Russian coast of the Black Sea until March 2014, it had a length from northwest to southeast of about 480 kilometers, starting from the port of Kavkaz on the Taman Peninsula and to the mouth of the Psou River on the border with Abkhazia. The section from Tuapse to the border with Abkhazia is usually called the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. This section continues through the Abkhazian territory. In March 2014, after the all-Crimean referendum, the territory of the Crimean peninsula became part of Russia. The length of the Black Sea coast of Russia increased and became from the mouth of the Psou River to the Isthmus of Perekop. Thus, today the length of the coastline is about 1200 kilometers, second only to Turkey in length.

Vegetable world

Go to description flora coastal strip of the Black Sea within Russia. Almost the entire coast from the north is closed by the mountains of the Greater Caucasus Range. The mountains are covered with oak, beech, spruce forests. Chestnut, fir, yew, sycamore, cypress are also widespread among the trees. There are rare species of trees - pistachio, laurel cherry. To the south of Tuapse, palm trees, acacias, magnolias, and junipers grow in the subtropical zone. One of the relic species is the Colchis boxwood, which grows in the subtropical zone of the Russian Black Sea region, from Tuapse to Adler. Grapes, persimmons, peaches, apricots grow almost everywhere. Oranges, tangerines, lemons and pomegranates grow in the region of Adler and Sochi.

If you look at the change of vegetation depending on the height above sea level, then the general picture is as follows: at altitudes up to about 600 meters above sea level, there are plantings of pears, apple trees, cherry plums, red maple, walnuts. If you climb higher mountains, then starting from a height of 600 meters and up to about 1200 meters, the vegetation is already changing, beech, sycamore, and Caucasian fir grow there. At altitudes up to 2000 meters, the vegetation is already entirely coniferous - forests of Caucasian spruce and fir predominate. Above 2000 meters birch and mountain ash grow. On the Black Sea coast, in broad-leaved forests, even reindeer moss is found - a typical northern plant, the range of which is considered to be tundra and forests of the Far North! As we can see, the natural diversity of species growing in the Caucasus - from the northern reindeer moss to the African palm - is very large!

On the southern coast of Crimea there is a Mediterranean climate zone. In the mountains of Crimea, there are a large number of trees of different types: oak, beech, pine, linden, alder, autumn, mountain ash, elm, willow, hornbeam, poplar, birch, cypress, almond, acacia, cedar, walnut, spruce, fir, chestnut, eucalyptus.

So, in the Crimean mountains you can find chicory, calendula, aster, dandelion, cornflower, elecampane, wormwood, thistle, succession, burdock, yarrow, sow thistle, chamomile, feather grass, lupine, sage, motherwort.

Animal world

Let's continue our review of the region with a description of the animal world. Of the large predatory animals in the mountains near the coast, the Caucasian bear lives, which is smaller in size than the brown bear.

A rare but dangerous predator is the lynx. Lynx attacks roe deer, small deer, chamois. Very often she waits for her prey, sitting on a tree.

There is a wild cat in the forest. It looks like a domestic cat, but larger in size. Wild cats prey on small rodents.

One of the most beautiful animals is the Caucasian red deer. This is a large, slender and graceful animal. Male deer wear huge branched antlers.

Wild boars are a very common species of large predatory mammals in the Caucasus. In the mountains they are found almost everywhere, especially in beech forests and near mountain rivers.

In the mountains of Crimea, there are Crimean red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, wild boar, fox, badger. Of the birds, there are jays, woodpeckers, blackbirds, owls, black-headed vultures, swans, herons, cranes.

Of the snakes in the coastal area, there are snakes, copperheads and vipers. Copperhead and viper are poisonous, when meeting with them, you need to be careful not to tease these reptiles. Of the other reptiles, turtles are found in large numbers.

From the family of fish, trout lives in mountain rivers, so fishing on a mountain river will be an interesting activity.

Of the large insects in the forests and glades, there is a huge number of butterflies. There are wild bees and wasps. You need to be especially careful if you meet a spider. In the Caucasus, there are two types of spiders that are poisonous to humans - tarantula and karakurt. Tarantula is a large furry spider that lives in minks. The bite of a tarantula leads to the appearance of a huge ulcer on the skin, after a bite, you should immediately seek help from a doctor. The bite is not fatal, but painful.

The bite of a karakurt in some cases can be fatal if the spider has bitten a person with cardiovascular diseases. Karakurt is a small black spider with red dots on its back (or without them) that likes to settle in wastelands, near salt marshes and in summer cottages. The bite of a karakurt leads to paralysis nervous system therefore, without hospitalization of the bitten, recovery is out of the question. A bite of a karakurt resembles a small pinprick, after an hour hallucinations, nausea appear, pressure rises, breathing and urination become difficult. Without medical assistance, death occurs in 1-2 days. Therefore, you can not touch and approach these spiders. The karakurt will never attack first, only if its nest is disturbed or accidentally pressed.

There are a huge number of birds in the Caucasus. In the foothills there is a starling, an oriole, a nightingale, a green woodpecker, among birds of prey - a hawk and a mountain eagle. Siskin, crow, swallow, blackbird nest high in the mountains. The most common birds in the Russian Caucasus are the crow, jay, titmouse, woodpecker, swift, cuckoo, dove, quail, gray partridge.

Undersea world

Go to description under water world Black Sea near the Russian coast.

Dolphins, katrans sharks are found on the Russian coast of the Black Sea (they do not pose any danger to humans at all). The danger is represented by a sea cat and a sea dragon. A sea cat is a stingray that lives at the bottom of the sea and sometimes swims in shallow water. The danger is his tail with a poisonous spike. The stingray thrusts its tail into the victim with force. In case of a bite, it is necessary to urgently seek help from a medical facility, the stingray venom is very poisonous. No less poisonous is the sea dragon fish. Fatal cases are known after being bitten by this small fish. But in general, these poisonous predators prefer to stay away from the crowded beaches in the resorts. Therefore, a meeting with them can occur only in areas not equipped for swimming or in deserted places.

Of the other fish, goby, mullet and flounder are found in large quantities, which are of commercial importance. In the Black Sea, in the region of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, there are several species of jellyfish that swim ashore at high tide.

Climate

In conclusion, I would like to single out the climatic zones in which the Black Sea coast of Russia is located - this is the temperate maritime climate zone, the Mediterranean climate zone and the subtropical humid climate zone.

On the coastline from the Taman Peninsula to Anapa, a temperate maritime climate prevails, from Anapa to Tuapse and the Crimean coast - a Mediterranean climate, from Tuapse to the border with Abkhazia - a subtropical climate. Such a variety of climatic zones on a small stretch of the coast determines the diversity of the flora, fauna and underwater world of the Russian Black Sea region.

Black Sea - the best place For beach holiday in Russia, especially since Crimea became easily accessible. In this article, we will look at the best Black Sea resorts and see why they are so good.

Sochi

Sochi is the main resort city of the Black Sea coast. It is part of the Greater Sochi zone, which includes a number of good resorts and stretches all the way to Abkhazia. Its main feature is a developed tourist infrastructure. By the way, Krasnaya Polyana, a popular winter tourism center, is located in Greater Sochi.

Sochi itself is popular mainly because of the developed tourist infrastructure. It has built many entertainment centers, museums, zoos, water parks, amusement parks and sports grounds.

After the Olympics, everything is in order with the sport. A wonderful skate park has been opened on Ostrovsky Square, and a sports town has been built in the Riviera. There are also many opportunities for active entertainment around the city - hiking and horseback riding, rock climbing, rafting along the Mzymta and much more.

But mostly people come here for a beach holiday, although the beaches here are not particularly luxurious. The equipped ones are usually paid, belong to hotels, but there are also public and wild coasts.

And there are a lot of hotels, sanatoriums, health resorts and other places where you can have a good rest and improve your health.

Reviews about this city are mostly positive - the rating on review sites is kept in the range of 4-4.5 points. Tourists are attracted sunny weather, sea, numerous entertainments and hotels. Also, many note the cleanliness, hospitality local residents and very beautiful nature. It is good here both with children and just adults vacationing.

There are also negative reviews - mostly about a large number of people and high prices. Some talk about dirt, but this information is not confirmed by the photo, so it is unlikely that it is reliable. There are those who do not like too hot climate.

Gelendzhik

It is not only one of the best resorts Russia on the Black Sea, but also the center of the region, which includes Divnomorskoye, Kabardinka and other popular places.

Of the sights of attention are numerous museums, Gebeds waterfalls, Kastalskaya font. In Kabardinka, in the Old Park, there are small copies of buildings of different styles and eras.

Have fun on the rides Central Park and in the water parks Zolotaya Buhta and Begemot. Thrill-seekers will enjoy the Safari Park, and lovers of the water world - in the Oceanarium and Dolphinarium.

The main thing in Gelendzhik is the beaches. The city has a sandy beach, all the rest are small pebbles. In Kabardinka there are both pebble and sandy beaches suitable for family vacation with kids. In Dzhanhot and Divnomorsky too nice coast, but exclusively pebbly.

The reviews are good, but tourists immediately note that the sea in the resort is dirty, and the prices are very high. Other than that everything is great... interesting entertainment, beautiful nature, interesting sights. True, it can be boring with children, but adults can definitely have a good time.

Adler

Adler is considered part of Greater Sochi, but we decided to talk about it separately, as it deserves attention. A resort in the very south of the zone, with a huge amount of entertainment, cafes, nightclubs, etc. This is accompanied by beautiful nature and, of course, the sea. The beaches are mostly pebbly, the entrance is smooth, so you can relax with children. The main advantage is the clean coast and water. Even on the municipal and free shores there is infrastructure, from sun loungers to entertainment in the form of riding on water on various boats.

There are also sights - for example, the Mzymta River, Botanical Garden, dolphinarium and water park Amphibius.

Reviews are contradictory - almost everyone likes the sea and beaches, but Adler itself seems noisy, dirty and gassed even to picky tourists. It is inconveniently organized. public transport quite boring and not much entertainment. As elsewhere in the Krasnodar Territory, prices are very high. But purely for a beach holiday, the place is quite good - the main thing is better to choose a hotel.

Anapa

Anapa is a famous resort, mainly because of the low prices. It has a pleasant and mild climate, sandy and pebble beaches, and many mineral springs for treatment. Usually families with children, lovers and young people come here. It is good for children here thanks to the developed infrastructure and safe descent into the sea.

There are also interesting sightseeing places - Abrau-Dyurso wineries, the African village, the Sukko Valley, the historical show "Rome", the Lago-Naki plateau, the Shapsug paranormal area, etc.

Reviews are different - the sea and sand are good, but the infrastructure is not very developed. Tourists do not like inconvenient transport, bad shops and a huge number of tourists. Service in hotels is often terrible, and there is evidence of this, so it is better to choose a place to stay very carefully. But for saving and relaxing purely on the beach and in the sea, the place is quite suitable.

Yalta

Yalta is the main resort of Crimea. The beaches here are different, there are municipal ones with rental of umbrellas and sunbeds, there are also paid VIP zones. Most Popular Central Beach and Massandrovy beach, a lot of people, but there is entertainment for every taste.

Of the interesting sights, one can name the Armenian Church, the Roffe baths, the Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, the city cable car, Church of St. John Chrysostom and the city embankment.

You can have fun in cafes and restaurants, city attractions and casinos. And in mid-August, the city day is held here, and it is celebrated very cheerfully.

Reviews of Yalta are almost entirely positive - people note clean air, warm sea, excellent beaches and beautiful nature from the merits. The city is pleasant, accommodation is not too expensive and the mountains are really amazing.

Of the negative points, rather high prices for entertainment and food, as well as a large number of people, are noted. There are also scams.

Feodosia

Feodosia is one of the best Black Sea resorts located in Crimea. It attracts tourists with its developed infrastructure and pleasant climate, as well as a huge number of healing springs and deposits of mineral mud.

The beach here stretches for 17 kilometers. The most popular place is Kameshki, ideally equipped for comfortable rest. There are many cafes and eateries on the waterfront, there are entertainment centers Lunapark and Africa. A little to the north is the Children's Beach with warm water and a gentle entrance to the water.

But the main advantage of Feodosia is its sanatoriums and boarding houses, where, thanks to mineral waters, mud and clean air, they treat a whole group of diseases.

Tourists love this resort precisely for the clear sea, golden sands, pleasant weather and fairly low prices. Especially often families with children and the elderly come here to improve their health. Some do not like the city itself - it seems neglected and a little confusing, with not very developed infrastructure. Sometimes the water is cold, but this is rather an exception. The number of people in different reviews is different, someone gets to the peak, and to someone the beaches seem deserted.

Evpatoria

Evpatoria is ancient city in the Crimea, whose history begins with the Greek Kerkinitida. Now it is one of the best resorts in Russia on the Black Sea, which attracts tourists with sandy beaches. Mostly they are paid, but there are public ones, for example, new beach or Central Park Beach. It is New that is liked by locals and tourists - it is suitable for families with children, and for large companies. By the way, paid ones are not very expensive - only 20-30 rubles per person, while the infrastructure is better. Pay attention to the boarding house "Planet" and "Magnat". There is also a nudist zone, "Sunny Paradise".

This is not only a beach, but also an excellent balneological resort. There are mud baths, estuaries and a unique climate that combines elements of dry steppe and humid sea. They treat here comprehensively, not forgetting about physiotherapy and physical education.

Tourists mostly like it here, especially the clean sea and beaches, but the service cannot be called good, especially if you focus on European resorts. Guests of the city do not like artificially high prices. The city itself seems dirty to some. But almost no one gets bored here.

Tuapse

Unlike other Black Sea cities, Tuapse is not only touristic, but also industrial. Its zone includes such settlements as Agoy, Dzhugba, Novomikhailovsky, Lermontovo, Nebug and a number of others.

The beaches here are mostly free, umbrellas and sun loungers are rented. They are small pebbles, in some places there are sandy ones, for example, Orlenka in Lermontovo. In Tuapse itself, the Central and Primorsky are the most popular.

There are many entertainments around the beaches, there are amusement parks, cafes and restaurants. In the villages, sanatoriums and boarding houses are open, where they are engaged in mud therapy, exercise therapy and massage.

And there is also very beautiful nature - a lot of forests and subtropical gardens.

On review sites, Tuapse has a rating of four. The city itself is quite pleasant, but one feels that it is industrial - it is better to choose villages and relax there. The beaches are not very clean, but the nature is beautiful, and the prices are quite affordable. In general, as elsewhere, there are pros and cons.

Alushta

This city on the southern coast of Crimea is well protected from cold winds, so it is always warm here. And low humidity and constant sun add to its advantages even against the background of other Black Sea resorts.

There are also attractions here - vineyards and beautiful nature, but mostly tourists are attracted by beaches. Most often they are private, belong to boarding houses. Municipal paid, you will have to pay 100-150 rubles for the entrance. The main beach areas are located in the Professor's Corner.

Alushta is also ideal for treatment - climatotherapy, mineral water and mud therapy are available here.

The resort towns of Russia are very popular vacation spots for many residents of our country in the summer. And this is not surprising - the prices here are moderate, and the impressions from the trip are always positive.

From the border with Abkhazia begins the Black Sea coast of Russia. The first major resort is Greater Sochi, which includes several districts. Its infrastructure has improved significantly in recent years: many new modern hotels were built for the 2014 Olympic Games.

Adler district

This area is suitable for holidays with older children, as well as for young people. Basically, here you will be met by pebble comfortable beaches. In addition, in the villages there are many entertainments for young tourists. For young people there are nightclubs and numerous bars.

Khostinsky district

As you continue along the coast, you will find the following resort villages related to the Khostinsky district: Khosta, Zvezdochka, Matsesta, Kudepsta, Small Akhun. These places are perfect for relaxing for people of respectable age who prefer a measured, relaxing holiday. Many sanatoriums have been established in this region, where various diseases are treated with the help of mineral waters. Khosta is therefore considered a good balneological resort.

Sochi city

Describing the resort cities of Russia, first of all, we should talk about Sochi, which belongs to the Central District. Rest here will be interesting, active and varied: the city promises many opportunities. Especially it will appeal to young people who love crowded places. Elderly people and families with small children may be somewhat uncomfortable among the constant noise and crowds of vacationers. Do not forget that in Sochi the prices for accommodation and services are much higher than in small towns.

This city is the warmest among other resorts in Russia. You can visit many climatic zones within it: in the subtropics, tropics, and the arctic zone. Stormy mountain streams, endless caves, famous ski slopes attract many tourists here. There is a huge variety of hotels in Sochi, both quite old and completely new, not inferior in service to large hotels.

Lazarevsky district

The coast of Greater Sochi ends with the Lazarevsky district. Here rest is cheaper than in Central. You can choose from crowded villages, such as Lazarevskoye, where there is entertainment for vacationers of all ages, or quieter ones, such as Glubokaya Shchel. Holidays in this area, as you can see, are suitable for everyone. Unless it will not be very comfortable for small children to relax due to the fact that the beaches here are pebbly.

Tuapse district

The Tuapse district begins beyond the Greater Sochi. Its center is Tuapse. In this area, compared to neighboring Gelendzhik and Sochi, the infrastructure is less developed. The choice of hotels here is smaller (especially large ones), but the prices will please you more than in neighboring cities.

City of Tuapse

Describing the resort towns of Russia, Tuapse is often mentioned. However, this is not entirely true. The fact is that Tuapse is an industrial port city. It does not have resort status. Therefore, vacationers mainly settle in the villages surrounding it, which are located in the bays: in Dzhubga, Gizel-Der, Novomikhailovsky, Nebug, Shepsi, Olginka and others. Holidays in this area will be remembered by lovers beautiful scenery, wishing to save money and not suffering due to the lack of some amenities.

Tuapse is known for its mountain forests, which occupy about 80% of its entire territory. It is also rich in canyons, waterfalls, mountain landscapes. Here you will find many natural monuments included in the excursion programs.

Big Gelendzhik

City of Gelendzhik

Novorossiysk

Bolshoi Gelendzhik is followed by the coast of Novorossiysk. This city is a port and a major industrial center, and for resort holiday he is unsuitable.

Big Anapa

What other resort cities of Russia are there on the Black Sea? Its coast, belonging to the territory of the Krasnodar Territory, ends with Big Anapa. It combines the city of the same name and the villages of Sukko, Vityazevo, Dzhemete, Bolshoi Utrish, as well as the village of Blagoveshchenskaya.

Anapa city

Anapa is considered to be a predominantly children's resort. It is surrounded by sandy beaches, and the entrance to the sea is very gentle. There is a pebbly bottom only in the villages of Bolshoi Utrish and Sukko, so these places are usually chosen for their vacation by adults, as well as families with older children.

In the vicinity of Anapa, as well as in the city itself, there are many health resorts that specialize in serving young guests. There are amusement parks and water parks. On the coast, the adult public will also not be bored: this place offers tourists entertainment for every taste. You can combine relaxation with treatment, because Anapa is also a balneological resort, like some other resort cities in Russia. On the sea you can not only have a good rest, but also improve your health. Healing mud extracted from estuaries, as well as local mineral water used to treat guests. And here you will find a wonderful water park. The climate in the city is of the Mediterranean type, it is both warm and humid.

the south coast of Crimea

Many tourists flock today to the southern coast of Crimea - this is the name of the coast from Big Yalta to Big Alushta. These places are closed by a mountain range from the northern winds, so a special climate has been established here, similar in characteristics to the Mediterranean. The area offers tourists a wide range of entertainment and hotels. It also has a very interesting nightlife. All this leads to the fact that prices for services remain high.

Big Yalta

Big Yalta is the largest resort in this area. It unites several towns and cities: Alupka, Livadia, Gurzuf, Koreiz, Gaspra, Simeiz, Miskhor, Parkovoe, Massandra, Foros and others.

City of Yalta

More recently, with the annexation of Crimea to our country, new resort towns of Russia appeared on the map. Their list includes Yalta. It is worth staying here for those who especially love nightlife, entertainment and is ready to be among people all the time and give a lot of money for it. If you are traveling with small children, you should prefer a small village or choose another coast, since in Yalta and around the city all the beaches are pebbly, and the depth increases rather quickly.

Big Alushta

Big Alushta is a good option for those who want to relax on the South Coast, but do not want to overpay significantly. Its coast stretches from Privetnoye to Partenit. Yalta and Alushta are included in the list of "The best resort cities in Russia". Here you will find many attractions, discos, restaurants and other entertainment. Basically, the beaches here are made of shale sand, occasionally fine gravel is found, and the depth increases quite quickly.

Western coast of Crimea: Sevastopol, Saki, Evpatoria

We have not yet described all the resort towns of Russia on the sea. The list should be supplemented with Sevastopol, Sakami, Evpatoria, Feodosia and Sudak. The first three cities are located on the west coast. They are known for shallow seas and sandy beaches.

In the west of Crimea is Sevastopol - another large seaport. In it, unlike Novorossiysk, there are many convenient beaches.

This city should be chosen by those who are interested, in addition to a beach holiday, historical sights, museums. It is impossible not to mention Saki and Evpatoria. These are also popular Russian resort towns on the Black Sea. The list of balneological resorts can be supplemented with them.

Big Feodosia

There are several popular holiday destinations on the southeastern coast of Crimea. The largest is Bolshaya Feodosiya. The city of Feodosia should be chosen by those who want to have a noisy and fun holiday. In addition, it is a balneological resort, where you will find many health resorts offering mineral water treatments.

If you are traveling with small children and decide to stay in Bolshaya Feodosia, it is better to choose the villages of Primorsky and Beregovoe. They are known for their shell-covered beaches.

If you like long walks, as well as the work of Maximilian Voloshin, you should definitely book accommodation in Kurortny, Koktebel or Ordzhonikidze. These are large settlements, also related to Great Feodosia. They are located at the foot of Karadag, a huge ancient volcano.

The city of Sudak and the village of Novy Svet

The city of Sudak is located between Big Alushta and Big Feodosia. It is known for the Genoese fortress dating back to the Middle Ages. Village New World adjoins it. These places are very popular among connoisseurs of landscapes: because of the beautiful landscapes, the surroundings of the village have been repeatedly used as scenery for filming various films. Another attractive factor is the factory of sparkling wines located here - the place where the drink "New World" is produced. Pebbly beaches and sometimes difficult access to the sea are the reasons why this area is not so popular among tourists with children.

So, we talked about what resort cities in Russia exist. Photos and descriptions will help you make the right choice. Each of them is interesting in its own way. Both large and small resort towns of Russia on the Black Sea offer good service, equipped beaches and a lot of entertainment - everything you need for a great holiday.

Villages on the shores of the Black Sea

It is difficult to enumerate all the settlements on the Russian Black Sea coast. After all coastline only from Adler to Taman it stretches for almost four hundred kilometers. Add here who came under the auspices Russian Federation Crimea with its beaches of three hundred and fifty kilometers, and the result will be quite impressive. Greater Sochi has eighteen kilometers of coast, the same Anapa has almost seventy, while forty kilometers of them are sandy with magnificent dunes, like in a desert, besides, in places with dense vegetation that gives shade, which is especially important in hot weather.

About fifteen million people rest and receive treatment on our Black Sea every year. A tenth of them are guests from near and far abroad. There are also positive prospects. For example, by 2020, the number of holiday-goers who will be admitted to sanatorium-type health resorts is expected to increase fivefold. The general flow of Russians and guests from abroad, wishing to have a rest near our coasts, will also increase significantly.

Of course, a solid part of the tourists visiting us prefers resort cities - Sochi, Gelendzhik, Anapa, Yalta, and so on and so forth in order. They have more comfort for life, treatment and pastime. So to say - quite European service. But you have to pay for all this luxury. And, not small money. But for the most part, our fellow citizens today are not very wealthy. Especially during a crisis. Therefore, they are looking for places that are cheaper for their rest and treatment. And these are small villages. And even if there are fewer blessings of civilization in them - anyway, they are located by the sea, prod by the bright sun, and tourists even win in them - they live away from the noise of the city and closer to mother nature.

Actually, each Black Sea All-Russian health resort includes settlements in its municipality. At Greater Sochi, these are Magri, Ashe, Vishnevka, Soloniki, Golovinka, Vardane, Dagomys, Loo and others. Near Gelendzhik - Kabardinka, Divnomorskoye, Dzhankhot, Krinitsa, Betta, Arkhipo-Osipovkak, At Anapa - Vityazevo, Sukko, Bolshoi Utrish, Blagoveshchenskaya and others. In the Tuapse region - Bzhid, Dzhubga, Lermontovo, Novomikhailovskoye and so on. Many villages are located off the coast of Crimea - Kurortnoye, Shtormovoe, Popovka, Mirny, and so on and so forth in order.

It is easier to get to large resort towns - by train, plane, intercity bus, but you won’t get any trouble with traveling to the villages - this is what others who have gathered on vacation by the sea think. And they are wrong. Suburban communication is well developed in all major resort centers. I took an electric train to Sochi, and within half an hour you were in Dagomys or Loo. Getting to Vityazevo in the Anapa district is even easier - at hand international Airport, modern railway station. Crimean peninsula in its many riddled with various kinds of transport arteries, choose the shortest route, and hit the road! It is even easier to do it on a personal car - and the navigator is at your disposal, and gas stations and campsites or guarded parking lots. And if you stay in the private sector, there is no breakdown at all - there are garages or parking lots right in the yard.

The advantage of the villages lies in the fact that it has an abundance of the private sector in the form of mini-hotels or guest houses where you can rent a room, a room and even a bed. And you can have a house for the whole family, a corporate party. And it will cost you an order of magnitude cheaper than in a resort town.
In the villages, you can heal. There are boarding houses and sanatoriums in them. In extreme cases, you can get by with a course book, which is cheaper, but with the same effective result.
In the summer, most often, the gardens and kitchen gardens of the villagers are simply bursting with fresh fruits and vegetables. And all these vitamins are much cheaper than in the city. Within walking distance of cafes, not large canteens. So there is no food problem.
Leisure is also different. The coastal villages of Taman are famous for their rich fishing grounds. According to connoisseurs and experienced anglers, there is nowhere else in the world like them! And what a pleasure it is to sit on the shore with a fishing rod, catch a delicious fish, and then cook an excellent fish soup right there on the shore! At the same time, you will have time to swim and sunbathe. In a word, a complete set of pleasures on the seashore! However, there are other entertainments in the villages - sailing on catamarans or rented yachts, the same fishing, but already in the open sea, swimming in the purest water. The beaches of the villages are well-maintained, sunbeds are available for rent, for children - waterslides, adults - beach volleyball, football, and in the evening discos, karaoke.
A wide variety of amateur clubs operate in the villages. Many tourists, for example, flock to Blagoveshchenskaya. Moreover, from abroad. It is a popular place for diving. Far into the sea stretched a sandy spit - the Bank of Magdalene. In its vicinity, at the bottom of the sea, the remains of ships of different times and different peoples, aircraft are buried. Accompanied by experienced instructors, you can examine them, touch them with your hands. If you're lucky, you'll find an ancient coin or amphora in the silt. And how diverse and fantastic the living underwater world is! In the villages you will be offered horseback riding, paragliding and hang-gliding, and much more interesting things. However, as we said, even the cities are within easy reach of the villages. I got into my own car, or a bus, or an electric train, and, perhaps, here you have a water park, a dolphinarium, an oceanarium, and a concert of Russian pop stars - a lot of entertainment. I looked, had fun, and back to my village, with a bunch of vivid impressions!
Rest in the villages on the Black Sea is convenient, varied and cheap! Take advantage of this opportunity too!
