Mud volcanoes
Mud volcanoes brought particular value to the resorts of Temryuk. People come here with diseases of the musculoskeletal system and chronic inflammatory processes. Therapeutic mud is rich in microelements and is called peloid. The main attraction of Temryuk is the mountain called Rotten.
At the very top of the mountain is the mud lake Hephaestus, filled with peloid. Periodically, bursting bubbles appear on its surface, reminiscent of a boiling process. But sometimes there are also emissions of dirt to a height of 20 meters. Infrastructure is developing near Hephaestus: an alley leading to the mountain, an aquarium, a cafe.
In the Temryuk region there is a mud volcano called Tizdar, located on a hill whose height above sea level is 72 meters. The hill is located in the Blue Beam tract. The Sea of Azov lies 50 meters away. Its depth is relatively small, 1 meter. The composition of the mud is related to mineral gray-brown clays and is rich in boron, bromine and iodine. It does not contain organic matter and has strong antiseptic properties. The temperature of the mud reaches +20 oC. Currently there is a tourist complex with all amenities here.
Climate
A temperate continental climate is observed in Temryuk with hot, dry summers and warm, but wet and windy winters.
Fishermen have their own season of luck: spring and autumn, when the catch is richest and most varied, including pike, crucian carp, rudd, pike perch, bream, catfish, asp.
Only on August nights can you observe an incredibly beautiful phenomenon at sea here: the water off the coast shines blue - the phytoplankton glows.
The beach season begins in May and lasts until mid-October. The swimming period in the Sea of Azov is shorter - from the end of May to the end of September.
In winter, temperatures rarely drop below zero, but rain and wind create discomfort, contributing to the low tourist season during this period.
Founding of Temryuk. Attraction - Phanagoria excavations
From 550 BC here was a Greek colony of the Hellenic Bosporan kingdom with its capital Panticapaeum. The second most important city in it was Phanagoria. Initially the settlement was called Agrippa. An interesting fact is that Phanagoria did not die from the invasion of enemies; it was absorbed by the Sea of Azov as a result of rising water levels.
Its ruins, located near the village of Sennaya, were discovered only in the 19th century after the sea level dropped. The most valuable exhibits, ancient Greek amphorae and household items are still being found. Today Phanagoria is a landmark of Temryuk and the surrounding area.
The territory of the Taman Peninsula has a rich history. Once upon a time, on the site of Temryuk there was a colony of Genoese Kop. In the 16th century, the Genoese were ousted by the Turks, who built Tumnev here - a kind of fortress with defensive structures.
The end of the 16th century was marked by the fact that these places were conquered by the Kabardian prince Temryuk, who acted in alliance with the Russians. Under him, the New Temryuk fortress was built on the site of Tumnev. After some time, she passes to the Crimean Khanate, she is given a new name - Adis. In 1774, the fortress became part of Russia. In 1860 the city of Temryuk was founded.
Military Technical Museum "Military Hill"

It was originally built in 1901, and in 1938 the Bolsheviks, under the auspices of the fight against “opium of the people,” destroyed the cathedral.
