Dzhankhot

Dzhankhot is a coastal settlement in Gelendzhik District situated near the Black Sea at about 12 meters above sea level. The village sits close to the Markoth mountain ridge and is served by bus routes connecting to Gelendzhik.

The village was established in 1870 as rural communities developed along the Black Sea coast. This founding marked part of the early settlement and growth of the Krasnodar region.
