A bit of history

The village of Zatoka is now one of the most popular resorts in the Odessa region. It is located on the Carolino-Bugazsky Spit. The settlement was founded in 1827 when the lighthouse was built.

The inflow is located on two parts of the spit, which since 1955 connects the road and rail bridge. It is conducted through the Dniester estuary.

The beach length of 22 km provides tourists with a wonderful holiday in Zatoka. Comments of Belarusians, Russians, Ukrainians make it clear that this is a spacious coast. The beaches have a width of 300 to 900 m. They are washed on the one hand by the Black Sea (here most of the recreation centers are located), and on the other - the Dniester estuary (the water is fresh in it).

Not far from Zatoka is the city of Belgorod-Dnestrovsky (20 km). Before Odessa it is required to pass 65 km.

How to get there?

To get to the resort, you should choose one of the possible routes. Different types of messages have Zatoka (photos, reviews of tourists are presented below). Before Odessa, you can drive by car along a narrow road along the sea. It passes by the city of Chernomorsk (formerly Ilyichevsk).

Before Odessa from Kiev a 520 km long track is laid. Closer to the south roads are marked by a bad condition. To this you need to be ready.

If the time allotted for a vacation allows, you can reach Odessa by rail. To Zatoka there is an electric train with an interval of 2 hours. But it's much easier and faster to get to the village by bus. On the way, we'll have to spend about an hour. But buses are dispatched much more often than electric trains. They walk from the central railway station, as well as the bus station Privoz.

Geography of the village

Zatoka, reviews about which provide different holidaymakers, are conditionally divided into several districts (by the names of railway stations). The main resort areas are the Liman, Central and Sunny regions. There is also the Sea District and Bugaz.

Planning a noisy, brisk vacation, you should consider the proposals of the Central District. The station "Morskaya" is located in the narrowest part of the spit, so here the sea and the estuary are close.

Most of the houses and boarding houses are in the Liman part. At the entrance to Zatoka is the quietest area, which is more suitable for families with children.

The village boasts a warm dry climate. The average air temperature in summer is from +26 to +31 ºС, and water - from +20 to +24 ºС. In this area, the number of sunny days reaches a record 290 days a year. This attracts many tourists.

Accomodation

A large variety of boarding houses, private houses, cottages for several rooms boasts the village of Zatoka. Reviews about the rest, housing is quite ambiguous. First of all, you need to choose the right district (in accordance with your preferences).

Do not stop in the central part, if the vacation is planned to be quiet and measured. Wishing to go to bed early, it is better to give preference to quiet areas.

The choice of housing is very diverse. Economy class starts from 150 rubles. Per person per room without amenities. At the same time, you need to be prepared for the rather meager living conditions (toilet, shower in the street, without hot water, etc.). For 2-2,5 thousand rubles. In a day you can rent a good enough room with amenities, shared kitchen and hot water.

Many owners really scrupulous about the conditions of their guests' everyday life. It makes the rest comfortable. A separate house for 3-4 people will cost about 4-6 thousand rubles. per day.

Guest reviews

A pretty big resort is Zatoka. Reviews of tourists are very diverse. There are many positive and negative reviews. And from disappointments you can not be insured even when choosing an elite cottage.

Inexpensive rooms without convenience are better to choose only for a short stay. Many options for comfortable housing can provide Zatoka. Bases of rest, reviews about which are mostly positive, tastefully furnished, provide additional services. Tourists distinguish such boarding houses as "Ten stars", "Casablanca", "Laguna", etc.

However, there is a lot of negative reviews even about quite expensive housing. The facade of such cottages looks like a palace, and in the rooms the vacationers are forced to live in squalid little rooms for a very inflated price. Therefore, it is better not to pay accommodation for the whole rest. You can find the best option on the spot.

Beach

Warm sea and soft sand are the advantages that the village of Zatoka is famous for. Reviews of tourists on vacation note that in places of large concentrations of people (especially in the peak season) around a lot of debris. But it is possible to find pretty clean beaches.

Almost everywhere, for a small fee, you can rent an umbrella and sun loungers. It is better if they are numbered. Otherwise, after leaving for some business, you can not find your inventory upon your return. It's just that sometimes not very honest vacationers take it.

The beach marked an abundance of trade. Here, without getting up from the chaise longue, you can buy corn, pies, seafood, baklava and many other exotic and familiar food and drinks.

Sea

Quite ambiguous reviews about the sea, which is washed by the resort. It is quite volatile. And this affects the impression of the village Zatoka. Reviews resting give us to understand that in August the sea water is more often dirty than in June. At the end of summer, storms carry many algae ashore.

Depending on the current, a dense green sheath of marine vegetation can bear close to the shore only in the evening or, vice versa, in the morning. Also in this water there is a large number of large jellyfish. In algae they are not visible. After stumbling upon this marine creature, you can expect a poisonous attack. A small burn can darken the rest for several hours. Less jellyfish in early summer. The water in this period is cleaner, but colder.

Food

Those who want to relax with minimal expenses can consider such an option as cooking their own food. Almost all guest houses and cottages have equipped kitchens. The owners are ready to provide the necessary utensils, household appliances.

Products are better to buy in the morning on the local market. For lunch, the range of goods presented is significantly reduced. A much greater choice of products is provided by the markets, shops located near Belgorod-Dnestrovsky. The prices here are more than affordable.

Various cafes and restaurants are rich in Zatoka. Comments of Belarusians, Ukrainians and our compatriots speak about acceptable prices and rather good quality of such establishments.

In many private boarding houses, guest houses owners prepare their own dinner, lunch and breakfast. Some of them can take into account the wishes of their guests about the menu. But at the same time, many owners often prepare trivial semi-finished products from supermarkets.

Entertainment

Zatoka, reviews about which leave a wide variety of tourists, provides an extensive choice of entertainment. On the territory there are lunaparks, beach slides, water parachute and motor equipment. Those who like can go diving, fishing.
