Anapa
Anapa is the largest family and children's federal resort in the Russian Federation. It is a year–round climatic, balneological and mud resort. Anapa is located in the southwestern part of the Krasnodar Territory, at the junction of the Greater Caucasus and the Taman Peninsula. The sea in Anapa is clean and shallow, which allows even the youngest children to swim. The resort includes not only the city itself, but also the surrounding resort areas: Blagoveshchensk, Bimlyuk, Vityazevo, Dzhemete, Sukko, Bolshoy Utrish. The best sandy beaches are Dzhemete, Vityazevo, Blagoveshchenskaya Spit.
Anapa is located on the northwestern coast of the Black Sea in southern Russia. It is a well-known balneological, mud and climatic resort.
The city is located 360 kilometers from Sochi, at the junction of the Taman Peninsula and the Greater Caucasus. The landscape of the wooded Caucasian foothills is replaced by green valleys, and the sea estuaries are interspersed with the Taman plains.
Anapa is a unique place for improving health. Along with guest houses, there are various boarding houses, Anapa sanatoriums and children's camps. This is the most suitable place for family and children's holidays.
The area occupied by Anapa belongs to the Mediterranean subtropical climate. The low mountains of the Caucasus do not allow air masses to rise, so precipitation in summer is rare here, it is almost always clear and hot. During the holiday season, which lasts from May to September, the water temperature is at a comfortable level of 24 degrees, and the air warms up to 30 degrees Celsius, which makes a vacation in Anapa very attractive.
In the cold season, anticyclones come here from temperate latitudes, bringing significant precipitation. The air sometimes cools to low temperatures uncharacteristic of the Russian Black Sea coast.
Anapa's beaches are known for their high quality and diversity. Unlike most other Black Sea resorts, there are both types of beaches here at once — sandy and pebble. The total length of the resort coast is 42 kilometers of sandy massif (embankment) and 12 kilometers of pebbly and rocky.
The shallow shoal of the coastal zone warms up perfectly in summer, creating comfortable conditions for swimming for both adults and children. There are therapeutic and central beaches in the city. Until recently, Anapa sanatoriums owned therapeutic beaches, so the entrance there was open only to sanatorium vacationers. All Anapa beaches are now free to visit.
The central beach of Anapa begins immediately behind the territory of the therapeutic beach. It is much larger in area, equipped with a pier, to which pleasure boats dock. The beach is fully equipped with changing cabins, sun beds with awnings, umbrellas, showers and bathrooms. There are storage rooms and rental points for beach equipment. Shops and cafes are located on the embankment.
Anapa's health resorts, children's camps, sanatoriums and boarding houses have their own beaches, which begin immediately behind the Central One and turn into the shell beaches of Vityazevo village and Blagoveshchenskaya village.
There is a shallow shoal for 50-100 meters from the shore, so these places are the most attractive for tourists who come to Anapa with children on vacation. This also led to the presence of a large number of children's camps in the Black Sea area of Anapa.
Many tourists purchase vouchers and tours to Anapa in health facilities. Treatment in sanatoriums and boarding houses can take place all year round, which allows people with various diseases not to postpone procedures during the warmer months.
