Except already mentioned Health Centre "Arhipo-Osipovka" where you, by the way, can treat your nervous and cardiovascular systems, locomotor system, and gastrointestinal tract, there is also a preventorium "Vulan" located almost at the sea-front, all the vacationists will be surrounded with warmth, care and attention.
There are about 20 recreation bases and comfortable camping in Arhipka.
Do not neglect the services of a private sector. For the last few years a great amount of big and small private hotels has grown here, and believe us, their service is not worse, than at expensive hotels: de luxe suites, half-luxe suites, single, double or three-bedded rooms with hot water, sauna and toilets. The owners try to do their best to attract clients and do not stint their expenses. Rooms are more expensive near the sea, but if you are fond of a quiet night dream we do not advise you to lodge not far from the sea-front - the noisy resort night life will hardly allow you to fall asleep: the musical discordance and karaoke fan's singing is heard till morning from cafes, restaurants and discos. In this case it is better to lodge far away from the sea, and the apartments there are much cheaper.
Local residents treat the vacationists more than friendly. They perfectly realize that their well-being depends on the inflow of the vacationists, and so the attitude to them is the most loyal and friendly. People here are engaged in the reception of vacationists for a long time so the experience of relationship with them is transferred from generation to generation. Arhipo-Osipovka is so much attractive, that people come here for years and do not want to change it for any another place. The 10-thousand population of Arhipka during a summer season increases to 150 - 180 thousand - and there is enough place, warmth and care for everyone.
The mentions of Arhipka in fiction also testify to the popularity of the settlement. In the novels of the brother and sister Anna and Sergey Litvinovy which very popular nowadays Arhipo-Osipovka is described under a name Abrikosovka. Very many realities of this place are quite recognized. By the way, the authors have chosen Arhipka for their rest too and they come here for many years successively.
There are also unlimited opportunities for the admirers of romantic rest: if you walk along the coast from Arhipka in the direction of Gelendzhik you will come to a wonderful place - Sosnovka. Just imagine a primeval paradise (God had probably created our Earth like that): the sea, pines and deep dark blue southern sky! A Paradise for those who are in love and the poor men.
