Yeisk

Yeisk is the largest resort in the Krasnodar Territory on the Azov Sea. We liked it with an abundance of greenery, industrial landscapes of the port, long sandy beaches and panoramic views, the Yeisk spit and first-class sunsets, as well as the opportunity to watch the successful and not so good maneuvers of kitesurfers. In addition, it is good for families with children. In general, Yeisk is not a faceless and boring resort in our south, but quite a lively and interesting city, which has something other than a beach, shooting galleries and stalls with chebureks. Check out our review about Yeisk.

What is worth going for:

• ✔ Sunny, warm and almost no rain.
• ✔ Warm sea and nice sandy beaches.
• ✔ Inexpensive vacation.
• ✔ Dolphinarium, oceanarium and other children's entertainment.
• ✔ Kitesurfing, windsurfing, yachting, parachuting.
• ✔ Green parks for walking.
• ✔ Healing mud.

Minuses:

• ✘ Very shallow sea, but it's a plus for children.
• ✘ Distance from airports.
• ✘ The beach season is shorter than on the Black Sea: from early June to mid-September.
• ✘ With the wind, the water in the Sea of ​​Azov becomes cloudy due to silt and sand suspension.
• ✘ In addition to active recreation at sea, there is little entertainment for young people.

Dolzhanskaya

Dolzhanskaya is a very small resort, but curious. The main buildings are located at a distance from the sea, and only rare guest houses get close to the shore. The land is semi-wild and steppe, and on the way to the sea you will only meet grasses, empty roads and sand.

The most interesting thing in Dolzhanskaya is a beautiful spit going into the sea, sunsets, black cormorants, giant jellyfish, silence and that very feeling of overseas beach relaxation, which is not found in our other resorts! It's good and calm on the spit, just right to include Bob Marley. It is interesting that I caught such a beach vibe only in the Dominican Republic, listening to a saxophonist, watching the sunset and drinking "Mojito". Take a look at our review about Dolzhanskaya.

What is worth going for:

• ✔ Environmentally friendly place.
• ✔ Inexpensive vacation.
• ✔ Sandy and shell beaches.
• ✔ Silence and solitude, because there are a minimum of people.
• ✔ Excellent conditions for water sports.
• ✔ Estuary with healing hydrogen sulphide mud.
• ✔ Sea fishing.
• ✔ You can relax in a tent - I've seen several.

Minuses:

• ✘ Infrastructure is very poorly developed.
• ✘ In summer, prices in stores are overpriced.
• ✘ There are no attractions and entertainment other than sports
• ✘ There are jellyfish in the water - I don't know if they sting, but I didn't dare to go into the sea.

Kuchugury

We went to the village on the Sea of ​​Azov with the funny name Kuchugury several times. It used to be a remote place, but now the resort has grown. The beaches here are good and long - golden crumbly sand interspersed with beautiful shells. The sea is shallow everywhere, it warms up well, and the entrance to the water is shallow. In general, this is a good place for a budget and relaxing holiday, especially with children.

The main disadvantage is that the Sea of ​​Azov sometimes looks cloudy because of the waves. But in August-September, with the onset of darkness, you can swim among the glowing plankton! It is beautiful and unusual, try it. Check out our review about Kuchugurs.

What is worth going for:

• ✔ Shallow warm sea.
• ✔ Golden sand.
• ✔ Inexpensive vacation.
• ✔ Mud volcano with healing mud.
• ✔ Luminous plankton.

Minuses:

• ✘ Infrastructure is not as developed as in major resorts.
• ✘ Shallow water is inconvenient for adults.
• ✘ There is no beautiful nature - there is only steppe around.
• ✘ Water can be cloudy due to waves.

Anapa

Anapa is the city of childhood, the city of the sun. For children at the resort, expanse: shallow sea, sandy beaches, a lot of entertainment and temptations! If I were a child, my parents would have left a lot of money in Anapa ... So Anapa is one of the best resorts in the Krasnodar Territory for families with children.

However, tourists without children, most likely, will not like it in Anapa. Of course, there are the usual entertainments like clubs, bowling, cinemas and hookah bars. But there are no really bright, exciting places or entertainments like in Sochi or Krasnaya Polyana. Check out our review about Anapa.

What is worth going for:

• ✔ The shallow sea is safe for children and warms up quickly.
• ✔ Comfortable sandy beaches.
• ✔ Lots of fun for kids of all ages.
• ✔ Developed infrastructure: hotels and guest houses, cafes and canteens, supermarkets, pharmacies, shopping centers, markets - there is everything.
• ✔ Lots of excursions in the vicinity and distant resorts.
• ✔ Dry climate, so heat is more easily tolerated.
• ✔ Easy to reach by plane, train, car and bus.

Minuses:

• ✘ Usually in July-August the sea blooms.
• ✘ Shallow water, as in the Sea of ​​Azov. To swim properly, you need to walk for a long time.
• ✘ There are a lot of tourists.
• ✘ There are a lot of children, which means a lot of screaming and noise.
• ✘ There is especially nothing for an adult to do and nothing to see - there are no bright sights or interesting cultural activities in the resort.

Kabardinka

Kabardinka is a small village in the shadow of Gelendzhik. The resort is located in the beautiful Tsemesskaya bay. It is deep blue and framed with greenery, and the silhouettes of barges and ships can be seen on the horizon. Nice looking landscape!

I thought that Kabardinka was a collective farm and half-abandoned, like some small villages on the Black Sea, but no. The resort turned out to be clean and well maintained, with a long green promenade and an incredible amount of fun for the kids. A long pedestrian alley with lanterns, shops, souvenir stalls and cafes leads to the beaches. The beaches are all pebbly and the water is very clean. But there are large stones in the water.

If you cannot decide where to relax in the Krasnodar Territory, then, in principle, Kabardinka is a good choice. The resort is good for beach holidays, diving, hiking in the foothills and spa treatments. Check out our review about Kabardinka.

What is worth going for:

• ✔ The sea, even at the height of summer, is much cleaner than in Gelendzhik.
• ✔ The resort has all the necessary infrastructure for a tourist.
• ✔ There are fewer vacationers than in Gelendzhik, Anapa and Sochi.
• ✔ The climate is dry and the heat is more easily tolerated.
• ✔ Prices are lower than in major resorts.
• ✔ You can have a good rest with children.

Minuses:

• ✘ The beaches are pebbly, but that's nothing. Worse, there are stones in the sea.
• ✘ You can only get from the airport or railway station by taxi or bus.
• ✘ There are a lot of people in the resort in July and August, so the sea and the beach become muddy.
• ✘ The beaches are crowded during the season.
• ✘ There are not so many interesting sights in the village and its surroundings.
