Short story
The Russian Cossacks began to develop the lands of the Taman Peninsula immediately after the end of the next Russian-Turkish military campaign in 1792. In the vicinity of one of the farms, whose owner was the Cossack Grigory Golubitsky, they began to build housing for the settlers.
So on the Kuban lands of the Azov coast in 1879 a new Russian territorial unit appeared, which at the beginning of the 20th century. received the status of a village. It was named after a farmer who became famous during many military operations of the 19th century. For many military services to the Tsar and the Russian
The Fatherland, Field Marshal General, His Serene Highness Prince Grigory Alexandrovich Potemkin, granted the Cossack Grigory Golubitsky an officer rank and lands in Taman, where he founded his farm.

Basic moments
The village is located on the Golubitskaya Strelka, a hilly isthmus separating the Akhtanizovsky Estuary and the Temryuk Gulf of the Azov Sea. Since the end of the 18th century, the village has grown around the farm of the Black Sea Cossack Grigory Golubitsky, who became famous in the battles of the Russian-Turkish war of 1787-1791. Grigory was in the first ranks of soldiers who stormed enemy fortresses, and more than once went on sea voyages on Cossack “seagulls”, which boldly boarded enemy ships. For his bravery and courage, Prince Potemkin promoted the Cossack to officer and gave him land on the Taman Peninsula.
Today, more than 5,000 people live in the village of Golubitskaya. Most of the adult population is associated with the developed hospitality industry. Many private estates rent out separate rooms equipped for receiving holidaymakers. Mini-hotels, amusement parks, and cafes and restaurants have been built in the village. There are several beaches here, and there are rental points for bicycles, pleasure boats, beach and sports equipment.
In the surrounding area, vineyards belonging to the Golubitskoe Estate winery are planted on 1,600 hectares. The vines grow in unique soil, rich in minerals from the emissions of mud volcanoes. Excursions are organized to the central estate of the winery. There is a tasting room and a shop with a large selection of fine wines.
Beaches of the village Golubitskaya
The sea coast near the village of Golubitskaya is covered with sand mixed with pieces of mollusk shells. These fragments are mostly ground and rolled by the surf, but there are also sharp fragments of shell rock. To avoid minor cuts, you should buy beach shoes.
The central beach of the village is equipped with attractions, and there are cafes everywhere. In addition, there are several beaches belonging to boarding houses and holiday homes. Entrance to them is open to everyone. The sea here is shallow and warm, the coast is flat. The water temperature at the edge of the beach in the summer season is +23...+25 °C, often the sea warms up to +27...+28 °C. You can swim from mid-May to September inclusive.
Natural attractions
On warm summer nights, the waters of Temryuk Bay sometimes fluoresce. Already at sunset, the sea seems to be illuminated from within with a mysterious emerald glow and the surf is decorated with myriads of flickering lights rising from the depths. Algae and microorganisms emit wonderful light. They say that the glow of the sea can be seen from the windows of airplanes flying over Taman, and even from space. On such magical nights, you should definitely take a romantic swim, and you can take absolutely amazing footage with high-resolution smartphone cameras.
In the estuaries opposite the mouth of the Kuban and its numerous branches crossing Taman, sea water is largely desalinated. A special ecosystem characterized by biodiversity has developed here. Having thrown their fishing rods from the boat, experienced fishermen will be surprised to catch river fish from the sea: pike, bream, carp. Moving out to sea a little further from the shore, you can admire schools of smiling dolphins hunting nimble mullet.
After strong storms in the waters of the Sea of Azov, long sandbanks form near the coast, where you can swim and sunbathe. But one morning you will no longer see them: the waves wash away these islands within a few days. By the way, after storms, many gobies appear near the coast. Catching fish for dinner is not difficult, and you can use not only a fishing rod, but also just a mesh net.
Within the village of Golubitskaya there is a mud lake of the same name measuring approximately 500 by 200 meters. This is the crater of an old mud volcano. Its depth does not exceed one and a half meters, the bottom is dense, and the slopes of the funnel are gentle. Tourists and locals take mud baths here. Doctors recommend these procedures for the treatment of joints and skin rejuvenation.
Another natural phenomenon is observed in the Golubitskaya area. Once every few years, a mud volcano erupts in the sea bay opposite the village. At the same time, tremors of a local earthquake are felt on the coast. Underground gases erupt from the seafloor under high pressure, creating a fountain of liquid soil ejection. This pulp rises 30-50 meters into the air. A cone-shaped island grows at the site of the eruption. Waves gradually erode the clay formation, saturating the water with healing substances. The short-lived island disappears into the depths of the sea, but after 6-8 years the process is repeated, and the shaky firmament is reborn. However, scientists have not yet been able to predict the next eruption.
Excursions
The Taman Peninsula is small, so tourists vacationing in the village of Golubitskaya can access any of its attractions within an hour's bus ride. It will be convenient to use the services of private guides offering excursions. They will take you to the most interesting corners of Taman. If you wish, you can explore the surrounding area in your own or rented car.
At the Golubitskoye Estate winery you will be introduced to the secrets of wine production. Tastings are held here, and the wines you like can be purchased in the company store.
An excursion trip to the ethnographic village of Ataman, where Cossack farmsteads and craft workshops have been recreated, will be memorable. Theatrical performances are held there and folklore ensembles perform. The visit program also includes a delicious lunch at a Cossack tavern, where dishes are prepared according to ancient recipes.
Not far from Atamani there is an archaeological location “Hermonassa-Tmutarakan”. The ruins of a Greek polis from the ancient era, as well as the remains of structures from the times of Ancient Rus', were excavated here. Valuable artifacts found by archaeologists are displayed in the showcases of the museum in Temryuk.
The most vivid impressions will be left by a trip to the Lotus Valley. In the famous valley you will see not a land lowland, but a sea estuary with gently rolling hills. The surface of the water is covered with large green leaves, reminiscent of malachite dishes with a pearl-matte sheen. It seems that you can step on them and walk from shore to shore. Above the magnificent green “sidewalk” rise stems with buds and lush blooming flowers, some of them the size of a football. Fragrant petals are painted in a palette of cream, pink, and red shades. The lotus bloom lasts 35-45 days, and this miracle happens, as if by order, just at the peak of the resort season in Taman - from July to August. You cannot pick rare flowers; they are listed in the Red Book. Don’t even try to secretly break the taboo: nature itself will gently punish you. The plucked lotus will sadly wither in a few minutes, and the mood will be ruined. Before your trip, don’t forget to charge your smartphone to take a wonderful photo session here.
It is curious that Indian lotuses have difficulty taking root in neighboring bays and eriks. Fastidious plants require a special climate and water composition, a weak current, a shallow depth of a warm reservoir, loose silt saturated with certain minerals, covering the bottom. Hydrobiologists have repeatedly tried to create new lotus plantations here, but after a few years the plants died: the young shoots were choked by the thickets of reeds and sedges. Only this estuary with its unique ecosystem turned out to be a suitable reservoir for lotuses. By the way, in our country you can admire these magnificent flowers, growing freely in nature, only on the Taman Peninsula, in the reserve near Astrakhan and in the Far East.
The walk to the Lotus Valley begins from the pier of the boat station in the area of the village of Peresyp, which is 12 km from the village of Golubitskaya. From the local bazaar to the pier you can walk, take a bus or taxi. Motor boats are designed for 12-15 passengers. When all the seats are filled with tourists, the boat sets off. While waiting for the next group of excursionists to gather, you can while away the time - usually 10-15 minutes - under a canopy that protects from the Kuban sun. There are benches and a TV on. For an hour-long walk along the estuary, the boatman collects 500 rubles per person.
