Anapa - Russia's Wine Capital
Anapa is the northernmost Russian resort area on the coast of the Black Sea.  The rocky shore, practically vertical in the south part of the Krasnodar region, finally becomes a white sandy beach at the Anapa cape spreading in a curve for 25 miles.

Anapa is accessible by air, railway, and highway to all of Russia and many countries of Europe and Asia.  Novorossisk, Russia's principal warm water seaport, is 50 km south of Anapa.  From Anapa, the Black Sea connects Anapa with Ukraine, Georgia, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, and the entire Mediterranean. 

As one of Russia's favorite tourist cities,  Anapa has comfortable hotels and recreation and transportation facilities. Anapa is also home to Anapa Kinoshok, a international film festival held every year in September.
