Discover Olginka

• The Church of Saint Princess Olga was consecrated on February 18, 2006.
• “Leto” water park opened in Olginka in 2009. Its attractions include slides for adults and children.
• In the wave pool, the water is ankle-deep at the entrance and gets deeper farther in.
• The open-air museum of cannons and anchors displays modern and historic anchors, cannons, and other ship parts.
• A 2024 article describes the private Stark Museum and its exhibits on Olginka’s history.

The slides differ according to the stated age groups: there are slides for adults and slides in the children’s pool. Slides for older children include three-meter-long models. This helps distinguish the offerings without conflating the different areas. If you are traveling with children, you can also consider which water areas are suitable for your group’s swimming abilities.

In the wave pool, the water is ankle-deep at the entrance and gets deeper farther in. The shallow entrance therefore does not describe the depth of the entire pool. Children and adults can swim in the deepest area if they are confident swimmers or have swim rings with them. This condition is important to bear in mind when planning to use the pool. Check the water park’s current operating information before visiting.

The Church of Saint Princess Olga offers a specific historical reference point: it was consecrated on February 18, 2006. For maritime history, the open-air museum of cannons and anchors displays a collection of modern and historic anchors, cannons, and other ship parts. The anchor collection includes items from the Mediterranean region and Krasnodar Krai. This brings into focus both different types of exhibits and two named regions of origin.

The private Stark Museum is devoted to Olginka’s history from its founding. A 2024 article describes portraits of the founders and well-known figures whose dachas were in Olginka at the beginning of the 20th century. The collection offers another perspective on local history, alongside the maritime collection and the church’s consecration date. If visiting the private museum is important to your plans, check access arrangements in advance.

The wider Krasnodar Krai region has a variety of coastal landscapes. At Anapskaya Peresyp Nature Park, visitors can walk along the coast beside wide, golden beaches. Farther from the sea, the sand forms a series of high dunes. These beaches and dunes illustrate two distinct coastal landscapes in the region.

At Azov Spits Nature Park, sea waves and currents shape sand and shells into spits and islands with varied outlines. Bird colonies of various gull, tern, and cormorant species are present year-round on shallow waters near the coast, at the tips of spits, and on sandy islands. The presence of individual birds varies seasonally. These examples give you an impression of the region’s nature, while the church and collections mentioned earlier concern Olginka’s local culture.
