Modern map of the Sea of ​​Azov. Sea of ​​Azov on the map of Russia. Rest in the resorts of the coast. Webcams on the coast


Often, when planning a vacation at sea, we are faced with the fact that there is no convenient guide. You have to open many tabs in the browser: some with maps and routes, others with characteristics and descriptions of cities and towns, and a bunch of forums with reviews. This article should correct the current situation and make life easier for tourists in search of a place to stay.

In the northern part of the Sea of ​​Azov, on the shores of the Taganrog Bay, there is the resort city of Yeysk. It stands on a spit that goes into the sea, so the city is washed by sea waters from three sides. It is the fifth largest city in terms of population. Krasnodar Territory. You can get to Yeysk by flights to Rostov or Krasnodar, and from there by rail, by buses along the M4 Don highway from Rostov and along the P268 highway from Krasnodar. A little further from Yeysk, at a distance of about 50 kilometers, are the villages of Dolzhanskaya and Kamyshevatskaya, which stand almost on the very shore of the sea.

The most convenient and comfortable place recreation is considered South coast Sea of ​​Azov - Taman Peninsula, which on the opposite side goes to the Black Sea. Consider several options for vacationers to get here. Traveling by air, it is worth flying to Anapa, from there to the nearest regional center Temryuk is only 53 kilometers away by road. What you will get, depends only on your desire. Shuttle Buses go regularly. But the fastest and most comfortable option is still a taxi. From Temryuk, the road to any end of the Taman Peninsula, to any village or village is open in front of you. Temryuk, as a rule, is not considered by tourists as a place for beach holiday. This is true, but only in part, just six kilometers from the city, in the place where the Kuban merges with the sea, there are spacious wild beaches that will satisfy the needs of adherents of the quiet and a relaxing holiday. But the majority makes a choice in the direction of the Golubitsky beaches, which are only 12 kilometers away.

Having spent fifteen minutes on the road, in the worst case, you find yourself in the village of Golubitskaya. To date, this village is the most popular among vacationers. Tourists are well attracted developed infrastructure, close proximity to the regional center, weight entertainment attractions and activities, of course, well-equipped local beaches with sand and broken shells. The beach is located directly in the village, and vacationers get to it on foot. In Golubitskaya itself and its environs there are a lot of places worthy of your visit, which have cultural and historical value.

Leaving Golubitskaya, we set off towards the village of Peresyp, which is almost territorially connected with the village "For the Motherland". To the village to go seventeen kilometers. On the right side of the road you will observe the sea and endless wild beaches, a favorite place for savages, and on the left there will be Akhtanizovsky estuary. So it turns out that the village is surrounded by water on both sides. Rest in these places will delight you with clean beaches with warm clear water. Local mud springs will help improve your well-being and health. The village has its own shops and markets, freeing you from the need to go to Temryuk for groceries.

Further, after driving the next thirteen kilometers along the highway, turning right at the Kuchugury sign, after six kilometers we will be met by a village immersed in greenery, settled far from the noisy highway and attracting with its silence. The city is devoid of any industry, so efforts local population aimed at providing a comfortable stay for the guests of the village. This place is a great choice for families with children.. The entrance to the water has a very gentle slope, and you will not go to the depth immediately. Due to this, the water sometimes warms up to 28-29 degrees. Not far from the village is another mud volcano with free access.

Returning to the E97 highway and, following to the west, we will pass the villages of Zaporozhskaya, Battery, the village of Krasnoarmeisky. The village of Zaporizhzhya is located on the banks of the Densky Bay, forty kilometers from the regional center. From this point of reference, you can follow in two directions: north to the village of Ilyich and the port "Kavkaz" or south towards the village of Taman. Let's take a look at the north direction. In the western point the peninsula is located the village of Ilyich. This is the last settlement that tourists pass through before taking ferries across the Kerch Strait to the Crimean Peninsula. Undeservedly, this village is considered “one of the” transit ones on the way to the Crimea. Local rest you will definitely like. Pleasantly pleased with the prices. You will eat local fruits and vegetables grown in organic home gardens. The road leading to the "Caucasus" is quite busy, so getting out of here on an excursion will not be difficult.

The village of Priazovsky, located north of Ilyich, deserves special attention. The most convenient way to get here is by private transport. Local beaches are devoid of a touch of civilization, so here you can only meet vacationers with tents. This corner is extraordinarily beautiful, it is not for nothing that it is called Taman Switzerland. The lake in the depths of the failure, surrounded by green hills, gives an unforgettable impression of beauty.

Now, having returned to the E97 highway and, having driven back about thirty kilometers, we will meet the village of Sennoy. Another quiet and quiet place for relax. If you miss the noise - Temryuk is 35 kilometers away, and Anapa is 42 kilometers away, and after 50 kilometers the first exit to the Black Sea. The village of Sennoy will surprise you historical monuments and local wine.

From Sennoy, passing the village of Primorsky, we will get through 25 kilometers to the village of Taman. This is truly the cradle of the Kuban with its traditions, museums and festivals, the Cossack region, the land of winemaking and, of course, have a great holiday by the sea.

Now you are aware of the possible stopping points on your route, it remains to decide and go on vacation.

This article is intended to highlight main features of the Sea of ​​Azov. Starting from geographical location and natural data, and ending with specific resorts and coastal cities.

The shallowest in the world and the warmest sea in Ukraine

The Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov - Meotian Lake among the ancient Greeks, Karluk - among the Scythians, the Dark Blue Sea - among the Arabs, the Fish Sea - among the Tatar-Mongols, has been known since ancient times and does not lose popularity even now. Every year, tens of thousands of vacationers spend weekends and vacations on its coast - and this is only in domestic resorts.

The Sea of ​​Azov is most shallow sea in the ocean basin and the warmest in Ukraine.

The maximum depth of the reservoir does not exceed 13.5 meters, and the average is about 7.4 meters, so the sea warms up quite quickly and the water temperature near the coast is already by the middle of May often reaches mark +18°C. It was at this time that a full-fledged beach season, which usually lasts almost until the end of September. At the height of summer surface layer water has a temperature of + 26 ... + 28 ° С, and sometimes even higher than + 30 ° С.

The natural features of Azov made the reservoir popular among tourists. Relatively long holiday season- about five months, traditionally warm water, gentle and smooth descent into the sea - these are the main advantages of the Azov recreations.

Some of them are popularly called children's and "all-Union" health resorts in the old fashioned way, and Kirillovka has been given the official status of "Resort of State Importance".

Map of resorts and the Sea of ​​Azov on the map

This map shows main resort towns on Azov coast Ukraine and Russia. For the most relevant resorts in Ukraine on click the label will link to detailed overview with a description of the infrastructure, recreation features, photos, etc.

Sea of ​​Azov geographically and climatically

The Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov in geography is a semi-enclosed sea of ​​the Atlantic basin and the most continental on the planet - in terms of distance from the ocean, located within two countries - Ukraine (territorially - Donetsk, Zaporozhye, Kherson regions, the northeastern coast of the Crimean Peninsula) and Russia (Krasnodar Territory , Rostov region).

Compared to other seas, for example, the Black (with which it is connected through the Kerch Strait - approx.), Azov is a rather small body of water: its maximum length is about 380 km, its width is about 200 km, and the total length of the coastline does not exceed 1500 km.

Most of the shores of the Sea of ​​Azov are flat, small-shell beaches. The only exceptions are the coastal hills. volcanic origin, which can be seen in the southern part of the reservoir.

The climate of the Sea of ​​Azov it is very strongly influenced by the vast steppe massifs surrounding it from almost all sides both within Ukraine and in the Ciscaucasia and Crimea - with their characteristic low rainfall - an average of 300-500 mm per year.

Therefore, in the resorts of the Sea of ​​​​Azov, rains are a rare and short-term phenomenon, like clouds - especially in summer time, which makes tourists very happy and creates good conditions for a beach holiday.

In summer, local circulation of air masses is established on the coast in the direction from sea to land - during the day, and from land to sea - at night. These are the well-known breezes that soften even the extreme midday heat. That is why the summer air temperature, usual for these latitudes, is +28…+30°С and peak - up to +45°С on the shores of the Sea of ​​Azov is much easier and more comfortable than in city streets.

The resorts of Azov can boast of high solar activity - for example, in Kirillovka, the sunshine time is about 2320 hours per year, which exceeds this figure for the Crimean Yalta.

Coast Features

The coast of the Sea of ​​Azov forms a very whimsical figures and has unusual borders. Spit, which abounds in Azov, formed many estuaries and smoother along the seashore.

By her own coastline gently sloping and smooth, however, many protruding braids give it a rugged look.

In some places steppes approach the sea, in some places the coast has steep clay slopes washed away by the sea, in some places there are swampy flat areas and, of course, in sparsely populated places you can find abundant thickets of reeds.

The forest areas practically do not border on the seashore, so the nature here is not as picturesque as, for example, in the Crimea, and at the height of summer it completely takes on the appearance of a steppe scorched by the sun. Small plantations of trees are usually either artificial plantings or profusely overgrown shrubs.

Webcams on the coast

Firsthand landscape beach area The Sea of ​​Azov can be seen using webcams installed on the coast. For example, below is a webcam located on the Peresyp spit in the Zaporozhye region.

fishing

As noted above, the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov is warm and shallow. It was these conditions that provided him at one time with a fairly active reproduction of flora and fauna. In terms of the number of plant and animal organisms, Azov was the world leader, and the fish productivity of the sea (the ratio of the total number of fish and the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe reservoir) was 40 times higher than the corresponding indicator of the Black Sea and more than 6 times that of the Caspian Sea.

Until recently, the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov was considered an inexhaustible storehouse for fishing - industrial, amateur, sports. Gobies, flounder, beluga, sturgeon, spike, stellate sturgeon, ram, herring - all this was far from a complete list of gifts from the deep sea.

But due to the consumer attitude to the sea, the population of many fish species has declined, and some have even added to the list of endangered ones. so that despite the good natural conditions, Azov today is systematically losing the glory of the most “fishy” sea.

Today, in the Kirillovka area, in fact, only the Azov goby or, in some cases, the pilengas remained the subject of real fishing.

Recreational effect and health improvement

The coast of the Sea of ​​Azov is not only popular place recreation, but also an effective aeroionic health resort, working through a combination of healing factors created by nature itself.

The air near Azov is a kind of cocktail, which is saturated iodine, bromine, minerals and trace elements- due to active evaporation of water from the surface of the sea and estuaries and phytoncides brought by winds from the steppe massifs.

Provided that there are no industrial enterprises and highways with busy traffic in the district, such a mix can have a general healing effect and alleviate conditions in case of acute respiratory viral infections, chronic diseases upper respiratory tract and allergic reactions.

Azov sea ​​water its composition is also unique in many respects. It contains over 90 chemical elements that have a beneficial effect on the human body. The bottom layer has deposits of healing sulfide silt mud formed during the decay of marine flora and fauna. Due to the shallow depth of Azov, even a slight wave of the sea turns water into a mud suspension, and sea bathing into wellness procedure indicated for diseases of the skin, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular and nervous systems.

By the way, there is also useless, and often harmful to health, mud in the sea - it is enough off the coast of industrial cities and ports.

Useful dirt is found not only in the sea, but also in estuaries- salty bays, which are in sufficient quantity in the Azov basin.

The mud of estuaries is the basis for the functioning balneological clinics located in Kirillovka, Berdyansk and other resorts on the Sea of ​​Azov - both in Ukraine and in Russia. In these institutions, vacationers, or rather, patients, can be offered treatment that can improve metabolism, correct and stabilize the state of the peripheral nervous system, alleviate asthma and chronic respiratory diseases, after injuries and exacerbations of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, get rid of gynecological and urological problems.

Holidays with children on the Sea of ​​Azov

A children's resort - this is how almost every Azov region can be characterized. On the coast of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bAzov, the main conditions for the implementation of a proper holiday with children are fulfilled:

Mild climate, lack of acclimatization

The weather in the Azov resorts is sunny days, a sea breeze that softens the summer heat and a breeze that constantly brings new portions of phytoncides from the steppes and iodine and bromine ions from the sea to the coast.

Unlike a trip to mediterranean coast and the same South Coast, who came to Azov, actually do not go through an acclimatization period, unless, of course, they are residents extreme north. That is why holidays on the Sea of ​​Azov in resorts remote from industry can be useful for children of almost any age, up to newborns.

Warm water, smooth descent into the sea

As mentioned above, Azov is a shallow sea, so sea water has a comfortable temperature for swimming already in May, and in summer the water is “like fresh milk”, which is very suitable for babies sitting in the sea for hours. Moreover, on most Azov resorts a sandy coastal strip that does not injure children's legs, and the deepening of the sea is gradual - somewhere more dynamic, somewhere less, but without underwater holes and sharp cliffs.

Habitual foods

An important aspect for those who take children on vacation and make sure that the vacation passes without unpleasant reactions to food that is unfamiliar, not specific to our latitudes. Plus - here you can buy seasonal vegetables and fruits grown in the Azov settlements, the use of which can replenish the vitamin supply of children and increase immunity.

Pricing policy of Azov resorts

It is well known that in most Azov resorts you can find almost any number- from economy option no amenities to premium or VIP-class accommodation, respectively, the price of rest can differ significantly.

In addition, the cost of consistent rooms can be enough different depending on the region. The Azov coast is characterized by a division into inexpensive and expensive resorts.

The main factors for such pricing are the popularity, the "hype" of recreation, the development of infrastructure, the availability of entertainment facilities and the convenience of transfer.

"Inexpensive" vacation

Inexpensive to relax on the Sea of ​​Azov within the framework of Ukraine, for example, in Stepanovka Pervaya, Primorsk, Primorsky Posad - without any special requests for leisure activities.

These resorts are purely beach and practically devoid of infrastructure and entertainment.

Rest of the middle price category

Most popular resort Ukrainian Sea of ​​Azov - Kirillovka, which has all the conditions for tourists not to get bored - big water park, dolphinarium, equestrian theater, amusement park, a sufficient number of nightclubs, discos, cafes.

Since the high demand for recreation leads to an increase in prices, Kirillovka in this regard has been holding the lead among Ukrainian resorts Sea of ​​Azov.

Melekino

The resort village 35 kilometers from Mariupol is also questionable in terms of the ecological cleanliness of the coast, as it is located close to the city and industrial giants.

The advantages of Melekino include the proximity of housing to the beaches.

Sedovo

The village is located 55 kilometers from Mariupol on the Crooked Spit. Small in area, it has about thirty boarding houses, recreation centers and hotels and has a reputation as a relatively clean region, due to its remoteness from major cities and industrial facilities.

Most of the holiday homes in Sedovo are located 20-100 meters from the sea.

The main feature of the resort is rather narrow beaches.

Shelkino and Cape Kazantip

City on northeast coast Crimea, built to service the nuclear power plant that has not been launched, has the glory of a youth party resort.

The Republic of KaZantip or the Republic of Z is an electronic music festival, which until recently was held on the territory of an unfinished nuclear reactor - the main attraction of the region.

In addition to fans of non-stop partying, Cape Kazantip was a haven for windsurfers who took part in the annual competition for the Russian Funboard Association (RFA) federation cup.

Resorts on the Russian coast

And now briefly, but in detail, we will talk about the resorts located on Russian coast Sea of ​​Azov.

Taganrog

The resort town in the Rostov region, founded by Peter the Great in 1698, is included in the list of historical cities of Russia.

Taganrog - sea ​​port And industrial centre southern Russia with large metallurgical and machine-building production.

There is actually no point in talking about any environmental friendliness of the resort.

First of all, tourists here may be interested in a well-developed infrastructure, historical sights and cultural sites.

Yeysk

The city on the Sea of ​​Azov in the Krasnodar Territory is located between the Taganrog Bay and the Yeysk Estuary, at the base of the Yeysk Spit.

Unlike Taganrog, there are no very large industrial facilities in the city, but there are plenty of attractions and entertainment.

The most popular among tourists is the Yeisk Spit, on which there are the most large beaches, sanatoriums, recreation centers, cafes and restaurants.

No less popular is the Kupechesky district, which attracts tourists with its ancient architecture and the Taganrog embankment, which is considered the heart of the resort.

Yeysk has an operating port and a railway, which add convenience in terms of transfer, but negatively affect the ecological state of recreation.

Primorsko-Akhtarsk

The resort is located on the Akhtar Bay in the northwestern part of the Krasnodar Territory.

Among the listed Russian recreations, Primorsko-Akhtarsk can be called the most environmentally friendly.

The main industrial load here is taken by canning mini-fish factories, there are no large industrial facilities in the resort, and railroad station is unlikely to cause too much damage to the purity of air and water.

The disadvantages of recreation include a rather modest offer of housing in the resort and an underdeveloped infrastructure.

Taman Peninsula

The Krasnodar resort region is unique not only because it is washed by two seas - Azov and Black, but also the presence of volcanoes, spewing mud - active, extinct and dormant.

The largest and most famous among them are Akhtanizovskaya and Karabetova hills, Hephaestus volcano.

The pearl of Taman is the local “Switzerland”, a protected area with wild vegetation, which is very suitable for lovers of secluded relaxation in the bosom of nature.

Last time we talked about where you can relax on Black Sea coast in Russia.
Today we will consider the most popular vacation spots on the Sea of ​​Azov, which is located in the South-East of Ukraine and South-West of Russia. For obvious reasons, we will not consider the Ukrainian coast, but from the Russian side we will study in more detail.

Let's start with the fact that Azov is the shallowest sea in the world. And this means that the water here warms up much faster, which allows you to start the swimming season much earlier than in the Black Sea resorts.

The sea shores here are mostly flat and sandy, the entrance to the water is long and gentle. The Sea of ​​Azov is often chosen by families with small children or those who do not like noisy port cities.

When choosing a place to stay, consider the political situation. If a year ago Yeysk was one of the most popular resort towns Azov, then this year, due to its proximity to Rostov-on-Don, a large influx of tourists is not expected here. For the same reason, the outflow of tourists is likely to occur in the Neklinovsky district and the Azov region.

To get to the Sea of ​​Azov from Yekaterinburg, you need to drive 2,600 kilometers. Near the main resorts are two major airports- Anapa Vityazevo and Krasnodar Pashkovsky. There are also trains.

Shcherbinovsky district

Shabelskoe

The northernmost resort village on the Azov coast of the Kuban, however, sunny days per year, here no less than in the south of the Krasnodar Territory.

The village is located on the coast of the Azov Sea ( South coast Taganrog Bay) at Cape Sazalnik and salt lake Long. About 2500 people live in the village. There are not many tourists even in the summer months. This is primarily due to the fact that there is practically no infrastructure for recreation. If you are not embarrassed by the lack of coastal cafes and discos, then nature and the sea will clearly please lovers of loneliness.

Glazing

Glafirovka is another small village in the Shcherbinovsky district. The beach, as well as in Shabelsky, is sand and shell. To the south of the village stretches the 6.6-kilometer Glafirovskaya Spit, which separates the Yeysk estuary from the Taganrog Bay.
Here, by mid-May, the water in the sea warms up to 27 degrees, and in June-August on some days - up to 30-33 degrees. bathing season lasts until mid-September.

It is always clear and sunny in Glafirovka, with almost no rain in summer. The village is quite small, but completely paved. Housing is inexpensive, but the choice is small. Quiet, calm and very green.

Primorsko-Akhtarsky district

This area is famous for its medicinal waters and dirt. Therefore, here you can plan not just a vacation on the coast, but also treatment in one of the sanatoriums.

This area is also known for its winds, which create special conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing. And, perhaps, this is the only area in which hunting and fishing for tourists is developed.

Primorosko-Akhtarsk

Primorosko-Akhtarsk is a small coastal town with over 30,000 inhabitants. It is surrounded by estuaries, healing mud springs and lakes.

This corner of the Kuban attracts with its open spaces. In addition to three well-maintained municipal beaches, here you can find quite wild ones. Almost everywhere the sea deepens gradually, the bottom is small pebbles.
This city is one of the few where almost everyone can find entertainment to their liking. Night bars and restaurants, city beaches are equipped with trampolines, children's pools and sports grounds. Sandy and small-pebble beaches also attract the attention of vacationers. Therefore, it is never empty here.

Yasensky camping

There is another type of recreation on Azov. People often travel as savages in their cars. Therefore, a car camping was organized near Akhtarsk.

It is designed for 197 cars and 197 tent places. Visitors are offered comfortable bungalows, solariums, a bar, a kitchen, children's and sports grounds, water rides and other conditions for a pleasant stay.

Achuevskaya Spit

You can get here by dirt road or by motorboat, so there are practically no tourists here. secluded sandy beaches and virgin nature for real romantics. Here it is customary to put up a tent, fish and talk with the sky and the sea. Nudists also like to relax here.

You can get to the Primorsko-Akhtarsky district by car or by bus. It is also possible to come by train to the villages of Kanevskaya or Bryukhovetskaya, as well as to the city of Timashevsk, and from there by bus or taxi.

Yeysk district

The Yeisk District is located in the northwest of the Krasnodar Territory, between the two capitals of the North Caucasus region: Krasnodar and Rostov-on-Don.

As mentioned above, many will be afraid to go to this area next summer because of the proximity to Rostov-on-Don. That's why everything gorgeous beaches, developed infrastructure can be quite attractive for those who do not like crowds of people. Well, the prices, most likely, no one will bully. Although, who knows.

Shell and sandy beaches, estuaries and spits, freshwater lakes, shallow and warm sea - all this is the Yeysk region.


The main resort areas of the Yeysk region are: the Yeysk Spit (the city of Yeysk), the Long Spit (the village of Dolzhanskaya), the Kamyshevatskaya Spit (the village of Kamyshevatskaya), as well as the sea coast near the village of Yasenskaya Crossing.

Yeysk - big resort town Azov coast, which was founded at the end of the nineteenth century. If you fundamentally do not like children, then it is better to avoid holidays in Yeysk. Because Russian mothers consider it their duty to take their children here. In general, the Sea of ​​​​Azov is very fond of families with small children. Because the sand, because it is shallow, because it warms up well. Yeisk is no exception. Among other things, it is very green here: pears, apricots, cherry plums, apples, cherries grow.

There are many entertainments on the coast, both for children and adults: parks, an aquarium, various attractions.

long braid

One of the secluded places of Azov is located 30 kilometers from Yeysk. Trains do not go here, planes do not fly, it is quite difficult to get to the village of Dolzhanka. As a rule, those who come here on their own in cars. Bikers gather here at the beginning of summer, the same place is known among surfers who put up their tents here for the whole summer.

The place is almost wild. Several camp sites, a small number of houses - everything is located in the middle of the spit. There is almost no entertainment, and as a result, there are practically no tourists.

Attention! You should not swim on the edge of the spit because a large number whirlpools. Every year people drown in this place.

Kamyshevatskaya spit

The village of Kamyshevatskaya is located 38 kilometers from Yeysk. Quiet, relaxing place for families.
In the village there is an estuary with natural therapeutic mud. The beach is sand and shell. Minibuses and buses go to Yeysk, so if it’s calm, measured rest bored you can always have fun in a big resort town.

Many locals they keep goats and cows, so you can always buy fresh, natural milk on the market.

Yasenskaya ferry

It is famous for being the most low prices for living among the resort villages of the Azov coast, perhaps due to the fact that there is absolutely no tourism infrastructure. The beach is a shell rock, the sea warms up to 32 degrees by August, the water is often muddy due to the muddy bottom.
Every year in May, the Yasenmai Kitesurfing Festival takes place here.

Slavyansky district

The resort area of ​​the Slavyansk region stretches for 45 kilometers of the Azov coast. In addition to traditional recreation by the sea, sailing sports, kayaking on the Kuban and Protoka rivers and ordinary hiking along river banks.

Achuevo

Another small village of the Azov Sea. The sea is shallow, to swim you need to walk 150-200 meters. Usually everyone relaxes on the beach-camping "Oasis", which is equipped with shady tents, and on the coast there is a cafe, parking, barbecues and a tent with souvenirs.

Achuevo is far from a resort, just a small village with a beach. If you are not pretentious and want to save money, then you can relax in Achuevo.

Temryuk district

An hour's drive from Anapa Airport is the city of Temryuk, which is the most major city Taman Peninsula.

Behind it begins the so-called Azov Riviera. This is about 100 km of sandy beaches along the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov from Temryuk to Kerch Strait. There are four resort villages - Kuchugury, Peresyp, Golubitskaya and Ilyich.

Kuchugury

Kuchugury is a village in the Temryuk district, just 60 kilometers from the Anapa airport.

About five years ago I personally had a chance to visit there, I think that nothing much has changed.

Until mid-June, there are very few vacationers, it often happened that the beach remained completely empty until lunch. The coastal strip itself is sandy, the entrance to the sea is gentle. The sea is more like a lake, during the month of our stay there were waves a couple of times.

Closer to the center of the village there are always more people, so if you like solitude, it is better to settle on the outskirts. There is one large store in the center, the scale can be compared with the former Central Grocery Store on Lenina. There is a pharmacy and a pharmacy kiosk, if the necessary drug is not on sale, they bring it to order.

The market is also small, and like all markets on the coast, it is open from early morning. In the private sector, you can buy cherries, strawberries, milk.

Taxi drivers drive around the village, who, for a hundred rubles, are ready to go to the store at any time of the day or night.

There is a small park with entertainment for children. At night, there are open-air bars and cafes near the park.

The village is located 70 kilometers from Anapa on the Krasnodar-Kerch-Simferopol highway. It was located on both sides of the road. One part of the village lives along the estuary, and the other along the sea. If you want to save on accommodation, then you should look for housing from the side of the estuary, it is cheaper there. You will have to walk to the sea across the road, and the whole journey will take 15-20 minutes.

Unlike Kuchugur or Golubitskaya travel business is just beginning to develop. There is active construction, the infrastructure is practically absent.

The market is expensive, so if you are in your own car, you can save a lot by driving only 15-20 kilometers in any direction, to the village of Za Rodinu or to the village of Akhtonizovskaya. Even on the highway, vegetables and fruits will cost twice as much.

One of the advantages of this place is the mud volcano Tizdar, although, however, mud baths on the Azov coast are almost everywhere.

Golubitskaya

Stanitsa Golubitskaya is a promoted and very popular place on the Sea of ​​Azov.
As soon as it appears in the review crocodile farm, water park, dolphinarium, exhibitions of exotic animals, we understand that life is in full swing here. Tourists need to be entertained, tourists need to be appeased, tourists need to be pumped out of money.

Did you know that we also have a crocodile farm in Yekaterinburg, but how often do you go there? But on vacation, don’t feed us bread, just let us stare at the crocodiles.

Among other things, there are two markets in Golubitskaya, many bars and night discos. There is even a striptease, most likely a very exciting sight.

For lovers therapeutic mud The Taman Peninsula is just a godsend. Everywhere you look - a mud volcano. So in Golubitskaya blue clay, even for money, even for free, smear yourself - I don’t want to.

The beaches are sand and small shells, the entrance is gentle and protracted, in general, as elsewhere on the Sea of ​​​​Azov.

Ilyich

The village of Ilyich is located on the shore of the Kerch Strait, a two-hour drive from the Anapa airport.
Well, if you want to forget what civilization is, then you are here. At ten o'clock in the evening the village simply dies out. There are no bars or restaurants here, just sea, sun and cheap fruits.

The lack of tourist flow also affects the shops. Only frozen products are sold here, for fresh meat or fish, you will have to go to neighboring villages.

I think you have a question, why write about Ilyich at all, since there are no at least some conditions for tourists there. I assure you, there is a reason, namely, gorgeous sandy beaches and solitude, which is so appreciated by lovers of wild holidays.

Taman is another village of the Temryuk region, located on the coast of the Taman Bay.

It is in Taman that the action of the eponymous part of the novel by M. Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time" takes place. Remember what he said about him? "Taman is the nastiest little town of all the seaside towns of Russia."
In general, despite the fact that Taman is a fairly large city compared to the villages that were described above, this is a “hole”.
