Subtropical exotic, friendly people, an abundance of four- and five-star hotels - only the first stroke in the description of the Black Sea coast of Russia. Absence of necessity registration of additional documentation upon entry makes this territory in the eyes of Russians much more attractive overseas recreation places.
Black Sea coast on the world map
The Black Sea coast of Russia is located in the southwest of the country. From the north, the border of the region runs along Perekop isthmuswhich connects Crimea with Ukraine. The coastline stretches for 1200 km along the peninsula and further south up to the border with Abkhazia in Adler.
During the Soviet Union and over the past decade, the region's infrastructure made a decisive leap forward in pursuit of prominent resorts around the world.
On the territory of most of the Crimean Peninsula moderate temperatures prevailand only on the extreme southern coast is the northern loop of the subtropics.
About 44th parallel continental Black Sea region divided by the Caucasus Mountains into zones of temperate and subtropical climate.
The temperate zone extends from the Taman Peninsula to... The continental climate here is influenced by the sea, therefore this region is generously warmed by the sun in summer and is free from winter frosts.
The northern arm of the Caucasian ridge borders the subtropical zone. Dry subtropical climate dominates the territory from Anapa to Dzhubga (Tuapse region). In summer, the area is often exhausted from drought, and in winter it is irrigated with rainfall.
High temperatures prevail from May to October, and then give way to mild winters. From Tuapse to Adler is located the northernmost zone in the world humid subtropics with an even distribution of precipitation over the seasons.
In the subtropical zone of the Black Sea, 25-degree summer heat gives way to mild winter with a temperature slightly above zero.
Average temperatures range from 23 degrees in summer to zero in winter.

Russia
The resorts of the Russian Black Sea region are represented by 2 regions with some distinctive features and similarities.
For instance:
- Krasnodar Territory occupies the coastal strip of the Black Sea with a length of over 400 km, and includes the following resort settlements:
- Sochi with suburbs (Adler, Khosta, Lazarevskoe, Loo);

In the resorts of the region, you can not only enjoy a beach holiday, but also go in for mountain tourism, visit ski resorts, improve your health with mineral water and therapeutic mud in one of the many sanatoriums. Due to the large length of the coastline, the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory are distinguished by beaches and climatic conditions.
Sandy beaches are mainly concentrated in the north of the coast, from Anapa and higher. Mixed sandy beaches with gray sand and pebbles are found in Dzhubga, Lermontovo, Tuapse. An artificial beach with yellow sand was developed in Sochi. The beaches of other resort towns and villages are mostly pebbly.
On the northern coast, up to the city of Tuapse, there is a Mediterranean climate zone, and south of Tuapse - a subtropical one.
The resorts of the northern Black Sea coast are protected from the cool air masses coming from the continent by the ranges of the Caucasus Mountains, so the climate in this zone is predominantly dry and the winters are warm. The high tourist season is considered to be the period from June to September, when the air temperature fluctuates around + 25 C, and the water warms up to + 23 C.
From October, temperature indicators begin to decrease to + 17 C in the daytime, but the sea is still warm (+ 17 C). Winters in the Mediterranean are cool and dry.

The cost of living on the Black Sea coast starts from 1 thousand rubles. per person with double occupancy, no meals, and from 3 thousand rubles. when staying on the "all inclusive" system.
Many tourists are wary of the mentality of the local Kuban population, considering the residents to be withdrawn and inhospitable, shying away from strangers. But this myth was debunked back in the Soviet years, and the Kuban residents are no different from the inhabitants of other Russian cities.
The crime rate on the Black Sea coast is quite high, as some port cities have long been used by criminal gangs to sell counterfeit goods. The safest resorts according to statistics are Gelendzhik and Tuapse. The Crimean peninsula is washed by the Black Sea from 3 sides; the length of the coastline reaches 750 km.
