Anapa - Russia resort town

Despite the fact that Sochi is the most famous resort in Russia, Anapa has always been very popular among tourists. Unlike most other Black Sea resorts, there are many small, sandy beaches in Anapa (and close to the city). These beaches are especially suitable for families with children.

Anapa is one of the most popular resort cities in Russia. The city of Anapa is located on the Black Sea coast in the Krasnodar Territory, at a distance of about 240 kilometers north-west of Sochi (straight-line distance).

Anapa is located in the western part of the Black Sea coast of Russia. The distance from Anapa (by road) to Moscow is about 1.5 thousand kilometers, from Krasnodar - 160 km, from Sochi - 330 km. The distance to the Crimean Bridge (when traveling by car) is about 95 kilometers.

According to statistics in Anapa in 2018, there were approximately 75.8 thousand people, but the number of people in the city and the nearest settlements increased significantly during the summer holidays.
