and embankments. Approximately the same complexity exists in the city of Derbent, where the railway was built in the 19th century also along the seashore. Now Derbent could develop as a resort, but the railway prevents this.
