But this does not mean that you will not be able to relax, because the Black Sea coast awaits guests! Today we will talk about rest in the resort village of Kabardinka. Reviews, photos and description of this place - all this awaits you in our new material.
History of the village
The first mention of the place where this amazing resort village is located today, archaeologists date back to the 7th-5th centuries BC! This is evidenced by archaeological finds that were discovered here in the 1960s of the last century. These were fragments of amphoras and various vessels in which merchants from Ancient Greece used to carry wine. In addition, traces of two small settlements were found on the territory of Kabardinka at once.
During the Caucasian War (1817-1864) Russia sought to become the sole master of the entire territory of the Caucasus andBlack Sea coast. The highlanders desperately resisted, and therefore the Russian authorities decided to build military fortifications. So, in 1836, the Kabardian fortification appeared here. Initially, it was called Alexandria, but at about the same time, Fort Alexandria was built in Sochi. Such consonance of names introduced confusion. Then Nicholas I issued an order.
Count A. I. Chernyshev - N. N. Raevsky. May 15, 1839 296262…
It was pleasing to His Majesty to command… In disgust of misunderstandings arising from the similarity of the names of the fortification of Alexandria and Fort Alexandria, call the first - Kabardian, and the second - Navaginsky. Consider that the name Kabardian was given to the regiment after the well-known Caucasian province of Kabarda, one of the first to become part of Russia.
When the war ended, Greeks and Armenians began to arrive on the territory of the fortification, who saw their protector in Russia. They populated these wild places, reviving them to a new life. So the pretty village of Kabardinka appeared here. The name, by the way, was officially approved for the settlement in 1869.
Transforming into a resort
Kabardinka grew incredibly fast. By 1872 there was a church, a rural school. By the end of the century, the development of the resort began - sanatoriums for children, recreation centers and boarding houses appeared in the village. Currently, about 40 he alth resorts, sanatoriums, hotels and he alth centers are ready to receive guests on the territory of Kabardinka. In the villagethe embankment has been reconstructed, various social programs are running. It is also important that monuments and art objects appeared here. Carnivals, concerts and festivals are held in Kabardinka.
Climate
According to reviews, the rest in Kabardinka is very long - it lasts from April to November. All this time, a magnificent pine grove and dense thickets of juniper enrich the air with essential substances and disinfect it. That is why people go to Kabardinka to improve their he alth: traveling here is especially useful for people with asthma or heart disease. The beaches in this place are covered with small pebbles, the water is warm - in summer it warms up to 26 degrees.

Rest in Kabardinka, according to reviews, has only one serious drawback - at the peak of the holiday season, there is nowhere for an apple to fall. The resort can compete in terms of the number of guests with such cities as Anapa and Gelendzhik.
Where to go: Old Park
Perhaps the main attraction of the village can be called the Old Park. It is a unique neighborhood of different eras and cultures, combining history and mythology with nature. In the Old Park you can see miniature copies of the Egyptian pyramids, chapels and temples, watchtowers, and sculptures. The Stone of Time is also located here, where vacationers take oaths. There is an art gallery in the heart of the park, where works by artists from all over the Kuban are exhibited.
Houseupside down
In their reviews of Kabardinka, vacationers recommend visiting the Upside Down House. From the outside, it may seem that a building standing on a roof ridge can be touched with a finger and it will fall. And inside, everything is turned upside down - visitors walk straight along the ceiling, and overturned refrigerators and upholstered furniture hang over their heads. The spectacle, of course, is amazing, out of habit, you can even lose your orientation in space and feel a little dizzy.
Glass Art Gallery
Another place in Kabardinka, according to tourists, that deserves special attention is the art glass gallery. There are three halls, each of which displays glass products that amaze the imagination: figurines and jewelry, dishes and decorative items, both transparent and colored.

It is spread out in the middle of a juniper grove at the foot of the Markhot Range. A mysterious legend about the love of the daughter of King Nereus for a warrior named Dmitry is connected with the appearance of this place. By the way, legends and beliefs are connected not only with this place, the whole history of the village is simply riddled with riddles and stories.
Kabardinka: reviews of the sea and beaches
What is a vacation without s alt water and beaches? recent,By the way, there are many in the village. We recommend that you do not limit yourself to relaxing on the central beach, which is usually crowded in July and August. We have collected reviews about the beaches of Kabardinka and prepared a list of the best for you!
On the border of Gelendzhik and Novorossiysk there is a spacious wild beach. It is not difficult to go down to it, tourists say, paths, trodden over the years, lead to the sea! Despite this, there are not many vacationers here. The entrance to the sea is rocky, the beach itself is covered with large pebbles. But the quality of sea water in good weather is beyond praise: the water here is incredibly clean, the sea is calm. Picturesque cliffs surround this wild beach.
Another wild beach is located near Cape Penai. In some places, the rocky shores approach the sea itself, but there are also sections of the beach where the rocks recede from the water by three to five meters. It is these areas that were chosen by connoisseurs of secluded relaxation. In reviews of Kabardinka, tourists also note the beach of the boarding house "Victoria". It is quite large - its length is more than 200 meters, and its width is about 20. The beach can be divided into two parts. The first is a well-maintained beach, the second is wild, where there are very few vacationers.
The well-maintained section of the beach is covered with small pebbles, lifeguards, a dive center and a cafe work here. For the convenience of vacationers there are locker rooms, toilets, sun loungers, showers. Children will enjoy the inflatable water slide. By the way, this place also attracts diving enthusiasts, because the sea here is crystal clear, crabs and small fish are found in its waters.
Beachboarding house "Kabardinka", according to reviews, is one of the best in the village. Its length is 250 meters, and its width reaches 70 meters! It is worth noting that the entrance from Revolutionary Street is possible only for those who have a rest in a boarding house. People "from outside" can only pass along the seashore. True, they will be met here by signs prohibiting passage. However, no one is following this, and therefore you can go here without fear. The facilities include sun lounger rentals, changing rooms, a lifeguard post, and awnings to protect from the scorching sun.
A forty-minute leisurely walk, at Cape Doob, is another wild beach. Previously, it was possible to get here through the Mayak camp site. Now this camp site does not work, and therefore it is possible to get to the sea only by roundabout (sometimes dangerous) routes. Overcoming all the difficulties justify the open sea with clear water, a pebble beach (two kilometers), large pebbles. High cliffs overgrown with relic forest hang over the beach. This beach fell in love with the "savages", they set up tents in those places where the gorges go to the shore. Sometimes you can meet nudists here.
