Excursions and attractions nearby
Coming to rest in Divnomorskoye, you find yourself in an interesting place, rich in historical and natural attractions, which can be visited in one or two days:
- Dolmens – ancient mysterious places, stone sacred buildings, found by scientists quite recently. Some of them are open in the valley of the river Janet, stand alone in groups, on the walls of some ancient drawings and inscriptions are distinguishable. The way to the dolmens lies through a beautiful relic forest, which in itself is valuable. Visiting these ancient buildings – places of power – is possible as part of a horse ride or jeeping;
- Jeeping is a type of active recreation, full of adrenaline and positive emotions. Professional instructors and drivers a few years ago developed and paved routes through forests, rocks and mountain rivers. It is possible to depart for a less extreme trip by jeep – to tourist attractions;
- Parus Rock: a unique natural monument rises above the water for 25 meters in the sea between Divnomorsk and Gelendzhik. This is not the creation of human hands, but part of the rock, which once broke away from the coastal part. So amazing how it stands in the sea, because its thickness is only 1 meter. Such amazing natural creations always cause delight and superstitious hope for a miracle among tourists. Come and see for yourself.
Vasily and Elena, Moscow: We have not rested on the Black Sea for a long time, we chose the Gelendzhik district, the Blue Dal Hotel. The location is beautiful, the view from the room pleased every morning – the sea and the mountains. Clean air, even on the territory, you do not need to go far. A small but very well-groomed beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are always there, free of charge. The food is excellent, varied and fresh. Can be ordered in the room. Not all the sights were visited this time, enjoyed the sea. We’ll definitely be back.
