Reviews about the rest in Agoy (Krasnodar Territory)
Continuing the conversation about the resort village, we recall the feedback from the spa guests who were lucky enough to relax in it. According to them, Agoy is a good place where you can have a good time. Currently, the village is being actively built, probably soon new hotels and guest houses will appear on its territory. But already now there is a fairly good selection of housing. If you decide to spend your vacation in Agoy, then you should pre-select a possible accommodation option. What to choose: private sector, hotel or recreation center? The decision is up to you. As a rule, the decision is directly dependent on the cost. In Agoy, as in any resort, the price of accommodation is much higher by the sea. And the farther the establishment is from the coast, the cheaper its rooms. Near the sea in the village are mainly recreation centers and hotels. But all the shops are located just in the center of Agoy.
When analyzing the cost of living, do not pay attention to cheap offers. If the owners offer accommodation at 300 rubles per day, then for sure you will get to the beach for a very long time. Through the entire village runs the track. Along it is a narrow sidewalk, along which you will need to make an everyday promenade.
The inconvenience of living off the coast is that you will never know what the weather is like at sea. In the village it is always very hot, but on the coast at this time a strong wind can storm and blow. In this weather, you can devote your time to sightseeing or trips to nearby resorts.
The beach of Agoy is pebble, but sometimes sand is also found. The sea is very clean and beautiful. On the coast there are sun loungers and sea activities - bananas, jumpers and scooters. The beaches of Agoy are quite clean, but after storms ashore throws household garbage. True, the rangers take it all away. The beaches of the village are not as crowded as in the famous resorts, but still, during the high season, even here it is crowded, so you should not count on a secluded vacation.
In bad weather, you can go to the neighboring village of Nebug to the water park or dolphinarium. By minibus, the road takes no more than fifteen minutes.
Summing up the conversation, it is worth saying that in the village of Agoy you can have a good rest. However, when planning a vacation, you need to soberly assess the situation and understand that relaxing in such a small village has its pros and cons. So that in the future you do not experience disappointment. Agoy is a small village in which there are not many residents. Accordingly, local landscapes are more like rural ones. In the center of the village there is a pharmacy, first-aid post and a network of Magnit grocery stores, the prices of which are slightly higher, as in any resort.
The village has more reasonable prices for accommodation than in large resort cities. But the infrastructure is much weaker. There is very little entertainment in Agoy. Holidays in the village are designed for those people who want to plunge into a more relaxed atmosphere. If you want to go for a walk in the evening, for example, along the promenade or walk through the park, then you will not succeed. In the village there is simply no familiar promenade. To many, Agoya may seem like a rather boring place. The most active holidaymakers can get to Tuapse on a minibus and see the city. In general, the traffic intersection makes it possible to travel to the nearest villages in between visits to the beach.
