The described state owns part of the northern and the nearest half of the eastern Caspian coast. Convenient beaches are located just near major cities. And those have “air gates”. Airports accept liners of different airlines.
Aktau (Shevchenko)
Such resorts of Kazakhstan as this one can boast of a well-known housing infrastructure. The Mangystau agglomeration of Aktau is on the 15th place in terms of size and population. However, in terms of landscaping, it gives odds to many megacities. What is one main photo of everyone who has been here worth – the skyscrapers of the Ceremonial Square or the idyllic-looking mosque. Beket-Ata. The only “but”. This part of the Mangyshlak peninsula is a desert and semi–desert. So don’t count on greens. But the climate allows you to swim from May to October inclusive.
Equipped swimming pools – “Manila”, “Nur Plaza”, “Dostar” and “Marrakech” (large and medium pebbles and pebble “sand”). Closer to the beaches are such hotels as “Samal” (pools, landscaping, 4 types of rooms), “Stigle”, “Kenderli” and “Grand Victory” (the popular nickname “Tower”). From the upper floors of the latter, you can really see all the city blocks, port facilities, as well as a large piece of the Caspian Sea.
Kurike
This resort village is located 70 kilometers from Aktau. Not so long ago, it served exclusively for oil producers. Yet now the amenities are waiting for tourists. Beaches of the same property. But there is a difference from the Aktau ones. Not far away you will find rich deposits of therapeutic mud.
Fort Shevchenko
This seaside resort of Kazakhstan is located on the same peninsula, but it protrudes into the sea much further (it is built almost on its very nose – on Cape Tyubkaragan). Like the one just described, this locality is named after the writer Taras Shevchenko. It really used to be a fortification. Nowadays, it already implies a beach center, including pebble recreations equipped with everything necessary. Alas, most of the sea edge is occupied by large stones. However, the water here is very clean. Visitors are looking forward to the complexes “Bautino” and “Blue Bay” (owned by the company “Chagall Group”).
Atyrau (Guryev)
Kazakhstan’s seaside resorts for Russians and residents of other Slavic states start from here – from the northernmost Kazakh port. It is the 11th largest city in the country. Moreover, it does not lie on the Caspian Sea itself. It is connected to it by a convenient channel – in fact, an artificial continuation of the Ural River.
Guryev is a toponym derived from the name of the Russian entrepreneur Guriy Nazariev. Back in 1640, he built a prison in this place. And already his children kept an inn where they could eat and spend the night. In the post-Perestroika period, the Kazakhs decided to return the more ancient name of this area. After all, the Turks from time immemorial called the girla of the Ural River “Atyrau”.
At the moment, guests are offered accommodation in comfortable hotels, many of which are not inferior in height to local business centers (the city is very beautiful). We are talking about the “Atyrau Renaissance”, “A.T.B. Grand Wanted”, “Atyrau”, “Sultan Palace”, “Infinity Plaza Wanted” and the mini-complex “Venice”. The former Guryev is located in the northern half of the arid zone of the temperate zone. There are more trees here (although not much). Bathing recreations have fine sand as a surface.
