Well-maintained beaches, excellent infrastructure, and local attractions make Bosteri one of the best places for relaxation. Additionally, there are various shops, grocery stores, and a market.
As you approach the village, you can see its main attraction – a giant Ferris wheel. This attraction allows you to rise above all the nearby sanatoriums, guesthouses, and beaches, where hundreds of people are relaxing, while simultaneously enjoying the beauty of the Kyrgyz mountains covered with eternal snow, and peering over the smooth surface of Lake Issyk-Kul, where the snowy peaks also sparkle on the opposite shore. The Ferris wheel makes a complete turn in almost half an hour. An incredibly beautiful view of the surrounding landscapes opens up from the height of the Ferris wheel, which is located close to the water's edge.
In addition to the large Ferris wheel, Bosteri features the most modern water park on the entire shore of Lake Issyk-Kul. Here you can find roller coasters, boat rides on the lake, and in the evenings, lively beach parties are organized.
It is considered that the most popular guesthouse among young people is "Golden Sands," which houses the famous water park.
Next to the guesthouses is one of the largest health resorts in the republic, "Kyrgyz Seaside." Favorable living conditions, comfort, a combination of traditional and modern treatment methods, the latest equipment, and high-quality service attract residents from different regions of the republic.
