Beaches of Dzhanhot: description, photo, reviews

The blueest in the world, our Black Sea is rich in places, where you can perfectly relax. Among them is the Dzhanhot-Khutor, founded in the late 19th century. It is located on the seacoast of the inland sea of the Atlantic Ocean basin, where the Hotezai River flows into it (in translation from the Adyghe "wild dog"). Drowning in the green, cozy, far from the glitter and bustle of large resorts, with a population of three hundred people, Dzhanhot (photo below) like many holidaymakers.

Contemplative rest

Tourists can not rejoice here on the cleanest sea. They attract picturesque and comfortable beaches, stunning rock greatness, a botanical nature monument - relic forests, almost complete absence of allergen plants. Having seen such powerful pluses, many believe: vacation promises to be great!

So it will be, however, if you do not consider the above "free application" to fun discos, parties in a cafe, noisy beach activities, numerous thematic excursions, without which, in your opinion, can not do. Then you better choose Gelendzhik, Divnomorskoe or Kabardinka - there is more than that.

So, the beaches of Dzhanhot, like the resort itself, are more designed for contemplators who adore the bright, lush nature of the Caucasus. Tourist infrastructure is limited to one seasonal cafe on the beach, two small shops, a small market, there is a post office. Beach entertainment is not found. In general, it is cool here to those who "social fuss" order fed up or never liked.

Luxurious bay

This does not in any way mean that little is known about the farm or it is not popular. Try in the summer to walk through the private sector, and you'll find: there are very few empty rooms. Thousands of tourists a season - a good confirmation that the coast, the beaches of Dzhanhot attracts newcomers, remain in the memory of experienced lovers of relaxation by the sea, who often return here.

There is an opinion that a luxurious small cove and the farm itself is one of the most cozy, expressive places for rest. The resort "registered" on a long strip, running along the shore of the "blueest in the world" of the sea. The majority of visitors to Dzhanhot, in order to "lie around" on the beach under the generous Krasnodar sun, admiring the nature, the choice, as a rule, is not disappointed.

The sea is such that it is a sin not to dip, just the kind that you dreamed of at home on cold winter evenings. In general, unity with nature is ensured. But connoisseurs are urged not to build illusions about the "sweet loneliness": in summer there are many vacationers, a number of areas allocated for the beaches of children's camps (including the sports and creative "Academy of Leadership", wellness "Malozemelets"). By the way, the kids in the program of recreation contests and discos are enough.

Fedor Shcherbina and Vladimir Korolenko

Dzhanhot that stretches along the mountain beauty of Khotetsai (by the way, another translation of the unusual name "river flowing along the beam") has a rich history. In this place once lived the Adyghe tribes. But if we talk about the farm, its appearance dates back to the end of the XIX century.

It is noteworthy: on one slope of the gorge in the manor (at the dacha) of his younger brother for a while lived and worked writer VG Korolenko (years of life 1853-1921). Korolenko-senior chose a site for construction with the help of a zemstvo figure, historian, author of the book "History of the Kuban Cossack Host" F. Scherbiny.

The latter already had land on the opposite slope (the brothers Shcherbiny were famous in this area by landowners), built there an estate. In summer the museum-estate Korolenko is actively visited by tourists from different parts of Russia, who chose the coast of Dzhanhot for recreation.

Moral obligations

Feodor as he could propagandize the resort, participated in the exhibition "Russian Riviera", with the report "Gelendzhik - port and resort" spoke at the congress, as they would say today, tour operators of the Black Sea coast. VG Korolenko was visiting Shcherbina.

Vladimir Galaktionovich saw Fyodor Andreyevich dreaming of populating a place with good people, so that the new land would soon settle in, and wished him every success in this difficult matter. In his letters Korolenko wrote about the following.

"Shcherbina wants to see a culture come soon, which means that it takes upon itself moral obligations to begin to develop." Of course, while managing, the owner pursued not only public, but also personal goals. But there was a certain balance. The beaches of Dzhanhot were still "in the project", but there was an excellent bathhouse with a service for the upper class (for that time). The stone parapet of the bath-house, which Feodor Shcherbin built for the summer residents, was preserved.

The sail is lonely

Rest in Dzhanhot is very useful. Pitsunda pine (an example of a tertiary flora existing on the Earth 65-70 million years) secretes active substances that suppress the development of pathogenic bacteria (phytoncides). Healing air has a beneficial effect on the human respiratory and digestive system. Pine forest is spread over a thousand hectares!

Mountainous landscape, rocks covered with mixed forests, surrounding the valley. On the shore there are hidden from the eyes of the bay, separated from the sea by sandy braids, cozy beaches. Surprises the people for years resistant to the free winds monolith of sandstone - the rock of Parus. To this monument of nature in the form of a wall against the background of the sea is a popular tourist route.

Dzhanhot located in the area of distribution of the subtropical climate, which is not characterized by sharp temperature fluctuations. Mountain ranges from three sides carefully cover the bay from the wind. Only the sea "elusive reveler" can "wander" on land to refresh the holidaymakers who filled the beaches of Dzhanhot.

Between Dzhanhotom and Paraskoveevkoj

At the height of the season, the air temperature is comfortable: plus twenty-five degrees (water - plus twenty-three). Winter is mild, only occasionally the column of the thermometer drops to a mark of zero. Bathe in the sea can be five months in a row: from mid-May to the very "bottom" of October.

The resort village of Paraskoveevka is very close to Dzhanhot. If you look at the map, all the places for bathing are located between these settlements. Lean shores, ready to shelter bathers, are among the cleanest in the whole region.

Dzhanhot, a wild beach - is a fiction or reality? Pebble beaches are well equipped, in demand by tourists. However, as you move away from places that are loved and lived by a person, you can get into the world of people's lack of abundance - this is not a myth.

Where to go for a swim

For those who personally visited Dzhanhot, beaches, reviews of places - business everyday. They will immediately recommend to you where to go for a swim. For example, on the beach Central (the main acting "person" in the bathing congregation). Two hundred meters in length, thirty in width, covered with large pebbles. There is a following "surprise": the depth grows very quickly. It will be reported that there are rental offices, a cafe, a locker room, parking. But there is an opinion that there are not enough of them at all.

The beach "Eaglet" along the length is the same as the Central (almost 200 m) and also large-pebble. From the main "fellow" he is separated by a pier. This place is considered childish, as there are special areas with a fence, for the convenience of staying in seawater children. There is a cafe, a cloakroom, a playground for viewing (lookout).

The beach behind the buoy is covered with large pebbles, surrounded by high cliffs. Buna (semi-dammed) protects the bay from storms. The entrance to the water is rocky. There are no canteens, locker rooms.

Blue abyss

Beach "Blue Abyss" (Dzhanhot) - a special story. Rather, the place where he is. Really interesting area to the north-west of Dzhanhot. The way to it already tickles your nerves: the road is not wide, on the one side there is a cliff.

Upon arrival, you can find campsites, parking lots. This is the only place with signs of civilization. There are people who constantly feel the slope of the terrain towards the sea and are afraid to "roll down". But most of the visitors like risk, they like everything here.

To get to the beach (narrow strip), you need to overcome a steep, poorly equipped descent. Therefore, people far from sports in the "Blue Abyss" have nothing to do (except to admire the wondrous space from the height). But many deftly make their way to the water and back. The sandy beach occupies not too large areas, mostly everywhere - remarkable rounded pebbles of different sizes (pebbles).

About the name. The rocks, reflected in the water, create a shadow, and it seems that before you is a frozen, unique deep abyss. Not far from the "Blue Abyss" there is the Pine Forest. The shore is rocky. In the summer there is a camp for campers (camping). We talked about the rock of Parus. There, too, there is a beach, almost 800 meters deep. The shore is rocky, narrow, but the place for swimming is convenient (although deep).

Near an unusual canvas rock, there are many wild beaches. Sometimes they are broad, sometimes quite narrow stripes, but in season and on some, and on others you can see fervent bathers. Often these are people who prefer to travel by savages.

Therefore, moving from Dzhanhot to Pasroveevke and back, you can see a lot of tourist tents. They, as they say, under every bush are ready and the table, and the house. For lovers of comfort, all this is not too much for the heart, and "Robinsons" - the very thing.

Excursion to potter

Wild and secluded rest is great. But should there be at least some fun? Suggestions can be found here: excursions are conducted to the Dudin family farm. The head of the family - a master of pottery, has something to show and tell tourists about. Dzhanhot (photo below) is proud of the national craftsman.

We have already mentioned the house-museum of VG Korolenko. There is a route to the Pshad waterfalls. It is a lot of small flowing streams. But the path to the goal is not easy - the factor should be taken into account by those who dare to set off to properly assess the forces.

It is interesting to visit Gelendzhik, 33 waterfalls (Sochi National Park), in the valley of the river Jane at the dolmens (stone tables). You can relax in Abrau Durso. Popular walks on the shore (or horseback around the farm).

Price and quality

Cafe called "Evening", as well as "Surf" and "Shack", a restaurant at the hotel "Empress" - all this is in the village. But not only positive reviews get Dzhanhot. Rest, the price of which is too high, hinders the growth of the tourist flow. How are things with this? Judge for yourself: rental housing - from three hundred rubles a day or more (depending on the area of residence, the initial amount for the most economical).

The room in a private mini-hotel already draws for two thousand two hundred rubles a day. In the boarding house "Dzhanhot" the standard room costs four thousand eight hundred rubles. There is a "Sunny Valley" (hotel). "Safonovo" (hotel), "Under the Blue Roof" (guest house). Probably you can choose the right one.

Standard apartments, luxury rooms, cottages, there is a choice. And although there are different opinions about the stay in the rooms (from plus to minus), everyone can choose the right one for the price and quality.

Reviews about the rest are very different: from enthusiastic to those that "with sadness." Basically, parents and children want the best. They think that there are not enough equipped places for children. They do not agree with the fact that there are boarding houses in Dzhanhot with their own beach, assuring that the declared beach at the hotel in fact turns out to be a territory divided into sectors.

We're going to Dzhanhot!

Arriving in Dzhanhot, a sandy beach, extensive, covered with sparkling grains of sand, is difficult to find. No matter how much you move, they are stony, with loose patches. By the way, about distances. From Dzhanhot to Divnomorsk - 10 km (along the coast - 5 km), to Gelendzhik - 25 km (the coast "mileage" is reduced to 14 km). About the depths. Where the Hotecai flows into the Black Sea, the bottom is precipitous, but the shoal extends to the edges of the beach, and you can walk about 15-20 meters, being waist-deep in the water.

Yes, about holidays in Dzhanhot you can read many different opinions. This is understandable: it is impossible to be nice to the whole world: neither to a person, nor to a geographical point. It is probably early for the farmers to catch butterflies, there is something to work on in terms of improving the infrastructure and attracting tourists.

But, anyway, every guest is admired by nature, most are struck down by the purity of the sea, the healing air. Many are satisfied with the service and in general all. How do you know which category you will fall into? Exit one - go on vacation to Dzhanhot!
