Gelendzhik

Black Sea resort town on the Krasnodar coast of southern Russia, Gelendzhik sits on its own bay with a walkable waterfront, a solid food-and-drink scene, and scenic viewpoints in the mountains rising close behind. Designated a federal resort in 2001, it draws visitors along a coastline that stretches well beyond the town centre itself.
