In Taganrog, you can combine walks through the historic centre or a stay by the bay with time at the pool. The collection includes city hotels, family cottages and out-of-town retreats.
At Nautilus & SPA, guests can swim in the indoor pool and complement their stay with banya or spa programmes. Malikon combines two seasonal outdoor pools with a year-round indoor aqua zone, while Podvorye, 8 km from the city centre, suits those who prefer a heated outdoor pool and traditional Russian style.
At Stantsiya Morskaya, guests can enjoy a warm panoramic pool and hot tub, with two-day access to the aqua zone included for stays of one night or longer. Panorama Country Club, on the shore of Taganrog Bay, has three outdoor pools, including one heated year-round.
Look for accommodation in the historic centre, where Kryzhovnik and Beluga Residence are located. A useful landmark is Alferaki Palace, home to the local history museum, at 41 Frunze Street.
For the cooler months, consider the indoor pool at Nautilus & SPA, Malikon’s year-round indoor aqua zone or Podvorye’s heated outdoor pool. At Panorama Country Club, one of the three outdoor pools is also heated throughout the year.
Beluga Residence apartments are convenient for self-catering, while larger families can choose its cottage with three bedrooms, two kitchen areas and a children’s room with bunk beds; there is an outdoor pool on site. If a hotel room is enough, STAR CRYSTAL offers kitchenettes and a seasonal pool, while Kryzhovnik’s pool schedule is best confirmed with reception in advance.
