Anapa in June 2026 – is it worth going on vacation? Weather and reviews, air and water temperature, is it possible to swim, prices in hotels and excursions, how to get there? What to do in Anapa in June, what to see, where to go and go with children and go nearby – says Eurotraveler.
It is well known that Anapa is popular, one might even say beloved by mothers, for children resort Russia at sea. After all, the number of vacationers under the age of 18 in the summer months here literally goes off scale.
Infants and those who have left infancy but have not yet started school usually muddy the waters with their parents. Older children relax in organized groups in general health and sports camps. Yes, they go for a swim and come back when the whistle blows, but on the whole they have no reason to complain.
Why? The reason lies on the surface! After all, the climate of Anapa in June is still moderately hot, and the humidity is not off the charts.
That is, resting here at this time = “what the doctor ordered.” And it is definitely indicated for fragile organisms that do not need neither overheating nor hypothermia!
Well, and not only they, of course, should vacation in Anapa in June. Literally everyone who doesn’t like tourist crowds should enjoy it here at the beginning of summer. And, on the contrary, he loves peace and quiet (everything is relative, of course, since we are talking about a large resort).
Worth knowing
Note that the Anapa coastal strip is mostly covered with soft golden sand of a pleasant texture. Happy bare feet! Unlike pebbles, which abound in the vast majority of Black Sea resorts in the Krasnodar Territory.
In 2026, it is still worth remembering the possible consequences of a fuel oil spill in the Black Sea near Anapa in December 2024. Which was bluntly called an environmental disaster and led to the closure of local beaches in the 2025 season.
Weather in Anapa in June
Judging by long-term statistics, he sins instability. As soon as you believe – summer has finally arrived – and bang, a cold wind from the northeast makes you shiver and hastily pull out your sweaters. I frankly don’t want to get into the water; even staying on the shore looks like an unjustified sacrifice.
Yes, it happened – you can easily find relevant reviews on the Internet. However, one should not give in to despondency – in recent years, even at the beginning of June in Anapa it is warm, and not at all as harsh and unpredictable as it was before.
It all starts quite modestly – no higher than +22-24 °C – during the day. And it’s just cold: +12-16 °C at night.
But even before the end of the first ten days of June, the air temperature in Anapa reaches the range +25-27 degrees Celsius. And he has his sights set on conquering new heights.
In the future, giving very little reason for holidaymakers to be dissatisfied. Because every day the weather forecasts promise something completely southern, and street thermometers can show +30 °C even before the middle of the month.
Further, by the way, there may be even more. Although not by much…
The probability of a sharp drop in temperatures to +20-22 °C is not too high, but it exists. However, such a failure lasts at most 2-3 days.
And active vacationers will always find how to use it to their advantage – there are places to go in Anapa!
The nights throughout most of June are much colder, there’s no denying that. Not +12-14 °C, of course, such temperatures are only possible at the very beginning of the month, but +17-19 °C happens regularly.
So if you like to watch the sun set on the beach, bring enough warm clothes!
You say, why make such sacrifices? It’s warmer in Adler in June? Possibly (though not a fact). But the conditions for children’s recreation there are worse: there are virtually no sandy beaches and the depth increases much faster!
Again, the sea in Anapa blooms at the end of June, not earlier. And this is a good reason to “have time.”
Precipitation and humidity
Rains do occur – statistically, in terms of dampness, the beginning of summer in Anapa is second only to January. But mostly precipitation occurs stormy and short-lived character.
It may rain from the sky only 4-5 days a month – the rest of the time you have every right to count on variable or clear weather. Let us emphasize that it is hot, the atmosphere can warm up to +28-32 °C.
Humidity is oppressive at times, rising to 80-85%. But in most cases this (important!) climate indicator is still below 75%.
Water temperature
The swimming season in Anapa begins quite sourly: +19-20 °C off the coast will not encourage anyone to take long swims. But, thanks to the shallow depths, the coastal waters warm up quickly.
By mid-June, the Black Sea near Anapa warms up to +23-24 °C degrees. And by the end of the month it reaches temperatures of +25-27 degrees Celsius.
A feature of the area, apparently tied to the wind rose, is the sudden cooling coastal waters up to +17-18 °C. Here it is called “drive”, and also “lower”. And in scientific terms – upwelling!
The downside of this phenomenon is that it is almost unpredictable. Plus, after a few days no one will remember about it, since everything returns to “normal.”
And, by the way, upwelling is more typical for the beginning of July. It’s as if nature is preparing a surprise, waiting for vacationers to relax.
A significant disadvantage is the blooming sea (usually at the end of June) near Anapa. Warming of the water to +25-26 degrees Celsius, shallow depths and a sandy bottom are considered the main reasons for the appearance of entire fields of unpleasant green stone near the beaches.
But another reason for the formation of algae is also mentioned in passing – let’s call it physiological. Well, or “uncultured” – whoever likes what!
Prices 2026
Independent travelers will obviously not want to rely on a tour operator when organizing their own holiday. And they will take care of the business themselves – especially since it is not difficult!
With train tickets, everything is not very good – they are quite expensive (a seat in a reserved seat from Moscow to Anapa will cost 5,500, in a compartment from 7 to 15,000 rubles). And sometimes it’s very difficult to get them.
So the easiest (and cheaper) way to get to Anapa is by car. Again, then you can explore the surroundings of the resort or go further afield: to the same Gelendzhik and Sochi.
Renting inexpensive housing in Anapa will be a quick fix. One has only to move away to a distance slightly greater than the sacramental “5 minutes from the sea“.
As for mini-hotels and guest houses, they are more expensive (from 3,000 rubles per day for two). But sometimes they offer their guests both breakfast and full board.
For those who like to save money, we recommend looking in the village of Vityazevo. And even better – in the village of Blagoveshchenskaya! Where there are enough inexpensive guest houses, again, and located very close to the sea!
The sandy beaches in the village are almost better, there are many times fewer holidaymakers, and the water is cleaner! I don’t remember about algae; there are no jellyfish at this time yet!
Excursions to Anapa and the surrounding area are not too expensive: from 1,500 rubles for one and from 5 thousand for a whole group.
Things to do
We wrote in detail about available entertainment in Anapa earlier. This includes a large water park with a dolphinarium, the Gorgippia archaeological museum, and attractions for children in the city park of the 30th anniversary of the Victory.
Also, citizens vacationing in Anapa in June should develop a rich excursion program. Primarily due to acceptable air temperatures, allowing for long walks outside air-conditioned areas.
Autotourists can consider the possibility of an independent trip to Bolshoy Utrish and Sukko. In the first, a nature reserve and an open water dolphinarium attract attention; in the second, there is a grove of American cypress trees.
Many would like to see the Akhtanizovsky estuary next to the village of the same name, in which Indian lotuses have taken root perfectly. But, alas, they begin to bloom no earlier than July.
Trips to Abrau-Durso, one of the options for “Russian Switzerland”, are popular. Restless holidaymakers will certainly come to Kerch.
But what, this Crimean resort, where examples of architectural creativity from the times of the Bosporan Kingdom have been preserved, is located very close to Anapa (120 km, 2 hours by car)?!
A trip to the resort of Gelendzhik, which is only 85 km away along the highway, does not look like an immensely tiring task. You will also find something to do there: the Safari Park with the cable car alone will take up several hours of time.
Those who are completely restless will probably, no matter what, visit Sochi (330 km). However, there is no particular reason to go to the latter for one day: by the time you get there, you already need to go back.
