The islands of St. Petersburg — Kamenny, Krestovsky. Yelagin

St. Petersburg is a city in which land and water exist in harmony. The always flowing Neva River branches off into a series of canals, forming many islands. Three of them form a special group, being dubbed “islands” in the 1830s and actually having the word as part of their names - Yelagin, Krestovsky and Kamenny islands. Each one of these islands is interesting in its own way. Kamenny Island is home to an old, wooden theatre and church in which the great Russian poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin had his children christened. On Yelagin Island visitors can stroll around its beautiful park and see its luxurious palace. Krestovsky Island is popular among those who love sport and relaxing in the fresh air. Each of these islands has long held its name as well as its unique history and a romantic atmosphere that has remained present even in the 21st century.

Vacation on the Asafov Islands

Work on the Gorky Reservoir began in 1948, and was completed almost ten years later. The appearance of this artificial lake had an effect many things, including the local climate, flora and fauna. It changed the species composition of fish and the speed of the Volga River’s flow. Areas that were once barren and void of life became covered in green. Nowadays one of the reservoir’s most popular places is the Asafovy Islands. This is a place where fishermen and tourists alike love to set up camp and the site of large touristic festivals.
