What the resort looks like
Arkhipo-Osipovka, or Arkhipka, is a typical resort village in the Krasnodar Territory, where all life is concentrated on the embankment. All the attributes of a southern resort are available: a wide embankment, a sea of entertainment, cafes, stalls with beer, pasties and ice cream, a water park, a dolphinarium, and so on. Almost everything is intended for children, like in Anapa, and it was boring for us in the village.
Near the Central Beach there is a huge area where almost all the attractions are concentrated. I remember that I first came to Arhipka after sunset and was amazed: everything shines with lights, music and children's laughter can be heard from everywhere. Over the years, Arkhipo-Osipovka has hardly changed - there are still a lot of family tourists and children's entertainment, except that it has become more well-groomed and clean.
The village itself is ordinary, there is no beautiful architecture and any outstanding sights. Is that the beach is picturesquely sandwiched between the two mountains Camel and Hedgehog, and the green rivers Vulan and Teshebs flow nearby.
Housing prices in Arkhipo-Osipovka
I got the impression that Arkhipo-Osipovka - one large private sector... Almost all are guest houses of different shapes and sizes, so there is enough accommodation for vacationers. There are few high-rise buildings, and apartments are rented in them. Stylish "Artemis" and "Villa Sofia" with two swimming pools stand out among the guests.
Look for housing in the private sector on Sutochno.ru - this is a convenient and reliable service with real photos and reviews of tourists. There you can rent an apartment, room or house directly from the owners. Do not expect to easily rent a house upon arrival at the train station - usually they offer apartments at inflated prices, in an inconvenient area and with a minimum of amenities. Book your accommodation 2-3 months before your trip.
Hotels few, there are several stars: "Wind rose" 3 *, "New wind rose" 3 *, "Argo" 2 *. Parents with children will especially like the hotel and entertainment center "Albatross" 3 *, where you can live all-inclusive, use the pools, attractions and water slides. Look for hotels on the Hotelluk service - it will be safer and more profitable, because he is looking for discounts on different sites. Find out how to book a hotel cheaper.
So, here are the prices for holidays in Arkhipo-Osipovka in the middle of summer 2021 (room for two / three per day):
Near Arkhipo-Osipovka, in the west, there is a large pine forest with stunningly clean air. There are many campgrounds... If you are in your own car, I advise you to spend a couple of days in the campsite, for example, we stayed at "Raccoon". The range of services is almost the same everywhere - in the protected area there are places for parking and tents, drinking water, toilets and showers. The average price is 300 rubles per day for an adult and 200 rubles for a child from 4 to 12 years old. Some people ask to pay separately for the car.
Attention! During our large-scale audit of resorts in the south of Russia, we found that local hoteliers often deceive vacationers by buying positive reviews on travel sites, including Booking. Therefore, carefully read the reviews before booking, especially negative ones - they will tell you a lot of interesting things. And also look at the owners' responses to criticism: if they are rude, make jokes and run into a tourist, then feel free to walk by. We advise you to always book your accommodation in advance, and not to search on the spot, otherwise you will get a mediocre option, and even overpay.
Albatross Hotel 3 *: "There are many children's pools with different depths. Water slides and entertainment, perky animators, a kids club. For parents with children, this is a godsend." Vitaly.
Sanatorium "Arkhipo-Osipovka" 2 *: "Advantages - comfortable rooms, chic balconies, nature, a gracious shade on the territory and on the way to the beach. Fixed place in the dining room for each vacationer." Ilya.
Best hotels in Arkhipo-Osipovka
Food prices in 2021
There are many canteens in Arkhipo-Osipovka, where prices are the same as everywhere else - 200-300 rubles per person. But the rating of the establishments is low. Most of all, tourists like the "Obzhorka" dining room, where in the summer there are even queues for lunch. It is located in Pionersky lane, 2B - you will have to walk from the sea.
In cafes, pizzerias and establishments with Asian cuisine, the price tag is higher - from 500 rubles. There are a lot of reviews and a high rating from the Tornado cafe-dining room - there are reasonable prices and quite tasty food. During the day it is a quiet dining room, and in the evening it is a loud restaurant with a disco, DJ and live music, so for an amateur. Many people like it, but some are very noisy.
Maria: "I'm tearing the place straight from my heart. I recommend it !!! The" Obzhorka "dining room - it is not on the shore, so only experienced people know it. Very tasty, varied. And so that you understand - we had dinner for three maximum 500 rubles. Full lunch - large portions. "
Beaches and sea
The beaches of the village are pebbly, only at the very edge of the water there is a little sand and shell crumbs. The entrance to the water is shallow, and the seabed is sandy - convenient for those who cannot swim or come with a child.
The central beach stretches along the promenade. It is the busiest, even in September there are a lot of people. It has everything: toilets, showers, changing rooms, sun loungers and awnings, wooden flooring, water activities.
The water is pretty clean in the morning, but the more people come to the beach, the more cloudy it gets. Unlike Kabardinka, where the water is almost always crystal clear, in Arkhipka it is often cloudy.
To the west of the Central Beach are the beaches of the sanatoriums. There are two more equipped beaches near the mouths of the Vulan and Teshebs rivers, and look for wild beaches near Camel Mountain.
Rina Ivanchenko: "There are lockers in front of the beach where you can leave your belongings. An ingenious idea, in my opinion."
How not to catch an infection at sea
Intestinal infections are a really big problem in southern resorts. Rotavirus and norovirus are more often caught by children and are seriously ill, but adults also suffer from them. Be sure to collect a first-aid kit for rest and do not forget the compulsory medical insurance policy. Young children need to be vaccinated against rotavirus.
In order not to catch an intestinal infection in the Black Sea (and indeed in any sea, even abroad), you need to follow the basic rules of hygiene:
- Do not swallow seawater.
- Wash fruits, vegetables, and hands thoroughly before eating. Wash with running water or bottled water, not in the sea!
- Drink bottled or boiled water.
- Do not buy food from street vendors.
- Do not take perishable food to the beach.
- If you cook yourself, be hygienic and boil and fry food well.
- Make sure your child does not put stones, sand, dirt, or dirty hands in his mouth.
How do tourists have fun? They walk along the embankment and the large green park, which belongs to the Arkhipo-Osipovka sanatorium, visit cafes and restaurants, have fun in the water park, go to the Museum of Bread and Wine and the Mikhailovskoye Fortification.
In the vicinity of the resort, where campsites are located, you can find dolmens - we arranged a hike to one of them. Climb to Cape Left and enjoy the view from the observation deck.
Take an excursion to Teshebsky and Plisetsky waterfalls, to the Melnichnaya Shchel, the valley of the Pshada river and to the dolmens on the Zhane river. From Arkhipo-Osipovka it is easy to go to Gelendzhik, Kabardinka, Abrau-Dyurso, Novorossiysk.
The stunningly beautiful Inal Bay is nearby. The view from the observation deck is simply gorgeous! And a little further - the secluded and little-known Blue Bay with turquoise water.
