For those who want to escape to the Azov steppes, an excursion to Khanskoe Lake will bring quite a lot of emotions. Just a few tens of kilometers, an hour of time, and you will find yourself on the shore of a unique reservoir of its kind. It owes its formation to the shallowing of the Azov Sea. The retreating sea left the land with a gift in the form of a reservoir. The border is a narrow strip of land. The water level in the lake is also regulated by the Sea of Azov. During stormy periods, its waves overflow the isthmus and thereby replenish water supplies. In the summer months, when there is no wind in the area, the lake almost completely dries up, exposing deposits of healing mud.
Another place where you need to take an excursion is the Dolgaya Spit. This relatively narrow strip of land is the dividing line between the Sea of Azov and the Taganrog Bay. There are many more beaches here than in Yeisk. Almost the entire spit today is equipped with recreation centers.

- The symbiosis of late Baroque and classicism was at one time the most popular architectural style of the mid-late 19th century;
- The compactness of the city clearly reflects the evolution of its development through its architecture.
If the oldest buildings in the city are “buried” in the greenery of maples and walnuts, this is Yeysk. If parks smoothly turn into squares and squares - into parks - this is also Yeisk. If the city remains quiet despite the full house of vacationers in the central part, this is Yeysk.
