Russian resorts on the Black Sea coast are becoming more and more popular among our compatriots. Which, in general, is not surprising - after all, you do not need visas for such a vacation, you can get there by train or even a private car, and you should not be afraid of the hostility of local residents.

At the same time, the level of service and quality of service is getting better and better every year. Anapa is traditionally considered the pearl of the Black Sea coast. A carefree city, having arrived in which you do not want to think about anything bad, it can boast not only a 55-kilometer beach strip.

Numerous sights of Anapa and the surrounding area will surely interest curious tourists who believe that rest is not peace, but first of all impressions.

Lighthouse

The resort boasts a lighthouse that serves both aesthetic and practical functions. Built on this site back in the 19th century, it has been a reference point for sailors for decades. True, the first tower was not preserved - it was destroyed by the retreating German troops in 1943. The current one was built in the 1950s according to a completely different project.

Despite the uncomplicated architectural design, the lighthouse fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape. From its foot there is a beautiful view of the sea, the beach and mountains below. Traditionally, couples in love come here to meet sunrise or sunset. During the day, they are replaced by numerous tourists who want to take beautiful photographs as a keepsake.

The lighthouse can rightfully be considered not only a marine, but also an urban landmark. It is visible from afar, from many parts of the city. You can get to one of the best viewing platforms on the Black Sea coast by walking along the Upper Embankment. The visit is completely free. True, you can't get inside - the lighthouse is active.

Embankment

The embankment is a visiting card, the soul and heart of the city. Completely renovated in 2002, it has become a kind of Russian response to the European resorts of the Mediterranean. Conventionally, the embankment consists of two tiers, but in fact there are three of them.

Huge boulders are located right by the sea, on which vacationers love to sunbathe. However, their main function is not to please guests, but to protect the main street from high waves.

The next tier is a beautiful alley with romantic lanterns, palm trees and flower sculptures. Fish-whale, Octopus, Dolphin have already managed to fall in love with both tourists and locals. However, florists do not stop there and every year they present more and more surprises.

Literally two steps away, behind the wide rails, life is in full swing. Here are concentrated cafes, restaurants, attractions. Numerous dance floors and bars open their doors at night.

On the Upper Tier, the atmosphere is completely different - peace and quiet reign here. It is in this part of the embankment that most of the city's attractions are concentrated - from the lighthouse to the Central Park.

It will hardly be possible to pass by the embankment. And almost all public transport routes pass here. Therefore, getting to it will not be difficult.

Aquapark "Golden Beach"

The city is famous not only for its beautiful sandy beaches, natural beauty and architectural heritage, but also for a lot of entertainment. Aquapark Golden Beach is located right in the city center and traditionally attracts guests of all ages looking for fun and adrenaline. The territory is conditionally divided into several thematic zones, each of which has something interesting. One of them, Treasure Island, is aimed at younger guests.

Those who are already three years old will be able to go down the Malaya Foam and Drakosha slides on their own. It makes no sense to list all the slopes for those who are older - there are a lot of them. Thrill-seekers will surely love the almost steep Kamikaze and Black Hole slides.

Connoisseurs of tranquility can relax in one of the pools. And even if you are not going to rush down at a dizzying speed, it is still worth climbing the towers of the highest slides at least once - a dizzying view of the surroundings and the central part opens up from here.

The doors of the Golden Beach are open daily, from 10-00 to 23-00 (however, in winter, from mid-September to early May, the park is closed).

You can get here by almost any city bus or minibus. Children under 5 years old can visit the water park for free.

Aquarium "Bathyscaphe"

Bathyscaphe is one of the most popular attractions. Traveling through the underwater tunnel is the only chance for many to get to know the world of the Black Sea. After all, not everyone has diving experience and a diving certificate.

Stingrays, flounder, the legendary stargazer and many other fish swim in front of the guests' eyes. Looking at all this diversity, it is difficult even to believe that the fauna of the Black Sea is considered not too rich.

In addition, in the Bathyscaphe you can see dolphins and visit the terrarium with snakes, crocodiles and other reptiles. The aquarium is located not far from the lighthouse, at Protapova street, building 1.

You can get to it by minibus taxi # 9. Opening hours in the summer months - from 10-00 to 18-00, in winter the Bathyscaphe closes an hour earlier.

Bugaz spit

If there are places in Russia that windsurfers and kiters really love, then this is the Bugaz Spit, located not far from Anapa. Those who are looking for vivid impressions also drop in here. For beginners in this area, more than 10 kite schools are open, where you can work out with an instructor and even take the most real courses with the issuance of a certificate. The cost of a one-time lesson is about 2500 rubles.

The spit itself is a small sandy strip, 200-300 meters wide, stretching for 12 kilometers along the Bugaz estuary on one side and the Black Sea on the other.

It is famous not only for its wind, which makes it possible to catch a wave, but also for its beautiful wild beaches. Campers with tents are not uncommon here.

For those wishing to relax in comfort at the beginning of the spit, from the side of the village of Blagoveshchenskaya, there are two boarding houses and a cozy eco-hotel. You can get to the spit by a minibus running between the resort and Blagoveshenskaya.

Source of St. Vladimir

Anapa is famous not only for its beautiful beaches and well-developed entertainment infrastructure, but also for a large number of health resorts offering a variety of treatment programs. Those who want to improve their health on their own should definitely go to the village of Natukhaevskaya, located 27 kilometers from the city.

It is here that one of the most famous mineral springs of the Black Sea coast, named after St. Vladimir, is located. By the way, it is named after a person who has nothing to do with the kingdom of heaven - Dr. Vladimir Budzinsky.

It is he who is considered the founder of sanatoriums. The hilly area surrounding the spring, which is called Semigorye, is also interesting. There is a beautiful oak grove nearby. Scientists claim that the oldest tree here is more than 600 years old.

Getting to the source of St. Vladimir on your own is quite difficult. First of all, you need to get to the village of Natukhaevskaya and then walk in the direction indicated by any local resident.

The source of Theodosius Caucasian

The healing spring of Theodosius Caucasian, located near the village of Gorny, is a place that attracts believers, pilgrims and just curious tourists. Traditionally, people come to the local temple for help, consolation, and then with gratitude.

It is not surprising that the source is covered with a huge number of legends. The very first of them is connected, of course, with its foundation.

If you believe her, then many centuries ago Theodosius of the Caucasus, choosing where to build a skete, prayed on a stone for 7 days. In the morning, it was in this place that a beautiful and rare periwinkle flower bloomed. Having built the chapel, Theodosius also asked about the source, which immediately appeared.

You can visit the source at any time completely free of charge, but getting to it is quite difficult. To do this, you will have to rent a car or purchase an excursion at one of the travel agencies.

Lermontov arbor

Whether Mikhail Yuryevich was in Anapa or not is not known for certain. However, the locals firmly believe that they have been. Moreover, he spent most of his short but bright life in the Kuban and the Caucasus. It is not surprising that there is a place in the city associated with the name of the poet. This is a wonderful romantic gazebo on the edge of the cliff, in Bolshoy Utrish.

Judging by the stories of the guides, it was here that Mikhail Yuryevich drew inspiration for writing the novel Hero of Our Time. Believe it or not - everyone's personal business. But from the views that open from the Lermontov pavilion, even experienced travelers will definitely feel dizzy.

However, to enjoy them you will have to spend money on a taxi or an excursion (the cost depends on the program) - you will not be able to get here by public transport.

Monument to Aibolit

The city is considered one of the best children's health resorts on the Black Sea coast. It is not surprising that it was here that a monument to the hero of everyone's favorite fairy tale, Aibolit, appeared.

The good doctor sits on a log and sets his wing to a butterfly, and many grateful and already healthy animals have gathered around him: a parrot, a pig, a hare, a squirrel. Despite the fact that a cute monument appeared relatively recently, tourist traditions are already associated with it.

In order to "catch your luck", you need to rub the cross on the doctor's hat, reduce the pressure - stroke the parrot, and touching the squirrel will cure joint pain. And if you suddenly get sick with a runny nose, it is enough to touch the piglet's piglet.

Apparently, there are a lot of tourists who believe in examples, because the monument in the cherished places is rubbed to a shine. Aibolit was registered at the entrance to the DiLUCH sanatorium, on Kalinin Street. They admit to him completely free of charge at any time of the day or night.

Monument to the white hat

The song about the legendary hat, which must certainly be worn before the trip, was sung to the accompaniment of a guitar by Soviet holidaymakers. Not so long ago, they remembered about folk art, and gave a new life to the hat. Very quickly, an unusual monument erected at the Park Hotel became a symbol of the city.

Indeed, one cannot do without a headdress under the scorching sun. But, alas, the hat was soon stolen. The sculpture was so fond of the locals and guests that it was decided to restore it. The new home for the white marble hat is the 30th Anniversary of Victory Park.

Nowadays, there is even a custom - passing by the hat, take off the headdress. Moreover, tourists believe that touching it brings good luck. And a photo for memory is an obligatory item of the Anapa program.

In order to do it, sometimes you even have to stand in line. Finding a white hat is not so difficult - it is located, as mentioned above, in the Park of the 30th anniversary of Victory, on Gorky Street. Many city buses and minibuses stop nearby.

Russian gate

Despite all its seeming lightness, this is a city with a rich and rather complicated history. For a long time, this territory was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and to strengthen the borders near the Caucasus Mountains, the Turks built an impressive fortress, consisting of seven bastions and three gates. Unfortunately, very little has survived to this day - the only gate.

They began to be called Russians in 1854, in honor of the successful completion of the Russian-Turkish war and the liberation of the city in 1828.

Today this monument is not only a reminder of the deeds of bygone days, but also a symbol of the power of the Russian army, which remains strong at all times. The Russian Gate is located on the Upper Embankment. Finding them is easy.

Ethnographic children's park "Dobrodeya"

Although Dobrodeya is called a children's ethnographic park, it attracts tourists of all ages. After all, this is a unique place where you can get acquainted with local customs, traditions, and even take part in a real Cossack feast - with a rich table, drinks, songs and dances. The territory of the park-museum is conditionally divided into two parts. The first, the kingdom of Berendey, is dedicated to Russian fairy tales.

Little guests literally from the very first steps get into the magical world of adventures, meet famous heroes and, of course, do not leave without gifts. The second part is already more serious - this is the Cossack courtyard.

Here you can get acquainted with the customs of local residents, visit a real hut with typical interiors, examine clothes, weapons and many other interesting things. The ethnographic park is located in the Gostagaevskaya village, where you can easily get there by bus or minibus. The cost of the visit is 150 rubles. Dobrodeya's doors are open from 10-00 to 21-00 on any day except Monday.

Flower clock

Probably, there is not a single vacationer who at least once would not check the time on the legendary flower clock. They appeared not so long ago, in 2008, but they have already become a symbol of the resort and take their rightful place on postcards and souvenirs.

The sculpture was designed and thought out very carefully. The mechanism was made according to a special order in Poland, the diameter of the watch, exactly 10 meters, was also not chosen by chance - it is the same as that of a living clock on Poklonnaya Gora.

The flowerbed design itself is a creation of local florists. By the way, every night the flower clock is updated, replacing faded plants with new ones. Finding a living sculpture is not difficult - it is located at 85 Krepostnaya Street. Here is the road to the embankment and the central city beach.

Monument "Scarlet Sails"

The embankment has its own life, filled with a specific mood of tranquility, an unforgettable vacation by the Black Sea. The atmosphere of the ancient breath of the area is complemented by original architectural compositions, amazing proposals of landscape designers. Legends come to life in their creations, original elements that raise the mood appear.

Looking at the crimson sails fluttering under the sea breeze on a frame composition made in the shape of a ship, one cannot but recall the mysterious girl Assol. You can climb a 5-meter boat, stand at the helm and, peering into the endless sea, imagine yourself as a handsome prince (the brave Arthur Gray) from the story of Alexander Green.

From the side of the embankment, the boat is surrounded by another sea, a sea of ​​flowers. A flower ship is often called a composition that evokes the mood of romance, love, travels through the unknown seas. It has long become one of the symbols of the city.

Fountain "Pearl of Anapa"

Fountains with silver streams of water, ringing, singing, sparkling with multi-colored rainbows adorn many cities of Russia. It is difficult to imagine summer in a resort town without the magic music of the fountains. Especially here, on the lands of ancient Gorgippia, where there was a special relationship to water as a living being. There is no need to look for a beautiful fountain: you have to stand with your back to the sea, facing the archaeological museum and your gaze will freeze from the view of the imaginary pearls sparkling in the streams of water.

The fountain appeared on the embankment near the famous ship "Scarlet Sails" in 2015. There is no ordinary bowl-shaped element next to it that collects flowing water. It is a flat area with shiny mirrored balls (like pearls) fixed at different levels.

The bowl illuminated from below enhances the impression of a water-sculptural composition, symbolizing the worship of water. You can run and have fun through the fountain between six balls in magical streams of water. Children love to do this safely, filling the embankment with their joyful laughter.

Bald mountain

In the vicinity there are many interesting, beautiful places filled with the atmosphere of ancient life. One of them is the Bald Mountain towering over the sea. It was not always deserted. Excavations carried out on its slopes, the summit, have not yet revealed all the secrets to people.

Perhaps the mysterious Serebryanka river with healing water feeding the city of Georgippia will one day break out of the underground captivity created by man and again rush its waters into Malaya Bay, delighting the inhabitants. And again a huge grove of thickets of rare Pitsunda pine will turn green.

Bushes of special thyme will complement the green garment of the mountain. Now tourists rush to Lysaya Gora to see the remaining vegetation, to look at the marine surroundings. Hear the chirping of numerous swallows that have settled in their own town, Swallow's Nest, built in the rocks.

You can get to an interesting place by car to the village of Varvarovka. As a walk, it is proposed to walk along the beach to the stairs "873 steps". Go up and go in the direction of the mysterious balls belonging to the military base.

Bow cross

In the role of a symbol of victory over fascism, in honor of the 60th anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War, a huge concrete cross was erected, the largest in the Krasnodar Territory. Its height reaches 19 m, width is 8 m.

On both sides of the concrete cross there are bronze faces of the Savior. The memorial plaque speaks of the purpose of the creation of the cross. He personifies the victory of life over death, the reconciliation of the peoples of the Caucasus, the beginning of a new life in the Caucasus Mountains. A capsule is laid at the base of the cross.

It is supposed to be opened on the 90th anniversary of the liberation of the Kuban from the fascist invaders. The consecration of the cross took place in 2005 by Metropolitan Isidor of Yekaterinodar and Kuban. The project was supervised by the architect S. Slavinsky.

The cross is located on the territory of the village of Su-Psekh on Poklonnaya Hill. The monument is clearly visible from the road. It is easy to climb Poklonnaya Gora, pay tribute to the brave actions of the inhabitants, and wish the country a peaceful life. And, of course, admire the breathtaking views of the city and its surroundings.

Floristic sculpture "Dove of Peace"

On Teatralnaya Square, the flower composition "Dove of Peace" attracts special attention. The bird, symbolizing peace, freedom, joy, amazes with its snow-white color.

Cape Panagia

There are many ancient cities on our land forever hidden by seas and oceans. Elemental forces changed the landscape, mountains were born, seas appeared. In this place of the Taman Peninsula, under the water column, the secret of deep antiquity is also hidden.

As if it protects its natural monument near the Kerch Strait in the form of a cape, towering 30 meters above the sea. Taman land is considered an archaeological site of ancient civilizations. An ancient reef created from the fossilized skeletons of miniature marine animals, bryozoans.

In those days, there was still no man. Every year, the water erodes and destroys about a meter of rock, exposing ancient layers. Who knows, maybe subsequent generations will not be able to see the natural monument named after the image of Mother Panagia - one of the first saints of Christianity.

During the difficult war years, the cape was not only a natural monument. It housed artillery batteries that defended the Kerch coast. From the point of view of a beach holiday, this place is used in a wild version with tents.
