Agoy, Krasnodar region: holidays, hotels, tourist reviews

The small village of Agoy is located in the Tuapse region, just 10 km from the regional center. It is attractive to people who value a calm, peaceful holiday away from the noisy city and the bustle of a large resort. Immediately behind the village rise the Caucasus Mountains. The climate is comfortable, there is practically no rain in summer, and a cool breeze saves you from the heat. Agoy is popular due to its unique microclimate. Many come here to improve their health and restore their immune system.

Housing in Agoy is mainly offered in the private sector within walking distance to the sea. The resort is most suitable for families with children. The company of young people here will be boring. There are no clubs or discos in the village. The entertainment infrastructure in Agoy is poorly developed.

The sea in Agoy is the cleanest in Greater Sochi. This is due to active water exchange. Even at a depth of three meters you can see the stones at the bottom. The sand and pebble beaches of Agoy stretch for 11 km, the width of the coast is about 40 meters.

"Central" beach

The municipal or central beach of the village is located between the mouth of the Agoy River and the Chaika recreation center. There are two exits to the beach: one along Central Street, the second along Emerald Street along the Agoy River.

The length of the coast is about half a kilometer and the width is 40 meters. The beach is flat without large stones and boulders; sometimes there are small sandy islands, but mostly the shore is strewn with pebbles. Constant currents near the village of Agoy help purify sea water. Swimming here is especially pleasant. The swimming season opens in May and sometimes, in good weather, lasts until October.

The road to the beach passes through a small market where there are shops, cafes and bars. They also offer massage and peeling with Garra Rufa fish. From the beach you can see the well-known Kiselev Rock; you can walk along the shore to it.

At the beginning of summer there are still few tourists, so not all entertainment is available. Closer to July, when the influx of vacationers increases, a shooting range, massage and hydromassage parlors, attractions are opened on the beach, inflatable slides and trampolines for children are installed. Tourists can take a boat ride out to sea, ride a banana boat, catamaran, or water ski. To ensure the safety of vacationers, lifeguards are constantly on duty at the towers.

Market

From May to October, a large spontaneous market takes place near the beach of the village of Agoy. It is difficult to stay hungry here - fruits, drinks, and ice cream are sold. There are numerous cafes. In the evenings, some of them have music and even dancing, but there is practically no nightlife on this beach. Prices in cafes and canteens near the beach are much lower than, for example, in neighboring Tuapse, so the holiday can easily be budget-friendly.

The neighboring tents sell children's toys and inflatable rings, swimsuits and other clothes that may be useful on vacation. You can also buy souvenirs to remember your visit to the Krasnodar region. The assortment is wide and prices are reasonable.

Beach of the sanatorium "Avtotransportnik Rossii"

"Avtotransportnik Rossii" is a very popular Russian sanatorium. The buildings stand right on the shore and are close to the beach. There is paid guarded parking near the beach. The beach is large, clean and beautiful. Most of it is covered with small pebbles; the area for VIPs is covered with grass.

The beach is located in a small bay, on one side the beach is limited by an artificial embankment of stones, on the other by rocks. The beach is very well maintained and clean. Vacationers at the sanatorium are provided with umbrellas and sun loungers; other beach visitors can rent them. At the entrance to the beach there are toilets, changing cabins, and showers. You can take a break from the sun in a cafe under a shady canopy; there is a sauna on the beach.

Those who don't like to just lie in the sun won't be bored on the beach. The territory has water polo and volleyball courts, a boat station and a diving center.

Where is the village

Agoy is a village located in the Krasnodar region of the Tuapse region. The river of the same name flows here, which looks very beautiful in the photo in autumn. The city of Tuapse is located 5 km from the village. To the south, 100 km is Krasnodar.

The settlement has the following coordinates:

• 44°08′47″ N
• 39°02′14″ E

The highway connecting Tuapse with Novorossiysk passes through the village. Geographically, Agoy occupies the southern slope of the Caucasus Mountains.

From different sides of the world it borders with settlements:

• Nebug - from the north-west.
• Aguy-Shapsugom - from the east.
• Tuapse - from the southeast.

From Moscow you can fly by plane to Gelendzhik airport. Flights from other cities are accepted in Krasnodar and Adler. Then you can take a taxi. There is also a bus connection, but for this you will have to make transfers.

You can get to Tuapse by rail. There is a bus station 300 m away. Minibuses and buses depart from here to many destinations. Often their intermediate point is Agoy.

Beach of the recreation center "Chaika"

The recreation center is located right behind the Central Beach. The area is very well-groomed, the shore is pebbly everywhere. The descent into the sea is gradual and there are no dangerous stones or boulders in the water.

The beach is perfect for families with children. The water temperature in summer does not drop below +25 0C. There are no depth differences. The beach area is closed, but not only guests of the recreation center can relax on it.

You can hide from the sun on the beach under an umbrella or a mushroom. There are trampolines, slides and inflatable pools for children. There is also plenty of entertainment for adults. There are scooter and boat rentals. The safety of vacationers is ensured by rescuers on the towers and medical workers.

Climatic conditions, best time to travel

Agoy (photos of the village and the beach clearly indicate the coziness of the territory) is characterized by a temperate climate. For tourists, the optimal months to visit the place are July-September. It is during this period that there are the fewest rainy days, although in September precipitation begins to increase.

Characteristics of climatic indicators are presented in the table.

You can come here in June, but the water temperature at this time is 22 ⁰C, which is an unacceptable option for many tourists. In October, the ambient temperature already drops to 17°C. At this time it is almost impossible to swim.

As for the winter months, the air temperature here ranges from 5⁰ to 14⁰C. During this period there is a lot of rainfall. From March to May the temperature range is between 10-20°C. The number of rainy days is gradually decreasing and tourists have the opportunity to explore interesting places in the territory.

Beach at the Kiseleva rock

From the center of the village to the rock is a little more than 3 km. This place is very beautiful and popular among tourists. The rock got its name in honor of the artist who painted seascapes here.

The beach is located at the foot of the cliff, and a narrow path leads to it. The beach is completely wild, there are no amenities on it. This does not stop tourists, and the shore near the Kiselev rock is never empty. Fishermen often come to the beach in search of a good catch of fish and sea crabs. Swimming on the beach should be done with caution. There are many sharp and large stones at the bottom.

Federal highway during the holiday season

Before Krasnodar we encountered the first obstacle - traffic jams due to road repairs. I would like to note that tourists consistently encounter this problem every year. Dust, dirt, the strong smell of freshly laid asphalt - because of all this, it was impossible to open the window. The cars drove back to back, constantly honking. Only the air conditioner saved us from the sweltering heat.

We were stuck in traffic jams for two hours. We drove as slowly as possible. In addition, we managed to get stuck in a traffic jam in front of Krasnodar itself. Since we didn’t really know the road, we accidentally missed the turn onto the highway, driving into the city instead. It was no longer possible to turn around: cars surrounded us from all sides. As a result, we got stuck in all the traffic jams in Krasnodar and only after that found the way back.

Due to the road repairs, the junction was not visible - rather, it looked like a dirt road. For those who are planning to travel to the Krasnodar region for the first time, I would like to give advice: look in advance and remember this barely noticeable junction on the map. It was necessary to follow the signs for Goryachiy Klyuch and Dzhubga.

Finally, we drove through Krasnodar, and mountains began to appear on the horizon. My mood immediately improved noticeably. Even the air seems to have become cleaner. The Dzhubga sign convinced us that we were on the right road.

Pointer to Dzhubga

Now it seemed to us that all the traffic jams were behind us - only mountains and serpentine roads were ahead.

Local Attractions

In the village of Agoy there is an excellent beach, where until lunch you can sit in the shade under a rock, hiding from the scorching sun. It is located right behind the Neftyanik boarding house.

We also wanted to see at least a little of the local attractions, so every evening we went to the city of Tuapse.

Departure from the village of Agoy

Hero City Tuapse

Hello, Tuapse!

Tuapse is a truly beautiful resort town, which has a port, an embankment, and fountains. There is free Wi-Fi in the main square, and judging by the reviews, the Internet is quite fast. Tourists leisurely and even lazily walk along the embankment, children cheerfully run around - in a word, the evening life of the resort town is in full swing. I would also like to note that there are not very many tourists here.

Another local attraction is the ancient dolmens and Kiselyov rock. Dolmens seemed boring to me. I would like to tell you more about the rock. She is a real calling card of Tuapse. On the embankment, all you could hear from all sides was “boat trips to Kiselyov’s Rock.” It gained its popularity immediately after the famous fishing scene for the Soviet film “The Diamond Arm” was filmed there. Crowds of tourists dream of taking pictures near the rock.

We also succumbed to the general excitement, and therefore went to look at the rock. However, we decided to get there not by boat, but by our own car. We asked the locals for directions, looked up directions on the Internet, and immediately rushed to our destination.

The entrance to the rock is located between Tuapse and the village of Agoy. Having reached the barrier, we left the car and continued on foot along the mountain.

Road on the rock

Local residents told us that the descent from the cliff used to be very dangerous, but now it has been secured and strengthened. There is a wooden staircase here that you can safely go down.

View of the rock

The beach here is perfect - beautiful, cozy, uncrowded. A holiday here would be wonderful if not for one “but”. Every hour, the Irbis ferry moored near the rock, from which crowds of curious tourists get out and start taking pictures of everything.

This is, of course, a little annoying. However, they are given about 15 minutes to take photographs, after which they pack up and go back. After this, silence returns again.

Silence on the Kiselyov rock

However, we decided that the game was not worth the candle. The beach in the village of Agoy is no worse than the one located near the famous Kiselyov rock. We were especially amazed by the colorful sunsets.

Guest houses

According to reviews, guest houses are a very popular and sought-after accommodation option in Agoy (Krasnodar Territory). The choice of them in the village is quite large, and the prices for accommodation in them are sometimes more reasonable than in larger hotels.

If you want to find apartments closer to the sea, then you can pay attention to the Sea Breeze guest house, which is located on Tsentralnaya Street. Accommodation without meals will cost guests from a thousand rubles per day and more. The rooms are equipped with all amenities, furniture and appliances. Guests can eat in nearby cafes.

Guest house "Assol" is also located near the sea and offers apartments for two, three and four guests. The cost of a triple room per night starts from 3,600 rubles. There is also a café that serves buffet meals.

The private sector in Agoy can offer a variety of options, including cheaper ones. However, it is worth understanding that the level of comfort will be much lower, and the distance to the sea will be much greater. In general, in the village you can choose housing for every taste and budget, since there are many offers.
