Myrnyi

Myrnyi is an urban-type settlement on the Black Sea coast near Yevpatoria in Crimea. The community features residential areas and public facilities spread across flat coastal terrain.

The settlement was founded in 1969 during the Soviet era and received its urban-type classification in 1977. This administrative reorganization reflected Soviet development of the Black Sea region.

The name comes from Russian and Ukrainian roots and carries the meaning of peaceful in both languages.

The area is easily accessible with clear pathways across the flat landscape, making exploration on foot or by bike straightforward. Visitors should prepare for the coastal setting and dress accordingly for sea breezes.

The community emerged as part of a deliberate Soviet plan to develop the Black Sea coast in the 1960s. This planned creation set it apart from older organically grown coastal towns.
