Holidays in Vityazevo include not only swimming, but also visiting a variety of entertainment facilities. There are not as many of them in the city as in large resorts, for example, in Anapa, but there will still be something to do. Below we will consider popular options for organizing leisure time, including for children.

Vityazevo beaches

The first reason why people go to the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory is, of course, the sea. Therefore, the beaches of Vityazevo remain a priority as an entertainment option. Despite the small size of the village, there are many beaches, all covered with sand of different fractions. Niko Beach is considered the best on the entire coast, quiet, without crowds and intrusive merchants. The most popular and visited beach in Vityazevo is “Central”.

Maximum amenities and developed infrastructure on the Venus Resort beach, which belongs to the hotel complex of the same name. In the village, many beaches are the property of hotels or hotels, but most of them have free entry for everyone. The beach of the Aquamarine sanatorium is divided into two zones: free and paid. Both are well-equipped and even have storage lockers.

French Quarter

1 of 11

Another hotel with charming French countryside character. The interiors are created in the Provence style: floral patterns, muted shades, light, elegant furniture... Convenient furniture has been introduced, but there is one caveat - tourists complain about poor online performance. If you are traveling in 2022 with a small child, you should order a transfer not on the website, but by phone. It's more reliable. Depending on financial capabilities and the composition of the vacationing party, you can check into a two- or three-bed “standard”, an exquisite suite of two or four rooms. The interiors are also impressive, new plumbing, wet cleaning every day. A crib will cost several hundred rubles per day. The place is ideal for holidays with children over 1 year old.

The chefs serve dishes of Russian, Caucasian and European cuisines, there are always tasty and healthy dishes, and there are high chairs for children. The downside is that the restaurant has only 20 tables, and the food service is replenished with delays, which leads to queues and the feeling of a lack of food. The little one makes friends on the playground and enjoys splashing around in the heated pool. It is extraordinarily beautiful, and what a location! - on the roof. The veranda is even higher; in the evenings it’s nice to drink wine with live music and enjoy the views of the southern village.

Paralia

From Greek “Paralia” is translated as “Embankment”, on the other hand this is not entirely true, since the street runs perpendicular to the sea, and not parallel; rather, it is a boulevard from which the sea is not visible. At the same time, this is the most popular place for the promenade. Paralia is decorated in Greek style; the entrance is decorated with 12 columns made in antique style.

“Paralia” is the main pedestrian street of the village, 900 meters from the sea

Most of Vityazevo’s entertainment facilities are concentrated there, including a dolphinarium, amusement parks, and so on. There are many catering establishments where you can eat tasty and inexpensive food. There are also many hotels and inns there, although you should book rooms in them long before your trip. Since they sell out at lightning speed, at the height of the season you are unlikely to find a free room.

Museums and exhibitions

In cloudy weather and with the onset of storms, tourists, first of all, seek to get acquainted with the cultural and historical heritage of Anapa. The best place for this is considered to be the Gorgippia archaeological museum. The museum is named after the fortress city, located on the site of modern Anapa 2500 years ago. The museum space consists of two exhibition areas - open-air excavations of the fortress and an indoor area with archaeological finds. Among several thousand artifacts: amphorae, ancient sculptures, fragments of frescoes, ancient coins and jewelry.

If the rain catches you on the Central Embankment near the lighthouse, run to the Anapa Museum of Local Lore. The exhibition, located in several halls, tells the story of the history of the city over 25 centuries - from the Bosporan kingdom and the Turkish period to the establishment of Russian power. The collection includes: Circassian armor and weapons, Turkish coins and silver from a real treasure, weapons from the times of the Russian Empire and the USSR. There are exhibitions dedicated to the flora and fauna of the region - they are made in the form of dioramas.

What to do in Anapa in the rain with children?

With little tourists it is worth visiting the Einsteinium Museum of Entertaining Sciences. This is an interactive platform where children are shown the laws of physics and chemical reactions through exciting experiments and performances. Before your visit, check the program - the Einsteinium Museum often hosts master classes, quests and intellectual games for children.

The Diana Rudy Chocolate Museum is also an entertaining area for a short visit. Ideal for “waiting out the rain.” In the museum, guests will get acquainted with the history of chocolate production and see the process of making chocolate. Among the exhibits are genuine cocoa fruits and unusual sculptures made of chocolate. Visitors can take part in a master class and make their own souvenir figurine or bar from Belgian chocolate.

Monuments and fountains of Anapa

25 best entertainment in Yaroslavl for children
Sight hunters will find something to see in Anapa. There are quite a few memorable monuments in the city, and there are several very colorful fountains.

Stela City of Military Glory

Address: st. Lenin. Transport stop "Polyclinic".

In 2011, Anapa was awarded the honorary title of City of Military Glory. To commemorate this event, two years later a memorial stele was solemnly opened in the city center. The gilded coat of arms of the Russian Federation was installed on the top of the granite column, placed on a tetrahedral two-level pedestal. On the sides of the pedestal you can see slabs with bas-reliefs depicting episodes of the battles for Anapa. On the front side there is a memorial plaque with the text of the Presidential Decree. The height of the stele is about 15 m.

Monument to the White Hat

Address: Central Park of Culture and Culture of the 30th Anniversary of the Victory. Transport stop "Krasnodarskaya Street".

The refrain of a carefree song, popular among vacationers at the beginning of the last century and given a second life thanks to chanson performer Arkady Severny, forever linked the name of the resort with the white hat. A monument to an indispensable costume accessory for any self-respecting holiday-goer appeared in the Central City Park in the fall of 2007. A half-meter white marble hat with a brim, weighing more than 300 kg, is carelessly “thrown” over a pyramidal boulder. The monument perfectly personifies the serene distraction of a tourist completely relaxing by the gentle Black Sea.

Singing Fountains

Address: Central Square. Transport stop "Krasnodarskaya Street".

In 2014, the list of the main attractions of the city was replenished with a unique hydraulic composition, which completed the landscape and architectural ensemble of Soviet Square. Then, for the first time, jets flowed from 300 geysers of five fountains located along the central alley at a distance of 16 m from each other. The enchanting show is accompanied by the sounds of music and the illumination of 320 spotlights. Every day a large number of tourists who come to relax at the resort gather to watch the dancing of multi-colored jets.

Monument "Soaring Eagle"

Address: village Suspeh. Transport stop "Varvarovka".

The city acquired this iconic landmark, installed on an observation deck with stunning views of the surrounding Anapa region, in the summer of 2013. On top of a pedestal made of rock, imitating a pointed cliff, is a figure of an eagle, majestically spreading its wings. The sculpture, made of metal-plastic, which is not afraid of temperature changes and precipitation, is painted with gilding. The location for the monument was not chosen by chance. It is here that the spurs of the Caucasus Mountains begin to rise from the endless Kuban steppes.

Amusement park "Byzantium"

The very first and largest amusement park in Vityazevo offers more than 35 entertainments, including interactive ones, show programs, various mechanical attractions and even leisure activities with cartoon characters. Byzantium Park is divided into 9 thematic zones. Among them are family, children's, entertainment, prize, extreme and many other attractions.

There are also unique attractions, for example, “Labyrinth of the Minotaur,” where visitors move in a double cabin through the labyrinth, immersing themselves in an atmosphere of mystery and fear. Or a “Flying Saucer” with “aliens” on board a spaceship. In general, bright and unforgettable impressions are guaranteed. The territory also has a walking area, a zoo, cafes and snack bars.

Churches

Connoisseurs of architectural monuments and spiritual heritage should visit a number of places in the resort village.

Church of St. George the Victorious. The temple was built in 1994 in a very picturesque part of the village. The building itself is not luxurious and looks very modest. But the atmosphere on the church grounds is very peaceful.

“Holy Hand” is a whole Orthodox complex. Excursions are often organized there from Vityazevo. The complex has been known since the 18th century. It contains the source of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is famous for its healing properties. Water from the source used to flow over a stone that had the outline of an elegant hand. It is not difficult to guess where the name of the Orthodox place comes from. You can swim in the spring and collect healing water. There are especially many people in the “Holy Hand” on Orthodox holidays.

The Hermitage of St. Theodosius of the Caucasus is located in the village of Gorny. It can also be reached by tourist bus. The clairvoyant Saint Theodosius lived here at the beginning of the 20th century. In the Desert you can visit a temple and a chapel, and collect water from a holy spring.

Amusement park "Fairy Tale"

If the Byzantium amusement park is open until 01:00 and is designed for vacationers of all ages, then Skazka is aimed at children of preschool and primary school age. The truth is open until 23:00. There are many attractions, but mainly swings and carousels. There is a racing track and a shooting range, darts, a Ferris wheel, trampolines and a rope maze. Figures of characters from your favorite cartoons are placed throughout the territory. Even the signs are funny, with different animals. The area is relatively small and fenced. In principle, the place is quite good for entertaining small children.
