Apollonova Bay

Apollonova Bay is a natural cove along the Black Sea coast with deep waters and rocky shorelines. The sheltered inlet is surrounded by steep banks that create a protected harbor.

The bay formed naturally over time and became strategically important for the Russian Black Sea Fleet operations. Its location along the coast established it as a significant anchorage point for maritime activity across centuries.

The waters of Apollonova Bay reflect the naval traditions of Sevastopol, where generations of sailors have trained and navigated these waters.

The bay is accessible from the coastal road and easily reached via Sevastopol's main road network. It is best visited by car or local transport to view the waters from various shore points.

The bay's curved shape blocks strong winds and creates calm conditions for vessels. This natural wind protection has made it a preferred anchorage for generations of seafarers.
