We invite you to choose the village of Golubitskaya. There are a lot of attractions and entertainment here, so you won’t get bored. The once small settlement, named after the centurion Golubitsky, is gaining momentum in the tourism service every year. New modern guest houses are appearing here, cafes and shops are opening, interesting leisure facilities are being built for big and small tourists. We offer a brief overview of the most interesting sights of Golubitskaya Stanitsa, as well as reviews of them from Russian tourists.

Location

For those who have never been to these places, let us explain that the village of Golubitskaya is located on the narrow isthmus of Peresyp in the Krasnodar Territory. The isthmus is a spit on the Taman Peninsula. In the area of ​​the village its width does not exceed 2 km. It separates the Sea of ​​Azov from the Akhtanizovsky estuary. While relaxing in Golubitskaya, you can choose to go to the beach located in the Temryuk Bay of the sea or to the estuary. This geographical feature is a unique landmark of Golubitskaya. 8 km from the village is Temryuk, a city with a rich history and interesting sights. You can get there by minibus or bus. Travel time is up to 10 minutes. Anapa is 55 km from Golubitskaya, and Krasnodar is 143 km away.

Basic moments

The village is located on the Golubitskaya Strelka, a hilly isthmus separating the Akhtanizovsky Estuary and the Temryuk Gulf of the Azov Sea. Since the end of the 18th century, the village has grown around the farm of the Black Sea Cossack Grigory Golubitsky, who became famous in the battles of the Russian-Turkish war of 1787-1791. Grigory was in the first ranks of soldiers who stormed enemy fortresses, and more than once went on sea voyages on Cossack “seagulls”, which boldly boarded enemy ships. For his bravery and courage, Prince Potemkin promoted the Cossack to officer and gave him land on the Taman Peninsula.

Today, more than 5,000 people live in the village of Golubitskaya. Most of the adult population is associated with the developed hospitality industry. Many private estates rent out separate rooms equipped for receiving holidaymakers. Mini-hotels, amusement parks, and cafes and restaurants have been built in the village. There are several beaches here, and there are rental points for bicycles, pleasure boats, beach and sports equipment.

In the surrounding area, vineyards belonging to the Golubitskoe Estate winery are planted on 1,600 hectares. The vines grow in unique soil, rich in minerals from the emissions of mud volcanoes. Excursions are organized to the central estate of the winery. There is a tasting room and a shop with a large selection of fine wines.

Beaches of the village Golubitskaya

The sea coast near the village of Golubitskaya is covered with sand mixed with pieces of mollusk shells. These fragments are mostly ground and rolled by the surf, but there are also sharp fragments of shell rock. To avoid minor cuts, you should buy beach shoes.

The central beach of the village is equipped with attractions, and there are cafes everywhere. In addition, there are several beaches belonging to boarding houses and holiday homes. Entrance to them is open to everyone. The sea here is shallow and warm, the coast is flat. The water temperature at the edge of the beach in the summer season is +23...+25 °C, often the sea warms up to +27...+28 °C. You can swim from mid-May to September inclusive.

Natural attractions

On warm summer nights, the waters of Temryuk Bay sometimes fluoresce. Already at sunset, the sea seems to be illuminated from within with a mysterious emerald glow and the surf is decorated with myriads of flickering lights rising from the depths. Algae and microorganisms emit wonderful light. They say that the glow of the sea can be seen from the windows of airplanes flying over Taman, and even from space. On such magical nights, you should definitely take a romantic swim, and you can take absolutely amazing footage with high-resolution smartphone cameras.

In the estuaries opposite the mouth of the Kuban and its numerous branches crossing Taman, sea water is largely desalinated. A special ecosystem characterized by biodiversity has developed here. Having thrown their fishing rods from the boat, experienced fishermen will be surprised to catch river fish from the sea: pike, bream, carp. Moving out to sea a little further from the shore, you can admire schools of smiling dolphins hunting nimble mullet.

After strong storms in the waters of the Sea of ​​Azov, long sandbanks form near the coast, where you can swim and sunbathe. But one morning you will no longer see them: the waves wash away these islands within a few days. By the way, after storms, many gobies appear near the coast. Catching fish for dinner is not difficult, and you can use not only a fishing rod, but also just a mesh net.

Within the village of Golubitskaya there is a mud lake of the same name measuring approximately 500 by 200 meters. This is the crater of an old mud volcano. Its depth does not exceed one and a half meters, the bottom is dense, and the slopes of the funnel are gentle. Tourists and locals take mud baths here. Doctors recommend these procedures for the treatment of joints and skin rejuvenation.

Another natural phenomenon is observed in the Golubitskaya area. Once every few years, a mud volcano erupts in the sea bay opposite the village. At the same time, tremors of a local earthquake are felt on the coast. Underground gases erupt from the seafloor under high pressure, creating a fountain of liquid soil ejection. This pulp rises 30-50 meters into the air. A cone-shaped island grows at the site of the eruption. Waves gradually erode the clay formation, saturating the water with healing substances. The short-lived island disappears into the depths of the sea, but after 6-8 years the process is repeated, and the shaky firmament is reborn. However, scientists have not yet been able to predict the next eruption.

Excursions

The Taman Peninsula is small, so tourists vacationing in the village of Golubitskaya can access any of its attractions within an hour's bus ride. It will be convenient to use the services of private guides offering excursions. They will take you to the most interesting corners of Taman. If you wish, you can explore the surrounding area in your own or rented car.

At the Golubitskoye Estate winery you will be introduced to the secrets of wine production. Tastings are held here, and the wines you like can be purchased in the company store.

An excursion trip to the ethnographic village of Ataman, where Cossack farmsteads and craft workshops have been recreated, will be memorable. Theatrical performances are held there and folklore ensembles perform. The visit program also includes a delicious lunch at a Cossack tavern, where dishes are prepared according to ancient recipes.

Not far from Atamani there is an archaeological location “Hermonassa-Tmutarakan”. The ruins of a Greek polis from the ancient era, as well as the remains of structures from the times of Ancient Rus', were excavated here. Valuable artifacts found by archaeologists are displayed in the showcases of the museum in Temryuk.

The most vivid impressions will be left by a trip to the Lotus Valley. In the famous valley you will see not a land lowland, but a sea estuary with gently rolling hills. The surface of the water is covered with large green leaves, reminiscent of malachite dishes with a pearl-matte sheen. It seems that you can step on them and walk from shore to shore. Above the magnificent green “sidewalk” rise stems with buds and lush blooming flowers, some of them the size of a football. Fragrant petals are painted in a palette of cream, pink, and red shades. The lotus bloom lasts 35-45 days, and this miracle happens, as if by order, just at the peak of the resort season in Taman - from July to August. You cannot pick rare flowers; they are listed in the Red Book. Don’t even try to secretly break the taboo: nature itself will gently punish you. The plucked lotus will sadly wither in a few minutes, and the mood will be ruined. Before your trip, don’t forget to charge your smartphone to take a wonderful photo session here.

It is curious that Indian lotuses have difficulty taking root in neighboring bays and eriks. Fastidious plants require a special climate and water composition, a weak current, a shallow depth of a warm reservoir, loose silt saturated with certain minerals, covering the bottom. Hydrobiologists have repeatedly tried to create new lotus plantations here, but after a few years the plants died: the young shoots were choked by the thickets of reeds and sedges. Only this estuary with its unique ecosystem turned out to be a suitable reservoir for lotuses. By the way, in our country you can admire these magnificent flowers, growing freely in nature, only on the Taman Peninsula, in the reserve near Astrakhan and in the Far East.

The walk to the Lotus Valley begins from the pier of the boat station in the area of ​​the village of Peresyp, which is 12 km from the village of Golubitskaya. From the local bazaar to the pier you can walk, take a bus or taxi. Motor boats are designed for 12-15 passengers. When all the seats are filled with tourists, the boat sets off. While waiting for the next group of excursionists to gather, you can while away the time - usually 10-15 minutes - under a canopy that protects from the Kuban sun. There are benches and a TV on. For an hour-long walk along the estuary, the boatman collects 500 rubles per person.

Direct bus services to Golubitskaya are organized from Krasnodar, distance – 150 km, travel time – 3 hours.

Sea

Of course, 100% of Russians go to the sea in the summer for a beach holiday. We can say that the main attraction of Golubitskaya is the beach. Its covering is sand and small shells, which is convenient for vacationers with children. On such a beach, children always have plenty of material to build “fortresses” and bake “cakes.” Another pleasant feature of the beach is that the seabed here is almost perfectly flat, sandy, clean, without boulders, and the depth does not begin immediately. This is an ideal place to relax with young children.

The beach also has its drawbacks. Firstly, it is narrow, so it is difficult to find free places during the season. Secondly, it is poorly equipped. According to reviews, toilets and changing cabins have not yet been built here, nor has a rescue tower. The service is organized by annoying traders of all sorts of things and entrepreneurs offering water entertainment in the form of banana boat rides, jet skis and so on.

The entry into the sea here is quite uniform, the surface goes down everywhere at the same angle. In some places it is so shallow that there are excellent spaces for children's pranks. Little ones will have fun even without little beads: at one end of the indicated coastal edge there are attractions, at the other there is a point for rides on bananas and “tablets”, swings.

At the end of the zone you will find a coastal shack and a side street leading to the Anna State House, the Kuban and Breeze health centers, as well as to the main building of the Gidrostroitel health resort.

It is worth paying attention to one more circumstance. There are already a few trees growing on the shore

Akhtanizovsky Estuary

This body of water is called by many the most beautiful place on the Taman Peninsula. It can safely be called a natural landmark of Golubitskaya. The estuary is freshwater, since water enters it from the Kuban River, and not from the sea, although it is, figuratively speaking, two steps away. The reservoir has its own ecosystem. The coastal cattail thickets are home to many birds, which are very interesting to watch. For fishermen, the estuary is a dream. The reservoir is home to bream, pike, carp, tench, catfish, perch, ram, silver carp and many other fish. True, to catch it, you need to have a boat. Note that this is a fairly large body of water. Its maximum length is 18 km and its width is 8 km.

Excursions and tours of the village

Visit the mud volcano Hephaestus

The Taman Peninsula is famous for the fact that there are more than 30 volcanoes there. Only from them it is not hot lava that erupts, but liquid and various gases containing hydrogen sulfide, bromine, and iodine.

Volcano Hephaestus is considered the oldest, which is used for mud treatment. The fact that local muds have healing properties has been known since ancient times. With the help of such procedures, radiculitis, polyarthritis, pyelonephritis, and diseases of the nervous system are effectively treated.

The first medical institution of the Taman Peninsula was opened near the mountain called “Rotten”. This establishment has a balneological profile. A military hospital was opened here in the 60s of the 19th century.

These days, local authorities are trying to make good use of the Hephaestus mud volcano. Perhaps Mount Rotten will once again become a popular place in the Temryuk region. Comfortable conditions are created for visitors. Each group of tourists is met by a guide. He leads them along the alley to the mountain. Where the mud volcanoes are.

Mud Lake

This is another unique natural site in Golubitskaya. The lake is small, its surface is only 250 m2, and its maximum depth in spring and winter is up to 2 meters. In the heat of summer it is reduced to 1.4-1.5 meters. That is, a tall person can easily reach its middle. The lake has very high mineralization, and the entire bottom is covered with healing black silt, rich in minerals. Hydrogen sulfide, iodine, and bromine were found in it. It is incredibly popular among tourists. Dozens of people take free mud baths here every day. In addition, dry mud can be bought in the village and brought home. It is packaged in 2 kg bags.

Amusement park "Park of Wonders"

In the "Park of Wonders" there are carousels for every taste. The most visited are:

"Sky Vortex." This attraction quickly gained popularity. Ten years ago it could only be found in large cities, but now it has “reached” such small resorts as Golubitskaya. “Sky Vortex” is a huge moving tube in which a tornado, galactic rotation, and so on are simulated. The effect is created through “gravity games”, as well as visual and sound effects. By buying a ticket to Sky Vortex, a tourist will provide himself with sensations that are impossible in real life.

Dino Park. Fans of Jurassic Park should visit the park of “live” dinosaurs. The moving figures of Tyrannosaurus, Diplodocus and Liopleurodon are created with maximum authenticity. They growl, open their toothy mouths, exhale noisily and blink. A tour of the dino park is not only entertaining, but also educational. Here children will learn all about the creatures that lived before the beginning of time.

"The Giant's House" In this pavilion, even the tallest man will feel like a baby. The bath easily fits a dozen people, the powder compact resembles a closet, and you can’t climb onto the chair without help. It's no wonder people come here for impressive photographs.

Trampoline arena "Grasshopper". The only trampoline hall in the Temryuk region. The large-scale complex is equipped with trampolines of all difficulty levels: from professional to children's (safe).

Game simulators. The amusement park has a separate complex entirely dedicated to computer games. Gamers can expect modern game consoles, slot machines and good old games: bowling, claw, water pistols, air hockey. A child can “hang out” in the playroom all day and will want to come here again.

These are just a few of the attractions of the “Wonder Park”. To visit all the carousels, tourists will have to spend more than one day. But they will never regret it.

Selfie park “Wonders of the World”

Everyone dreams of being photographed against the backdrop of the world's most famous landmarks. And you can make this dream come true without leaving Golubitskaya. In the selfie park, tourists will see:

Alley "Lukomorye"

In 2022, a vacant lot overgrown with grass was turned into an alley of magic. The walking area is enclosed by a decorative fence with lanterns. There are benches along the paths, beautiful gazebos built, and bridges across the lawns - everything is made of light wood.

On the alley there is a summer stage, a cafe, a swimming pool with swan boats, a shooting gallery, a planetarium, and also a children's carousel. A special atmosphere is created by animators dressed in costumes of knights, princesses and cartoon and movie characters.

Adorable creatures can sit in the arms of tourists. In addition, beautiful little birds live in this room. The excursion leaves a very enthusiastic and vivid impression. The farm is also located on Kurortny Boulevard.

Tips for Preparing and Saving

Some tips from experienced travelers:

1. Be sure to take a first aid kit with the necessary medications. Despite the fact that there are pharmacies in any locality, they are not always within walking distance and have the necessary assortment. On vacation at sea, you need to take antipyretic, antiallergic medications, as well as medications for intestinal infections.
2. Don't forget the Compulsory Health Insurance policy for yourself and your children.
3. But sand toys and inflatable floats can be purchased locally so they don't take up space in your luggage. There is a wide selection and good prices for these products.
4. Take a multicooker if you travel by car and plan to cook on your own, it is very helpful.
5. Baby food for babies, diapers and other hygiene products can be bought at Magnit or pharmacies.
6. Do not buy food on the beach from vendors who walk around with bags and offer corn, fish, and baked goods. Often these products become the cause of intestinal poisoning.
7. When booking privately, for example, through Avito, do not make an advance payment if you are not sure of the integrity of the owners of the proposed housing.

What will help you save on your vacation?

• Plan your vacation outside of high season. May, June and September are the most suitable months for saving your accommodation budget. The choice of accommodation options is greater, and the prices are lower. A bonus will be a small number of vacationers.
• Prepare your own food. This will save your wallet from unnecessary expenses, and sometimes save you from troubles in the form of intestinal poisoning.
• Buy products in large stores, prices there are much lower. But it is better to buy fruits and vegetables at the market, there is a large selection of local products.
• Buy plane tickets several months before your trip. The nearest airport is Anapa, a 40-minute drive from the village. You can estimate the cost of tickets for the dates you need in the calendar below (prices are given for a round-trip ticket per person. Click on the desired month to see a breakdown of prices by date):

If you have not yet chosen where you will live and want to save money when booking, we recommend using the RoomGuru service. Firstly, it contains hotels, apartments and guest houses from many different booking systems, so you won’t miss out on a worthwhile option. Secondly, you can immediately compare prices for one place in different services and book where it is cheaper (this is not always Booking!).

Farm with crocodiles

This is another place in Golubitskaya that you should definitely go to. In fact, this is not a farm, but a small zoo, designed in the shape of a volcano. Not only crocodiles live here, but also other reptiles, as well as arachnids, various overseas insects, monkeys and exotic birds. In addition, the farm has a pen with rabbits, goats and chickens, with which children are allowed to frolic. Adults understand the purpose for which they are kept here, but children do not think about it. They are just playing with cute animals.

The farm is located at: st. Sovetskaya, house 149. Opinions about this establishment are mixed. Tourists like the design of the farm and the diversity of its inhabitants, but many feel sorry for the monkeys, who look rather sad.

Beach

The beach in Golubitskaya is public and consists of fine sand and shells. Children really like it, as it is easy to build various “structures” for play from it.

The bottom is also pleasant for swimming and does not require special shoes.

On the beach you can rent umbrellas and sun loungers, or sit right on the sand.

Guests are offered a variety of water activities - catamarans, jet skis, trampolines and water slides.

In the cafe on the beach you can buy soft drinks, ice cream and everyone's favorite boiled corn.

Golubitskaya has a narrow beach coastline, so the concentration of people is quite large:

Although, this applies more to the central part of the village, where the main hotels and recreation centers are concentrated.

On the outskirts of the village you can quite comfortably stay on the beach, but there is no infrastructure or entertainment there.

"Lukomorye"

This is the name of the zoo, located at the address: st. Embankment, 1a. Both children and adults vacationing in Golubitskaya visit the Lukomorye Zoo with great interest.

There are a lot of animals and birds here. They all live in spacious enclosures in which conditions are created that are close to their natural habitat. There is an area in the zoo with predators. Here you can see lions, Himalayan bears, wolves, tigers, foxes and other animals. There are even very rare white tigers and black wolves here.

The zoo also has areas with monkeys, artiodactyls, reptiles, and rodents. Many animals (not dangerous) can be fed with food that is sold on the zoo premises specifically for this purpose. Anyone can pet the animal, and even take a photo with some of them.

An entrance ticket for adults to the Lukomorye Zoo in Golubitskaya costs 500 rubles, and for children over 5 years old - 400 rubles. Visitors have different opinions about the zoo. Most tourists consider it an excellent place to visit with children, where they can take care of animals and learn to love them.

Amusement park and circus

Among the entertainment for children in Golubitskaya, I would like to highlight a park with various attractions located on Kurortny Boulevard.

This is one of the most fun places where kids can frolic all day long. There are several inflatable trampolines, swings, carousels, a Ferris wheel, roller coasters, and mazes. Prices vary from 50 to 150 rubles. Mostly people come here in the evening when the heat subsides. In the park you can not only ride, but also have a snack. There are several cafes here. There is a circus tent next to the park. There are different troupes performing here. The entrance ticket costs 200 rubles.

Best time to relax

The village has a warm, moderately humid climate, suitable for the health of children. Quite comfortable temperatures for relaxation are established in May and last until October. The shallow sea warms up towards the end of spring, and you can swim in September.

The sun shines all summer, but due to the proximity of the sea, the street thermometer in Golubitskaya does not exceed +30 ºC. The early start of the season and the child-friendly climate played a role in the growing popularity of the village among family vacationers.

Aquapark

The most visited place in the station. Golubitskaya - Amazon water park. This facility is located at 76 Kurortnaya Street. The park is small, there are only three adult slides and one for children, but there are several swimming pools. There is also a cafe on site. The water park hosts foam parties and other entertainment events. The entrance ticket for adults costs 850 rubles, and for children under 1.30 m tall and over 3 years old - 450 rubles.

Opinions about the water park vary. Some tourists like everything here. Others note the small number of slides, lack of shade, poor selection in the cafe, and too high prices for the services provided.

Accommodation

In the village of Golubitskaya, you can choose various accommodation options depending on your budget and expectations from your vacation. Let's look at the pros and cons of each option.

Hotels and Inns

Pros:

• Availability of a swimming pool
• Availability of a playground, children's club and animation
• Your own dining room on site - there is no need to resolve the issue of food every time
• Proximity to the beach

Minuses:

• High price

Guest houses and apartments

Pros:

• Availability of a bathroom in the room, unlike campsites
• Shared or private (in apartment) kitchen
• Low price compared to hotels

Minuses:

• Often far from the beach

Camping and recreation centers

Pros:

• Usually located right on the beach
• Availability of a shared kitchen and barbecue
• Low price

Minuses:

• Shared showers and toilets
• Lack of air conditioning

Private sector

The private sector is essentially ordinary apartments. They have a kitchen and toilet, but no service.

Advertisements from private owners can be found on special websites, for example: https://hochu-na-yuga.ru and https://azur.ru, and read reviews there.

You can look for offers for renting apartments and rooms on www.avito.ru, but here it is important to make a very informed decision, as there are cases of fraud. It’s unpleasant to transfer a deposit, and upon arrival to find that such an apartment did not exist, and the seller’s phone numbers do not answer.

A selection of budget options

If you want to find accommodation on the spot, most likely you will find it - the Vacation Accommodation Service, which now has points in every resort town of the Krasnodar Territory, will help you with this.

But it is better, of course, to book in advance. Below is a small list of verified accommodation offers in the village of Golubitskaya (based on our experience and reviews) with prices for June 2022:

We chose to stay in the Guest House on Vzletnaya Street. But, it must be said that it is better to choose a vacation spot and book in advance, since the resort village is small, but very popular. We, who arrived without a reservation, had very limited choice.

Dinopark

You should definitely come here with your children. This park features moving and roaring dinosaur models that you can touch. Some even allow you to climb ladders.

In addition, there is a so-called petting zoo, which has a small pen with a dozen rabbits, a play park and exotic birds kept in small enclosures.

Dinopark is located at: st. Embankment, 3. Entrance ticket for adults costs 400 rubles, and for children 300 rubles. Opinions about this entertainment facility vary. All visitors like the fact that the park has sun canopies. Another plus is that the dinosaur models can be touched with your hands. Disadvantages include an unkempt play park and poor conditions for keeping rabbits and birds.

The most popular resorts of the Azov Sea

Yeysk

This is the main resort and the most crowded vacation spot on the Sea of ​​Azov. The air gate is also located here - Yeysk Airport. The city is surrounded on all sides by water, as it is located at the very end of the Yeisk Spit. There are several beaches, all of them are sandy or small pebbles - very useful for foot massage. There are specialized beaches for children and youth. They differ in the depth and length of the gentle entrance to the sea. The sea in the Yeisk Estuary is generally ideal for young children: shallow, shallows alternating with islands and depressions. On the children's beach, the maximum depth does not exceed one and a half meters. The entire shore is strewn with kids of different ages, carefree splashing in the water.

There is something to do in the city besides a beach holiday. There is a water park "Nemo" (prices 2022 - from 700 rubles for children and from 1200 rubles for adults), there is an oceanarium, parks with children's playgrounds and attractions, a children's center and a crocodile farm. Of course, at the resort, even if it is an unofficial “children’s” health resort, there will be entertainment for adults: clubs, restaurants, saunas and all other sources of pleasure are at your service.

Temryuk

The second most popular resort on the coast, where tourists successfully combine healing mud treatment on the Miska and Gnilaya mountains with tastings at a local winery. The city itself is not located on the seashore - the nearest beach in the village of Golubitskaya is at least 5-10 km away. People often come here from other villages: to walk around the city, visit the market (by the way, don’t hesitate to bargain and reduce prices), and also visit the famous mud volcanoes. Fridge magnets and local wine are usually brought from Temryuk.

Taman

This is one of the most ancient cities in the country - in 2008 it celebrated its 2600th anniversary. A seaside holiday here can be combined with exploring unique sights. The beaches of Taman are varied, you can also find secluded places. An endless stream of vacationers flock to mud volcanoes. The main thing is not to overdo it - doctors recommend taking mud baths for no longer than 15 minutes.

Strange house

If you are interested in what to see in Golubitskaya, we suggest you visit the Upside Down House. This building is located on Kurortny Boulevard. Entrance costs 400 rubles. Everything in the house is upside down - chairs, tables, beds are attached to the ceiling, and there are lamps under the feet. The facade of the house and the surrounding area are decorated very interestingly. Impressions about this attraction are twofold. Some people like it for its novelty and unusualness, while others think that 400 rubles for 15 minutes in the house is expensive.

Where to stay

A map of attractions will help you “orient yourself to the area” and choose a hotel or apartment. It is worth saying that everything is not limited to the central beach: many guest complexes have their own beaches. This is how we rested:

The territory is fenced, has its own swing and its own access to the sea.

On the hotel map you can choose a suitable option at a price that starts from several hundred rubles!!!

Or you can stay in the private sector. By the way, using my link you can get a discount of 2100 rubles for booking accommodation in Golubitskaya .

Ostrich farm

As you can see, there are so many entertainments and attractions in the village of Golubitskaya that tourists never get bored. However, there are many interesting places in its surroundings. One of them is an ostrich farm located near the village of Za Rodinu. On the farm you can see not only fleet-footed African ostriches, but also other animals. Essentially, it's a small zoo. It’s called “Zoological Estate”. Raccoons, flop-eared Vietnamese piglets, fine-wool sheep, squirrels, and raccoon dogs live here.

There is a cafe in this wonderful zoo where you can taste dishes made from ostrich eggs. An interesting feature of the “Estate” is that there is a stand on its territory where tourists can write their wishes. The entrance ticket costs 250 rubles. You can get to the village of Za Rodinu by minibus from Temryuk, or by private vehicle from Golubitskaya itself.

Lotus Valley

This natural site is located on the Akhtanizovsky Estuary, which we described above. The fact is that on the banks of this reservoir there are several settlements at once - Temryuk, Za Rodinu, the village of Akhtanizovskaya, Peresyp and Golubitskaya. The Lotus Valley is located closer to Akhtanizovskaya. It is more convenient to get there by private car or with a tour. You need to go to the pier in the village of Strelka, and then by boat.

Volcano Hephaestus in Golubitskaya

When you come to the village on vacation, it is impossible not to visit the mud volcanoes located in its surroundings. Hephaestus is the most popular among holidaymakers. It is located not in Golubitskaya itself, but 15 km from it. Those who have a car can get there on their own. Paid entrance. The ticket costs 300 rubles. People without a car should buy a tour to the volcano. In this case, a ticket can cost 400, 500, or 600 rubles, which depends on the appetites of the company organizing the trips.

Volcano Hephaestus is locally called Rotten Mountain. In fact, it is located on this mountain. Hephaestus is an almost flat plateau of frozen mud with a diameter of about 500 meters. There are several cones and lakes filled with very thick mud. Some of them are equipped with stairs to make it more convenient for tourists to go down to take a bath. There is also a small fresh lake on the plateau in which people can swim after the procedure.

War monuments and memorials

Looking at modern Golubitskaya, in which every day is a holiday, it is difficult to believe that she was going through difficult times. The Great Patriotic War swept over the village like a black shadow, leaving behind sorrow and at the same time pride. Numerous monuments remind of the exploits of the inhabitants of Golubitskaya.

Walk of Fame

In October 1943, Golubitskaya was liberated from the German invaders. The Walk of Fame is dedicated to the heroes who died in the battles for the freedom of this small village. The memorial complex consists of rows of shields with historical information about the occupation, biographies of fighters native to Golubitskaya, photographs and poems.

The alley was created in 2012. The initiative belonged to the settlement council of veterans. The complex is located on a busy street, near the Church of Panteleimon the Healer. This place was chosen specifically so that as many citizens as possible (including children going to school) would walk along the alley and pay tribute to the memory of the liberating heroes.

In the middle of the green square there are three stone obelisks. Each of them is the tombstone of a mass grave. Soldiers who died during the Civil War in 1919-1920, Soviet soldiers who died during the liberation of the village in 1943, as well as underground Komsomol members and civilians shot by the Nazis during the occupation are buried here.
