The seaside resort is famous for its green forests and a wide pebble beach. The sea here is the cleanest in the region of Bolshoi Gelendzhik.
Near the coast there are recreation centers, a children's sanatorium and campings, and at a distance from the beach there are mini-hotels, guest houses and the private sector. The main disadvantage of Krinitsa is that it is rather boring in the village.
Ergana: "There are no big shops, but there is a pharmacy stall, small shops, a canteen, a small market and public toilets. In the evenings there is nothing to do and nowhere to go. The sea is gorgeous. Dolphins swim, you can ride on catamarans. And we didn't want more."
Is it expensive to rest

A double room on the first line costs from 3,700 rubles, options 1 km from the beaches - from 2,000 rubles per day. A turnkey house for 4-5 people will cost 3500-6500 rubles.

Vacation with children
According to reviews, rest in Krinitsa with a child has pros and cons. The village has a comfortable beach and a lot of fresh air. Not far from the sea there is a swimming pool with electric hydrocycles in the form of swans, a game labyrinth "Spiderman" and an inflatable trampoline-ship.
The village has hilly relief. If the guest house is far away, you will have to go down the hill to the beach. Going back up with a small child, and even more so with a stroller, is not easy. There is housing near the sea, but in high season it is in great demand. Book your room in advance!
