The southern sun, the healing sea air, and the subtropical climate of Anapa have an amazing health-improving effect on the human body. If medicinal mineral waters are added to all these delights of a seaside holiday, your vacation will give you a health boost for the whole year.
Anapa's mineral springs, rich in various substances - iodine, sodium, boron, and others, have been known since the times of Ancient Greece. The springs are located in the Semigorsk area, 25 kilometers from Anapa, but the water is delivered to the pump room daily in exactly the same form in which it is obtained at the deposits.
Semigorsk waters vary in concentration and mineral content. For example, "Semigorskaya No. 1" is a medicinal table water that can be drunk just as it is and in almost any quantity, while "Semigorskaya No. 6" is much more concentrated; it is a medicinal water that must be taken according to certain rules.
Water No. 6 is very close in chemical composition to the famous Essentuki No. 17 water. It treats diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and improves the functioning of the stomach, liver, and bile ducts. For certain illnesses it should be drunk warm, for others cold, and a doctor will tell you exactly how to take the healing water.
The mineral water pump room is located near the Anapa embankment, so you can stop by here for a drink of water on the way to the beach and back. There are also "Anapskie" medicinal table waters here, not as concentrated, but also very beneficial.
