Top 7 sights of Yeysk, worthy of mention

Amazingly beautiful places, clean sea air, silky beaches and a lot of diverse attractions - this is only a small part of what Yeysk can offer tourists.

The cultural, historical, entertainment, ethnographic and educational sites of both resorts “stretch out in a row” along the Azov coast and therefore they can be viewed one after another without building complex routes.

We talk about what to see in Yeysk, what excursions to go on, and where the most outlandish corners of this fertile land are hidden, in our material.

The attractions of Yeysk are not so few for a small town, which over the 170 years of its existence has managed to turn into a major port and a popular resort.

About the history of the city of Yeysk

The port city of Yeisk was founded in 1848 with a specific purpose: as a base for the sale of grain and other agricultural products of the Kuban, Don, and Stavropol regions abroad. The new port was built at the base of the Yeisk Spit - a narrow sandy peninsula washed by the waters of the Taganrog Bay and the Yeisk Estuary of the Azov Sea. The name comes from the Eya River, the mouth of which is located next door.

Just seven years after its founding, the city was severely destroyed by attacks by an English squadron during the Crimean War of 1853-1856. However, it was restored and by the beginning of the twentieth century it became one of the largest economic and cultural centers in the region. The port was reconstructed; the city is connected to the railway. Its history as a resort began in 1912: a balneological health resort was opened in Yeisk, with treatment with mud and hydrogen sulfide waters.

The Civil War and the Great Patriotic War became serious shocks for the city. During the civil period, Yeisk became the scene of bloody battles between the Reds and Whites, and changed hands many times. During the Great Patriotic War, he was subjected to heavy bombing by German aircraft and was under fascist occupation for six months.

Badges with the coat of arms of the city of Yeysk.

During Soviet times, the city grew several times: active housing construction began here. In addition to the seaport, a higher military aviation (originally naval aviation) school was located here. It was disbanded in 2011.

A distinctive feature of the old city is strictly perpendicular and parallel streets, squares of the correct shape - initially Yeysk was built up in strict accordance with the general plan, and not spontaneously. Modern Yeysk is a colorful collection of architecture from three eras: tsarist times, Soviet and architecture of the late 90s / early 2000s.

On the coat of arms of the city of Yeysk there is a diagonal wavy azure band, on which is applied a golden sterlet with red fins. This version of the coat of arms was given to the city in 1875 and restored in 1992. In Soviet times, the coat of arms of Yeysk depicted the sun rising from the waves and a soaring seagull, with an ear of corn and a gear obligatory for Soviet heraldry at the bottom of the coat of arms.

About the city

Yeysk is a resort in the Krasnodar region, located near the Rostov region. The history of the city began in 1848. It is believed that this is where Kuban begins , because it is the northernmost city of the region.

The climate here is quite mild, warm winters and hot summers; sometimes Yeysk is compared to New York in terms of average temperatures:

• summer it can be up to +28;
• In winter , temperatures rarely drop to -10;
• Spring comes early, and by April trees and flowers are blooming here;
• In autumn it is still quite warm, the “velvet season” continues, people relax here until October.

Tourists most often stay on the Yeisk Spit, where hotels, inns, and even yacht clubs are located. But the city still has areas such as Kupechesky Yeysk, City Center, and modern microdistricts. And on the website hochu-na-yuga.ru you can choose housing in the city to suit your taste and budget.

Merchant Yeysk is interesting for those who love history; here you can find buildings from the 19th century and see an ancient architectural ensemble. And the city center is the main artery of Yeysk; the main entertainment and attractions are located here.

Island of the Seven Winds

Previously, this island, located three kilometers from the end of the Yeisk Spit, was a single whole with it. But in 1914 the spit was washed away by a strong storm. The uninhabited Island of the Seven Winds has a bizarre shape and is home to a variety of seabirds. The island can be reached by boat, or along with an excursion.

Long braid

The Dolgaya Spit is a natural border between the Taganrog Bay and the main part of the Azov Sea. Its length is approximately 8-10 kilometers, and all of these are beautiful sandy and shell beaches. This nature reserve is also interesting because there are excellent conditions for surfing, and surfers from all over Russia come here every year to ride the sea waves.

Khanskoye (Tatar) Lake

A closed steppe reservoir sixty kilometers from Yeisk, in the southern part of the Yeisk Peninsula. The length of the lake is about 16 km, width - from 6 to 7 km, maximum depth (in spring) - up to two meters, in summer - only 5-10 cm. The magnesium-sodium and sulfate-chloride water of Lake Khan is saturated with minerals and salt. In ancient times, in the summer, during drying out, table salt was mined from the bottom of the lake, and the income from this fishing went to the treasury of the Crimean Khan, who, after the annexation of Crimea, could no longer live, as before, by predatory raids on Russian lands and became a vassal of Russia.

Nowadays table salt is not mined here. But medicinal mud and brine - yes. The composition is similar to the mud of Lake Saki, Odessa Estuary, and Tambukan Lake in Pyatigorsk. It helps to cope with diseases of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, digestive organs, joints, and maintain the freshness and beauty of the skin. The flora and fauna around the reservoir is also rich. Especially ornithological - cormorants, pelicans, flamingos, and laughing gulls live in its vicinity.

Ethnographic Museum "Kuban Farm"

An elegant and colorful ethno-village is located a 15-minute drive from Yeysk, in the picturesque village of Morskoy. The stylized Kuban village is imbued with the customs, traditions, and life of the Cossacks, and looks natural and extraordinary.

All the things in the museum are original: lace, clothes, household items, dishes, carpets and even icons were brought here by the creators of the museum from the villages and cities of the Krasnodar Territory. Each exhibit has its own interesting story, which the Cossack guide will tell you about.

After viewing the exhibition, guests are invited to the table to taste borscht, lard with homemade bread, vodka, uzvar and honey from the local apiary. There are other facilities on the territory of the farm: a stable with thoroughbred stallions, a mini-farm, a children's playground, a swimming pool, a watchtower and a souvenir shop.

What is so beautiful about the south of Russia is that even the smallest corner is rich in beautiful places and entertainment.
What about the sea? Here you can choose the most suitable beach in Yeysk.

Park and Museum named after Ivan Poddubny. Other city parks

In Yeisk, they do not forget that the famous wrestler and athlete Ivan Poddubny (1871-1949) settled here after completing his sports and circus career. His grave, with the inscription “Here lies the Russian hero,” is located in the largest local park, which is now named after the great athlete. The Poddubny Memorial Museum is also located here. Monuments to the fighter stand both near the museum and at the main entrance to the park (from Pervomaiskaya Street).

The park has existed since 1898: it was then that a green zone was created on this site for cultural recreation of citizens and guests of the city. Nowadays, it pleases with its picturesque and well-groomed appearance: magnificent fountains, flower beds, lawns, forged fences and art objects, paving slabs and small architectural forms. There is plenty of space for kids to roam: playgrounds, more than thirty attractions, a mini-zoo, and annual circus tours. There are shooting galleries and billiard rooms for adults. There are cafes. The park contains one of the richest collections of attractions in Russia. This is not an accident: in Soviet times, it was in Yeisk that the company producing this specific product worked.

Poddubny Museum and a monument to the fighter near it.

In the hall of the one-of-a-kind museum of Ivan Poddubny, everything is decorated like the arena of an ancient circus tent. The exhibition includes more than two thousand different exhibits, clearly telling about the life of the great athlete and the history of classical wrestling. There are also Poddubny’s personal belongings. Among them is an embroidered oriental robe, in which he entered the arena; a souvenir bill that the wrestler gave to the daredevil who could survive one minute in a fight with him without falling; a cast iron cane with which a wrestler walked.

Not far from Poddubny Park, on Karl Marx Street, there is the second largest green area of ​​Yeysk - the city park named after Gorky. It is notable for its monuments and sculptures. There are also playgrounds and cafes here.

Next to the city Palace of Culture is Nikolsky Park (formerly Kalinin Park). It has a round shape. Next to the Taganrog embankment there is a well-maintained Primorsky Park. Its most picturesque part is located next to the Cossack Kuren, at one of the descents to the sea.

The best beaches of Yeysk:

Central Beach

Central Beach

The central beach of Yeisk is located in the northern part of the city, on the shore of Taganrog Bay along Plyazhnaya Street. This is a sandy strip with a total length of 250 meters, at the very beginning of the Yeisk spit. The entrance to the sea is gentle. The bottom depth reaches a maximum value of 1.5 meters at a distance of 50-60 meters from the shore.

The beach is equipped with everything you need: changing cabins and showers, rental of sun loungers and umbrellas, cafes and souvenir shops. Rescuers and doctors are on duty to ensure safety.

The main feature is the gentle descent into the water and the absence of waves. There are many slides, attractions and playgrounds on the beach.

Pedestrian street Sverdlova in Yeisk

One of the central streets, Sverdlova Street, freed from vehicles, is a large promenade, a boulevard, which is pleasant to walk both day and night. At the intersection with Lenin Street there is a bust of the Cossack ataman Zakhary Chepega, who in 1792 first brought the Black Sea Cossacks to spend the winter on the Yeisk Spit. This became one of the initial events in the history of the emergence of the Kuban Cossacks.

Bust of the Koshe chieftain Chepega.

Between Lenin and Liebknecht streets, the pavement is paved with ballast stones from foreign ships that arrived at the local port to load grain. Some of these stones bear news from a 19th-century city newspaper. The fountain in the antique style looks very colorful, in the center of which four female figures hold a dish on their heads, and water flows from it.

City infrastructure

Improvement. The urban infrastructure in the main areas of Yeysk is well developed. The city has several landscaped parks and squares, children's and sports grounds. In summer, the city is literally surrounded by greenery and flowers. The streets look clean and tidy. The road surface on most streets is in satisfactory condition. During the winter, however, the asphalt breaks down, but by the holiday season it is carefully patched up.

In some areas, people complain that potholes in the roads are being filled with stones due to lack of funds for repair work, but this is the exception rather than the rule. Several streets in the center have been paved with paving stones since time immemorial.

Road surface in the city

Almost every part of the city has its own food market. The most important one is the Central Market, which is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It can be quickly reached on foot from anywhere in the central area, and can also be reached in a few minutes by any of the minibuses running around the city. In the central part there are all the administrative buildings of Yeysk, the port administration, and the offices of many large city companies.

Transport. The city has an airport, which is a joint airfield: in addition to civil aviation, it is used by the Russian Air Force and Navy aviation. However, it is now closed for runway reconstruction. Local people say that this will be another long-term construction project, since it closed back in 2011. Yeysk railway station has a cargo and passenger purpose. The bulk of passenger traffic is carried out to the suburbs and around the region, there is a direct train to Moscow. Railway communication in all other directions is carried out from the Starominskaya-Timashevskaya station, located 70 km from Yeysk. You can get to this station by train or bus.

Yeisk railway station

A large number of buses leave daily from the Yeisk bus station to cities such as Anapa, Tuapse, Rostov, Novorossiysk, Krasnodar, Gelendzhik, Armavir, Taganrog, as well as all directions of the Yeisk region.

Bus station

Transport links between the city's microdistricts are very well developed. In minibus taxis, the fare is 9 rubles. (children under 5 years old are free), travel is paid upon exit. Route operating hours are from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. with intervals of 3 minutes. Several private taxi services operating in Yeysk provide their services around the clock, the average cost of travel around the city is 60-80 rubles. All freight transport heading to the port travels along a bypass road around residential areas, without burdening city street traffic. Almost all the streets of Yeisk are wide, there are no traffic jams at all, even on the main transport arteries.

Housing and communal services. There are problems in this category in Yeysk. If gasification and electrification in the city are in complete order, even sewerage is available in almost all areas (those private sectors that do not have city drainage systems use septic tanks and, in principle, have no problems), then there is an obvious disorder with water. The all-Russian problem with the deterioration of communications makes itself felt here too. In Yeysk, there are often interruptions in water supply, both hot and cold. There are places where the water is often turned off at night, there are houses where on the top floors it flows in a barely noticeable thin stream. In this regard, those residents of Yerevan who live in new residential complexes and cottage villages, as well as in the private sector, are lucky. The developers took care of future residents in advance and equipped the complexes with additional pumps and autonomous boiler rooms. In private homes, you yourself regulate the supply of hot and cold water and heat by installing a pumping tank and a conventional double-circuit boiler on the site. Local residents also advise buying apartments with autonomous heating, where you will have your own personal heating season with a comfortable indoor temperature.

However, prices for housing and communal services in Yeisk are prohibitively high. From 1 September 2012, tariffs were again increased by approximately 6% after July and a new payment system was introduced.

Tariffs for summer 2012:

• Cold water - 45.85 rubles. / m³
• Water disposal - 27.39 rubles. / m³
• Hot water - 151.26 rubles. / m³
• Heating — RUB 1,691.27. / Gcal
• Gas - 4.39 rubles. / m³
• Electricity - 3.23 rubles. / kW. h.

There are no automatic payment terminals for paying for housing and communal services in Yeisk; to pay for utilities, as a rule, you have to stand in line at the cash desk.

Education, medicine and sports. There are 19 kindergartens in Yeysk, but this number is not enough for a developing city. To get into the garden you need to wait in a long line. There is an orphanage and a boarding school for special children in Yeysk. There are 12 secondary schools for schoolchildren, including lyceums and gymnasiums, and one evening school. The strongest school in the city is considered to be Lyceum No. 4 with a mathematical bias in the Military Town.

For the healthy development of the younger generation, the city has 4 sports schools, 4 developmental schools, including an art school and dance studios. As for ordinary sections, there are no problems here either - there is a Palace of Culture with many clubs, with dancing, singing, etc. Every year an excellent music school opens its doors.

Palace of Culture

In six secondary specialized educational institutions, your children will be able to choose a profession to their liking. For those wishing to receive higher education without leaving the city, 9 branches of universities are open:

• Adyghe State University
• Moscow State University
• Moscow Open Social Academy
• Kuban State University of Physical Culture, Sports and Tourism
• Kuban State University
• South Federal University
• Sochi State University of Tourism and Resort Business
• Modern Humanitarian Academy
• Rostov State Economic University

Everything is fine with medical institutions in Yeysk. There is a central city hospital, a antenatal clinic and a maternity hospital, in the districts there are children's and adult clinics, medical and treatment and diagnostic centers, dentistry and a dermatovenerological clinic, a military hospital and many sanatoriums. The qualifications of Yeisk doctors are quite high, the level of medical care has increased significantly over the past few years.

Connection. There are 41 post offices in all settlements of the district and in the city. Mobile communications are provided by many cellular operators. The only fixed-line telephone operator in the city, Rostelecom, is in full swing connecting houses and apartments to the telephone line and ensuring uninterrupted operation of the network. The Internet in Yeysk is also okay; often housing is sold with a connection.

Gostiny Dvor in Yeysk

The ancient building of the Yeisk Gostiny Dvor, this shopping center of pre-revolutionary times, is a smaller copy of a similar establishment in St. Petersburg. It is still used today for its intended purpose: shops, cafes, market trade (in the courtyard).

Yeisk Gostiny Dvor.

Address: st. Sverdlova, 85.

Ancient merchant buildings of Yeysk

Not far from Gorky Park, at the intersection of Kommunarov and Sverdlov streets, a luxurious, for its time, three-story building proudly stands - the house of the merchant Varvarov, built in 1908. An interesting detail is the rounded tower, topped with a spire, covered with scaly tiles. At the beginning of the twentieth century, these streets were called Taganrog and Tiflis. The owner of the house became rich by trading grain, as well as buying real estate and renting it out.

House of merchant Varvarov.

At the intersection of Mira and Moskovskaya streets there is a mansion of the merchant Tokhov, the owner of more than a dozen manufacturing and haberdashery stores in old Yeisk. On Karl Marx Street, opposite Nikolsky Park, there is the house of the merchant Kozlov. Symmetrical facades, relief cornices, columns - the entire appearance of the house emphasized the well-being of its owners. Now this is the building of the local police department. The building where the post office is now located belonged to the merchant Strutsky. What remained from the merchant Peshkov Yeysk (Poligrafmash) and a huge house on Liebknecht Street - the building of the former 51st school (now there is a city society for the disabled). Merchant Mukovnin left us a luxurious mansion on the corner of Chernomorskaya (Lenin) and Nakhichevan (Victory) streets - the current House of Officers - as a memory of himself.

Samsonov Museum of History and Local Lore

The museum opened in 1920, and since 2000 it was named after local historian and enthusiast V.V. Samsonov, director of this cultural institution from 1929 to 1962. During the occupation, the museum's collection was almost entirely looted and destroyed, so in peacetime the collections had to be restored almost from scratch. The museum's exposition includes ethnographic, geological, and scientific exhibits that clearly tell about the history, nature and famous people of the city and the Yeisk region.

  Morskoy, st. Central, 9B First of all, people come to Yeysk for the sea and the wonderful climate. But, you must admit, lying on the beach the whole vacation is boring. If you have already explored the city and seen nearby attractions, then it’s time to get acquainted with local traditions and customs.

Every year from May to September Yeysk receives a huge number of guests from all over Russia.
The seemingly ordinary resort town is fraught with a lot of interesting things and, importantly, at affordable prices. The Sea of ​​Azov, excellent climate and hospitable locals are key components of the popularity of this place. Of course, the main attractions of Yeysk are the local beaches. However, in addition to the golden sand and gentle sea, there are a huge number of interesting places and objects.

Yeysk is one of those cities that fascinate a traveler. In addition, Yeysk is considered one of the most culturally advanced cities in Kuban. In total, there are about 400 cultural sites located here. And this is not counting the parks, museums and other attractions of Yeisk. Not every European city can boast of such wealth.

You should start sightseeing in Yeysk from the city center. First of all, pay attention to Gostiny Dvor - a small copy of the St. Petersburg Gostiny Dvor. In addition, ancient houses from the 19th century, which once belonged to local merchants, have been preserved in the center. The city administration building used to house a public bank. The famous Mukovnin-Malina mansion hosted balls that attracted representatives of high society.

In the historical center of the city, take a walk along the pedestrian Sverdlova Street. Within this street there are very interesting sights of Yeysk, small shopping shops and cafes.

Here you can find cobblestone streets, which are so pleasant to walk on and imagine what Yeysk was like more than 100 years ago. It is interesting that at that time roads were considered one of the main problems in the city. Sometimes balls had to be canceled due to impassable mud. So that local residents could somehow move around the city in the fall and spring, wooden sidewalks were built, and small paths were covered with shells. Only in 1890 did they figure out how to get out of this situation. Many foreign ships that came to Yeysk carried ballast stones with them. On the way back, the ships were loaded with grain, and the stones remained in the port. It was these stones that the city authorities decided to use - they began to make pavement from them.

Be sure to take a walk in the local parks. The most famous and interesting of them is the Poddubny Park. There are many different attractions for children here at very affordable prices. The Ferris wheel alone is worth it - the whole city is at your fingertips. A pleasant atmosphere and shady alleys are for those who like a relaxing holiday. There is also a memorial named after Ivan Poddubny - a museum of the famous athlete. Don't forget to check out Nikolsky Park and Gorky Park. Everyone is good in their own way. In Nikolsky Park, it is worth paying attention to the huge oak planted many years ago by Prince Vorontsov. You can learn everything about the history of Yeysk at the Samsonov Museum of History and Local Lore. Art lovers should visit the art museum.

In Nikolsky Park there is a monument to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

Among the attractions of Yeysk is one very unusual and strange find. Several years ago, the editor of the local newspaper Delovoi Yeisk was looking at satellite images of the city. He was extremely surprised when he discovered a huge image of the Mother of God in the photographs. It can only be seen from a great height. Geographically, the face of the Mother of God is located in the area of ​​Plekhanov Street on the football field. Of course, not everyone sees something concrete in the blurred lines. Most people still make jokes about this. However, to believe it or not is a personal matter for everyone. Today this story is more like an urban tale.

If you like to take photographs against the backdrop of local attractions, then this is a real haven for you. There are a lot of monuments in Yeisk. A huge six-meter monument to the founder of the city, Prince Vorontsov, is located near the station. On the Cinema Arts Square there are two sculptures dedicated to famous residents of Yerevan - Nonna Mordyukova and Sergei Bondarchuk. It is interesting that no other city in Russia can boast of such monuments. The sculptures of Bondarchuk and Mordyukova are the first and only in the country. So the sights of Yeysk can be called unique.

Nonna Mordyukova loved Yeisk very much and always called it “our little Paris.”

Local residents are very fond of Pushkin Square. This is where residents of Yerevan often make appointments. “On the round one” is how the “natives” call the square area, which during its initial development was called Semicircular.

In 2012, a funny monument to dumplings was erected on the Taganrog embankment. Yes, yes, you read that right! And not just dumplings, but dumplings with sour cream!

The only theater of sea animals on the entire Azov coast is located in Yeisk. The Dolphinarium was opened in 2006 and during this time it has become a favorite entertainment for children. Dolphins Rem and Slava, walrus Varya, fur seal Katya and beluga whale Elya will be happy to show you all their tricks. It is worth noting that everyone - both adults and children - is delighted with the performances. And next to the dolphinarium there is also a crocodile farm. If marine themes are close to you, it’s worth going to the Yeisk Shark Reef Oceanarium. Try to buy a ticket for the time when employees in special diving suits feed the inhabitants of the aquarium.

The sights of Yeysk will impress any tourist - there are a lot of interesting places and cultural sites. So if you decide to spend a vacation in this city, you should plan your cultural forays into the city in advance so that you certainly don’t miss anything.

Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Temple of Michael the Archangel

The Cathedral of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is the largest temple in the city of Yeysk. It was built in the late 90s/early 2000s on the site of the old Panteleimon Church, destroyed in the early 1930s by the Bolsheviks. This temple existed since 1890, next to the cemetery where prominent people of the city were buried.

Address: Panteleimonovskaya Square, 1.

The Church of the Archangel Michael became the first stone church in Yeisk. It was erected from 1860 to 1865. The temple was destroyed in 1938, and at the turn of the 90s and 2000s it was rebuilt. The church is surrounded by the picturesque Mikhailovsky Garden. She runs a Sunday school.

Location: st. Yanysheva.

Waterpark "Nemo"

One of the most visited tourist infrastructure sites in Yeysk is located on the coast of Taganrog Bay, on the city embankment. The green island, surrounded by palm trees, has been bringing joy to children and adults since 2008.

On the territory of the water complex there are 7 swimming pools, 15 slides, including extreme, high-speed and family slides, as well as an area for children 7-14 years old and children 3-7 years old with a playground. The safety of visitors is ensured by a team of instructors and rescuers.

In addition to rides on the slides, at the Nemo complex you can play billiards, have a snack in a cafe or canteen, rent umbrellas and sun loungers, and, if necessary, buy beach accessories.

Monuments to Sergei Bondarchuk and Nonna Mordyukova

In Yeisk, there are wonderful monuments to the legends of Soviet cinema - actor and director Sergei Bondarchuk and actress Nonna Mordyukova. Bondarchuk spent his childhood and youth in Yeisk. His acting career began with the local drama theater. Mordyukova also lived in Yeisk in her youth, before she entered VGIK.

Climate and ecology of Yeysk. Alarm bells

Such an incident, unfortunately, is not isolated.
