Despite the official status, to call Olginka a "village" simply does not turn the tongue. This is quite a developed resort village with good tourist infrastructure, entertainment, and even multi-storey houses. It looks well-groomed and neat, especially compared to some other resorts in the Tuapse region.

These places are ecologically clean, and the coastal waters are considered one of the cleanest on the entire Black Sea coast of the Krasnodar Territory. The length of the coastline is about one kilometer, located in the Olginskaya Bay, framed on both sides by capes Agria and Gryaznova.

Access to the beaches in Olginka is free, although in some places it is difficult due to buildings and barriers. But if you want, you can get to any place on the beach for free, bypassing fences and obstacles along the beach. The beach here is only pebbly, there is no sand. Pebbles are small and large, so for comfortable bathing it is better to wear "aquashuzes" (sold here in the markets for 250 USD), and sunbathe on rented sun loungers (200 rubles/day) or use a dense litter, for example, a yoga mat or a tourist mat is suitable. The depth is great, already three meters to children's shoulders, so inflatable circles or floats on the hands for small children are mandatory.

There are changing cabins on the shore, paid showers and toilets are located on the embankment. There are classic beach water activities such as banana riding, parachute, jet ski rental, massage is offered. By the way, there are quite a lot of places on the beach here, and you don't need to push your elbows and take a place early in the morning, as in Novomikhailovsky, for example.

The embankment stretches along the beach for only two hundred meters. Excursions are sold here, cafes and canteens, trays with tourist goods, fast food . In the evening, this is the most hangout place in the resort, where you should go for a walk.

You can eat in cafes and canteens, do not buy food in markets and supermarkets, and cook yourself, because most accommodation facilities offer an individual or shared kitchen.

You can get here by plane through Krasnodar airport (140 kilometers, Airport on the map) or Sochi (170 kilometers). It is better not to fly to Sochi airport (Adler), because it will take much longer and more expensive to get from it due to the complex serpentine road along the coast, which is also often in traffic jams.

To the International Airport of Krasnodar Pashkovsky (now the airport named after Catherine II), in the summer season there are many direct and connecting flights from the regions of the Russian Federation. Often, flights with a transfer in Moscow are cheaper than direct ones, so do not immediately abandon such options.

By train to Olginka will have to get through the railway stations in Krasnodar, Goryachy Klyuch or Tuapse with a transfer to taxis or buses. The answer to the question of which of these stations is better to go to is not unambiguous and depends on your region and the date of the trip. So, to Krasnodar there are the most trains, and in most cases they are cheaper than to Tuapse or Goryachy Klyuch, but to go from here to the resort is longer and more expensive. Goryachy Klyuch is closer, but only some trains stop here. To Tuapse from Moscow and the regions there are all the same trains that go through Krasnodar and Goryachy Klyuch, and on some trains a ticket to Tuapse is even cheaper than to Krasnodar, although go further. Our choice is to go to Tuapse, but still, before buying tickets, it is better to check the prices and conditions of travel to all three stations, and, of course, take into account the cost and time to travel from the stations to the place of rest.
