usually toward the end of August and September. Drainage. The resort
is situated on the coast of the Black Sea, which is a closed sea,
its only connection with the World Ocean is the Bosphorus Strait that
links it with the Sea of Marmara. This fact and the big European rivers,
flowing into the Black Sea– Danube, Dnepr, Dnestr and Don, are the
reason for the low salinity of the water. The salinity of 18 ppm,
the weak tides and also the lack of dangerous aquatic animals differs
the Black Sea from the rest of the seas. These conditions give excellent
premises for the development of summer tourism on the coasts of this
water basin, as well as for other recreational activities like water
sports, fishing and so on. Kiten lies on a small peninsula between
the two Black Sea bays Karaagach and Atliman /the second one is the
southest part of the Devilish bay/. Respectively into them are mouthing
the rivers Karaagach /also called Kitenska river/ and Diavolska (Devilish
river). Chub and grey mullet mountain barbel, pike-perch and other
are to be found in both rivers. In the resort there is also a mineral
spring that is located close to the ÓAtlimanÔ camping. The water comes
from a depth of about 700 m. It is canalized and is with ascertained
chemical composition /nitrates chlorides 277 mg/dm3/. The water of
this spring is used mainly for drinking |
