Water temperature…
Beryslav, situated on the right bank of the Kakhovka Reservoir on the Dnieper River, has a long and storied past. Originally, it was the site of the great Lithuanian castle and later a significant Ottoman fortress named 'Kizikermen'. It was captured by Cossacks and later became a key Russian stronghold. Today, remnants of this history can be found, including the historic Holy Resurrection Church. The city's location on the Dnieper has always defined its character, making it a hub for river trade and fishing. The local cuisine features freshwater fish, borscht, and varenyky (dumplings). The vast expanse of the Kakhovka Reservoir features opportunities for water-based recreation. Visiting in late spring or early autumn gives the most comfortable weather. Beryslav is connected by road to the regional capital of Kherson, which serves as the main transportation hub for reaching the city.
