It's worth stopping and taking a break after a long journey. Before us there is the Sea of Azov!

It's lunchtime. The local national cuisine is very tasty at Villa Vita. Elegant serving, decoration, original earthenware, beautiful interior.

It's also worth a walk on the Temryuk Bay. The main branch of the river Kuban flows into the gulf, near a mouth - shallow estuaries Kurchansky and Akhtanizovsky.

Historical place, important to visit. Fanagoria Fortress is a monument of military history. It was erected by order of Suvorov to oppose the Turks, the construction was completed in 1794. Generalissimo himself visited Taman four times.
To date, only the ramparts overgrown with grass have survived: the fortress was destroyed during the Crimean campaign and was no longer restored. Satellite images show the original shape of the fortification - in the form of a star. A memorial was erected on the site of the fortress: there are busts of Suvorov and Ushakov. Opposite the fortress there is a tasting room "Chateau Taman" and a grape processing plant, as well as Ushakov Chapel - the admiral was declared a saint.

The Church of the Protection of the Holy Mary in Taman was founded in 1793 by the first Cossacks who came to Taman. The shape of the church identifies a ship sailing to the Kingdom of Heaven. The temple is surrounded on three sides by columns and topped by a tower in the form of a lantern. Services in the Holy Protection Church were also held during the Soviet era.
The temple was visited at different times: A.V. Suvorov, A.S. Pushkin, M.Yu. Lermontov, St. Ignatius of the Holy Protection of the Mother of God Church received special attention. In autumn 2011, a bell weighing 350 kg was erected on the bell tower of the temple; this event took place thanks to the help of the Kuban Cossack troops.

The only condensation water source in Russia that was laid down over 400 years ago during the Ottoman domination of the Taman Peninsula. It is a small stone structure with a niche in the floor for a set of water - delicious and good for thirst quenching. The unique design of the spring allows the water to appear among the hot sands even in the hottest summer.
Only at the end of XX century the principle of the fountain was studied by hydrologists. Pottery pipes were laid deep in the sand from the water source. In addition, ceramic pipes have the ability to condense rainwater from the sand. Therefore, it is better to visit the spring after a heavy rainfall.

Dinner is served in the restaurant of ethnic Greek cuisine "Phanagoria", located near the historical center "Hermonassa-Taman".
Great place, wide choice of salads, gyros, pizza and hot dishes. Magnificent strudel, very delicious pasta. It's nice to sit on the veranda, there are seats even at peak, seemingly lunch and evening hours.

Great quiet place, close to the sea. Breakfast included.
