Gelendzhik
The laidback seaside resort of Gelendzhik has been around for
several millennia, having been founded as a Greek outpost around 64
BC. The town is set along a curving bay with calm pebble beaches
ideal for swimming and watersports, and land-based activities like
horseback riding, quad biking, hiking and others are available.
Gelendzhik is best known for its spa and waterparks, and there
is a cable car line specially-built for tourists to take in the
scenic views from the top of the mountain. A new airport opened in
2010, making it easy to get to Gelendzhik from Moscow and St
Petersburg.
Information & Facts
Language
Russian is the official language. Some people speak

The official currency is the Rouble (RUB), which is divided into
100 kopeks. Most major credit cards, like Visa and Mastercard are
accepted in the larger hotels and at places that deal with foreign
tourists. Currency can be changed at banks, currency exchange
booths and hotels. Travellers cheques are difficult and expensive
to cash, but if necessary it is advised to take them in US Dollars
or Euro. ATMs are widely available in major cities. It is hard to
get rubles outside Russia and travellers are advised to take good
condition US dollars or Euro notes to change once there. It is
illegal to pay for goods or services in hard currency, though it is
often accepted.
