Anapa bursts with tourists: “They live and wash in the pantry of the restaurant”

“Monstrous Music Screams Everywhere”

Overcrowded with tourists, Anapa has already become the talk of the town: Russians have very few options for a seaside vacation this summer, and this city is one of the few places where you can sunbathe and swim safely and on a relatively budget. However, as the number of tourists increases, so does the number of dissatisfied.

Vacationers complain not only about the overcrowding of the beaches, up to the inability to find a free place, but also that due to the high demand for the resort, even the most minimal service is now practically absent.

– I understand the hosts: why try if the guests still go in crowds? – says a resident of Yaroslavl Elena. – We are relaxing in Vityazevo: in cafes and restaurants, food is completely inedible, shish kebab, which can only be chewed and spit out – it is not possible to chew it to the point that it can be swallowed. What meat it is made of, how long and where it was stored – one can only guess … Sun loungers are very expensive, 400 rubles a day, and it does not matter if you spend only 2-3 hours on the beach. My husband and child and I wanted to pay for one sun lounger just to put things on it, well, sit down if necessary, but we were told that for three we can only take three, no less. Toilet and shower on the beach are paid, while very dirty.

It seems that the locals want to earn money for the rest of their lives this summer. On the beach, loudspeakers yell continuously, calling for all sorts of skating on the sea. Even just talking is impossible – all the time this cry. And in one of the cafes, we saw that its employees live, sleep, wash in the same pantry where food is stored. You can imagine how unsanitary it is! Apparently, they all rent out their housing to vacationers.

And one more thing: in Vityazevo you need cash, it’s far from always possible to pay with a card, because the Internet is very bad everywhere.

And Evgenia, who has just returned from Sukko, recalls with horror the local outlet to the sea, which passes through a busy market:

– The pedestrian zone and the traffic of merchants are not separated, drivers do not pay attention to pedestrians at all, you have to dodge cars all the time. In addition, the sea is covered in algae, and after the rain, there are puddles everywhere, storm drains, apparently, there are none at all. Fruits and vegetables are sold of disgusting quality, often rotten. Well, crowding and crushing not only on the beach, but generally everywhere.

Maria from Moscow came to Anapa (Vityazevo) for the first time – for the sake of her 4-year-old daughter.

– For children, it could be good here: sand, shallow, long coastline. But because of the innumerable crowds, it is impossible to find a quiet place, on the beach there are solid drinking and swearing companies, even if they are relaxing with children, garbage and bulls are everywhere. In hotels, music is hammering everywhere, even in ours, which seems to be quite good – a child is not allowed to sleep during the day, and adults cannot rest. It was just as fun on the boat trip: the whole trip was screaming creepy pop music at full volume, and the first thing people got was alcohol and soon almost everyone was drunk.
