Advantages and disadvantages of rest

Zatoka village is a great place to relax and improve in the summer. At the beginning of the season, there are fewer vacationers on the beaches, the water in the sea is cleaner, but during this period it is colder. Storms by the end of summer bring many algae ashore. Jellyfish live in the waters of the Black Sea and meeting with these inhabitants can slightly overshadow the rest.

Payment for housing is best not to immediately make for the entire stay. The facades of cottages are sometimes very beautiful, and the rooms are miserable, and the price is clearly too high.

Another problem found on all beaches is garbage. Many vacationers scold the resort village for the dirty sea and beach. But, considering this factor, it is necessary to take into account the culture and upbringing of tourists, and not blame this sea.
