When to go on vacation in Kuchugury
In winter, the resort is dead: around the steppe, and cold winds blow. The first tourists come to rest in Kuchugury at the end of April, when it is already up to + 20 ° С. We came once in May: the sun was hot, but a cold wind was blowing, and the water was cool. The swimming season starts at the beginning of summer, when the sea water warms up to +20 ... + 21 ° С.
According to reviews, June in Kuchugury is the best time to relax on the Sea of Azov. Daytime air temperature up to + 26 ° С. From July to mid-August there is a hellish heat of + 30 ° С - it was during this period that we usually rested in Kuchugury. But the sea is warmest, + 25 ° С, and we did not leave the water for hours. I like the second half of August better: the winds start to blow, it's not so hot, and after sunset it's even a little chilly on the shore.
Don't worry about rains and storms, there is almost no rain. One day in August, we caught a two-day storm - it was harsh, but beautiful! You cannot swim in a storm, because the waves are gigantic.
The velvet season is September and early October. According to vacationers, the weather in Kuchugury at this time is ideal: in early autumn, the air temperature is + 24 ° С, and the sea water temperature is + 22 ° С.
Advice... June and September are well suited for families with children in Kuchugury. The weather is warm and there is no heat. Excellent conditions for swimming and sunbathing!
How to get there
Kuchugurs are located in the northwest of the Taman Peninsula. The nearest airport is in Anapa (70 km). In Anapa, take a bus to Temryuk, and then change to bus # 107 or route taxi # 107A to Kuchugur.
According to reviews, many come to rest in Kuchugury by rail. In this case, tourists take a ticket to Anapa, Krymsk, Slavyansk-on-Kuban (Protoka station), Tunnelnaya or Varenikovskaya stations, and from there they go to the village by taxi.
Another budget option is to get to Krasnodar by plane or train and buy a bus ticket to the port "Kavkaz". Get off at the Fontalovskaya stop, 5 km from Kuchugur, and come to the resort by taxi.
We always came to Kuchugury in our own car. It takes us 3 days to get from Perm. From Moscow - 17-20 hours (1490 km). We are going through Temryuk and Golubitskaya.
Housing prices in Kuchugury
According to reviews, most tourists like the rest in Kuchugury, it is quite comfortable. In a small village there are no luxury hotels - only guest houses, mini-hotels, recreation centers and the private sector, where you can live for 800-3000 rubles per day for two. Prices depend on comfort, services and distance to the sea. There is one hotel 3 * - "Golden Pheasant", where rooms cost from 3300 rubles.
Finding hotels on the spot is difficult - book accommodation on Hotelluk in advance. This will be safer and more profitable, because he is looking for discounts on different sites. Find out how to book a hotel cheaper.
We usually lived in inexpensive guest houses or rented rooms in a private house - it cost 800-1500 rubles. One of them is called "Turtle". It is profitable for a group of friends or family to rent a cottage in the private sector - for example, a house for 6 people costs 6000 rubles. For recreation in Kuchugury with children, choose guest houses with a kitchen. It is a convenient and economical vacation solution. If you don’t want to cook it yourself, agree with the hosts.
We advise you to rent an apartment, room or house directly from the owners on Sutochno.ru - this is a convenient and reliable service with real photos and reviews of tourists. Do not expect to easily rent good housing upon arrival - usually they offer rooms and houses at inflated prices, far from the sea and with a minimum of amenities.

Food prices
According to reviews for 2020, tourists have no problems with food on vacation in Kuchugury. Most holiday-makers eat in cafes, but some cook partly on their own. For example, we always had breakfast at home. Groceries were bought in stores, and fresh vegetables and fruits were bought at the market. There are no chain supermarkets like "Magnet" yet.
Almost all catering is concentrated in the center, not far from the sea - on Lenin, Gagarin, Kommunisticheskaya and Krasnaya streets. The average bill in a cafe is 500 rubles per person, and in a restaurant - 900-1000 rubles.
According to vacationers, in Kuchugury it is cheapest to eat in the canteens "Lyubimaya", "Natasha", "Malva", "Family", "Golden Pheasant", "Nicole" diner, "On the Shore" cafe, "Fig" and bistro "Terrace". There a hearty lunch is offered for 250-300 rubles. The portions are large and the food quality is good.
We liked most of all in the tavern "Tavel" in the center: a cozy place with a nice interior, affordable prices, polite staff and curious dishes. Tavern address: st. Red, 32, next to "Lazurit".
Beaches in Kuchugury
The beaches in Kuchugary are good: golden crumbly sand interspersed with beautiful shells. They stretch for many kilometers - it's nice to walk along the sea. The sea is shallow everywhere, it warms up well, so parents with children like to relax here. The entrance to the water is shallow everywhere and without stones. In some places it is necessary to overcome a strip of shell rock, but this is not a problem.
The most popular and equipped for recreation is the wide Central Beach. There are sun loungers, toilets and showers. On the shore there are cafes, sheds for massage, water attractions and a children's labyrinth. It is cleaned of debris. In my opinion, it is noisy there.
Another well-equipped beach is located a little to the west, in the area of Gagarina Street. There are cafes and parking spaces on this beach.
We usually came to a distant section of the beach, in the area of Krasnoflotskaya Street, where there are almost no people. It was quiet and peaceful there. Sometimes merchants brought in food: corn, sweets, pasties. If you want absolutely silence, go further, towards Cape Pyokly and Kamenny - there are wild sandy beaches.
What I don't like about the Sea of Azov is that sometimes the sea looks dirty because of the waves, because sand rises from the bottom. That is, you will not see the beautiful blue water, as in the Black Sea.
But on the Sea of Azov in August-September, with the onset of darkness, you can swim among glowing plankton! It is beautiful and unusual, try it.

Entertainment
Rest on the sea in Kuchurugi is easy to diversify! According to reviews for 2020, tourists love to fly with a parachute behind a boat, ride "bananas" and jet skis. An exhibition of wax figures, a small planetarium, a billiard room and a hookah bar are open in the village. Fans of outdoor activities ride on a high-speed go-kart track and travel on ATVs.
Not far from Kuchugur, on Cape Pyokly, there is a mud volcano Plevak - we went there to take mud baths. Fun entertainment especially for children. Don't be afraid and get inside - it's a curious feeling. The mud is dense, so it's not scary. The volcano sometimes releases bubbles. Then you need to go down to the sea to wash off the dirt. Be careful here: the bottom is strewn with sharp slippery stones in seaweed, and I cut my legs. Enter the water in aquashusas.
We also went to the village of Priazovsky and swam in the mineral lake - it was clean and beautiful, and the water so pleasantly cooled and made the skin soft. However, according to the reviews of vacationers, now everything is sad with the lake: garbage, mud, overgrown paths.
If you are on vacation with children in Kuchugury, go to the "Emelya" amusement park.Want more experiences? Go to Golubitskaya! A modern water park, a dolphinarium, a zoo and a crocodile farm are open in the Kuban village.
Excursions in Kuchugury
During a beach holiday in Kuchugury in 2021, go on excursions - according to reviews, they are interesting. We did not take excursions, but went by car on our own: to the mud volcano Plevak, to the mineral lake, to Taman, the museum in Temryuk.
Prices for day trips start at 500 rubles. The most popular tours are to the Lotus Valley, the Cossack village of Ataman, the Tizdar volcano, the monastery in the village of Priazovsky and the museum of military equipment in Temryuk.
Advice... There is a bicycle rental service in the resort village. Explore the surroundings of Kuchugur on a pleasant bike ride!
In general, the rest in Kuchugury is not bad, but I like the landscapes of the Black Sea coast more. However, most tourists are satisfied with their vacation by the Sea of Azov and would like to come back here again. According to reviews for 2020, rest in Kuchugury has a lot pluses:
