Where is the best place to relax in Russia in June 2021? Where to go - to the sea or to the mountains? We have made a selection of traditional and not so traditional directions.
Azov coast: Yeysk
Are you planning a seaside vacation in June 2021 in Russia? Then you'd better go to the Azov coast. At the beginning of summer in the Azov region it is very warm: during the day +26 ... + 28 ° С, at night + 17 ° С, the water in the sea + 22 ° С. At the beginning of the month there are few tourists, but after June 20th the first peak of the high season comes.
I must say that the Azov Sea resorts are mostly small villages, villages (for example, we went to Kuchugury, Golubitskaya). Cons - poorly developed tourist infrastructure and some distance from transport routes.
If you are interested not only in a beach holiday, then we advise you to go to Yeisk in June. The city compares favorably with its good location (find out how to get to it from Rostov airport) and the availability of all the necessary infrastructure. The resort has several sandy and sandy-pebble beaches. The most popular ones are the sandy Central Beach and the less crowded Kamenka Beach. The main contingent of holidaymakers in Yeisk is married couples with children, and the entertainment here is appropriate: an aquarium, a dolphinarium, children's cafes, a water park and amusement parks. Trips to an uninhabited island (Island of the Seven Winds), extreme sports and surfing are popular among adults, although the beaches of the neighboring village of Dolzhanskaya are more suitable for surfing.
Prices in Yeisk are slightly lower than in the Black Sea resorts, but the service, according to tourists, leaves much to be desired. There are many offers in the private sector. It is worth worrying about renting a house in advance, otherwise the vacation may be ruined.
Why it is worth coming:
- Semi-wild rest
- Few tourists
- Sandy beaches
Black Sea coast: Anapa
A favorite summer vacation spot in Russia for many tourists is the Black Sea coast. But where is it better to go on vacation in June 2021? Indeed, unlike the Azov shallow waters, the Black Sea is in no hurry to please with warmth. Even if at the beginning of June the water temperature has already reached + 22 ... + 24 ° С, the incoming cold currents instantly cool the upper layers of the water. Such natural phenomena can last for several days, so in June it is better to choose warmer places, where there are shallow bays and cozy coves.
At the beginning of summer, we recommend going to Anapa, it is famous for its long sandy beaches and shallow waters, it is not for nothing that the resort is called the All-Russian children's health resort. The first summer month in Anapa is warm and sunny: during the day +23 ... + 26 ° С, at night +15 ... + 17 ° С. The water is very clean, without algae and blooms, the temperature is about + 20 ° C. This resort is very convenient from a transport point of view - you can get there by car, bus, train and plane. Find out how best to get to Anapa.

There are few attractions in the city itself: tourists stroll along the embankment, walk in parks and visit the excavation sites of the ancient city - the Gorgippia archaeological museum.
There is a zoo in the city park of the 30th anniversary of Victory, a dolphinarium, a penguinarium and an oceanarium on Pionersky Prospekt. In June, a crocodile farm opens and a water park begins to operate. At night, young people storm nightclubs and open-air discos, the most popular of which are concentrated in the center of the resort - on the embankment. With an excursion, you can go to Sochi or Abkhazia.
