How to get to the Azov coast from different regions of the country by train and plane, where to relax on the Azov Sea, resorts, Yeisk, Temryuk – June 7, 2024. Posting in CHAT: Russia Sunset in the village of Golubitskaya Source: Valeria Dulskaya / 93.RU The coast of the Azov Sea is less popular than the Black Sea. This is because the sea there is shallow and dirty. But it heats up faster; This is an ideal place for families with children - from the shore you can watch children rowing in the shallow water. We'll tell you how to get there if you want to come from another region. Previously, we told you how to get to resorts in the Krasnodar Territory with closed airports. And here you can read about how to get to Anapa and Gelendzhik and what to do there on vacation. This city is very popular among tourists. There is a fairly convenient embankment here, with many beach areas, both equipped and wild. Most often, tourists stay with private owners, although there are also hotels in Yeisk quite far from Krasnodar (252 kilometers) - getting to it is closer from Rostov-on-Don (181 kilometers). At the same time, this is a big plus for those who travel by car: in the Krasnodar Territory you don’t have to sit in traffic jams, so you can save 5 or more hours on the road. The city has well-maintained beaches. Source: Valeria Dulskaya/93.RU There are direct trains to Yeysk from St. Petersburg and Moscow. If you leave the capital, you will spend a little more than a day on the road. Tickets for reserved seats cost from 5,000 rubles, but they sell out quickly. Oddly enough, the coupe does not cost much more: from 6,000 rubles. Another option: take the train to the village of Starominskaya - it’s only 70 kilometers from Yeisk. Many trains go there from all over Russia: from Nizhny Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, Cherepovets, Kostroma, Syktyvkar, Yekaterinburg, Perm and others. By plane to the south you can now only fly to Mineralnye Vody or Sochi. There are no direct trains to Yeysk from there. If you decide to travel by train, you will have to change in Krasnodar or Rostov-on-Don. There is a lot of greenery in Yeisk. Source: Valeria Dulskaya / 93.RU The bus leaves from Mineralnye Vody to Yeisk. one more day for 1845 rubles. You will have to spend almost 11 hours on the road. From Sochi you can get to Krasnodar or Rostov-on-Don, and from there to Yeisk. There are no direct routes to the Primorsko-Akhtarsk resort. This is a small and cozy resort with a population of only 30,000 people. It is called the mecca of hunters and fishermen, but getting there is very difficult. The beach in Primorsko-Akhtarsk looks very modern Source: Maxim Bondarenko/T.me Recently, the authorities decided to resume railway communication with Primorsko-Akhtarsk, but... haven't done it yet. So it is impossible to get into the city by train. You can leave by bus from Krasnodar - it’s a 3.5 hour journey and about 1000 rubles per ticket. It takes a little longer to get to the city of Rostov-on-Don, 4 hours, and a ticket costs up to 1,500 rubles. You can take the train option through the village of Starominskaya. From there it is 130 kilometers to Primorsko-Akhtarsk, or 1.5 hours. It's faster than driving through Krasnodar or other cities. The city itself has a convenient promenade and beach. It will be cheaper to vacation there than at other resorts, including due to less popularity among tourists and inaccessibility. Primorsko-Akhtarsk is famous for its healing mud in the estuaries and good fishing. Right on the embankment there is a monument to the sailors of the Azov flotilla, or simply an armored boat. In the village of Sadki, 25 kilometers from the resort, you can visit the Indian lotus plantation - it is the most beautiful there in August. There is a sea swing on the beach Source: Maxim Bondarenko/T.me Temryuk The easiest way to get to Temryuk is. road There is not much to do in the city itself, so it is better to go to smaller settlements. For example, to the villages of Golubitskaya, Peresyp or Kuchugury. The most convenient way is to take a train to Anapa, from there it is only 55 kilometers to Temryuk, and a little more to the neighboring villages. There are many buses going there, and a taxi is not that expensive - at the time of writing, a popular service was asking only 1,300 rubles. You can also come to Krasnodar, from there it is 155 kilometers to Temryuk. But still, the option with Anapa looks more convenient. Beach in Kuchugury Source: Valeria Dulskaya / 93.RU If you want to fly south by plane and then go out to the Sea of Azov, it will be more difficult. Thus, the distance between Mineralnye Vody and Temryuk along the highway is 548 kilometers. The journey by car will take about seven hours - this is if you decide to rent a car. There are no trains to the city, but for 3176 rubles you can get to Temryuk directly from the airport by bus. Also, the trip from Sochi is long - 380 kilometers and about 7 hours on the road without traffic jams (this is a difficult road with serpentines). We do not recommend traveling by bus or car in the heat and Kuban traffic jams; you risk not being in the mood to relax. The easiest option is to travel directly from Sochi airport to Anapa by Lastochka in 7.5 hours. True, it will be very difficult to buy tickets.

The British Navy reported an attack on a ship off the coast of Yemen – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia The UK Maritime Trade Operations Office (UKMTO) on its official social media account X reported an attack on a British warship off the coast of the Yemeni port of Hodeidah - UKMTO received a report of the incident 98 nautical miles (about 181.5 kilometers). - With. "VM") south of Hodeidah, Yemen. Authorities are conducting an investigation, according to a post on social media. UKMTO called the incident an “attack.” British ships were advised to proceed with caution in the area and to report any suspicious situations. In May, a Panama-flagged tanker was damaged by a missile attack in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen. A fire started on board. At the end of April, Yemen's Houthis launched a missile attack on the British-owned tanker Andromeda Star in the Red Sea. The ship also flew the Panamanian flag. In response to the Houthi aggression, the UK and the US, with the support of the international coalition, began to carry out attacks on transport facilities in Yemen in January. What is known about the operation is in the material of “Evening Moscow”. Source link Source link

Cave of Secrets. The world’s deepest blue hole discovered off the coast of Mexico Posting in CHAT: Russia Oceanologists used unmanned underwater vehicles to explore a depression called Taam Dja, located in Chetumal Bay off the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. They concluded that it was the deepest blue hole ever discovered. And it hides many mysteries for scientists. Beginners should be careful. Blue holes are caves located below sea level and filled with water. In geological terms, these are karst formations formed during ice ages when ocean levels fell, exposing areas of the sea floor, and rainwater seeped through cracks in the limestone, forming underground cavities. Over time they became quite large. But then the ocean rose again, and the depressions filled with water, forming unique underwater caves. Looking at them from above, the contrast between the dark blue water in the depths of the funnel and the light shades of the surrounding shallow water is clearly visible, which is why such formations began to be called blue holes. These mysterious sinkholes, cutting into the seabed, according to scientists, hide many mysteries. The fact is that they are difficult to study - some of the cavities of these caves at great depths can be difficult to penetrate. In this case, the dimensions of the entrance can be so small that it will be impossible to squeeze equipment into it. But this is the most interesting thing - to find out what forms of life live in hard-to-reach places in the ocean. In general, blue hole ecosystems are characterized by biological diversity. These communities include corals, sponges, mollusks, sea turtles and even sharks. In the upper layers, where there is a lot of sunlight, algae and fish live. In the depths where light does not penetrate, you can find blind shrimp and unique species of bacteria. In addition, the chemical composition of the water in these funnels is unique. Blue holes look very beautiful from above and therefore attract diving enthusiasts, but beginners should be extremely careful when diving. Navigation in underwater caves is difficult, the density of the water there changes dramatically, and there are cavities filled with hydrogen sulfide. In addition, some blue holes have strong undercurrents. All this poses a danger to inexperienced divers. Caught by the Dragon Hole Palm In 2021, another blue hole was discovered in Chetumal Bay off the coast of Mexico. The first surveys carried out using echo sounders showed that its depth reaches 274 meters, which made it the second deepest blue hole on the planet at that time. The Dragon Hole in the South China Sea claimed first place - its depth is estimated at 301 meters. The Yucatan Blue Hole is named Taam Ja, which means “deep water” in the Mayan language. Last December, oceanologists from Mexico decided to conduct a detailed examination of it, including using a set of probes mounted on one frame. They were lowered into an underwater cave and received data via cable about the depth, temperature of the water and its various characteristics. It turned out that Taam Dzha has a depth of more than 420 meters. Scientists were unable to determine this indicator more accurately, since the device they used had instrumental limitations. In other words, he couldn't go deeper. Thus, the depth of this sea hole has not been definitively established, but it is already clear that it exceeds the depth of the Dragon Hole by at least 119 meters and takes the top spot. Now Taam Dja is the deepest blue hole in the world. Perhaps it has something to do with the ocean. The surprises for Mexican oceanographers did not end there. They noticed that the top layer of water in the blue hole (down to a depth of 5 meters) is actually the water of Chetumal Bay: it is influenced by the rivers flowing into it, so its temperature and salinity can. change Below 5 meters these parameters are more stable: they change slightly, forming clear boundaries between layers. But at a depth of more than 400 meters, the temperature and salinity of the water suddenly increase sharply. They are approaching the values characteristic of the Caribbean Sea, where, in fact, this blue hole is located. This discovery led scientists to believe that Taam Dja may be connected to the ocean through a network of deep tunnels and passages. They now want to carry out further research to explain the maximum depth of this sinkhole and, if possible, find a system of caves and tunnels. In addition, researchers will study the microbial communities and other organisms living in the world's deepest blue hole. Source link Source link
