Recreation center "Magistral"
Krasnodar Territory is not only Russia's grain and vegetable granary, but also its tourist center. On the Black Sea coast of the region there are hundreds of recreation centers, campsites, sanatoriums and hotels. They receive millions of guests every year, providing treatment and relaxation for every taste. The recreation center "Magistral" is a great place for a relaxing and carefree family trip to the sea.

Mild subtropical climate, warm and clear sea, coniferous and deciduousforests, clear air and friendly people make Agoy a place to which you want to return year after year. The pride of the village is an amazing natural monument - a forty-meter sheer cliff of Kiseleva, which is located a couple of kilometers from Agoy.

From the Tuapse station, you need to walk 300 meters to the Tuapse bus station and take a minibus to Agoy, or any regular bus going in the direction of Gelendzhik or Novorossiysk.

Reviews

Thirdly, it is quiet in the village in the evenings, children and their parents who are tired during the day will be able to sleep peacefully.
Special praise deserves the friendly staff of the base, who strives to make the rest of visitors as comfortable as possible and quickly resolves all issues related to everyday life. Rooms are cleaned daily, split-systems installed in them help to escape from the heat of day and night. The food in the dining room is tasty and varied, the portions are large and satisfying.
The disadvantages of staying at the Magistral base include, first of all, the lack of an entertainment program, familiar among other crowded resorts. Many visitors who tune in to discos and an active nightlife are frankly bored in Agoy. But this problem is easily solved by a trip to Nebug or Tuapse. In addition, vacationers complain about the Novorossiysk highway passing through the village. Cars are constantly driving along it, which creates some noise and a danger to pedestrians. But the base is located away from the road, and its territory is securely fenced.
