The influence of the sea on the climate of Gelendzhik
Thousands of tourists strive to get to this paradise with a mild, warm climate. And although there is no direct Moscow-Gelendzhik train, it’s easy to find out how to get to these places. There are several options; by choosing one of them, for example, through Novorossiysk, you will get to Gelendzhik from anywhere in the country.
Many people are interested in why the weather in these parts is warm and favorable most of the year. All this thanks to the warm Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains. In the depths of the sea, the water temperature never drops below 7 degrees. In winter, warm water rises from the depths and replaces the cold water that descends. This is how circulation occurs. At the same time, the eastern monsoons that dominate the coast drive away cooled waters from the shores, and instead bring warm waters here with the current from Asia Minor. Thanks to such phenomena, the eastern part of the Black Sea is always 6 degrees warmer than the western part, although they are located at the same latitude. In summer, the opposite occurs: night breezes drive away highly heated waters, which are replaced by cooled lower layers. Therefore, in summer there is no sweltering heat here. The climate is favorable for recreation all year round.
By bus

What is the most convenient way to get from Gelendzhik to the dolmens
Dolmens are located throughout Greater Gelendzhik, so the trip will take a minimum of time, and many dolmens are easy to reach for elderly people and small children, no need to cross rivers and dense subtropical forest!
I’ll say right away that the famous dolmens in the Lower Olympus Park near the Aya River are artificial buildings of modern people, these are not the same magical dolmens!
There is also a beautiful, mighty dolmen-2007 at the top of the Markokht ridge. The structure was assembled from slabs of destroyed real dolmens; such slabs are scattered throughout the Black Sea forest. Volunteers transported several slabs to a place visited by tourists and built a new dolmen. For example, such amateur activities are not very interesting to me. I want something truly ancient and preserved!
The real dolmens are located near Mount Nekis, 6 km from the city towards the village of Svetly. You need to drive along the M-4 highway, near the gas station, turn onto the opposite highway and after 50 m you will see a dirt road and go up to the top. There are 2 well-preserved dolmens, the Solar and the Moon, and an incredibly beautiful view!
