The coastline of the village of Vityazevo is 15 kilometers of wide beaches with healing quartz sand, which is leveled and sifted before each tourist season. The entrance to the sea is flat everywhere, the depth increases very slowly, so the resort is considered a family resort: tourists with small children like to come here.

The difference is in the hotel’s distance from the sea, comfort, services provided, etc. In any case, during the peak season you cannot do without advance booking, so you need to take care of accommodation in advance, and not look for it on the spot, being disappointedly content with what is left.
