Anapa
This resort town is located in a flat area, there is not a single hill in the vicinity. The climate here is almost always comfortable, there are no unexpected temperature changes.observed.
It should, however, be noted that the weather can seem a bit chilly for toddlers who are at risk of catching a cold. Quite a strong wind often blows. But this does not stop parents who boldly go with their children to the Black Sea. Anapa, in their opinion, is the best place for a family holiday.
Sea and beaches
The sea here is shallow, so that the water level reaches at least the middle of the body, you need to go far enough. Parents, seeing this situation, believe that nothing threatens their children, and allow them to freely frolic and swim. The beaches here are different: there are both pebbly and sandy ones.
Infrastructure
It is noteworthy that the city's infrastructure is at a fairly high level, and it is focused mainly on children. The city has, for example, attractions and a huge water park. In addition, children have the opportunity to have fun right on the street, because there are slot machines everywhere. Motorbikes and cars are also available for rent.
There are so many opportunities for an interesting pastime that it's impossible to list them all! But most of all people are attracted, of course, by the Black Sea. Anapa became famous all over the country thanks to him. Perhaps there is no such person who would not have heard at least a little about this city.
Cinema and mall
Besides kids, there are a lot of teenagers in Anapa who prefer entertainment of a slightly different kind. Some can be visited several times during the holidaylocal cinema to enjoy an exciting movie. By the way, there are all conditions for people with disabilities - you can get into the building on a wheelchair of any size. Also noteworthy is a modern shopping complex, which was built recently. There is also a cinema and a large number of shops. It is difficult to say which city is more attractive in terms of shopping - Anapa or Gelendzhik. Both offer plenty of good shopping.
Housing
As for housing, there should not be any difficulties with this. There are many apartments and hotel houses for rent in the city, and there are also wonderful sanatoriums. To be convinced of this, it is enough to go to Pionersky Prospekt. It is literally full of children's camps, sanatoriums, rest houses, expensive and not very hotels. In a word, the city has everything that a person needs. Many tourists also note convenient passages and paths covered with even tiles. It is important that they are supplemented with ramps. Some are interested in which city is more comfortable - Anapa or Gelendzhik. In fact, there are many different opinions on this matter. Everything is determined by the subjective perception of a person. Some believe that Anapa is a thousand times better, while others argue that Gelendzhik is beyond competition.
Gelendzhik
If there are no hills in Anapa at all, then in Gelendzhik they are present. The climate here is also very comfortable, but unexpected temperature changes are not ruled out.
Sea surface is almost always herecalm and even, because there are mountains around, forming a cozy bay. This is a good place for those who want silence. Deep relaxation is possible here. The only thing that can spoil the impression is a small amount of dirt resulting from the closed space. The fact is that the water here is rarely replaced. The sea in Gelendzhik is deeper. You do not need to go far from the shore so that the water level reaches the very neck. The beaches at this resort are exclusively pebbly. Perhaps this is the answer to the question of which city is preferable for recreation - Anapa or Gelendzhik. In the latter, people simply have no choice, they are forced to relax on the same type of beaches. But in Anapa, the situation is completely different. This is her absolute advantage.
A paradise for outdoor enthusiasts
People who have ever visited Anapa note that the infrastructure there is better than in Gelendzhik. But it's still not that bad here. The city is famous for its wonderful embankment, where musical performances, competitions, and dances are regularly held. We can definitely say for sure that this resort is not geared towards kids. Mostly adults come here who like outdoor activities, designed for their age. There is also a lot of housing for rent in the city, which can be easily rented. But there are few resorts here. But there are private buildings, guest houses and hotels.
From the foregoing, we can conclude that it is better for couples with children to go to Anapa, and for young and mature people who want to have a good time, it is preferable to go to Gelendzhik.
Anapa: accommodation prices
Don't be mistaken, thinking that holidays in Anapa will cost less than other Black Sea resorts. But this does not mean that the tourist will go broke here. You can try to save money by coming here at the beginning of the season (from mid-May to early June), as well as in September or October.
During these periods, the lowest cost of living in the most modest rooms will be 250 rubles per day, while it should be borne in mind that a single tourist will have to pay double the price, because there are only double rooms. You can, of course, count on luck - it is possible that they will provide a small discount. But some people who come here without company find it more reasonable to sleep on the beach than pay for a double room.
Standard rooms
What can be said about the rooms belonging to the class "standard"? They are much more expensive, but they have all the amenities. This shower, air conditioning, refrigerator, toilet, TV. From early May to mid-June, rooms cost 400 rubles per day. But this is only if the guest house is located in close proximity to the sea. And when arriving at the peak of the season, you need to understand that you will have to pay more, more specifically - 600-1100 rubles per day. Of course, the cost is affected by the conditions of residence. Gelendzhik, which promises tourists many unforgettable moments, is considered by some to be a more affordable resort in terms of prices, but this opinion can hardly be called justified.
Food
