Museums and attractions: photos with descriptions
St. Panteleimon Church
The church dates back to the end of the 19th century. They say that it was built by immigrants from Greece. While on the run from Turkish troops, they miraculously managed to smuggle in the face of the healer Panteleimon. In the first half of the last century, the temple was completely destroyed. But the cathedral was restored only in the 90s. The icon was saved and today it is ranked among the miraculous. Pilgrims from different parts of the world knelt before her and asked for healing.
Battery Zubkov
The exhibits have been preserved since the Great Patriotic War. During the war years, Kabardinka was located only 20 kilometers from the front line. The coastal troops were under the command of Andrei Zubkov, who controlled Tsemes Bay. Thanks to the efforts of the fighters, the enemy was unable to break through and take control of the port. The battery came under fire. More than 7,000 bombs were detonated and thousands of soldiers were killed. In the middle of the last century, a monument was erected on this site. Today a memorial museum is opened here. Trees, craters, and naval guns, wounded by shrapnel, remind us of the past difficult years of our country...

The Legend of the Castalian Font
In ancient times, in distant Hellas, in the city of Xenaphos, there lived King Nereus, who had many daughters. They were all called Nereids because no one could remember their real names. Travelers were captivated by the beauty of the girls, not knowing that they could change their appearance. And the wanderers were often at a loss.
The youngest daughter, Lydia, was inconspicuous among her older sisters, and the young men did not notice her. Not finding her betrothed, at the age of 17 Lydia decided to leave with the skilled navigator Jason, who was equipping his ships to Colchis, to the shores of the Pontus Euxine - now the Black Sea. Having secretly entered the ship, every night the girl turned into the goddess Nereid and danced under the moon.
One night, one of Jason's warriors, Dmitry, came out on deck and saw a dancing girl. Captivated by her beauty, he fell in love with Lydia. The young man swore to keep her secret if she appeared before him in daylight. Lydia also fell in love with Dmitry, but was afraid that when he saw her during the day, he would be disappointed in her.
At that time, Jason's ship sailed past Batory Bay - now Tsemesskaya, and then Lydia turned into a Nereid and left the ship. She searched for shelter for a long time until she ended up in the Juniper Gap of the Markotsky Range.
Magic Lake
Her amazement and joy knew no bounds when she saw a small lake and stream, similar to her favorite Kastalian places in Hellas. And she decided to stay here forever. It was truly a magical place! Every day Lydia swam in the lake and did not notice how she turned into a slender, blond, extraordinary beauty.
Meanwhile, Dmitry, having lost his beloved, left Jason’s ship to find her. A lot of time passed until he learned from the wanderer Boreas that a lonely girl of extraordinary beauty lived in the Juniper Gap. And Dmitry hurried to those parts.
On the way, he was seriously wounded by militant highlanders, but this did not stop the young man. Losing strength, he reached Lydia. The wounds were so severe that the girl could not save him.
In order not to be separated from her beloved, Lydia turned him into a goldfish in her lake, and she herself remained standing like a stone heron in it.
She turned her beloved into a goldfish in her lake...
King Nereus, having learned about what had happened, sailed to those parts. He turned into a mighty oak tree to spend the rest of his days with his youngest daughter, guarding the peace of Lydia and Dmitry.
This is such a beautiful and sad legend about the Castalian font...
Wild places to relax in the sun
Not far from Kabardinka, where civilization ends and the observation deck begins, there is a wild, unequipped beach for supporters of silence and unity with nature. The easiest way to get to the desired location is by private car. A historical monument dedicated to revolutionary sailors serves as an identification mark. The area is lost between high rocks, and dozens of paths previously made by tourists lead to the sea.
Advice! It is recommended to bring a tent or sleeping bag to spend a night or even a couple of days here. Sausages or meat roasted over an open-air fire will provide the best time for any tourist on the south coast. It should be remembered that special employees do not monitor the surface of the territory, so it is better to protect your feet from sharp stones and boulders. But the sea water is very clean and transparent.
Another wild place is located next to Mount Penai. You can only get there by car, leaving it on the road in advance. Due to the rockiness, the coastal edge reaches several meters, no more. This makes it difficult to fully relax under the sun, especially when lying down. In some places the rocks reach the beginning of the sea, which complicates the full installation of a tent for an overnight stay. The surface of the territory is covered with large pebbles, and there are no people here even in season.
Most of the beaches in Kabardinka are completely free and open to every vacationer. Coastal areas belonging to boarding houses, sanatoriums and recreation centers deserve special attention.
