Anyone who is interested in tourism news knows that there is no chance to swim in the sea in Anapa this summer — alas, the usual beach holidays are not yet available. It’s good that there’s more to do on the coast: we’ve found at least 5 reasons to come.
Visit the gravity winery “Rocky Coast”
Last October, the annual Top100 Wine ranking of the best Russian wines was once again presented in Moscow. The winner in the nomination “Winery of the Year” was the young Anapa gravity-type wine production “Rocky Coast”, which opened in 2022. It is unique not only for its modern technologies and methods of organic farming, but also for its architecture. The company is located in a mountainous area, where the slope reaches 17 degrees in some places. What’s not a reason to see with your own eyes what progress has come to?

In the gravity winery, the drink moves vertically through different stages of production due to gravity. And most importantly, pumps and piston systems are not used here as in the traditional single-stage process, which qualitatively affects the structure of the berries and the future taste of the wine.
Get on an ATV
If you don’t know where to go in Anapa and generally don’t mind extreme sensations, ride ATVs: they are very popular in these parts. A trip through a picturesque forest or a mountain path with viewpoints — such an excursion with an experienced driver will leave vivid impressions and several dozen new photos on your phone. Yes, yes, the driver will not mind stopping at the Caucasian Ridge or the Swallow’s Nest for the long-awaited selfie or panoramic shooting. The average trip duration is an hour, but it all depends on the choice of the tour — traditional or individual with a more sophisticated route. The hotel will help you with rental addresses, or you can simply type a query in the search engine and choose the most convenient location option.
Relax in an expensive hotel
There is nothing shameful in wanting to spend your vacation in a comfortable place and “drink juss orangeade right from the comfort of the pool.” For example, the Cliffs Hotel is a three-story building with a glass facade, literally embedded in a rocky outcrop. Each of the 29 rooms offers a sea panorama that even an artist would envy. Or Movenpick Resort & SPA Anapa Miracleon— the only international brand hotel in Anapa. Among its main advantages are a large green area, round—the-clock thermal zones with heated pools. Swimming pools in general are the hallmark of Movenpick Resort & SPA. There are five of them here!

To recover in a sanatorium
Anapa is great for wellness holidays due to the climate. The air here is saturated with oxygen, ozone and sea salts. It is also important to remember that Anapa is primarily a balneological and then a beach resort. So coming here for unique therapeutic mud is a good idea for allergy sufferers, diabetics, people with metabolic disorders, and anyone else who wants to get their health in order.
Visit the chocolate workshop and museum
Come here if you want to fulfill your childhood dream and make a chocolate figurine with your own hands. Or if you like to immerse yourself in a topic and are interested in what cocoa beans are or the Belgian quality of your favorite sweet dish. In the workshop, you can just drink coffee, inhale the aroma of the freshest sweets and watch through the glass wall how everyone else is working while you relax.

Well, then you can walk along the embankment, take a photo with a parrot on duty and go to that part of the Black Sea coast where it is safe to swim and sunbathe.
