Sights of Azov: photo of the city, list, location

The Sea of ​​Azov is located on the territory of two neighboring countries - Russia and Ukraine. Next, the Russian coast will be considered.

The depth of the Sea of ​​Azov on average does not exceed 8 meters , so it is the shallowest in the world . But the attractive properties of the Azov coast for vacationers are not limited to this fact. If we compare the Sea of ​​Azov with the Black Sea, the advantages of Azov resorts are obvious for families with small children and lovers of a quiet “provincial” holiday . Due to the shallow depth, the water in the sea becomes warm much earlier than the Black Sea, and you can safely swim already in the second half of May . But it should be noted that the water cools faster, so it is better to plan your trip for May-August. It is worth considering that from mid-July the sea “blooms” violently and is covered with a huge amount of algae . The beaches are covered with a mixture of sand and shell rock. A big advantage is the fairly long shallow water combined with gently sloping, safe entrances to the sea.

When planning to relax in Azov, it is best to set priorities in advance , because the choice of options is quite wide. There is an opportunity to relax at resorts with a lot of all kinds of entertainment, aqua and zoos, carousels, rental equipment for scuba diving and windsurfing. Or you can focus on quiet, calm and fairly uncrowded places. Therefore, it is worth considering which beach will be cozier and more comfortable in each specific case.

Airports Pashkovsky (in Krasnodar) and Vityazevo (in Anapa) allow you to easily reach the main Azov resorts from any major city in Russia.
