Inexpensive holiday in Vityazevo with a child: review from a mother. Inexpensive holiday in Vityazevo with a child: review from Vityazevo mother early July

20.11.2019

I was on vacation in Vityazevo in the first half of July 2016. The vacation spot was determined based on a last minute offer from a travel agency and the hotel’s proximity to the sea. By the way, a very good hotel,

In the meantime, I’ll tell you point by point about your vacation in Vityazevo:

How to get there.

1) By train to Anapa station, and then by taxi for 300-400 rubles. Taxi drivers standing at the station ask for 500 - it's expensive. Travel time from the station to Vityazevo is 15 minutes. You can also drive public transport with a transfer. But it's not worth it.

3) By car. There is a car camping in Vityazevo. Lovers tent rest They are located in entire camps on the outskirts of the village.

Atmosphere and location

Vityazevo is a village located near Anapa, where you can reach by minibus taxis in 40 minutes. On the outskirts of Vityazevo it is quite calm, and you can hide from the endless bustle and noise (of which there is an excess in Anapa itself). However, in the center of Vityazevo (the central beach, areas near Paralia) there is the same Anapa: merchants, din, dirt, smoke from the barbecue, oversaturation of the central beach with people (literally there is nowhere for an apple to fall). We lived on the outskirts, where there were fewer people on the beach.

Where to stay.

a) If you are a lover of action, people, entertainment, settle closer to Paralia and the central beach. In addition, if you are traveling without food, then this is where most of the cafes are located;

b) if you are aiming for a hotel with meals and a quiet holiday, then I advise you to consider hotels or boarding houses in Vityazevo on the outskirts of the coast close to the sea.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT! Helpful Tips:

1) do not settle near LIMAN. In the evening it emits a stench; 2) choose a hotel with a generator, as the lights in the village are periodically turned off!

Attractions and entertainment.

The main attraction of Vityazevo is Paralia. This is an alley leading to the central beach, on both sides of which there are rows of stalls with trade, attractions, outdoor cafes, canteens, toilets, etc. It is hardly possible to stay on this street for more than 10 minutes.

If you want to see beautiful landscapes, architectural objects of history, then this is definitely not the place for you.

The obvious advantage of Vityazevo is that it is quieter than in Anapa, there are slightly fewer people.

Vityazevo has its own dolphinarium, the now popular “house upside down” attraction, attractions, a water park, a diving center, a lotus lake, boat rides, catamarans, bananas, paragliding, fishing, all kinds of folk craft delights are sold on the beaches (waffle rolls, sausages in dough, khachapuri, etc.). It’s difficult for me to evaluate the delights of the above, since I didn’t participate in anything (except for waffle rolls).

In Vityazevo there are many booths selling excursions from various travel agencies. We went to two: to the Bolshoi Utrish Dolphinarium (HARD!) and to

In Vityazevo prices are the same as in Moscow.

Beach.

The beach is sandy. Relatively clean, like Vityazevo itself. On the beaches, places on sunbeds are paid (a separate sunbed under an umbrella - 150 rubles, a wooden sunbed under a common awning - 100 rubles). There are businessmen who try to charge 200 for a sunbed, but they are rather the exception. You can also buy your own umbrella and bedding on Paralia itself. On the very central beach there are a lot of people. Lots of merchants and noise. Toilets are rare, and those that exist are paid and dirty. It’s scary to imagine where all this crowd goes to the toilet))) On other beaches (if you go to the right or left of the central beach) it is much better.

From time to time there is a terrible wind on the beach that blows away large beach umbrellas. This wind makes many people sick

Sea.

The sea is the same as in Anapa. You'll be lucky with the mud. They say she won't be here in June. We were there in July and there was mud almost all days. If you swim behind the buoys, the water is almost transparent, but in the interval from the shore to these buoys there is a lot of mud, at times it floats in a dense manner, at times it floats sparsely. Huge pieces of green mud then fall out of the swimsuit.

On the shore, the mud collects in slides along the entire beach, emits a corresponding smell of rotting, flies fly over it all - it’s unpleasant to go into the sea. Some children have a gag reflex. The amount of mud depends directly on the strength of the wind.

Rumors about infections and rotavirus.

When I was preparing for the trip, I read a bunch of reviews about scary sticks that supposedly infest the sea. At first this really bothered me. But then I saw how people did not observe basic hygiene, and I realized that it was not the sea...

On the beaches and just in the surrounding area you can observe the rampant machinations of vacationers’ habits: eating with dirty hands, candy wrappers, etc. Corn sellers rub salt on the cobs with their bare hands, which they use to take money. I wrote above about the low number of toilets and the dirt in them.

Therefore, where people get the infection from is clear to me personally.

Trade on Paralia.

On Paralia there is everything: from medicines to nails. On Paralia you can buy homemade wines and wines of various varieties on tap, we liked Isabella, various cognacs and wines from local factories that are not sold in Moscow.

There are many cafes, but not all inspire confidence. We were in the barbecue yard, which is on the corner across the road from the entrance to Paralia, it was good there.

Problems with light and water.

There are problems with water in the entire village of Vityazevo: it is turned off during the day for several hours in a row (there will be neither cold nor hot during this period). So every day. When you come home from the beach at lunchtime, the first thing you want to do is wash. But that’s not the case) I noticed that for some this is not critical, here everyone chooses for themselves. This suits many people. We always had water in the morning and evening. Periodically, there was no water at night.

Many also complain about power outages. We were in a hotel that has its own generator, so this problem did not affect us. If you live with a private owner, you will most likely suffer from a lack of light and water from time to time.

Result:

Unfortunately, my review turned out to be quite negative. But it is not all that bad. Sea, sand and sun - everything is beautiful. I just wanted to tell you about the disadvantages that can darken your vacation. Personally, I didn’t know about the wind on the beach, the mud and the crazy number of people. This was an unpleasant surprise for me. Therefore, I personally will not return to Vityazevo again, as I am accustomed to more comfortable conditions.

I wrote about the experience of our holiday in Anapa itself.

We vacationed in July 2016.
Considering the specifics of my work, namely not the possibility of traveling abroad, I can only compare it with our resorts, and I have visited them a lot.
The village is small, elongated, there is little vegetation, a lot has been cut down for guest houses. Very busy traffic on the central streets and adjacent to the resort area. I won’t even begin to criticize visiting regions for their lack of basic respect for road users and pedestrians, compared to what the locals do, this is brutal. The concept of changing lanes has been completely eliminated; a stick that turns on yellow lights on the sides of the car is an unnecessary gadget. Gas streets (even in residential areas), loud loud music are the norm. Particularly indignant is parking!!! Visitors park their cars more or less carefully along the sidewalk. Local, 123,93,26-regions - they don’t care how to put it, I’ve seen many times how the sidewalk is completely blocked by the hood and mothers with strollers go out onto the road (oncoming traffic) to get around this...... They can leave the car right in the lane and walk away , when going around you have to go into oncoming traffic, often through a continuous road - that’s where the feeding trough is for the gays. At pedestrian crossings, be careful; if you don’t get run over, you might swear at them.
The sidewalks of Chernomorskaya Street leading to Paralia are the height of “perfection and safety.” It's so hard to put up fences and railings. The sidewalk is located almost a meter above the level of the roadway and it is very narrow (1-1.5 m), when a crowd walks towards the sea, it is possible to fall on the hood of a passing car or under it.
Garbage, garbage, garbage - everywhere. On Paralia there are garbage cans every 5-10 meters. There is not a SINGLE trash can on the streets. Cigarette butts, paper, shells - everywhere. There are not a single trash can at the shops and market stalls, people try and, not seeing where to throw the garbage, they immediately throw it at the feet of themselves and the sellers.
Paralia. A long street with blaring music, people jostling, a sea of resort tents. As an everywhere. But there is no beauty as such, tents and tents. There is nothing to catch your eye on (for example, like in Kabardinka). At night it’s the same thing, only the music is even louder and the smell of smoke and barbecue is everywhere.
Beach. In July it was already dirty. Bulls, small garbage, bits of wood. There’s no point in arguing here, only the vacationers are to blame. People's swinishness progresses, where they ate (smoked) there and then........ And the next day they will lay out the rug on their own...... There is a lot, a lot of sand. There are many water slides and drink stalls on the beach. There are peddlers constantly walking around (samosas, corn, shrimp, etc.). Various animals are carried along the beach for photographing. Negroes tumba-yumba climb to take pictures with everyone. (Special attention with them. One photo costs 150 rubles, no matter for a camera or a phone, that’s how much you click on them - that’s how much you’ll pay, the wiring is the same).
Sea. It was blooming. The algae was dense at the very edge of the beach, less so further down. As an option, we found it by going down from the main entrance (from Paralia), turning right and walking 300-400 meters. There is a sandbank in the sea, after swimming about 50 meters from the shore, the water there is clear of algae. Fish and crabs swim. Flowering is not for everybody. There was no smell.
Entertainment at sea. As everywhere else, bananas, buns, parachutes - in great abundance. Diving, boats.
Holiday safety. But she’s not there!! There are observation towers for rescuers, but they themselves do not walk along the shore; I have never seen their boats. There are no buoys limiting the swimming (swimming) areas of vacationers. There are also no areas for the movement of jet skis or boats to the sea, with the exception of some attractions (such as “Adrenaline”) - there are technical exit areas. There have been cases when boats pass in the sea almost over the heads of vacationers (Dolphin diving). During the storm on July 19-20, rescuers did not walk along the shore and did not shout into a bullhorn; it is clear that this would not have helped - but this was not done. 2 people drowned. One was thrown ashore, and rescuers refused to swim after the second. They have no boats (equipment).
Security during the day is low. There are a couple of police officers stationed at the entrance to Paralia and can sometimes be seen walking along the street. At night there are already a lot of patrol officers; on Paralia there are 3-5 people walking in groups. I have never seen anyone walking along the beach, although sometimes they could have persecuted me for smoking and drinking alcohol (without packages).
Excursions are standard for Sea of Azov+ offer to the mountains. I really liked Cypress Lake, although everything around was dirty. View of the sea from Swallow's Nests (not to be confused with Crimea).
Compared to Kabardinka, Divnomorsk and Gelendzhik, Yeisk - 6 out of 10. And that’s only because of the sand on the beach and the sea. The lack of order and cleanliness on the streets, idiocy with cars and problems with the lack of electricity and water in the village (permanent) - reduces the joy of relaxation.

Maria, her husband and one-and-a-half-year-old daughter visited the Vityazevo resort in August. This article describes her experience of organizing family vacation and leisure in the village, a selection of places to stay, tips on saving and planning.

August rightfully considered best time for holidays with children. We decided to check if this is true.

On the plus side this season:

The water in the sea is warm and does not cool down until early morning.
The sun is no longer as scorching as in July, and spending time outside is much more comfortable, especially for a child.
There are a lot of vacationers with children - the child will have company. This is what happened for us: one-and-a-half-year-old Nadya “became friends” with neighbors in rooms from one to five years old.

Of the minuses August:

The water in the sea is blooming and already quite dirty. Unfortunately, most tourists do not consider it their duty to take their garbage and scraps to the trash can, and bottles, corn cobs, watermelon rinds, and cigarette butts end up in the water. Of course, all this is removed, but the impression is spoiled.
There is a lot of algae on the shore, they are also removed, but they manage to accumulate within a day. The child was very afraid of them.
The water smells bad as a result of the bloom. But this is perceptible only to people with a good sense of smell. Most didn't smell it.

Accommodation

Vityazevo, in my opinion, is a very inconvenient village for resort area. It is somehow absurdly elongated, with an inconvenient location of public buildings and shops.

Houses in the immediate vicinity it is not close to the sea.

go to the beach at best 15-20 minutes. A double room at this distance costs from one thousand to five thousand, depending on the availability of parking, a swimming pool in the yard, and a toilet and shower in the room.

At worst, you'll have to take a minibus the same 20 minutes, or even half an hour. A double room will cost from five hundred rubles to two thousand.

We spent half a day driving around the village looking for housing. They offered us everything - from luxurious three-story mansions with excellent renovation, air conditioning, a refrigerator, a microwave in the room and such infrastructure that you didn’t have to leave the yard (shop, swimming pool and cafe on site) to rickety sheds, where the furniture included a bed with an armored mesh and a rickety plastic table, and the door is locked with a hook.

We settled in a 20-minute walk to the sea on the third floor of a home hotel. Shower and toilet are on the floor, as well as a kitchen with two stoves and dishes.

A big plus is that smokers were allocated a place outside the yard in order to smoke without disturbing anyone, and the owners stopped smoking in the house, on the balconies and in the yard.

The road to the beach goes through the market. Everything is sold there - from clothes to ready-made food. And they prepare food right here in the market. Therefore, on the way from the beach, whether you like it or not, you breathe in the smells of all these “fresh kebabs” and “delicious lula”.

The table contains accommodation options for a family of two with a child (an extra bed will be required for a child) in July 2018 - from the most budget to the luxury level. The price is per day.

Food: cafes, canteens, shops

We cooked breakfast at home. Products were purchased from local stores. Their prices were not much different from the prices in our city (we are from Rostov-on-Don). Some are cheaper, some are more expensive. Price range up to ten rubles.

On the way to the beach there are several inexpensive snack bars, cafes, and canteens. You can dine on three courses (first course, second course with side dish and salad) and drink from 500 to 2000 rubles per person. We took half the portion for the child; the waiters and sellers were always loyal to this. On average, it cost us 600-800 rubles per adult and about 200-300 rubles per child.

Dinner was bought at ready-made food kiosks or barbecued or baked potatoes. Grandma bought dairy products for dinner at the store and fruit at the market. We took our daughter or ready-made baby food such as mashed potatoes and porridge, or prepared it ourselves.

Beach

There is only one beach in the village. Infrastructure is practically non-existent. It’s good that there was a wooden flooring all the way to the water, because it’s uncomfortable to walk on deep hot sand.

The trash cans are somewhere at the very beginning of the beach. I had to carry all the garbage with me.

Advantages of the beach:

Sand. We adults prefer pebbles, but my daughter enthusiastically played with mold toys and built castles.
The sea, even at a decent distance from the shore, is very shallow. Again, it’s inconvenient for adults, but it’s just right for a child. You can splash freely and we were not afraid that after a few steps the depth would begin.
Availability of sun canopies.

Disadvantages of the beach:

The beach is not located along the edge of the coast, but goes out to the sea in a long, wide wedge. Very long! As a result, there is no room to squeeze between towels and sun loungers near the water, and the beach is not at all full. Who wants to splash around in the sun for fifteen minutes to swim, and then go back to their things.
Due to the fact that the beach is not wide, the swimming area is also small. During “peak hours” (10-12 o’clock) we poured water into the children’s inflatable pool for our daughter so that she would not be trampled into the sea.

Leisure

There is nothing to walk or see in Vityazevo itself. There is also nothing to entertain the children with.

In fact, there is still something in Vityazevo - we have described in detail all the attractions and entertainment. But, compared to Anapa, there really isn’t much.

We drove (fortunately, we have our own car). We visited the dolphinarium and mobile zoo on Pionersky Prospekt.

The only place suitable for walking is the Parallia embankment. One of the children's entertainments on it is a Ferris wheel. That's all.

Having nothing better to do, we bought tickets and sat in a booth with our daughter. In vain, she was terribly scared and sobbed all the time while the wheel was turning.

Then we didn’t even walk past this carousel in order to injure it.

We spent the evenings in the courtyard of the home hotel. The hotel owner equipped the courtyard with a children's playground with swings, ropes and rope ladders.

The roads there are completely unsuitable for mothers with strollers. The sidewalks are narrow and high; the school sometimes had to be lifted by hand because there is no smooth descent. The stroller interferes with passers-by; they cannot get around it, since they will have to go down from the sidewalk onto a rather busy roadway.

When you go on vacation with your child, you should definitely take a first aid kit with you. Medicines at resorts are expensive, antipyretics are three (!) times more expensive than at home, and antivirals are five times more expensive.

My daughter, unfortunately, got sick. We waited for an ambulance when we called for a temperature of 39 C in a one and a half year old child from 17 to 23 hours.

The next day at the local outpatient clinic they refused to see us under our policy, saying that there was no pediatrician. But after paying for the appointment, the pediatrician was found and accepted us, advising us to go home and get treatment there. For an additional fee, he prescribed an antiviral.

What should you take with you when traveling with a child?

Medicines for the child (check the list with your pediatrician)

Antipyretic in suspension or syrup (if there is no refrigerator, the candles will melt, and it is inconvenient to give the tablet to the baby) - paracetamol, nurofen;
- Antiviral in syrup - cytovir;
- Enterosorbent in case of food poisoning - enterosgel;
- In case of diarrhea and vomiting - syrups of appropriate action - stopdiar and motilium;
- Hemostatic agent (dicinone in ampoules) and materials for dressings (bandage, cotton pads, adhesive plaster),
- Hand sanitizer and germicidal wet wipes.

Baby needs a lot drinking water on the road for a walk. Just water, not juice or milk.
Quick snack.

For babies - puree in jars or soft bags, vegetable or fruit. On the road, milk, meat and fish purees are poorly tolerated.
- For older children - vegetables, fruits, whole grain bread, but not chips, crackers or other snacks.

A set of spare clothes within minutes, including underwear and shoes. A baby can wet himself or relieve himself more seriously on the road, and any child can become sick to the point of vomiting.
Toys (large so that they can be easily found and picked up), a coloring book with a pencil attached (for older children, the pencil may not be tied), new or, conversely, favorite books with bright pictures.
A terry towel on the seat and oilcloth under the sheet, even for toilet-savvy children. New surroundings and the stress of travel can dull the feeling of urges.

If you have not yet chosen where you will live and want to save money when booking, we recommend using the RoomGuru service. Firstly, it contains hotels, apartments and guest houses from a variety of different systems booking and you won't miss out on a worthwhile option. Secondly, you can immediately compare prices for one place in different services and book where it is cheaper (this is not always Booking!).

Classmates

We went to Vityazevo with our eight-year-old son in August 2017 and didn’t regret it at all. We actually went to the sea three times out of a week-long stay, during which time we managed to sunbathe, swim, and ride a banana boat. We lived in a hotel house on Limonnaya with all the amenities in the room, you could cook your own meals, or there was a visiting cook, from whom you ordered an incredibly delicious breakfast at an affordable price in the morning. During the day, as a rule, you eat somewhere in a cafe. We easily got to the beach on a route that ran every five minutes. We also decided to walk one time - it was a bit far, but! there were so many interesting things along the way: as a true shopaholic, I just didn’t even want to go to the beach... By the way, we spent the rest of the time on excursions and there wasn’t even enough time for everything we wanted. And we went to the Knight's Castle in Sukko, and plunge into the mouth mud volcano Tizar, and then to swim in Azov, and to holy places (very interesting!), and even to Kabardinka (I recommend it to everyone!) - there is nothing like this anywhere, and on the way they also took us to Gelendzhik for a couple of hours for a walk. We also managed to go to the water park and dolphinarium in Vityazevo, and visit the elephant show (I really liked it), and we went for a walk in Anapa. So there wasn’t even enough time for everything. And most importantly, for some reason no one writes about the Vityazevsky Estuary. We went there almost every evening healing mud. For free! And in beauty salons, a mask made from such mud (though purified) costs 3,000 rubles.
For comparison, in 2018 we went to Adler. In my opinion, Vityazevo is much better for a family holiday with children. This year, when choosing a vacation spot, we definitely decided that it would be Vityazevo.

We vacationed in Vityazevo at the beginning of September 2017 as a family with two children (4 years and six months). I want to say right away that we structured our vacation as follows - 4 days in Anapa itself, 6 days in Vityazevo. In Anapa they lived in guest house Petrostil, hostess Juliet. A room with air conditioning, a refrigerator and a TV, a shower and toilet in the room cost us 2000 rubles (for three people), breakfast included. Breakfast was very poor, we left feeling hungry. The room was not cleaned even once during the 4 days we stayed. Furniture includes two single beds made into a double bed and a collapsible chair-bed for a child, a small wardrobe for clothes, a table with a mirror and a small floor refrigerator, air conditioning. During our 4 days in Anapa we relaxed on the Central Beach (let me tell you straight away, it was terribly dirty sand beach, a bunch of algae on the shore that no one cleans up, the sea stinks of these rotting algae). We had to wade deep into the sea through floating algae to swim. The children were afraid of algae floating in the water. The guest house is located right in the center of Anapa, you can rent baby strollers. In the territory guest house tables under a canopy and chairs, the playground includes a plastic swing for children under 3 years old and a slide for the same age + a plastic house. In the center there is a singing fountain, an amusement park, and all kinds of entertainment. We visited the house with the children upside down (the house is upside down), ordered a portrait of the youngest child (by the way, an A3 size portrait in pencil cost 500 rubles. In Koktebel 2 years ago they paid 5,000 rubles for a family portrait of a slightly larger size). We took the children to the exotarium, rode the carousel, and visited the Nemo Dolphinarium (by the way, I highly recommend it - it was impressive). The children and I went to the market to buy fruit, 5 minutes from the guest house. You can also buy fish there for those who like it. The guest house is well located in this regard. I liked Anapa itself only for its infrastructure, the beach is disgusting. In 4 days we visited everything we wanted and found interesting with our children. But for 6 days of stay in Vityazevo the picture is completely opposite. We lived at the Dolce Vita Hotel, Yuzhny Avenue 7. The very center of Vityazevo. It’s 15 minutes to the sea with two children, slowly going through all the tents and taking pictures with statues of Greek gods, walking through Paralia. A stroller for a small child is included with the hotel service. We used strollers for free and with pleasure. By the way, the sea is clean!!! There were no algae at all - I can’t even believe it when compared to Anapa. The beach is more like a wild one with sand dunes, very wide. There were always sunbeds available. The sea with a smooth dive is enough long distance shallow water, which is a plus when vacationing with children. The children splashed in the sea with pleasure, even on days when there were huge waves (they jumped on the waves with their daughter). We vacationed in Koktebel 2 times and both times we caught an intestinal infection, since the sea is still dirtier, although the beach is clean and pebble. While vacationing in Vityazevo, everything went without illness. 3-bed room without a balcony (ground floor) with all amenities - 2300 rubles per day (TV, air conditioning, excellent interior, refrigerator, excellent furniture in the rooms - a double Euro bed and a single single bed for a child). The lack of a balcony did not bother us at all; we dried things on the street on ropes. The only thing was that we had to close the window in the evening when we went to bed (it was noisy by the pool), but with the air conditioning this disadvantage was not felt. Breakfast was not included, which was nice after Anapa))) The hotel has its own dining room, prices are very reasonable, the menu is varied. The hotel has its own store and its own cafe where you can order sushi and pizza. The pizza is delicious and thin. There is a heated swimming pool and a full-fledged children's playground on site. And what is VERY important when vacationing with children, every other day there are 20 hours of animation for children. This allows adults to relax carefree on the open terrace located on the roof of the cafe and enjoy VERY tasty kebab cooked in their own kebab shop and night views of Vityazevo. And there is something to see in the evening! The whole of Paralia lights up with all kinds of illumination in the darkness. You can also take part in an animated show with your children. Animations are in no way inferior to Turkey and Egypt. Comparison rooms were cleaned every day. By the end of your stay at this hotel, you could take a whole suitcase home if you wanted. toilet paper. They brought a roll every other day, even if it was not needed. The bed sheets were changed every day and the room was cleaned. The staff is VERY responsive and inviting. We went to the sea every other day because it was impossible to get the children out of the pool. The pool has a children's area and hydromassage. Along the perimeter of the pool there are sun loungers and chairs for those who want to sunbathe. As you exit the hotel gate there is a tent selling boiled corn, nuts, fruits and vegetables. Everything you need for comfortable rest family within walking distance. The cost of food in the cafe varies, it all depends on your desires and preferences. The price starts from 200 rubles. We were very pleased with Vityazevo, we recommend it to all our friends and relatives. This year we are going there too, Dolce Vita is waiting for us!!! This year we are planning to visit the water park. We will go in September with a slightly larger group. By the way, the hotel has a free transfer from Anapa train station. We also left in a car ordered by the girls at the reception, but at our own expense))) In general, we had something to compare with and were pleasantly surprised by the service of the Vityazevo hotel.

We vacationed in Vityazevo in the summer of 2017 with my husband and 1.5 year old child. We really liked everything! We went to eat at the buffet, it was much cheaper than eating in regular cafes, and what a delicious meal! And the hotel was good, not far from the sea, and the price was reasonable compared to neighboring hotels. We are thinking of going again this year.

I read the review and what immediately caught my eye was that everything was far from the sea. it is not true. We have been vacationing in Vityazevo for 3 years now, this year will be the fourth. There are hotels on the first line, just open the map and look, we, for example, relax on Golden Sands Street - it’s 2 minutes to the sea at a leisurely pace with children and a stroller.
I really like the village itself, the sand is gorgeous, they clean it twice a day, I personally observe this every year. And everything you need for relaxation is in the village; you don’t have to travel anywhere to go to a water park or a dolphinarium, for example, unlike in similar villages on the coast. But at the same time it's not big resort town like Sochi, Gelendzhik or Anapa itself, fewer people, large beach. In general, we like it there and recommend it to all our friends and relatives)
We visited Vityazevo three years ago with a friend and children. Before this, my friend vacationed there twice. You can get to Anapa by minibus - I liked that the minibuses have air conditioning. We lived a 10-minute walk to the sea in a private sector. I liked everything, except the beach, indeed, as they wrote above, there is nowhere for an apple to fall. You can’t lie on the bedspread - in two minutes your mouth and nose will be full of sand, as they practically walk on their heads. On the plus side: there is an amusement park and an excellent water park.

We had a family vacation in August in the village of Vityazevo. On the plus side, I can mention the large sandy beach; this is an excellent option for a holiday with a child. When we were resting, the sea near the shore was blooming and everything was covered in algae, but if we swam further it was clear. We lived in the private sector and it took us 20 minutes to walk to the sea, but we love hiking And this is not a problem for us. While walking to the sea, we passed many different tents with souvenirs. We were in season, so there were a lot of people on the beach, but there was no feeling that there was nowhere for the apple to fall. On the beach there are many different slides for children and a lot of entertainment, for example you can ride a banana, etc. I recommend a holiday in Vityazevo for families with children and on a small budget.

I had a good holiday in September. We traveled like savages, that is, we only bought train tickets and wrote out a bunch of mini-hotel phone numbers. The station is very strange, at the entrance there is a queue to scan things, but walk around 2 meters and you will pass calmly without any scanners. At the station there are a lot of private traders who shamelessly charge a huge amount for a taxi. We got there by regular minibus. The central beach left a feeling of dirt, but between the fenced-off camps there are passages to their beaches, which were empty at quiet times; we had a great time relaxing there. We lived in a cottage, rented a room, there was a swimming pool in the yard, it cost 3,000 rubles for 4 days for 4 people, although we cooked it ourselves. If buying food near the beaches is incredibly expensive, it was cheaper to go to any canteen - fortunately there are a lot of them there and you can eat in peace. And in the private sector, where we lived, prices were already acceptable. True assortment local stores was very strange. Relax with the kids - perfect place, if you drive not at the peak, it’s quiet. calm, friendly. I am pleased
We were in Vityazevo in 2008, at the end of May - beginning of June before the official opening of the season. I am with my eight-year-old son and a friend with a one-and-a-half-year-old baby. The sea was not yet blooming, the water temperature for us northerners (and we are from the Far North) was quite normal. My eight-year-old son did not want to get out of the water. They built sand castles, buried themselves in the sand, and swam. I taught him to swim in a small pool at a hotel (more precisely, a guest house). There was nothing to entertain the child there, of course. Local businessmen have installed an inflatable slide and a child is sliding into the mini-pool. Ten minutes - fifty rubles for that money, pure ruin. We went to Utrish and saw dolphins. The food was provided at the guest house, in its own cafe, prepared well by a female chef, and everything was always fresh. It was important for us. The air conditioner in the room worked. It saved us, the heat was intense. We went swimming in the sea early in the morning and in the evening, and spent the day in our room. Not particularly impressed, we won't go there again.
My husband, my 4-year-old son and I went on vacation to Vityazevo in the summer (August) of 2016. We rented a room in a private house. It took 10-15 minutes to get to the beach. The memories remain unforgettable. This simple village by the sea has such chic architecture! The sand is warm and soft. The only thing I didn't like was a mayonnaise packet floating in the sea after a small storm. Otherwise, I liked everything. By right, Vityazevo can be considered a children's resort. All conditions for children are fully created, only the amusement park and water park are worth it! Our son really liked and remembered the resort. I think we will go there again in the near future.
Last summer we vacationed in Vityazevo with my sister and schoolgirl niece. We lived in the private sector, rented a room in a private house, accommodation in this format is relatively inexpensive. The house is well-equipped, the room is large, the only negative was long road to the beach. So those who lived in hotels near Paralia benefited: it was close to the beach and there was somewhere to go for a walk in the evening. We liked the amusement park, the child rode almost all of them. In many ways, relaxation depends on your mood - if you just lie on the beach during the day, and in the evening wander around the village or sit at home, then you are unlikely to enjoy your vacation. Besides, there really is nothing to do in the village itself. And there really are a lot of children here. Vityazevo is rightfully considered a children’s resort and many bring their children here for treatment, especially with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Unfortunately, the blooming sea really spoils the impression; perhaps you should go early, in May-June, while the water is clear.

It seems to me that Vityazevo is a very good option for a holiday with children, and for adults you can easily get to Anapf. We lived in Laguna, and overall everything was fine. I'm glad that even Russian resorts, let's say, the second circle, they are already offering all the benefits of civilization with all their might, such as wifi and transfers from airports and train stations. One of the downsides, perhaps, would be the presence of a bunch of children - one got sick, and it spread to everyone. In Sochi, many people are afraid of rotavirus, something similar happened in Vityazevo last year, but we arrived in August and found it all just from the reviews of other vacationers

I was in Vityazevo for the first time 12 years ago, I was 18 years old then... at that time, it seemed to me that this place was a paradise (I myself am from Siberia) and one view of hanging vineyards, trees strewn with cherries and apricots amazed me! I thought it was very clean and beautiful! And with these memories, my husband and 3-year-old son went on vacation in 2015. My daughter was 1.5 years old at that moment, we left her with her grandmother, which I never regretted! It’s very uncomfortable there with kids, they can really get trampled on the beach... it’s very difficult to keep an eye on your child in this crowd, you definitely need to be nearby. We also vacationed in August, and it was even disgusting to go into the water, there was a huge layer of greenery on the shore. On the third day of arrival, the child fell ill, a strong cough began at night (we often have laryngitis, sometimes only an injection helps) they called an ambulance, they immediately told us that we would have to wait a very long time, they advised us to come ourselves, so we did, they provided us with help, even without policy, gave me an injection and gave me some medicine to inhale at night, which I was very grateful for.
The only thing I liked was the accommodation, which I found myself and booked in advance on the Internet, a home hotel, with a swimming pool, and that’s where we spent most time. Also, my son and I were delighted with the dolphinarium! There are no special attractions for children in Vityazevo Park, but for some reason there is a lot of money left there) I liked the water park in the village, everything was done very well for children!
But in general, I don’t want to go there anymore, it feels like a huge bazaar, dirty sea and an anthill on the beach!
