Most often, tourists coming to Vityazevo do not even suspect that this Black Sea resort is valued not only for its spacious beaches, sea and various hotels. There is a lot to see here from architectural, cultural and other attractions.

The village is part of Anapa, so there will definitely be somewhere to go on an excursion. Interesting religious, military and historical sights are collected here. Entertainment can diversify your beach holiday at the resort, as there is something for every taste.

Paralia Boulevard

This place is considered the pride of the city. Guests and residents of Vityazevo love to stroll here. The whole street is a landmark. Almost all buildings on Paralia Boulevard are made in antique style. When people come here for the first time, they imagine that they are vacationing in Greece or Rome.

The total length of the street is about 1 km. The central entrance is decorated with a colonnade. There are 12 elements in it. At the top is the inscription "Paralia". Walking down the street, you should pay attention to the sculptures of ancient Greek warriors. Sometimes they look very funny against the backdrop of sales tents.

Very often the boulevard is called an embankment. But this is not entirely correct. The embankment should stretch along the sea, and Paralia adjoins it perpendicularly. Throughout the street there are trading stalls, souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants. So you won’t be able to walk without noise and fuss. But that’s the beauty of Paralia.

Church of St. George the Victorious

One of the attractions of Vityazevo (photo) is located far from the bustle of the city. This temple was opened in 2011, and since then services have been held regularly there. But his story began long ago.

The first chapel was built on this site in 1827. Over time, it collapsed from old age, and the Greeks who moved to Russia erected a church. In 1935, an active struggle against religion began in the country, so the temple was completely destroyed.

In 1994, new construction began with the help and resources of local residents and the Greek community. From afar, the modern Church of St. George the Victorious amazes with its beauty and “airiness”. The building is made in white, symbolizing purity and submission before God.

Semicircular steps lead to the temple, which seem to raise the building above the surface of the earth. The roof has several levels. A belfry with eight sides is built on it. The sound of bells during services reverberates throughout the city.

On the mosaic facade there is an image of St. George, who nailed the serpent to the ground with a spear. The interior decoration is quite restrained, the walls are also painted white, which adds space and cleanliness. In the room, columns support the vaults. In general, the design style is characteristic of Greek churches. This direction of architecture is connected with the history of Vityazevo, where Greeks have lived since ancient times.

On the territory of the temple there are buildings painted white and blue; the stylization is typical of Greece. In Vityazevo, such tones are characteristic of many public buildings and private houses.

Wine estate of the old Greek

Valery Aslanov has Greek roots. For many years he was considered the main winemaker of the region. Valery decided to start producing wines of his own brand. A cellar built in 1857 is reserved for this process.

Here during the Second World War, residents hid from bombings. Now, under the leadership of Aslanov, it was restored, and the building began a “new life”.

Inside, the walls depict scenes of the development of winemaking in ancient times. Here you can see how invited Greeks cultivate the land and plant vines. Then they collect the first harvest and make wine, after which, satisfied and with a sense of accomplishment, they sail home on ships.

It was winemaking that became the reason for the resettlement of many Greeks to this area. They came to work and stayed here, raising their families.

Wine is kept in oak barrels in the cellars. This method is considered traditional. Wine reveals its flavors and aromas precisely in contact with wood. And drinks are produced in accordance with modern technologies.

You can take a tour of the winery and taste the drinks. Such tours are offered by special companies in the city.

Mud springs

Many tourists come here to visit the mud springs while on vacation in Vityazevo. Attractions of this type are located in several places.

The most popular is located 70 km from the city, opposite the estuary. On the inactive Tizdar volcano there is a special place where mud emerges from the depths of the earth. Scientists have studied their composition many times and came to the conclusion that the soil mass contains a huge amount of microelements. Mud also has an antibacterial effect.

People from all over the country come to Vityazevo to cure diseases:

• nervous system;
• vascular-cardiac;
• skin

Many women bathe in Vityazevo mud with the hope of realizing their most cherished dream - to become a mother. Such procedures help to get rid of infertility.

The second place where there are therapeutic muds is the estuary. Here you can also take medical treatments. You just have to remember that for beginners it’s better to just cover yourself with mud for the first time, and not go into it completely. On hot days, the temperature rises to high levels, and the tourist can get burned.

Black Sea

An entire street in the city can be considered a landmark of Vityazevo. The resort's most expensive hotels are built on it. Popular restaurants and entertainment complexes are located here. But Chernomorskaya Street gained fame for a completely different reason, thanks to buildings built in the Greek style with columns and sculptures supporting vaults and interfloor ceilings.

Walking through this area, you might immediately think that you are taking a walk somewhere in ancient Egypt. From Chernomorskaya you immediately exit onto Paralia Boulevard, where you can continue your excursion.

Memorial near the temple

Visiting Greeks have lived in Vityazevo since ancient times. They repeatedly suffered from reprisals and reprisals. Not far from the Church of St. George the Victorious there is a memorial dedicated to the residents executed during Stalin’s leadership of the country.

More than 150 names are immortalized here at the memorial. Most of the dead were Greeks. The memorial looks like a black house divided into two halves. One contains a window and a candle burning in memory of the victims, and the other contains a list of names.

Every year on May 19, Greeks come here to also honor the memory of their murdered ancestors, who were killed by the Turks from 1914 to 1923. Over the entire period, 382 people were injured.

Park "Byzantium"

In Vityazevo, attractions and entertainment are concentrated almost all in one place. Near the entrance to Paralia there is the Byzantium Park. The most popular and modern attractions are concentrated here.

The park provides entertainment for both children, teenagers and adult tourists. A special feature of the complex is an attraction called “Labyrinth of the Minotaur”.

When you get here, you can meet the Gorgon Medusa. On her head instead of hair there are hissing snakes, and huge claws on her copper hands make even the bravest visitor worry.

In the process of finding the way to the exit, you can meet many heroes from ancient Greek scriptures, and also get acquainted with the culture and architecture inherent in the country of that era.

Waterpark "Olympia"

This landmark of Anapa and Vityazevo is loved by residents and tourists of the city. The water park is also designed in the style of Ancient Greece. At the entrance, guests are greeted by figures of warriors. The attractions were given the names of Greek cities and heroes.

There is a restaurant on site serving traditional cuisine of this country. Inside there is an amphitheater depicting scenes from the life of the ancient Greeks. Opposite it there are sun loungers for relaxing and sunbathing.

The water park provides entertainment for small and adult tourists. For example, in the Hades complex (named after the underground kingdom of the dead in ancient myths), vacationers can experience a set of emotions and feelings corresponding to the name of the attractions.

The most extreme slides are collected here, the height of which reaches a 7-story building. Only the bravest and bravest tourists dare to climb here, eager to get the missing portion of adrenaline during the descent.

Dolphinarium and Oceanarium

Where to go in Vityazevo? An attraction that the whole family would enjoy is the local dolphinarium. Here in the summer they give 5 performances a day.

The Dolphinarium is located in the open air, and the dolphins jump as high as possible during the show. At the end of each performance, the animals themselves draw pictures, which are auctioned among the audience. For an additional fee, you can take pictures with dolphins and even swim.

What to see on excursions in Anapa and Vityazevo? There are a huge number of attractions, one of them is the oceanarium.

It is located in the same building as the dolphinarium. There are huge aquariums in which various representatives of the underwater world live. In a small pool you can touch and feed tame carp, see a huge stingray, a large turtle and even several species of sharks.

Maria, her husband and one-and-a-half-year-old daughter visited the Vityazevo resort in August. This article contains her experience of organizing family holidays and leisure in the village, a selection of places to stay, tips on saving and planning.

August is rightfully considered the best time to relax with children. We decided to check if this is true.

On the plus side this season:

• The water in the sea is warm and does not cool down until early morning.
• The sun is no longer as scorching as in July, and spending time outside is much more comfortable, especially for a child.
• There are a lot of vacationers with children - the child will have company. This is what happened for us: one-and-a-half-year-old Nadya “became friends” with neighbors in rooms from one to five years old.

Of the minuses August:

• The water in the sea is blooming and already quite dirty. Unfortunately, most tourists do not consider it their duty to take their garbage and scraps to the trash can, and bottles, corn cobs, watermelon rinds, and cigarette butts end up in the water. Of course, all this is removed, but the impression is spoiled.
• There is a lot of algae on the shore, they are also removed, but they manage to accumulate within a day. The child was very afraid of them.
• The water smells bad as a result of the bloom. But this is perceptible only to people with a good sense of smell. Most didn't smell it.

Accommodation

Vityazevo, in my opinion, is a very inconvenient village for a resort area. It is somehow absurdly elongated, with an inconvenient location of public buildings and shops.

Houses in the immediate vicinity it is not close to the sea.

go to the beach at best 15-20 minutes. A double room at this distance costs from one thousand to five thousand, depending on the availability of parking, a swimming pool in the yard, and a toilet and shower in the room.

At worst, you'll have to take a minibus the same 20 minutes, or even half an hour. A double room will cost from five hundred rubles to two thousand.

We spent half a day driving around the village looking for housing. They offered us everything - from luxurious three-story mansions with excellent renovation, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a microwave in the room and such infrastructure that you didn’t have to leave the yard (shop, swimming pool and cafe on site) to rickety sheds, where the furniture included a bed with an armored mesh and a rickety plastic table, and the door is locked with a hook.

We settled in a 20-minute walk to the sea on the third floor of a home hotel. Shower and toilet are on the floor, as well as a kitchen with two stoves and dishes.

A big plus is that smokers were allocated a place outside the yard in order to smoke without disturbing anyone, and the owners stopped smoking in the house, on the balconies and in the yard.

The road to the beach goes through the market. Everything is sold there - from clothes to ready-made food. And they prepare food right here in the market. Therefore, on the way from the beach, like it or not, you breathe in the smells of all these “fresh kebabs” and “delicious lyula”.

The table contains accommodation options for a family of two with a child (an extra bed will be required for a child) in July 2018 - from the most budget to the luxury level. The price is per day.

Food: cafes, canteens, shops

We cooked breakfast at home. Products were purchased from local stores. Their prices were not much different from the prices in our city (we are from Rostov-on-Don). Some are cheaper, some are more expensive. Price range up to ten rubles.

On the way to the beach there are several inexpensive snack bars, cafes, and canteens. You can dine on three courses (first course, second course with side dish and salad) and drink from 500 to 2000 rubles per person. We took half the portion for the child; the waiters and sellers were always loyal to this. On average, it cost us 600-800 rubles per adult and about 200-300 rubles per child.

Dinner was bought at ready-made food kiosks or barbecued or baked potatoes. Grandma bought dairy products for dinner at the store and fruit at the market. For our daughter, we either took ready-made baby food such as purees and porridge, or prepared it ourselves.

Beach

There is only one beach in the village. Infrastructure is practically non-existent. It’s good that there was a wooden flooring all the way to the water, because it’s uncomfortable to walk on deep hot sand.

The trash cans are somewhere at the very beginning of the beach. I had to carry all the garbage with me.

Advantages of the beach:

• Sand. We adults prefer pebbles, but my daughter enthusiastically played with mold toys and built castles.
• The sea, even at a decent distance from the shore, is very shallow. Again, it’s inconvenient for adults, but it’s just right for a child. You can splash freely and we were not afraid that after a few steps the depth would begin.
• Availability of sun canopies.

Disadvantages of the beach:

• The beach is not located along the edge of the coast, but goes out to the sea in a long, wide wedge. Very long! As a result, there is no room to squeeze between towels and sun loungers near the water, and the beach is not at all full. Who wants to splash around in the sun for fifteen minutes to swim, and then go back to their things.
• Due to the fact that the beach is not wide, the swimming area is also small. During “rush hours” (10-12 o’clock) we poured water into the children’s inflatable pool for my daughter so that she would not be trampled into the sea.

Leisure

There is nothing to walk or see in Vityazevo itself. There is also nothing to entertain the children with.

In fact, there is still something in Vityazevo - we have described in detail all the attractions and entertainment. But, compared to Anapa, there really isn’t much.

We drove (fortunately, we have our own car). We visited the dolphinarium and mobile zoo on Pionersky Prospekt.

The only place suitable for walking is the Parallia embankment. One of the children's entertainments on it is a Ferris wheel. That's all.

Having nothing better to do, we bought tickets and sat in a booth with our daughter. In vain, she was terribly scared and sobbed all the time while the wheel was turning.

Then we didn’t even walk past this carousel in order to injure it.

We spent the evenings in the courtyard of the home hotel. The hotel owner equipped the courtyard with a children's playground with swings, ropes and rope ladders.

The roads there are completely unsuitable for mothers with strollers. The sidewalks are narrow and high; the school sometimes had to be lifted by hand because there is no smooth descent. The stroller interferes with passers-by; they cannot get around it, since they will have to go down from the sidewalk onto a rather busy roadway.

When you go on vacation with your child, you should definitely take a first aid kit with you. Medicines at resorts are expensive, antipyretics are three (!) times more expensive than at home, and antivirals are five times more expensive.

My daughter, unfortunately, got sick. We waited for an ambulance when we called for a temperature of 39 C in a one and a half year old child from 17 to 23 hours.

The next day at the local outpatient clinic they refused to see us under our policy, saying that there was no pediatrician. But after paying for the appointment, the pediatrician was found and accepted us, advising us to go home and get treatment there. For an additional fee, he prescribed an antiviral.

What should you take with you when traveling with a child?

• Medicines for the child (check the list with your pediatrician)

Antipyretic in suspension or syrup (if there is no refrigerator, the candles will melt, and it is inconvenient to give the tablet to the baby) - paracetamol, nurofen;
- Antiviral in syrup - cytovir;
- Enterosorbent in case of food poisoning - enterosgel;
- In case of diarrhea and vomiting - syrups of appropriate action - stopdiar and motilium;
- Hemostatic agent (dicinone in ampoules) and materials for dressings (bandage, cotton pads, adhesive plaster),
- Hand sanitizer and bactericidal wet wipes.

• The child needs a lot of drinking water on the way for a walk. Just water, not juice or milk.
• Quick snack.

For babies - puree in jars or soft bags, vegetable or fruit. On the road, milk, meat and fish purees are poorly tolerated.
- For older children - vegetables, fruits, whole grain bread, but not chips, crackers or other snacks.

• A set of spare clothes within minutes, including underwear and shoes. A baby can wet himself or relieve himself more seriously on the road, and any child can become sick to the point of vomiting.
• Toys (large so that they can be easily found and picked up), a coloring book with a pencil attached (for older children, the pencil may not be tied), new or, conversely, favorite books with bright pictures.
• A terry towel on the seat and oilcloth under the sheet, even for toilet-savvy children. New surroundings and the stress of travel can dull the feeling of urges.

Classmates

We vacationed in Vityazevo at the beginning of September 2017 as a family with two children (4 years and six months). I want to say right away that we structured our vacation as follows - 4 days in Anapa itself, 6 days in Vityazevo. In Anapa we lived in the Petrostil guest house, the owner was Julieta. A room with air conditioning, a refrigerator and a TV, a shower and toilet in the room cost us 2000 rubles (for three people), breakfast included. Breakfast was very poor, we left feeling hungry. The room was not cleaned even once during the 4 days we stayed. Furniture includes two single beds made into a double bed and a collapsible chair-bed for a child, a small wardrobe for clothes, a table with a mirror and a small floor refrigerator, air conditioning. During our 4 days in Anapa, we rested on the Central Beach (I’ll say right away, it’s a terribly dirty sandy beach, a lot of algae on the shore that no one cleans up, the sea stinks of this rotting algae). We had to wade deep into the sea through floating algae to swim. The children were afraid of algae floating in the water. The guest house is located right in the center of Anapa, you can rent baby strollers. On the territory of the guest house there are tables under a canopy and chairs, the children's playground includes a plastic swing for children under 3 years old and a slide for the same age + a plastic house. In the center there is a singing fountain, an amusement park, and all kinds of entertainment. We visited the house with the children upside down (the house is upside down), ordered a portrait of the youngest child (by the way, an A3 size portrait in pencil cost 500 rubles. In Koktebel 2 years ago they paid 5,000 rubles for a family portrait of a slightly larger size). We took the children to the exotarium, rode the carousel, and visited the Nemo Dolphinarium (by the way, I highly recommend it - it was impressive). The children and I went to the market to buy fruit, 5 minutes from the guest house. You can also buy fish there for those who like it. The guest house is well located in this regard. I liked Anapa itself only for its infrastructure, the beach is disgusting. In 4 days we visited everything we wanted and found interesting with our children. But for 6 days of stay in Vityazevo the picture is completely opposite. We lived at the Dolce Vita Hotel, Yuzhny Avenue 7. The very center of Vityazevo. It’s 15 minutes to the sea with two children, slowly going through all the tents and taking pictures with statues of Greek gods, walking through Paralia. A stroller for a small child is included with the hotel service. We used strollers for free and with pleasure. By the way, the sea is clean!!! There were no algae at all - I can’t even believe it when compared with Anapa. The beach is more like a wild one with sand dunes, very wide. There were always sunbeds available. The sea has a smooth immersion and is quite long and shallow, which is a plus when vacationing with children. The children splashed in the sea with pleasure, even on days when there were huge waves (they jumped on the waves with their daughter). We vacationed in Koktebel 2 times and both times we caught an intestinal infection, since the sea is still dirtier, although the beach is clean and pebble. While vacationing in Vityazevo, everything went without illness. 3-bed room without a balcony (ground floor) with all amenities - 2300 rubles per day (TV, air conditioning, excellent interior, refrigerator, excellent furniture in the rooms - a double Euro bed and a single single bed for a child). The lack of a balcony did not bother us at all; we dried things on the street on clotheslines. The only thing was that we had to close the window in the evening when we went to bed (it was noisy by the pool), but with the air conditioning this disadvantage was not felt. Breakfast was not included, which was nice after Anapa))) The hotel has its own dining room, prices are very reasonable, the menu is varied. The hotel has its own store and its own cafe where you can order sushi and pizza. The pizza is delicious and thin. There is a heated swimming pool and a full-fledged children's playground on site. And what is VERY important when vacationing with children, every other day there are 20 hours of animation for children. This allows adults to relax carefree on the open terrace located on the roof of the cafe and enjoy VERY tasty kebab cooked in their own kebab shop and night views of Vityazevo. And there is something to see in the evening! The whole of Paralia lights up with all kinds of illumination in the darkness. You can also take part in an animated show with your children. Animations are in no way inferior to Turkey and Egypt. Comparison rooms were cleaned every day. By the end of your stay at this hotel, you could take home a whole suitcase of toilet paper if you wanted. They brought a roll every other day, even if it was not needed. The bed sheets were changed every day and the room was cleaned. The staff is VERY responsive and inviting. We went to the sea every other day because it was impossible to get the children out of the pool. The pool has a children's area and hydromassage. Along the perimeter of the pool there are sun loungers and chairs for those who want to sunbathe. As you exit the hotel gate there is a tent selling boiled corn, nuts, fruits and vegetables. Everything you need for a comfortable family holiday is within walking distance. The cost of food in the cafe varies, it all depends on your desires and preferences. The price starts from 200 rubles. We were very pleased with Vityazevo, we recommend it to all our friends and relatives. This year we are going there too, Dolce Vita is waiting for us! !! This year we are planning to visit the water park. We will go in September with a slightly larger group. By the way, the hotel has a free transfer from Anapa train station. We also left in a car ordered by the girls at the reception, but at our own expense))) In general, we had something to compare with and were pleasantly surprised by the service of the Vityazevo hotel.

We vacationed in Vityazevo in the summer of 2017 with my husband and 1.5 year old child. We really liked everything! We went to eat at the buffet, it was much cheaper than eating in regular cafes, and what a delicious meal! And the hotel was good, not far from the sea, and the price was reasonable compared to neighboring hotels. We are thinking of going again this year.

• I read the review and what immediately caught my eye was that everything was far from the sea. it is not true. We have been vacationing in Vityazevo for 3 years now, this year will be the fourth. There are hotels on the first line, just open the map and look, we, for example, relax on Golden Sands Street - it’s 2 minutes to the sea at a leisurely pace with children and a stroller.
  I really like the village itself, the sand is gorgeous, they clean it twice a day, I personally observe this every year. And everything you need for relaxation is in the village; you don’t have to travel anywhere to go to a water park or a dolphinarium, for example, unlike in similar villages on the coast. But at the same time, this is not a big resort city like Sochi, Gelendzhik or Anapa itself, there are fewer people, a large beach. In general, we like it there and recommend it to all our friends and relatives)

• We visited Vityazevo three years ago with a friend and children. Before this, my friend vacationed there twice. You can get to Anapa by minibus - I liked that the minibuses have air conditioning. We lived a 10-minute walk to the sea in a private sector. I liked everything, except the beach, indeed, as they wrote above, there is nowhere for an apple to fall. You can’t lie on a blanket - in two minutes your mouth and nose will be full of sand, as they practically walk on their heads. On the plus side: there is an amusement park and an excellent water park.

  We had a family vacation in August in the village of Vityazevo. On the plus side, I can note the large sandy beach; this is an excellent option for a holiday with a child. When we were resting, the sea near the shore was blooming and everything was covered in algae, but if we swam further it was clear. We lived in a private sector and it took us 20 minutes to walk to the sea, but we love walking and this is not a problem for us. While walking to the sea, we passed many different tents with souvenirs. We were in season, so there were a lot of people on the beach, but there was no feeling that there was nowhere for the apple to fall. On the beach there are many different slides for children and a lot of entertainment, for example you can ride a banana, etc. I recommend a holiday in Vityazevo for families with children and on a small budget.

  I had a good holiday in September. We traveled like savages, that is, we only bought train tickets and wrote out a bunch of mini-hotel phone numbers. The station is very strange, at the entrance there is a queue to scan things, but walk around 2 meters and you will pass calmly without any scanners. At the station there are a lot of private traders who shamelessly charge a huge amount for a taxi. We got there by regular minibus. The central beach left a feeling of dirt, but between the fenced-off camps there are passages to their beaches, which were empty at quiet times; we had a great time relaxing there. We lived in a cottage, rented a room, there was a swimming pool in the yard, it cost 3,000 rubles for 4 days for 4 people, although we cooked it ourselves. If buying food near the beaches is incredibly expensive, it was cheaper to go to any canteen - fortunately there are a lot of them there and you can eat in peace. And in the private sector, where we lived, prices were already acceptable. True, the assortment of local stores was very strange. It’s a great place to relax with kids; if you’re not traveling during peak times, it’s quiet. calm, friendly. I am pleased

• We were in Vityazevo in 2008, at the end of May - beginning of June before the official opening of the season. I am with my eight-year-old son and a friend with a one-and-a-half-year-old baby. The sea was not yet blooming, the water temperature for us northerners (and we are from the Far North) was quite normal. My eight-year-old son did not want to get out of the water. They built sand castles, buried themselves in the sand, and swam. I taught him to swim in a small pool at a hotel (more precisely, a guest house). There was nothing to entertain the child there, of course. Local businessmen have installed an inflatable slide and a child is sliding into the mini-pool. Ten minutes - fifty rubles for that money, pure ruin. We went to Utrish and saw dolphins. The food was provided at the guest house, in its own cafe, prepared well by a female chef, and everything was always fresh. It was important for us. The air conditioner in the room worked. It saved us, the heat was intense. We went swimming in the sea early in the morning and in the evening, and spent the day in our room. Not particularly impressed, we won't go there again.

  My husband, my 4-year-old son and I went on vacation to Vityazevo in the summer (August) of 2016. We rented a room in a private house. It took 10-15 minutes to get to the beach. The memories remain unforgettable. This simple village by the sea has such chic architecture! The sand is warm and soft. The only thing I didn't like was a mayonnaise packet floating in the sea after a small storm. Otherwise, I liked everything. By right, Vityazevo can be considered a children's resort. All conditions for children are fully created, only the amusement park and water park are worth it! Our son really liked and remembered the resort. I think we will go there again in the near future.

• Last summer we vacationed in Vityazevo with my sister and schoolgirl niece. We lived in the private sector, rented a room in a private house, accommodation in this format is relatively inexpensive. The house is well-equipped, the room is large, the only drawback was the long road to the beach. So those who lived in hotels near Paralia benefited: it was close to the beach and there was somewhere to go for a walk in the evening. We liked the amusement park, the child rode almost all of them. In many ways, relaxation depends on your mood - if you just lie on the beach during the day, and in the evening wander around the village or sit at home, then you are unlikely to enjoy your vacation. Besides, there really is nothing to do in the village itself. And there really are a lot of children here. Vityazevo is rightfully considered a children’s resort and many bring their children here for treatment, especially with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Unfortunately, the blooming sea really spoils the impression; perhaps you should go early, in May-June, while the water is clear.

  It seems to me that Vityazevo is a very good option for a holiday with children, and for adults you can easily get to Anapf. We lived in Laguna, and overall everything was fine. It’s good that even Russian resorts, let’s say, of the second circle, already offer all the benefits of civilization with all their might, such as wifi and transfers from airports and train stations. One of the downsides, perhaps, would be the presence of a bunch of children - one got sick, and it spread to everyone. In Sochi, many people are afraid of rotavirus, something similar happened in Vityazevo last year, but we arrived in August and found it all just from the reviews of other vacationers

  I was in Vityazevo for the first time 12 years ago, I was 18 years old then... at that time, it seemed to me that this place was a paradise (I myself am from Siberia) and one view of hanging vineyards, trees strewn with cherries and apricots amazed me! I thought it was very clean and beautiful! And with these memories, my husband and 3-year-old son went on vacation in 2015. My daughter was 1.5 years old at that moment, we left her with her grandmother, which I never regretted! It’s very uncomfortable there with kids, they can really get trampled on the beach... it’s very difficult to keep an eye on your child in this crowd, you definitely need to be nearby. We also vacationed in August, and it was even disgusting to go into the water, there was a huge layer of greenery on the shore. On the third day of arrival, the child fell ill, a strong cough began at night (we often have laryngitis, sometimes only an injection helps) they called an ambulance, they immediately told us that we would have to wait a very long time, they advised us to come ourselves, so we did, they provided us with help, even without policy, gave me an injection and gave me some medicine to inhale at night, which I was very grateful for.
  The only thing I liked was the accommodation, which I found myself and booked in advance on the Internet, a homely hotel with a swimming pool, and that’s where we spent most of the time. Also, my son and I were delighted with the dolphinarium! There are no special attractions for children in Vityazevo Park, but for some reason there is a lot of money left there) I liked the water park in the village, everything was done very well for children!
  But in general, I don’t want to go there anymore, it feels like a huge bazaar, dirty sea and an anthill on the beach!

Calm, quiet and comfortable resort town of Vityazevo, only 15 kilometers away from Anapa. We'll tell you what attractions you can see here.

The settlement stretched along the Vityazevsky estuary. The sea waters here are clean and shallow, due to which they warm up to the optimal temperature. Vineyards along the coast create a Mediterranean atmosphere.

Despite its small size and little-known name, Vityazevo is able to surprise tourists with nature, excursions and entertainment.

Kato get there
