Taman, Coastal settlement on Taman Peninsula, Russia.

Taman stands at the meeting point of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, featuring sand beaches and a moderate climate across all seasons.

The settlement evolved from ancient Greek colonies of Hermonassa and Tmutarakan, later becoming a Turkish fortress until Russian annexation in 1783.

The memorial house of Mikhail Lermontov preserves the literary connection to his novel 'A Hero of Our Time' which takes place in Taman.

The Port of Taman handles substantial cargo operations, including grain and coal shipments, while connecting to major transportation networks in the region.

The oldest Russian Orthodox church in the Kuban region, constructed by Cossack settlers in 1793, remains a central landmark in Taman.
