Summer is drawing to a close, but there are still many tourists from all over Russia and abroad at the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory. Each of the seaside towns is good in its own way, proud of its monuments, historical sights and natural beauties. Sometimes you can hear the question, which is better for a summer vacation, Vityazevo or Anapa.
The question, on the one hand, is complicated, because these two resorts are separated by only 11 kilometers, on the other hand, and there are many differences between them. Let's try to compare the beaches, treatment, entertainment of Anapa and Vityazevo to find the difference.
Vityazevo or Anapa - location features
The small and very cozy village of Vityazevo is located on the shore of the Vityazevo estuary. Because of this, the sea here is not very deep, it warms up well, and is quite clean. The Caucasian ridges are located a little further from the coast, the resort is surrounded by vineyards. Therefore, tourists sometimes have the feeling that they are resting on the Mediterranean, for example, in Greece. Such sensations also appear because the settlement was founded by the Pontic Greeks, their descendants still live on this land, preserving the traditions and way of life.
Anapa has long been on the list of leaders among the Black Sea resorts; it amazes beginners with its endless wide beaches covered with soft sand or small pebbles. The climate in this area is close to the Mediterranean, it is quite hot in summer, but this air temperature is easily tolerated, because the humidity is low.
Features of a beach holiday
Tourists adore Vityazevo precisely because of its comfortable, good beaches, which are suitable for children's recreation. But there are also problems, since the Central Beach is small, there are many vacationers, the sand may not be very clean, and mud appears in the water. Therefore, experienced guests of the village try to move away from the center of resort life, relax on the beaches of children's sanatoriums, in the absence of children. An alternative option is to get to the beach "Tortuga", the sea there is much cleaner, there are an order of magnitude less sunbathers, rides are complete, children's animators are working, offering searches for "treasures".
There are many different beaches in Anapa, you can find both sandy and small-pebble. Part of the territory belongs to adult and children's sanatoriums, boarding houses. Anapa beaches have a developed infrastructure, there are various types of water attractions, cafes, opportunities for sports games and entertainment.
Wellness and treatment
Vityazevsky estuary is rich in hydrogen sulfide mud, which is actively used in the treatment and prevention of a number of diseases. Mud therapy sessions can be obtained at local health resorts, beauty parlors of the city.
Thanks to the combination of unique healing factors in Anapa, the treatment of the guests of the resort is organized at the highest level. The seaside climate, sea water, mineral springs differing in the chemical composition of water, deposits of silt-sulphide mud act as "helpers". You can get treatment not only in sanatoriums, mud baths are taken right in the bosom of nature, the same applies to mineral water - there are 5 pump rooms for general use in the city.
Attractions and entertainment
The main entertainment of tourists in Vityazevo is a walk along Paralia, which is translated from Greek as "embankment". This is the main city boulevard, which stretches for almost a kilometer and goes out to the sea. Conveniently, there are many cafes and souvenir shops, as well as a dolphinarium and a water park.
Anapa, although not rich in monuments of ancient history, is still ready to demonstrate some sights, including:
- Russian gate, a preserved fragment of an Ottoman fortress;
- Gorgippia, a former ancient city, and an archaeological museum working here;
- valuable artifacts stored in the Anapa Museum of Local Lore.
There are other entertainments for guests in Anapa - an embankment with cafes and restaurants, many discos and nightclubs, open-air parties by the sea. Children and adults will remember the trip to the Utrish Dolphinarium for a long time.
Despite the fact that Vityazevo and Anapa are located in close proximity, rest at these resorts is fundamentally different.
Anapa for a summer stay is chosen by tourists who:
- want an active summer vacation;
- prefer to sunbathe on wide sandy beaches;
- do not miss walks along the evening embankment and get-togethers in cozy cafes;
- are going to improve their health.
