Everything is changing in this world, and tourists who have traveled to Turkey for many years in a row are forced to look for other resorts, closer to their native land. Therefore, their gaze turned to the Black Sea coast, the main question that worries many, which of the places to choose for rest. Tuapse or Adler, Anapa or Sochi - they are all good in their own way, each has its own positive and negative aspects.
Let's try to evaluate two resorts - Anapa and Sochi, one of them has always been positioned as a chic vacation spot for parents with children, the second - as a respectable resort for all categories of vacationers. What is the current situation, how did the Winter Olympic Games, held in Sochi, affect the options for summer pastime.
Anapa or Sochi - common advantages
The first thing that these two resorts have in common is the presence of airports, which significantly reduces travel time to your favorite hotel. The second positive point is that the airports are not located in the cities themselves, but nearby, that is, the planes take off and land not over the heads of tourists.
The third uniting point is the warm sea, which allows the bathing season to continue almost until October. In Anapa, the sea is warm, due to the fact that the descent is gentle and shallow, so it warms up well. In Sochi, the situation is the same for a different reason, there is a hotter climate, which contributes to the heating of sea water.
Advantages of rest in Anapa
It is not for nothing that this resort was positioned as a children's one, the first thing that all tourists note is the healing climate, Anapa is located in a zone of a semi-dry Mediterranean climate, so even high air temperatures are well tolerated by young tourists. Unlike Sochi, which is located in the so-called zone of humid subtropics. Therefore, in hot weather with high humidity, people with heart problems, aged tourists and children can experience difficulties.
The second important advantage of Anapa is sandy beaches, of course, this question is not for everybody, but many small travelers are forced to spend part of their time on the shore. On the sandy beach you can play, build castles and "bake" Easter cakes, just lie and bask in the sun.
The third important point, which is simply decisive for many tourists, is the cost of the rest. Prices are an order of magnitude lower than in Sochi, you can find quite affordable accommodation options, including guest houses and hostels. Of course, there are such options in Sochi, but their cost is higher. The same difference in price will be seen when visiting restaurants and amusement parks, concerts and sports facilities.
Benefits of rest in Sochi
The Sochi Olympics have made their own adjustments in all aspects of the city's life, there are, however, negative aspects, but there are clearly more positive ones. Among the disadvantages is an increase in the cost of recreation, this applies to housing, food, payment for entertainment. But there are clearly more advantages.
Firstly, the infrastructure has changed significantly, everything is clean, neatly the embankment of Sochi today resembles the best European embankments. A network of cafes, souvenir shops, places for recreation has been organized.
Secondly, places of entertainment for guests are perfectly organized - cinemas, theaters, museums, concert halls. Moreover, everything works both in summer and in winter, this is due to the numerous ski resorts that have opened in the vicinity of Sochi and operate in the cold season.
Thirdly, the hotel row has changed significantly. Now in Sochi you can find representatives of almost all world chains. There are many hotels with 4 * and 5 *, while in Anapa there are only a few hotels of this level.
The next advantage of Sochi over Anapa is good roads, along which you can move by various types of transport, including bicycles and rollerblades. The roads are wide enough, with almost no traffic jams, there are also special roads, for example, funiculars and electric trains.
Many tourists assure that nature in Sochi is much richer, therefore, excursion routes to natural attractions are quite often practiced, including Mount Agepsta and the Akhshtyr cave, in the forests of the Western Caucasus. You can walk around the territory of the national park, which is located within the city limits.
Comparing two resorts, Anapa and Sochi, we can draw the following conclusions, the first of the cities is chosen by tourists who:
- come on vacation with small children;
- dream of a relatively calm and inexpensive vacation;
- want to relax on sandy beaches with a gentle slope into the sea and shallow water;
- plan to improve the health of children.
Rest in Sochi is suitable for tourists who:
- loves luxurious rest in hotels 4 * and higher;
- prefers pebble beaches;
- loves exclusive entertainment;
- loves wild natural landscapes.
The last word rests with the tourist, who, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each of these resorts, will be able to choose his place of rest.
