Rest on the coast of the sea. Recreation facilities on the Black Sea - photos, prices, reviews

The Black Sea coast is an incomparable place with a bright southern sun and the azure sea, picturesque nature and a favorable healing climate. Well-maintained and clean beaches, water parks and dolphinariums, a developed sanatorium and preventive base annually attract millions of tourists here.

Coast features

The Black Sea coast of Russia stretched from Adler to Taman for more than 400 kilometers. If we add here the coastline of the Crimean peninsula (750 kilometers), it turns out that our country takes the second place after Turkey (1400 km), according to the length of the coastal territory of the "inhospitable sea" - as the ancient Greeks called it. According to climatic conditions, the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory is divided into three types: temperate (from Taman to Anapa), Mediterranean (from Anapa to Tuapse) and subtropical climate (from Tuapse to Adler). Despite some differences (precipitation mode), a lot of them have in common. High summer and plus winter temperatures make these places comfortable for year-round recreation.

Anapa resort city

Anapa district starts from the Taman Peninsula and ends at the borders of the hero city of Novorossiysk. The municipality includes such resort villages as Vityazevo, Bolshoi Utrish, Dzhemete, Sukko, the village of Blagoveshchenskaya. The Black Sea coast in these places is a developed infrastructure for family and spa holidays. Anapa is the sunniest resort in Russia. Largely due to its sandy beaches and shallow sea, since the time of the USSR, the city has been considered a center of children's recreation. If you add here mineral waters, healing mud and clean air, it will become clear why this area is so popular among vacationers. For children and adults, a large selection of recreational activities is offered. This is an amusement park and a water park, a dolphinarium, an aquarium and a lot of all kinds of excursions and entertainment.

The resort area of \u200b\u200bGelendzhik

Gelendzhik is located on the shore of an oval bay, between two capes - Tonky and Tolstoy. In recent years, the city seemed to have changed. The embankment was reconstructed, which has a length of 14 kilometers and is the longest in the world (listed in the Guinness Book of Records). Throughout its length, you can admire the sculptures and various color compositions, monuments and fountains, the view of the azure sea and numerous trees that create a cozy shadow in hot, sunny weather. Arriving on the Black Sea coast, it is worth visiting the largest water park in Russia, Golden Bay. He, like the other two (but smaller) water-entertainment complexes "Dolphin" and "Hippo", is located in Gelendzhik. It is worth mentioning the cable car leading to the Olympus amusement park, the safari park located on the territory of 156 hectares, and much more.

Tuapse district

Bordered on one side with Gelendzhik, and on the other with Greater Sochi, the Tuapse district occupies an important place among Russian resorts. The zone, which includes such villages as Dzhubga, Olginka, Nebug, Novomikhailovsky, Agoy, Lermontovo, is located in the mountains and, one might say, is buried in coniferous forests. Here, near the village of Novomikhalovsky, the famous camp "Eaglet" is located. The Black Sea coast in this place attracts with its alluring beauty and great opportunities for organizing active tourist vacations. In the vicinity of Tuapse, there are numerous dolmens and other archeological sites worth visiting. As well as touching the wild, having visited the caves and admiring the waterfalls, of which there are many.

The resort city of Sochi

It is difficult to imagine the Black Sea coast of Russia without the main resort city of Sochi. It includes the Khostinsky, Lazarevsky and Adlersky district, bordering the Republic of Abkhazia. Back in Soviet times, local beaches (along with the Crimean) were the most popular in the country. And after the 2014 Winter Olympics, the whole world learned about Sochi as well as about a ski resort. There is a well-developed sanatorium base with local mineral water sources. The resorts of the Black Sea coast of Russia are each unique in their own way, but only in Sochi, in May, having climbed the mountains, you can ski in the snow and go down the cable car to swim in the already warm sea water.

Of course, the Black Sea is not too close to its name. In any case, for most tourists a visit to the shores of this reservoir causes extremely positive emotions. And the visual appearance of the reservoir is in no way associated with this color. Some, either in jest or in earnest, propose updating the sign by changing the title to “Light”. However, this is unlikely to be given special significance. More importantly, another: impressive dimensions make the water area a real resort oasis. Despite the incredible variety of soil, depths and the number of people on the beaches, there are things here that in any coastal part of the part keep constant values. Taking under its protection several states, the “Eurasian giant” (it is here that the maritime border between the two continents passes), attracts vacationers to any territories. In Russia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Romania, Georgia, Abkhazia, and even in Turkey it is classified as a privileged object. Of course, the climatic attractiveness of the surrounding expanses is complemented by wonderful service and incredible beauty of the scenery. Cities that fell into the arms of Ch.M. flaunt historical buildings, as well as a heroic past and no less grandiose future.

At the crossroads

Of course, to cover so many wonderful resorts is worth a lot. If you fantasize, then the legendary Danube River, as well as the waters of the Atlantic Ocean can be added to those. However, despite the justified connection, there is a rather large share of craftiness. Therefore, let's be realistic and talk about less distant places in the water area. Most of them are easiest to reach by plane. The bulk of the states adjacent to the Black Sea reservoir has at its disposal an airport. Some even represent several similar structures (in this sense, we can recall the Krasnodar Territory). However, to regions where the mentioned structures are not present, the road also does not imply any particular difficulties.

For example, there is no airport in Abkhazia, but the proximity to the Adler terminal allows you to get to the resorts of the republic from anywhere in the world.
The construction of the Crimean bridge allows tourists to travel from mainland Russia to the territory of the famous peninsula without resorting to aircraft.
The resort area in the Kuban is very extensive, not every village has an “air harbor”. However, excellent rail and bus services within the region solve any problems associated with the transfer.

About the climate in ecstatic colors

It would seem that discussing climatic conditions near the Black Sea is not a necessity. Indeed, almost everyone knows about the beautiful weather in the vast expanses of the area. Great poets wrote odes to a wonderful reservoir, and artists fixed its pristine azure. However, without reference to temperatures and clean air, these edges cannot be imagined. The mountains of the Crimea, the Krasnodar Territory and Abkhazia, as well as the healing pine trees growing there create an amazing ensemble, demonstrating to the vacationers the healing power of nature. In some parts of the water area palm trees stretch out, and somewhere banana trees delight tourists with their sight - and this we touched only the territories of the former Soviet Union.

The average temperature on the Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory in the summer is 30 degrees.
In Georgia and Abkhazia, in general, temperatures are similar to the Kuban region.
Crimea, in the sense of mercury column indicators, is somewhat more diverse. The geographical position ensured the temperature spread, but on average the figures mentioned on the peninsula in the summer are also not lower than 30 degrees.

When choosing a hotel, your eyes widen

In the context of choosing apartments, you will again have to remember the magnitude of the Black Sea. Its size unwittingly created an abundance in choosing a hotel. Any village provides vacationers with a serious number of options. The price list, which contains quite terrestrial indicators, is adjacent to sky-high value. In such a story, as usual, there is nothing surprising. A huge number of settlements adjacent to the legendary reservoir, is experiencing a tourist boom. And Georgia, and Abkhazia, and Crimea, and, of course, Kuban possessions attract more and more vacationers. Consequently, new buildings replenish each of the mentioned geographical units (both in the elite and in the budget segment).

If we talk about the private sector, then it is very diverse. The most budget offers in Abkhazia (from 500 rubles)
Traditional-style hotel complexes remain adequate along the entire Black Sea coast: Crimea, Abkhazia, Georgia and the Kuban constantly refresh the market with budget offers, an average of 1,500 rubles.
Sanatorium facilities are now converted into hotels. Basically, they are complexes of the middle price category - depending on the region, 1200-1800 rubles.

Beaches, attractions, entertainment

In all three categories, the Black Sea coast is extremely diverse. In principle, the legendary water area itself is an undoubted attraction. However, not far from the reservoir there are other masterpieces of natural origin (say, Ayu-Dag and Ai-Petri mountains - Crimea). There are also temple complexes, and ancient ruins and aristocratic palaces. And talking about the abundance of park areas and sculptural ensembles is unnecessary to speak. Entertainment in the face of dolphinariums, walking schooners and other attractions is also very richly represented. But, the main goal of visitors is magnificent beaches!

The Black Sea coast is famous for the differences in depths, which created several "children's resorts" in these open spaces (the most popular "paddling pools" in the cities of Yevpatoriya and Anapa)
All types of soil are represented on the Black Sea coast - from rocky to sandy.
The tank in the post-Soviet space warms up evenly across all territories. Usually heat is kept in bathing compartments from May to October.
