For a whole month, I lived in the resort town of Anapa within total of July 2017, worked as a volunteer in the local agro-industrial complex in the first half of the day, and in the second half the city was walking around, visited various recreation areas, beaches. And I would like to share my vision of what I liked, and what did not like it.
What did you like:
1) Weather.
For all July, the weather induced only three days, these days a hopeless rain was, there was a very strong wind and the sea was not calm. In the remaining days there was a wonderful weather, it was very warm, the sun was not stuffy that the most important thing. Walking around the city was quite comfortable. Despite not warm weather in the first days of July, the water in the sea was not comfortable for a long and pleasant stay in her. There were few wishing to swim - everything was lying on the sand.
2) opportunities for leisure.
Even staying a whole month in Anapa always you will always find yourself, there is absolutely everything and a lot. And back
3) the ability to visit neighboring resorts.
For 100-200 rubles, you can go to the neighboring Novorossiysk with a beautiful fleet and the capital of domestic winemaking - Abrau Durso, in Gellandzhik with a beautiful high-level water park, on the Azov Sea, in the village with a cleaner and less crowded beach.
What did not like:
1) abundance of trade.
The city is rushed with all sorts of points for the sale of everything. Everywhere Torgashi. It strongly strains tourists.
2) crowded public transport.
The problem of Anapa is that in the non-smallest season, the demand for public transport is low compared to the summer season. Therefore, the lack of rolling stock is felt. Usually, the minibuses are waiting for a long time and go to them in a semi-bent condition.
3) High prices for products and especially indignantly on fruit.
Locals say that with the onset of the holiday season, prices are automatically raised by 30-40%, even the major stores, such as a magnet, sin. According to my observations, the price is really much higher in the anapan magnets than in the stores of my city. It is especially disappointing that the prices of fruit are comparable to the prices of the Siberian region, despite the fact that peaches, apples, plums, nectarines, grapes and more are grown in Anapa.
4) Dirty central beaches.
The central beaches of Anapa will overgrow the tina - and this sad fact, the smell is not very pleasant, after such swimming shower is required, by the way he is paid.
