Gelendzhik Bay, Bay at the Black Sea coast in Russia
The 12-kilometer coastline of Gelendzhik Bay stretches between Cape Tonkiy and Cape Tolstyi, with beaches covering two-thirds of the shoreline.
The region served as a Greek outpost called Torikos before appearing in Roman records as Pagrae in 64 BC along the Black Sea coast.
The name Gelendzhik originated from Turkish, meaning 'little bride,' referring to the historical marketplace where trading activities took place.
The maximum depth of 11 meters in the ice-free bay supports various water activities throughout the year, including swimming and boating.
The bay faces the Markotkh mountain range, which creates specific weather patterns and affects the local maritime conditions.
