Just 6 km from Lazarevsky, on the very shore of the Black Sea, there is a small cozy resort village of Soloniki. It stretched along the gorge formed by the Tsuskhvadzh River. The coastline in the village is small, however, it is very popular among tourists. This is primarily due to the good transport accessibility of Solonik. Passes through the village federal highway, it even has its own railroad station. Even if the train does not stop in the village itself, you can get off at Lazarevsky and in just 10 minutes get to your destination by minibus or bus.
The village is focused only on serving tourists. There are several dozen hotels here, it is easy to find housing in the private sector. There are no industrial enterprises that pollute the sea and air, as well as ports in Thessaloniki. All entertainment and most of the shops and cafes are located on Tikhoretskaya Street, which is also the main street of the village. In the evening, bars open here, music plays. This is where all the entertainment of the village ends. Tourists choose Thessaloniki primarily because of clean sea and mountain air, lack of noise and fuss. If you want to plunge headlong into entertainment, then Lazarevsky is only 7 minutes by train.
In Thessaloniki unique climate, which is formed Caucasus mountains, many clean mountain rivers with icy water and the Black Sea. The village is immersed in stormy exotic greenery. Japanese banana, camphor tree, laurel, various citrus plants, cork oak grow here. It is in Thessaloniki that the source mineral water, which everyone knows under the name "Lazarevskaya". The main influx of tourists in Thessaloniki falls on July-August, when the average air temperature is around 25 0 C, and the water warms up to 24 0 C. But the swimming season opens here much earlier - already in mid-May. With favorable weather, the sea remains warm until the very end of October.
The beaches of Thessaloniki
The total length of the beach strip of Solonik is about 500 meters, the width of the coast reaches 30 meters. The entire coast is a single recreation area, only conditionally it is divided into municipal and children's beach health camp. Entrance is free everywhere, so no fences are installed on the shore.
The coast in Thessaloniki is sandy and pebbly. At the very edge of the water lies polished flat pebbles, in the center of the beach there is a sandy strip, which smoothly turns into small stones.
The beach is always free, here even in the middle of summer it is not crowded. This is one of the main advantages of Solonik. Also, the sea is amazingly clean and transparent. Firstly, there are few tourists, which means there is less garbage on the shore, and secondly, on the beach of the village you will not find the usual sewage drains, which are available in almost all Black Sea resorts. For these reasons, Thessaloniki is great for families with children.
As for entertainment, there is a rental of catamarans, boats, jet skis on the shore. You can ride a banana, a tablet, fly with a parachute. For children, trampolines, inflatable pools are installed, an attraction with electric cars is operating.

We chose a place to stay with children for a long time and settled on Thessaloniki. They never regretted their choice. The main criterion was the clean sea. Indeed, in the village on the beach there are no drains and, accordingly, an unpleasant sewer smell. There is not much entertainment on the shore and in the village itself, but Lazarevsky is within easy reach, and there is already a dolphinarium, a water park, and attractions. Once, my children and I decided to take a walk to Lazarevsky along the coast on foot. This event was not easy, as the children are small and we had to carry a lot of things with us. But for an adult, such a walk will not be stressful. The only obstacle on the shore is the Psezuapse River, which can overflow due to rains. The beach of Thessaloniki is mostly pebbles, but you can also find sand with small pebbles. There are few people, there is no problem to find a place. Along the beach there is a promenade where you can eat and buy everything you need for the beach. The toilet (paid) and changing rooms on the beach are clean, a town has been built for children.
We spent two weeks in Thessaloniki and generally liked our vacation. But we traveled with a child and chose a village where it is calmer and quieter, but with a group of friends it will be boring here. The sea in the village is very clean, the beach too. The beach is quite wide and spacious. Everything is like everywhere else: trampolines for children, catamarans, bananas, parachutes, merchants of churchkhela and corn. We rested at the height of the season, the beginning of August, and there were not very many people on the beach. But the weather is hot. In the afternoon it is better not to stick out on the street, otherwise sunstroke is guaranteed. Soloniks are great for a quiet family vacation with kids.
In Thessaloniki, the rest seemed to me like a pensioner))) But it was there that I was able to take a break from the city and the noise. The whole holiday is a walk to the beach and back, there is nothing more to do in the village. You can go to Lazarevskoye (it is very close), but I never got around to it. The beach is clean, of course, sometimes there was garbage, but it was very rare. The sea is clean, without breakwaters and large stones. If you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle, then the beaches of Solonik are the best.
Rest in Thessaloniki is budgetary, as there is no entertainment here and there is nowhere to spend money. But the sea and the beach are great. The water is clean and warm. Often dolphins sailed to the beach, once jellyfish appeared. The shore is pebbly, the stones are large for me, but special slippers for 250 rubles. the problem was solved. The sea is clean, the nature is beautiful, the air is fresh, what else is needed for relaxation.
Thessaloniki is, first of all, a clean sea. Of course, the storm brings garbage, but it is quickly removed. There are no smelly sewer drains into the sea. The beach in the village is pebbly, but for me it's a plus. In the morning and after lunch, children from the local camp come to the beach, but they swim for a short time and under supervision, so they don’t bother anyone. There are few people on the beach, but if you want to completely retire, you can walk to the right or left of Tikhoretskaya Street and find a completely deserted place. The central beach has everything you need to relax: awnings, sun loungers, changing rooms, toilets. Not much entertainment, but enough. You can also ride a catamaran and fly with a parachute.

History of Thessaloniki
Soloniks are located at the mouth of the Tsuskhvadzh River. In ancient times, the Adyghe clan Tsus lived in the river valley and there was a settlement of Tsuskvadzhe (Tsuskuadzh). After the Russian colonization, the aborigines left, and the settlers founded a new settlement here, originally called Selyaniki - from the name of the landowner who lived here in the 19th century, the military foreman - Selyanik-Krasa. The Solyanika-Krasa estate is located in the gorge of the Tsuskvadzh River. In 1896-1897, the Russian geographer A. I. Voeikov noted "... the estate of Soleni-ka-Krasa" on the Black Sea coast. Over time, the name changed to Thessaloniki under the influence of the local Greek population, which reminded them of the city of Thessaloniki in Greece (through Turkish. Selanik - Thessaloniki).
The Soloniki farm is marked on the map of 1905 and is located along the Tuapse-Sochi highway. Already on the map of 1913 in the guide Moskvich A.A. the glade of Soloniki-Krasa is marked. According to some reports, in 1893 the estate was in the possession of Lieutenant Commander Sergei Pole. From June 30, 1920 to May 18, 1922, the village of Soloniki was included in the Tuapse department of the Kuban-Black Sea region.

The decision has been made - this is the village of Soloniki, located not far from a large Sochi resort Lazarevskoe. The first thing you need is a map of the village of Thessaloniki.
Accordingly, the question of how you can get to Thessaloniki also becomes relevant for you. From Thessaloniki 4 km to Lazarevsky Thessaloniki can be reached by rail, by car. Any transport that makes a stop or passes through the village of Lazarevskoye is suitable for a trip to Thessaloniki.

As you go deeper into the continental part, the cost decreases significantly. Rest in Thessaloniki at prices for 2019 can be classified as inexpensive and affordable. Most mini-hotels are open for admission no more than five months a year (from May to October), although some of them can be accommodated in the off-season. For those who come to rest by private car, it is best to choose accommodation near the M27 highway. From there it is convenient to get to the beach, and the cost there is the lowest. But in the area of the Tsushvadzh River there is a very picturesque landscape.

Residential developments are partly located in the gorge, and partly along the federal highway. The sea in Thessaloniki is open, and own line small beaches.

However, many vacationers consider it an independent settlement, because. it is separated from the rest of the territory by foothills and has its own railway junction. There are about 50 mini-hotels in the village, which is more than enough for such a large area. In addition to serving vacationers, no other household. no activity is taking place. Holidays in Thessaloniki are not considered year-round, because. winter climatic conditions in the gorge are less comfortable.
For a long time, representatives of the Adyghe clan Tsus lived on the territory of the settlement, giving the name to the local river. After the arrival of the Russians in the first half of the 1800s, the Adyghes left, and military families settled. The surname of one of the first centurions of the village was Selyanik-Krasa. Therefore, the settlement began to be called Selyaniki. And with the advent of the Pontic Greeks, the name was reduced to Thessaloniki, which was more familiar to them for pronunciation.

Further, a whole ridge of excellent, though not always equipped, beaches goes to the sides for several kilometers. The beaches are quite wide (up to 20m) and clean. There are relatively few vacationers here, so during the season a large crowding is a rather rare occurrence.

This is followed by the beaches of the Halkidiki peninsula. People who visit the northern part of Greece quite consciously choose remote resort settlements. A beach holiday in Thessaloniki (Greece) is really good, you want to come back here again and again.
