Yedi Kuyu, Administrative settlement in Lenine Raion of Crimea.
Yedi Kuyu is an urban-type settlement located on the Kerch Peninsula in eastern Crimea. The place functions as an administrative center and has railway connections serving the surrounding area.
The settlement was founded around 1899 near a railway station. In 1957 it gained urban-type settlement status and received a new name during this period of administrative reorganization.
The place carries its original name Yedi Kuyu, meaning seven wells in the Crimean Tatar language. This name reflects the historical connection to the region's indigenous people.
The place is accessible by train and offers basic services for travelers passing through or staying. The warmer months provide the most pleasant conditions for exploring the area.
Although Ukrainian authorities officially restored the original name in 2016, different administrations still use varying names for the place. This naming inconsistency reflects the region's complicated administrative history.
