No matter what happens in the world, everyone wants to take a vacation and, of course, spend it at sea. More and more people are turning their attention to the resorts of the Krasnodar region. Cities and resort villages on the shores of the Black and Azov Seas are an excellent option for a trip to the waters. We have collected 7 of the most worthy resorts in the Krasnodar region.
