Personal experience: an economical family vacation in Arkhipo-Osipovka. Rest in Arkhipo-Osipovka New Year in Arkhipo-Osipovka
I'll start from afar and with seemingly banal things: 1) before the planned vacation period, be sure to check the weather at the place of the proposed vacation with an emphasis on wind speed, it will be very disappointing to allocate 7 days from vacation and 3 of them not be able to plunge into the sea; 2) It is better to look for a place of residence on the spot, this does not constitute a problem, in resort cities 80% of the population is ready to rent you housing. Do not be scared and immediately rush to the Internet in search of housing on the Internet housing is much more expensive. Remember, a prerequisite is the presence of an air conditioner or, even better, a split system, overpay 200 rubles per day, but you do not have to languish from the heat and sweat like in a bath, and it is hot during the season not only during the day, but all 24 hours a day. Do not disdain to go into the bathroom and make sure that the toilet bowl and shower are in good working order, see how the toilet bowl flushes and in what condition it is, in principle, also check the shower for hot and cold water, in every second apartment the air conditioner, shower or toilet does not work at the proper level, and if after a day you want to return the money for one reason or another, you will be accused of carelessness and absurdity of character, the money may not be returned. All homeowners lease premises on a prepaid basis, the longer you check in, the lower the price per day of stay. Housing prices in Gelendzhik, Kabardinka and Arkhipo-Osipovka are the same. 3) You should not take a lot of things, but without fail it is 3 towels, a beach mat, some pants, a tracksuit, thermal underwear, sneakers, slippers that do not rub because most often you have to walk a lot, a hat. 4) Do not buy watermelons at all, if you do not want to spoil your vacation, they are all richly fed with saltpeter, which can lead to poisoning. 5) Be careful with your ears, especially if you like to swim longer and more often, frequent liquid entering the ear canal can cause congestion and inflammation, and this is terribly unpleasant, actively use a swimming cap, it will help to avoid such problems.
KABARDINKA. Being there at the end of July, the population there literally has nowhere to fall. Basically, the entire contingent consists of elderly people and their young grandchildren. The coastline is short, which will require a lot of intellectual and physical strength from you to find a refuge. The water is almost always calm, there is a pier from which it is allowed to jump and dive, an interesting activity that you will not find in Gelendzhik or Arkhipo-Osipovka. Pebble beach, clean and comfortable. The bottom in the equipped bathing areas is 90% even, without large peaks and sharp drops in depth. In the evening, you can also swim and, in addition, attractions and scams begin to work. Briefly speaking about scams, they are most developed here and feel great, unlike the other two sites presented. Among the scams, I referred to hanging on a rotating bar for 2 minutes, climbing a rotating ladder, raising a bottle with a fishing rod, etc. But I liked the evening program here the most, it is really interesting here, it seemed to me that it would be even more interesting in Gelendzhik, but I was wrong, there are other pluses about them further.
Gelendzhik. I want to say right away that the local people there seemed to me some kind of aggressive and sometimes inadequate, sometimes they didn’t even understand, I apologize in advance, I’m not talking about everyone, maybe I only came across such people. The city has a population of about 80 thousand, the beaches are much more spacious due to their greater length, but often you come across places with a "killed" bottom, bumps and stones with a sharp edge, you need to be more careful. The coast is sandy and pebbles, I generally respect pebbles more, but at this stage I chose sand, because the bottom is just beautiful in such places, it is also worth considering that jellyfish often invade Gelendzhik, but they are not dangerous and some kind of sticks and branches are floating , literally everywhere, but disappear after a couple of days. I spent three days in each of the three given areas, a sufficient time for a young man to get rid of these areas at the proper level. There is a water park "Zolotaya Bukhta" here, it is worth paying attention to, there are a lot of slides and for every taste, this is one of the largest water parks in Europe. I also advise you to take the cable car up the mountain on which there is also a Ferris wheel, if you are a contemplator. There are no scams at all, apparently the law enforcement agencies do not allow such activities on the territory of the city. Speaking of restaurants, cafes and nightclubs, this infrastructure is well developed in all areas, only the amount will have to be left there. I do not recommend staying here if you want to fully enjoy the sea.
Arkhipo-Osipovka. On the very first day, she met us with cloudy weather, and with a wind up to 10 m / s, which provoked waves of impressive size, those responsible were not allowed into the water, but people, despite the prohibitions, still stood near the shore and enjoyed the fact that the waves hit them on their feet , here you can fully experience what the ebb and flow is. The next day, the weather calmed down, the sun peeped out, the waves diminished but remained, swimming in them causes indescribable delight. It is much more interesting for me to swim in the waves than in their absence. The locals said that in "Arkhipka" the waves are much more frequent than in Gelendzhik or "Arkhipka", throughout the area the geographical position favors.
If you try to summarize, then it is as follows: in principle, all 3 sections are similar, but differ only in little things, but as you know, little things do not solve anything, little things decide everything. I ask you for possible grammatical errors, I wrote quickly, there was no time to double-check, while I wanted to present the material as fully as possible and at the same time in a concise form, which may be useful for many.
Geographical proximity to Gelendzhik and actual belonging to the legendary resort, it would seem, relieves Arkhipo-Osipovka from the notorious independence. Not all tourists perceive the village 125 kilometers from Krasnodar as an independent unit. However, this municipality does not suffer much from such a situation. Probably, it is the territorial aspect that is the necessary trump card in the sleeve, allowing the "village" on the Black Sea coast to receive a constant stream of vacationers. A place with views of the Russian backwoods, but endowed with classic (albeit provincial) nobility every summer receives crowds of vacationers, without thinking about legal subordination to one or another locality. The streets filled with pedestrians and crowded beaches make one ignore not too significant episodes in the biography of the famous Arhipka.
Let's go to Arhipka!
Despite the name “village”, Arkhipo-Osipovka is in no way synchronized with the concept of “submission of civilization”. First of all, this concerns transport hubs that allow tourists to reach their destination without any difficulties. In fact, the vicinity of Gelendzhik does not need additional improvement of road traffic (using the facilities of the older brother). Nevertheless, the infrastructure looks pretty solid, without frightening vacationers with sad contrasts with the famous neighbor.
Airplane? Yes exactly!
The presence of an airport in Gelendzhik solves the problem of movement in the vicinity of the Kuban health resort. Not in the sense that the "air harbor" will lead the passenger straight to a small village. However, its convenient location eliminates the difficulties of transferring to smaller districts of the Krasnodar Territory.
Buses and taxis
Unlike many small villages on the Black Sea coast, the path to Arkhipo-Osipovka does not look like an endless obstacle course. In principle, the famous village can be reached from any city in the Krasnodar Territory. The presence of the bus station on the territory of Arkhipka speaks for itself. Most visitors prefer to use Novorossiysk (a ticket costs around 200 rubles) and Krasnodar (a trip price of about 350 units in the same calculation) as a transit zone. Although, there are flights from, say, Armavir. In the same way, you can get to Arkhipo-Osipovka by taxi. We believe that for this method of movement it is better to choose urban areas not too distant from the village. For example, a road from Krasnodar will empty your wallet for about 2.5 thousand rubles, a voyage from Novorossiysk - for about a thousand in our national currency.
Hello dear guests!
The compactness of the settlement does not prevent it from rapidly developing the hotel industry. The number of offers of this kind here is comparable to the most popular resorts in the Russian Federation. The fusion of the private sector and commercial buildings creates a sense of a global rental market. However, the price demands of elite rooms are within the reach of the average budget. Well, there is no need to talk about apartments from local residents in this vein. Hotel-type structures, although they do not strive for architectural standardization, prefer not to stop at the highest heights. There are practically no multi-storey hotels here. However, most of these establishments try to accommodate all service sectors. Usually there is a cafe (subordinate to the "Hilton"), and a swimming pool (diving in which is included in the price). The price depends on the class and capacity of the room, but usually it ranges from two thousand rubles to infinity in 24 hours.
Budget hotel vs private sector
There are also lower class hotels here. But the rooms themselves are not too different from the more expensive options in the neighboring complexes. The lack of food outlets and a personal reservoir on the territory of the building is usually compensated by the presence of inexpensive cafes nearby and the proximity to the Black Sea coast. Here for a daily stay you will be charged in the region of 1,500 rubles. The private sector usually competes with the sanatorium facilities that remained in Arkhipo-Osipovka after the collapse of the USSR. The aforementioned complexes most often look like something similar to a cottage village. True, the buildings give off a rustic flavor. In principle, summer cottages are in no way inferior to competitors. In addition, the initial price from the latter is significantly lower. 800 rubles against one and a half thousand.
Heat of water and air
Gelendzhik region during the holiday season is rarely visited by weather disasters. Actually, the possessions of Arkhipo-Osipovka follow the same principles. The warm air walking along the coast keeps the temperature in the range from 25 to 35 degrees. Already in mid-May, the swimming season can be considered not only open, but also gaining momentum. Although, of course, the peak of tourist activity occurs in the first two summer months. On the other hand, August and the debut of September is a very popular time for vacationers.
When does the season start?
May, of course, in itself, is conducive to a visit to the resorts. Alas, the Black Sea, located in the patrimony of Arkhipo-Osipovka, by the beginning of the final month of spring, sometimes fails to gain stability in terms of the temperature of the water spaces. However, more often warm currents heat the reservoir, if not for the holiday of labor, then for the day of the great victory - for sure! June and July are traditionally the most popular months for holidays in Arkhipo-Osipovka. Of course, this part of the Gelendzhik region is by no means original. By the beginning of summer, the weather is close to ideal and does not lose its blissful stability. The water is heated to optimal temperatures and bathing is very close to the concept of "pleasure". However, one should not forget that the course of mountain rivers is capable of making its own adjustments. 11 degrees at sea, at the time of the established heat - this happens, however, it lasts no more than a day. August and September are an opportunity for late vacationers to make up for lost time. The air temperature is not too different from earlier periods of summer. The same is true for water. In a word, he warmly welcomes the guests of Arkhipo-Osipovka almost until the end of the first autumn month.
What to do at the resort?
Of course, the transport interchange of the region allows the tourist to make daily migration from city to city. However, now we will touch on the internal resources of little Arkhipka. The not overly imposing areas, however, provide the guest with many options for spending time.
Things to do in Arkhipo-Osipovka
Of course, the first thing guests of Arkhipka rush to the beach. The warm sea and the equally inviting air requires a walk along the coast, followed by immersion in the water. It is a bit crowded here during the season, so we advise you to go to the reservoir before nine in the morning. At this time, the pebble and sandy surface is not yet crowded with visitors. It is better to devote the daytime to walking. Small well-groomed streets will allow you to enjoy the local air. Slight elevation changes and some architectural solutions of city planners will frankly surprise. Not far from the coast, there is a temple and several other interesting structures styled in antiquity. Evening and night are the rulers of entertainment. Naturally, someone rushes to the sea, in the desire to swim under the cover of twilight, but the main part dreams of fun on the shore. Lots of nightclubs, a strip of modern attractions and a bustling market make the after 20:00 an extremely busy period. The city will fall asleep only in the morning!

Story
The territory of the modern village has been densely populated at all times. At first, these were different tribes that waged wars among themselves, as a result of which there was a change of nations and peoples inhabiting the Krasnodar Territory. Arkhipo-Osipovka also underwent historical changes. Many archaeological excavations remain in the vicinity today, but the most mysterious and unsolved are stone structures - dolmens.
The last settlement on the territory of the modern resort was the Adyghe aul. A new milestone in its history begins with the construction of the Mikhailovsky fortification (1837). On its territory in 1964, the village of Vulanskaya was formed, which in 1889, already being a village, received a new name, which has survived to this day. The resort of Arkhipo-Osipovka was named in honor of the valiant soldier of the Russian army Arkhip Osip, who died defending the fortification.

The population in the village. Arkhipo-Osipovka is 7853 people (2010 census data).
The village of Arkhipo-Osipovka appeared on the site of an old Adyghe settlement - Adyg, after the Russian-Turkish war. True, the inhabitants of the settlement changed, and its name changed, along with the historical situation. After the end of the Caucasian War, here, in 1864, a village appeared with the name Vulanskaya, after the name of the river, but in 1889, with the royal permission, Vulanskaya was renamed Arkhipo-Osipovka.
The village is quite large compared to other similar ones, with a population of about 10,000 people. It is located at the mouth of the Vulan River, on both sides above the village there are mountain peaks covered with deciduous forest, from which the bay, the beach, the village and the vicinity of the Caucasus Mountains are perfectly visible. The village of Arkhipo-Osipovka has, as they say now, its own trick. If you look at the village from a bird's eye view, you can see that most of the roofs are painted blue. The combination of blue roofs against a green backdrop of forests and a blue sea in the distance, a truly enchanting view.
The Mediterranean climate, clean medicinal air, surrounded by deciduous forest, makes Arkhipo-Osipovka an ideal place for family holidays. Experts say that this place, in terms of its climatic data, is akin to the resorts of Nice. In addition, the village has a small market where locals bring fresh organic fruits, vegetables, dairy and other products. And what kind of honey and jam from green walnuts are sold here, you will not find such a thing in Nice.
The Wulan River, for many centuries, has deposited so much sand from the mountains that a gentle slope into the sea has formed in the bay. It is an ideal beach for children to swim. The length of the entire beach is about 1 km. There is an embankment built along almost the entire beach, quite long (several hundred meters) and wide. There are numerous cafes, restaurants, shops, rental points, as well as a small dolphinarium, an amusement park "Malibu". And like on a real (steep) embankment, there is a fountain here. You can make appointments at the fountain.

And how much laughter and screeching is caused by such fun as "catapult". Here, adults frolic better than children. And when adults and children get tired of entertainment, you can board a real ship, from the time of Columbus, and ride the sea under sail. During this walk you will definitely meet dolphins, there are a lot of them here, which speaks of the purity of the water in the bay. These animals are accompanied only by sailboats, but scooters are not.
On the beach there are several rental points for various beach equipment, as well as accessories for water sports.
