Саки — старейший бальнеологический курорт на западном побережье степного Крыма в 5 км от берега Чёрного моря. Лечение здесь основано на процедурах с применением собственной минеральной воды и уникальной лечебной грязи, добываемой прямо на месте. В городе можно посетить уникальный курортный парк, которому более 180 лет, а так же совершить покупки в магазинах на рынке или просто погулять по тихому, курортному городку.

Город разделен соленым озером на две части: основную часть и побережье. В основной части расположена вся городская инфраструктура: ж/д и автовокзалы, банки, магазины, несколько санаториев. На побережье же — только санатории и базы отдыха. Центр города — Центральная площадь со статуей Ленина, в 200 м от неё — автовокзал.
