Gelendzhik , Russia

 For all these years I have this card I used to believe that this city was situated in the North of Russia (!) . I don't know how I had that impression really until today that I googled it and found out it is in the very south of Russia in the shores of the Black Sea. To be more exact :

Gelendzhik (Russian: Геленджи́к) is a resort town in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, situated on the Gelendzhik Bay of the Black Sea, between Novorossiysk and Tuapse . Greater Gelendzhik sprawls for 102 kilometers  along the coastline and covers an area of 122,754 hectares , although only 1,926 hectares  fall within the boundaries of Gelendzhik proper. Population: 54,980 (2010 Census. ( From Wikipedia as usual )

During the Soviet period, Gelendzhik was developed as a spa. It possesses sand beaches, three waterparks, two aerial tramway lines, and two Orthodox churches (from 1909 and 1913, respectively). The environs of Gelendzhik are noted for a chain of waterfalls, an outcrop of dolmens, two extremely ancient pine and juniper groves, and the Sail Rock, located 17 kilometers (11 mi) from the town's central area. The coastal village ofArkhipo-Osipovka, administrated from Gelendzhik, contains the terminus of the Blue Stream gas pipeline. An annual hydroaviasalon is held in Gelendzhik since 1996.
