Taman - the only place dissemination of antique civilization on the territory of Russia. But the sea here has led not only to the inhabitants of ancient Greece, but the kingdom of Pontus, the Roman Empire, Byzantium and the Genoese republic, the Turkish ports. Steppe - Sarmatians, Goths, Avars, tyurkyutov, Bulgars, Khazars, Pechenegs Polovtzy and the Tatar-Mongols. River roads penetrated the north-west Ruses and Slavs. From the Caucasus came Alani, Kasogs, Circassians. There were old Russian Tmutarakan principality, which was the southern outpost and the first cordon of Kievan Rus.
On August 25, 1792 began a new history of the Taman Peninsula. On this day on the shore of Taman landed Cossacks. Monument dedicated to the landing. On the granite boulder standing figure of the Zaporizhzhya Cossacks, first came to this land. Since then, Taman again become part of Russia.
In the same year at the Taman Peninsula, was found a marble slab with an inscription carved on it in Russian - Tmutarakan stone. After such findings prove the existence Tmutarakani could be one way - in archaeological excavations. They were from XIX century to the middle of XX century on the site of detection plate. Excavations have confirmed the existence of the principality, which many regarded as a fairy tale. Archaeologists have uncovered not only the oldest Russian settlements, but also the ruins of ancient cities Phanagoria and Germany-nass. Success scientists have generated enormous interest among the Russian society. Began this cultural pilgrimage to the peninsula. For a very short time he was visited A.S. Griboedov, Pushkin, A.I.

And on the out skirts of the village remained a unique source, called "Turkish fountain". He more than 300 years. Swimming solidly concreted, among the sands. Turkish fountain - the only one in the Kuban, and perhaps in the world, condensation source.
He works well. The pipes that are buried in the sand in great depth, the temperature even in the hottest day not exceed 20 ° C. The moist sea air brings on the sandy shore in the form of water vapor. Water vapor is absorbed by sand and gradually penetrates into the thick of it, where and condenses in ceramic tubes. Then drop by drop, water flows into a fountain. Surprisingly, it is a fact. When you drink water from the "Turkish fountain, you do not drink anything, and this underground dew. In Lermontov's Taman here remember and thank him for that immortalized small town in the literature. Unfortunately, Taman did not survive a single hut with the time when the great poet lived here - the revolution and war have been razed everything that comes their way without thinking about the historical or cultural value. In 1964, at the edge of the precipice, on the ground, where eyewitnesses, was cottage in which he lived Lermontov by local scholars and admirers are Lermontov was reconstituted cottage with a farmstead. Now in Taman is a small but unique museum dedicated to the poet, who is considered the pride of the village and strategic objects, because it is a museum and history attracts thousands of tourists every year here.
In fact, Lermontov not flatteringly about Taman, here are some of the most characteristic of his remarks: "Taman '- the nasty little town from all the coastal cities of Russia," where I very nearly died of starvation, and even besides me want to drown. " But after many years, it no longer matters what the poet wrote, it is important that he wrote, and it is important that one of his works he gave the name "Taman".
The modern village of Taman is primarily a resort, with bases of rest, private hotels, vibrant nightlife and of course the beach. The Taman Gulf is rich in fish and land Taman annually give a good crop of southern fruits and vegetables.

On the Taman Peninsula, except Taman, located a few large villages: Starotitarovskaya, Akhtala-Nizovskaya, Vyshesteblievskaya. All villages are kTem-rkzhskomu Krasnodar region. Such an administrative division has led to the fact that resort development area of the Black Sea coast Taman place not so rapidly as other parts of the coast of Kuban. Therefore, the Taman Peninsula have not yet experienced the full invasion of tourists and has retained its wild beauty. Southern coast of the Taman Peninsula, its headlands and salt lakes apparently not the brightest place in Krasnodar Krai. However, only one sandy beach, which stretches from Salt Lake to Bugaz spit past Vityazevskogo estuary until Anapa, has a length of more than 40 kilometers with a width of about 100 meters.
