How to get there (get there)?
The question of how to get to the village of Golubitskaya is on the lips of many today. The only way to get here from Moscow without transfers is by car. The nearest railway station, if you choose a train, is in Dzhemete (Anapa), and the airport is in Vityazevo (if you are traveling by plane).
It is easiest to get to the mini-resort from Temryuk, since there is a regular bus service between these settlements. To do this, in the area of the Temryuk bus station you need to take minibus No. 105, departing every 10-15 minutes during the season and 20-40 minutes in the off-season.

For dear guests - inexpensive rooms
The myth that the Azov Sea coast is significantly inferior in terms of tourist excitement to its “Black Brother” in Golubitskaya is being destroyed with ostentatious unceremoniousness. The Temryuk region has access to both bodies of water and does not always win the Black Sea coast in the fight for a client. It’s not for nothing that the wonderful Kuban village was called the “center of guest houses.” Of course, there are completely different apartments here. Naturally, we can talk about the predominance of low-rise buildings, where the rooms are almost better than in elite complexes. Such a development vector gives the settlement its own appearance and protects the traveler’s budget from rapid destruction.
- A huge number of guest houses allows a tourist to find a very decent room for minimal money - daily rent will cost about a thousand rubles.
- Tourist bases only look like that from the outside. The interior decoration speaks volumes about the quality of the apartments - the cost of daily accommodation here is usually no more than 1,500 rubles.
- In Golubitskaya there are hotels with less budget offers, but the rental price rarely exceeds two thousand rubles (the price list will probably be supplemented with breakfast, lunch and dinner).
