When customers have decided on accommodation, it’s time to think about how to spend time on vacation. Suggest a few ideas offhand.

What to do at the resort and in the surrounding area

Anapa gold. The main attraction and value that has made these regions famous are the many kilometers of sandy beaches with dunes and dunes. They are good not only for sunbathing, but also for long walks. Children are delighted with this giant sandbox, adults are delighted with the open spaces for hiking and the beauty of the scenery at any time of the day (especially at sunset). In addition, local quartz sands have healing properties, as they are filled with many trace elements and minerals.

There are sandy beaches both in the center of the resort and in the surroundings — in the village of Vityazevo, in the village of Blagoveshchenskaya, on the Bugaz spit. The best beaches are Central beach, “Rodnik”, “Kavkaz”, “Tortuga”, “Felicita”.

Anapa antique + gastronomy. For curious tourists, advise to go to the archaeological museum “Gorgippia” — to dive into antiquity.

The museum is located at ul. Embankment, 4. During the season, excursions are held daily in 10:00, 12:00, 15:00, 17:00 and 19:00. The duration is only an hour and a half, no one will get tired, and the impressions will be vivid.

First, guests will find themselves in an open-air archaeological reserve, on the ruins of Gorgippia. This ancient city existed on the site of Anapa from the IV century BC to the III century AD and was part of the Bosporan kingdom. In the compact territory of the reserve, tourists inspect the pavements, basements of houses, wells, wineries and the foundation of the fortress wall, as well as monumental sarcophagi and fragments of temple architecture.

The second part of the tour takes place in the museum hall, where valuable archaeological collections are exhibited. These are marble sculptures, glass, ceramics and metal products, unique antique frescoes and much more.

After the tour, it’s nice to take a walk on the embankment. And you can also add interesting gastronomic experiences. There are several popular restaurants near Gorgippia. For lovers of Mediterranean cuisine, feel free to recommend La Veranda, where they cook under the strict guidance of Italian brand chef Paolo Lapolito. The Caucasian restaurant “Matsoni” also deserves attention. There is often a queue at the entrance, so it is better to book a table in advance.

Symbols of Anapa: a walk + a photo shoot. The route is for tourists who like to walk and take pictures.

The ideal starting point is the Anapa Lighthouse (Kirova str., 2). The octagonal brick structure has become a symbol of the city, it is emblazoned on many postcards and booklets. The lighthouse is located on the high shore of the Black Sea, offering beautiful views of Anapa and the surrounding area.

If you go to the right along the embankment from the lighthouse, then after 20 minutes of a pleasant walk, scarlet sails will appear in the distance. Another postcard view. The wooden ship seems to have sailed to Anapa from the story of Alexander Green and has been standing at the address ul. Embankment, 21. Creates an atmosphere of adventure and romance. Adults love to take pictures here, and children, of course, climb the ship and play pirates.

Very close to the scarlet sails is the park of the 30th anniversary of Victory (Gorky str., 1-a), a favorite vacation spot for tourists and residents of Anapa. Lots of greenery, attractions, cafes and restaurants, in the evening everything glows with illumination. It’s also nice to take a walk here and take some pictures for memory.

The final point of the route is the singing fountains on the square near the city administration building (99 Krymskaya Street). It is best to come here in the late afternoon, when light and music are woven into the water jets.

Ideas for families with children. Anapa is considered a children’s resort for a reason, there are many interesting things for young travelers.

In the city itself, you can visit, for example, the marine aquarium “Bathyscaphe” (Protapova str., 1). This is a pavilion where people find themselves in an underwater tunnel and watch the inhabitants of the depths of the sea, as well as the Kuban River.

For lovers of water sports, advise the Golden Beach water parks (2a Grebenskaya str.) and Tiki-Tak (38 Pionersky Prospekt). Children’s, family, extreme entertainment, animation programs… You can’t get the children out of there, the question is how long the parents can stand it. However, they will be able to recuperate in local cafes and bars.

And for dessert, there is another attraction of the resort that is definitely worth a visit: the Lion’s Head Castle in the village of Sukko. Yes, a knight’s castle, like a real one. An impressive building with a tournament field and a small arena, inner and outer courtyards, where there is a tavern, a shooting range, a blacksmith shop, a pottery workshop and souvenir shops. Large-scale jousting tournaments and performances take place here, and you can also celebrate a family holiday in the castle, such as a birthday or anniversary. It will be exciting and romantic.

Ideas for adults. If tourists are traveling to Anapa with a company of 18+, then they will most likely be interested in an excursion to Abrau-Durso, the homeland of Russian champagne. The journey will take a little over an hour, but it’s worth it. Vineyards, mountain tunnels laid back in the XIX century, acquaintance with the secrets of winemaking… And, of course, the tasting. A pleasant addition will be a walk to Lake Abrau, which in itself attracts tourists with the beauty of the water surface and the surrounding landscapes.

Another route for an adult company lies from Anapa to the village of Gorny, where the deserts of Theodosius of the Caucasus are located (also a little more than an hour away). At the beginning of the last century, a monk lived here, who became famous in the Caucasus for his foresight and the gift of healing. Pilgrims who want to visit the temple, chapel and collect water from the holy spring are now flocking to the deserts. Before leaving, you can visit the apiary, drink herbal tea with pancakes.

Outlines for other routes in the vicinity of Anapa: Lotus Valley, Bugaz Spit, Bolshoy Utrish Nature Reserve, Bald Mountain and swallow’s nests in the village. Su Pseh.

…

Here are just some places where it is interesting to go during the holiday in the velvet season. That’s probably enough for a couple of weeks. Tourists will return with grateful reviews and will love Anapa as much as it deserves.
