The peninsula is distinguished by diverse vegetation and beautiful landscapes. The main source of fresh water in the region is the Kuban River and its tributaries. A feature of the Taman Peninsula is a large number of estuaries and mud springs. The latter have a therapeutic effect on humans, so relaxation can be combined with recovery.
Climate
The beaches of Taman are in the zone of temperate marine climate. The weather is due to the influence of two such different seas - the Black and Azov - and the mountains' insecurity from the influence of the continent. Taman has a large number of sunny days, there are more of them than in Sochi or Anapa. The summer season begins in May and ends in October. The average summer temperature is +24 degrees.
