The village is surrounded on all sides by coniferous forests, so the air here is unusually clean. In addition, it offers a breathtaking view of Cape Agriya. Straight to the water approach the vegetation covered with vegetation and cliffs.

History of the sanatorium

Earlier, in this unique area, the tuberculosis sanatorium "Agriya" of federal subordination was located. In 1998, the Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 600 "On saving government spending" came into force. This jeopardized the continued existence of the institution. The fact is that the deterioration of the buildings of the sanatorium at that time was 100%, the structures and engineering networks were extremely unsatisfactory. The "Agria" sanatorium required major repairs. The further functioning of this spa establishment was impossible. However, full reconstruction and major repairs required a large number of financial investments, which were not in the budget of the Russian Federation. As a result, a decision was made on the impossibility of further functioning of the institution in the given territory. In 1999, an order was signed to liquidate the sanatorium. All property of the institution, including infrastructure and residential buildings, became the property of the Krasnodar Territory. Sanatorium "Agria" ceased to exist, and in its place was formed the town of the same name, which is now a great place for a quiet family vacation.

Climate

The village of the former "Agria" sanatorium is located in a zone of milder climate. It is warm throughout the year. Snow falls very rarely. This is due to a special location: the terrain is protected from winds by the Caucasian ridge. Minus temperature is a rarity for the village, even in winter. And thanks to the proximity of the Black Sea in the summer heat, it is comfortable to rest here. Autumn is the best time for rest in the village, where the sanatorium "Agria" used to be. At that time, Olga is literally alive.

Since the water depth in some places is 1.2 meters. The cave has a second exit.
• Suspended bridges on the river Asha. The bridges are quite long, and many tourists do not risk crossing the river. However, they have a beautiful view of the surrounding area.
