Geologist Boarding House for Those Who Love the Soviet Era
A large number of hotels and boarding houses have been built near the lake, some of which were constructed during the Soviet era and are still in operation today. One of them is the "Geologist" boarding house, built back in 1980, located in the settlement of Sary-Oy, previously known as the village of Kurskoye. For 11 years, it welcomed Soviet workers for vacations in a quiet and secluded place, where a large number of trees and oddly shaped bushes grow. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was purchased and slightly modernized, but the territory remains untouched.
Many current tourists in their 30s come here and reminisce about the USSR. The exterior has remained unchanged, just like in those years. The boarding house is located in the northern part of the lake, in the settlement of Sary-Oy. This area is characterized by a milder and warmer climate, low precipitation, as well as a combination of mountain air and fresh healing water.
The Geologist boarding house awaits its regular vacationers and new guests every summer resort season at Lake Issyk-Kul. Everyone, from young to old, who has stayed at this boarding house at least once, notes the presence of a special atmosphere that envelops you while walking through the vast territory shaded by tall pines and slender birches, which ends at a sandy beach by the shore of Issyk-Kul. The Geologist boarding house has springs of thermal and radon water that can be used for water treatments, helping to prevent various diseases, as well as procedures that provide cosmetic effects.
