The smallest in the world and the warmest sea in Ukraine

The Azov Sea is the Motian Lake in the ancient Greeks, Karluk - the Scythians, the dark blue sea - the Arabs, the Fisheries - the Tatar-Mongols have been known since a long time and does not lose popularity now. Every year, weekends and dozens of thousands of vacationers are held on his coast - and this is only in domestic resorts.

The Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov is the smallest sea in the pool of the World Ocean and the warmest in Ukraine.

The maximum depth of the reservoir does not exceed 13.5 meters, and the average is about 7.4 meters, so the sea warms up quickly and the water temperature near the shore is already by the middle of May Often reaches marks + 18 ° С. It is at this time at the resorts of the Azov Sea starts a full-fledged beach season, which usually lasts almost until the end of September. In the midst of summer, the surface layer of water has a temperature of + 26 ... + 28 ° C, and sometimes - and above + 30 ° C.

Natural features of Azov provided reservoir among tourists. A relatively long holiday season is about five months, traditionally warm water, gently and smooth descent to the sea - these are the main advantages of Azov recreation.

Some of them in the people in the old manner are called children's and "all-union" health resorts, and Kirillovka and the official status of the "Resort of State Value" is presented at all.

This map shows maintenance resort cities On the Azov coast of Ukraine and Russia. For the most actual resorts of Ukraine when clicking The label will link to detailed review With the description of the infrastructure of the features of recreation, photos, etc.

Azov Sea geographically and climatically

The Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov in geography is the semi-closed sea of \u200b\u200bthe Atlantic pool and the most continental on the planet - by the distance from the ocean, located within two countries - Ukraine (geographically - Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson region, the north-east coast of the Crimean Peninsula) and Russia ( Krasnodar region, Rostov region).

Compared to other seas, for example, black (with which it is connected through the Kerch Strait - approx.), Azov is a rather small reservoir: its maximum length is about 380 km, the width is about 200 km, and the total length coastline does not exceed 1500 km.

Most of the coast of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov are flat fine-shell beaches. The exception is only the coastal hills of volcanic origin, which can be seen in the southern part of the reservoir.

Climate of the Azov Sea It is very strongly subject to the influence of extensive steppe arrays surrounding it from almost all sides, both within Ukraine and in the Pre-Caucasus and the Crimea - with a small amount of precipitation characteristic of them - an average of 300-500 mm per year.

Therefore, at the resorts of the Azov Sea rain - the phenomenon is rare and short-term, like clouds - especially in the summer, which is very pleased with tourists and creates good conditions for a beach holiday.

In the summer, the local circulation of air masses is installed on the coast in the direction from the sea to the land - during the day, and from sushi to the sea - at night. These are known to all breets that soften even the extreme meal heat. That is why the usual air temperature for these latitudes + 28 ... + 30 ° C and peak - up to + 45 ° C on the shore of the Azov Sea is transferred much easier and more comfortable than in the conditions of urban streets.

Azov resorts can boast high sun activity - for example, in Kirillovka, the sunshine time is about 2320 hours per year, which exceeds this indicator for the Crimean Yalta.

The features of the coast

The coast of the Azov Sea forms very bizarre figures and has unusual boundaries. Spit, which are overwhelmed by Azov, formed many Limanov And smooth along the sea coast.

By itself, the coastline is common and smooth, however, many protruding braids give it a cut look.

In places right to the sea, the steppes are approaching, in some places the coast has a steep, the sealed slopes, in some places there are swampy gentle areas and, of course, in low-spirited places you can meet abundant thickets of the reasons.

Plots of the forest are practically not borded with the seashore, so nature here is not so picturesque as, for example, in the Crimea, and in the midst of summer and is at all takes the appearance of the steppe with the sun. Small planting of trees usually represent either artificial landings or a ridiculous shrub.

Webcams on the coast

The worship of the beach area of \u200b\u200bthe Azov Sea can be seen using webcams installed on the coast. For example, below is a webcam located on a spit in the Zaporizhia region.

Fisheries

As noted above, the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov is warm and shallow. It was these conditions that provided him in due time to quite active reproduction of flora and fauna. According to the number of plant and animal organisms, Azov was a world leader, and the sea fish productivity (the ratio of the total number of fish and the area of \u200b\u200bthe reservoir) was 40 times the corresponding figure of black and more than 6 times - the Caspian Sea.

Recently, the Azov Sea was considered an inexhaustible storehouse for fishing - industrial, amateur, sports. Bulls, Kambala, Beluga, Ostr, Ship, Severe, Taran, Herring - All this far amounted to far from the full list of gifts of sea depths.

But as a result of consumer attitude to the sea, the population of many species of fish has decreased, and some have replenished the list of disappearing. So despite the good natural conditions of Azov, today the systematic loses the fame of the "fish" sea itself.

Today, in the Kirillovka district, only the Azov bull was left in fact or in some cases of Pilengas.

Recreation effect and improvement

The Sea coast of the Sea is not only a popular place of recreation, but also effective aero-ionic health resorts, working at the expense of the combination of healing factors created by nature itself.

Air near Azova is a kind of cocktail that is saturated iodine, bromom, minerals and microelements - as a result of active evaporation of water from the surface of the sea and estuary and phytoncides, bringing winds with steppe arrays.

Provided that there are no industrial enterprises and motorways in the district with a lively movement, such a mix can provide a generally erect effect and facilitate states in acute respiratory viral infections, chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract and allergic reactions.

Azov sea water in its composition is also very unique. It contains over 90 chemical elements, which are beneficial affecting the human body. In the bottom layer there deposits of healing sulfideal mudFormed during the decay of sea flora and fauna. Thanks to the small depth of Azov, even a small excitement to the sea turns water into the mud suspension, and sea bathing - in health Procedureshown in diseases of the skin, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular and nervous systems.

By the way, useless, and often harmful to health, dirt in the sea is also there - it is enough at the coast of industrial cities and ports.

Useful dirt is not only in the sea, but also in Limanah - Salted bays that are in sufficient quantities in the basin of Azov.

Liman dirt is the basis for functioning balneological hospitalsArounded in Kirillovka, Berdyansk and other resorts in the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov - both in Ukraine and in Russia. In these institutions, resting, and more correctly to patients, can offer treatment that can establish metabolism, to correct and stabilize the state of the peripheral nervous system, facilitate the state of asthma and chronic respiratory diseases, after injury and exacerbation of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, get rid of gynecological diseases and urological problems.

Rest with children on the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov

Children's resort - so you can characterize almost every priazovsky region. On the coast of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov, the main conditions are performed to implement the right holiday with children:

Soft climate, lack of acclimatization

The weather in the Azov resorts is sunny days, sea breeze, mitigating summer heat and breeze, constantly bringing new portions of phytoncides on the coast with steppes and iodine ions, bromine from the sea.

Unlike a trip to the Mediterranean coast and the same skirt, who came to Azov actually do not pass the acclimatization period, unless, of course, this is not residents of the Far North. That is why rest at the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov in resorts remote from industry can be useful to children of almost any age, up to newborns.

Warm water, smooth descent in the sea

As already mentioned above, Azov is a small sea, so seawater has a comfortable temperature for swimming already in May, and in summer water is "like pair milk", which is very suitable for the baby sitting at sea clocks. In addition, in most azov resorts The sand coastal strip that does not injure children's legs, and the depths of the sea is gradual - somewhere more dynamic, somewhere less, but without submarine and sharp breaks.

Usual food

An important aspect for those who are lucky to rest and care that the vacation takes place without unpleasant reactions to unfamiliar, not specific to our latitudes. Plus - here you can buy seasonal vegetables and fruits grown in the Priazovsky villages, the use of which can replenish the vitamin stock of children and increase immunity.

Price Policy of Azov Resorts

It is well known that on most of the Azov resorts you can find almost any number - OT economy option Without amenities before housing premium or VIP-class, accordingly, the price of rest may differ at times.

In addition, the cost of sudrawn numbers can be enough different depending on the region. For the Azov coast, the division into resorts is inexpensive and expensive.

The main factors for such pricing are popularity, the "promotion" of recreation, the development of infrastructure, the presence of entertainment facilities and the convenience of transfer.

"Inexpensive" rest

Inexpensively relax In the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov within Ukraine, it is possible, for example, in Stepanovka of the first, Primorsk, Primorsky Posad - without special requests to the organization of leisure.

These resorts are pure beach And practically deprived of infrastructure and entertainment.

Holidays of the average price category

Most popular resort Ukrainian Azovia - Kirillovka, in which there are all the conditions so that tourists do not miss - a large water park, dolphinarium, equestrian theater, moon park, a sufficient number of nightclubs, discos, cafes.

Since the high demand for rest leads to a rise in prices, Kirillovka in this regard is the year holding leadership among the Ukrainian resorts of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov.

Malekino

The resort village is 35 kilometers from Mariupol is also dubious in terms of environmental cleaning coast, as it is located near the city and industrial giants.

The benefits of Mulekino can be found in the proximity of housing to the beaches.

Sedovo

The village is 55 kilometers from Mariupol located on the Kosya curve. Small in Square, he has about thirty pensions, recreation and hotels and has a reputation on the pure region, due to the remoteness from large cities and industrial facilities.

In most housing for recreation in Sedovo is 20-100 meters from the sea.

The main feature of the resort is quite narrow beaches.

Schelkino and Cape Kazantip

The city on the northeast coast of the Crimea, built for service and not running nuclear power plant, has the glory of a youth partition resort.

The Republic of Kazakhstan or the Republic of Z is the electronic music festival, which has recently passed on the territory of the unfinished atomic reactor - the main attraction of the region.

In addition to fans of parties in Non-Stop mode, Cape Kazantip was a tingers who took part in the annual competition for the Russian Funboard Association Federation (RFA).

Resorts on the Russian coast

And now briefly, but thoroughly tell about the resorts located on the Russian coast of the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov.

Taganrog

Resort town B. Rostov regionFounded by Peter first in 1698, included in the list historic cities Russia.

Taganrog - sea \u200b\u200bport and industrial center southern Russia with large metallurgical and engineering production.

It makes no sense to talk about any ecology of the resort.

First of all, tourists here may be interested in well-developed infrastructure, historical sights and cultural facilities.

Yeisk

The city at the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov in the Krasnodar Territory is located between the Taganrog Bay and Yeisk Liman, at the base of the Yeisk Spit.

Unlike Taganrog, there are no very large industrial facilities in the city, there are plenty of attractions and entertainment.

The highest popularity among tourists is used by the Yeisk Spit, where there are the largest beaches, sanatoriums, recreation centers, cafes and restaurants.

No less popular merchant area attracting tourists ancient architecture and the Taganrog embankment, which is considered the heart of the resort.

There is a valid port in Yeisk and railwaywhich add convenience in terms of transfer, but negatively affect the environmental state of recreation.

Primorsko-Akhtarsk

The resort is located on the Akhtar Gulf in the northwestern part Krasnodar Region.

Among the Russian recreation listed, Primorsko-Akhtarsk can be called the most environmentally friendly.

The main industrial load here the canning mini-fish, large objects of industry in the resort, and the railway station can hardly have too strong damage to the purity of air and water.

By cons recreation, a rather modest offer of housing in the resort and insufficiently developed infrastructure can be attributed.

Taman Peninsula

The Krasnodar resort region is unique not only what is washed by two seas - Azov and black, but also the presence of volcanoes, spewing dirt - active, extinct and dormant.

The largest and most famous among them can be considered Akhtanizovskaya and Karabetov Sopov, Volcano Hephaest.

The pearl of Tamani is the local "Switzerland", a protected area with wild vegetation, which is very suitable for lovers of a secluded relaxing on the lap of nature.

The Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov on the map is a semi-folded water area of \u200b\u200bthe Atlantic Ocean. There is an object in the eastern part of Europe. Two countries have on their territory Azov Sea - Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

general information

The Azov Sea is considered the most small in the world. His maximum depth - No more than thirteen and a half meters, and the average (according to various estimates) is within 6.8-8 m. In the area where the Azov Sea is located, other objects connecting the water area with the Atlantic Ocean are located. Among them should be noted the straits of Kerch and Gibraltar, Bosphorus and Dardanelles. In addition, the links are Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Sea.

History

Previously, in antiquity, where the Azov Sea is now, there was no water. Filling the water area allegedly began in 5600 BC. e. At that time, fell into the Black Sea directly in the field of the current Kerch Strait. In that area where the Azov Sea is located, there are different settlements. The names of many of them went on behalf of the reservoir. For example, Stanitsa Priazovskaya and Azov, the city of Azov, which is located in the lower reaches of the river. Don, Novoazovsk and others.

Name

In ancient times, the water area was called different people in their own way. It should be said that the sea was renamed quite many times. Until today, the exact origin of the name has not been established. There are several hypotheses on the etymology of the original word "Azov":

• named Prince Azuma killed in 1067;
• by the name of the "Assa" tribe, which, in turn, occurred presumably from Avestian and means "fast";
• according to Circassian "Uzev", which means "neck";
• according to the Turkic Word "Azan" - "Lower".

Back in the distance I. n. e. In his writings, lifting the Scythian tribes, says about the settlement "Askoki". The name is similar to the word "Azov". It's believed that modern name The water area began to be used in Russian toponymy since the beginning of the 17th century, thanks to the Chronicler Pimen. At the same time I must say that the original name received not all of the Azov Sea (on the map of Russia near the one of the name of the name, the part of Taganrog is located today). And only by the 2nd half of the 18th century, the name was fixed behind the whole water area.

Research

The history of studying the area where the Azov Sea is, it is conventionally divided into several stages.

1. Geographical (ancient), which continued since Herodotus before the early 19th century.
2. Geological and geographical. He lasted from the 19th century until the 40s of the 20th century.
3. Complex. This period began from the mid-20th century and continues to today.

Claudide Ptolem was composed of the first map of Ukraine as such as then did not exist, and the position of the reservoir itself relative to other objects was not quite understandable. Ptolemy installed the first geographical coordinates For cities, bays and capes. Subsequently, Gleb Svyatoslavovich, Rule in 1068 in Datmutarakani, I measured the distance from Kerch to Taman. It was approximately 20 kilometers at a time. Already from the 12-14th centuries, Venetians and the Genoese began to make maps and the location of the Azov and Black Seas.

Geographical position

The area where the Azov Sea is, runs between 45 ° 12'30 "and 47 ° 17'30" s. sh. and 33 ° 38 'and 39 ° 18' in. d. The maximum reservoir length reaches 380 kilometers, and the width is 200 kilometers. The coastline has a length of 2686 km, the surface of the water area covers an area of \u200b\u200b37,800 square meters. km (the braids and islands are not included in this figure, which are distributed in the territory of 107.9 square meters. km). In accordance with the morphological signs, the object refer to the category of flat seas. The reservoir is considered shallow water, having low shores of the coast. The Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov (on the map of Russia it is clearly seen) is quite removed from the ocean. In this regard, the object refers to a group of continental reservoirs. In winter, the Azov Sea can completely or partially freeze. The ice is made in the Kerch Strait. Usually the formation of ice begins in January. In the cold years it can happen for a month earlier.

Bathymetry

The place where the Azov Sea is located, is distinguished by a relatively simple underwater terrain. In the course of removal from the coast there is a smooth and slow downstream of depths. In the central part of the water area, they reach 13 meters. Here are the depths of maximal. The location isobat, close to symmetrical, violates the small stretch of them towards the northeast to the Taganrog bay. Approximately two kilometers from the shore is a 5 meters from the shore. It is removed from and around the mouth of the Don River. In this section, the depths increase towards the open part of the reservoir. At the border of the sea and the bay, they reach eight-nine meters. The bottom relief is distinguished by the presence of systems of underwater elevations. They are elongated along the Western (Arabat and Maritime Banks) and Eastern (Izinsk Bank) coarse. Depths are reduced from 8-9 to three to five meters. For the coastal underwater slope on the north coast is characterized by a fairly wide shallow water. Here, the depth of 6-7 m. The southern coast is characterized by a steep underwater slope. Depths in this area - 11-13 meters. Sea shores, as a rule, sandy and flat. In the southern plot, however, you can find hills having volcanic origins, and in places passing into advanced steep mountains.

The area of \u200b\u200bthe catchment in the pool is about 586,000 square meters. km. The flows depend on the minimal strong winds of the northeast and south-western directions. The main movement occurs along the shores. Its directions back clockwise.

Temperature mode

For shallow reservoirs, a large seasonal temperature variability is characterized. In winter, the indicators reach a minimum. In January-February, the values \u200b\u200bare close to the freezing temperature. In the southern part of the reservoir, not far from the Kerch Strait, the thermometer pillar rises above zero. Temperature amplitude per year - + 27.5 ... + 28.5 degrees. In the summer, along the entire surface of the sea, quite homogeneous indicators are noted - from +24 to +26 degrees. In July, in some areas (for example, such as the sea warms up to the maximum +28 ... +28.5 degrees. The very high temperature was recorded in Primorsko-Akhtarsk. It was +32.5 degrees. As for many years of average annual temperature, on the surface it is within 11 ° C. Inter-annual oscillations are about one degree.

Salinity

The Azov Sea has hydrochemical features. They are formed mainly under the influence of abundant river's tributary (about 12% of the total water volume). In addition, there are several hindered water exchanges with the Black Sea. Until the register of Don, the salinity of the reservoir under consideration was lower than the ocean. three times. Indicators changed from 1 ppm at the mouth of the river to 10.5 in the central part and to 11.5 in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Kerch Strait. It began to rise after the construction of the Tsimlyan hydraulic dispenser. By 1977, the average rates increased to 13.8 ppm, the numbers were slightly lower - 11.2. During relatively high moisturies, a rapid decrease in salinity was observed. It was 10.9 in that period. However, by 2000, the indicators rose again, stabilized at 11. It should be said that in the northern part of the reservoir there is little salt, in contrast to the site, to which the Crimea is adjacent. The Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov (a map showing the location of the object is presented below) in the area of \u200b\u200brichly self-sample salt. She was mined from ancient time. Until the end of the 19th century, salt from this site ensured Russia's needs almost half. The greatest value of the salinity of water reaches in solution - rape of Sivas and other lakes. This is due to intense evaporation from the water surface in the summer. All these hyperweed areas are large renewable mineral salts, which are known to the Azov Sea. Russia, having these objects, provides itself with a significant amount of this mineral. Because of communication with the sea, their rappi composition is similar to the structure of sea water. Mostly in the rape there are sulfates and chlorides of magnesium and sodium.

Water

The Azov Sea is characterized by low transparency. Every time of year and in various districts it is different. Indicators vary in the range from 0.5 to 8 meters. Low transparency is mainly due to the intake of a large number of river waters, a fairly fast clutching of bottomals during the excitement of water, as well as the presence of plankton mass in the reservoir. The lowest indicators are noted in the Taganrog Bay. There transparency is within 0.5-0.9, in rare cases - 2 meters. Water in this area can change its color from greenish yellow to brownish yellow. In the central part of the reservoir because of the large depths and under the influence of the Black Sea currents, transparency can be from one and a half and two and a half to eight meters. Here water has a greenish blue color. Almost everywhere in the summer there is an increase in transparency. And in some areas due to the sufficiently rapid development of the smallest animals and vegetable organisms in the upper layers, the indicators fall to zero. And the water becomes bright green. This phenomenon is called "Flowering Sea".

Thanks to a small depth and relatively small size, the Sea Sea is greatly heated by the first spring rays of the Sun and already in April is available for swimming. This significantly increases the holiday season, and in May, there are already quite a lot of those who want to get a golden southern tan. Planning the upcoming rest, you need to imagine that it expects on one or another resort. As the map of the Azov Sea coastline in Russia shows, the length of the domestic coastline stretches 250 kilometers. The waves of the reservoir wash the western borders of the Krasnodar Territory, the east coast of the Crimea and through the Kerch Strait connect with a deeper black sea.

Climatic conditions of the Azov

Unlike the Black Sea, there is no magnificent vegetation on the coast of the Sea, and the air is dry and hot. A practically constantly constantly blowing wind carries a sultry spicy smell of steppe herbs, bizarrely intertwined with the fresh aroma of the marine breeze. Such climate is very favorable for cores and respiratory diseases suffering. It cannot be said that during the summer there is no rain, but they are so tangible and in a summer heat, which is not able to spoil the vacation mood. The sea temperature is 20 degrees in the late spring, and in July-August this indicator may increase to 32 degrees.
