Kaji Say

Kaji Say, also known as Kadzhi Say, is a relatively young settlement. It was established in the 1940s to provide a home for workers at the uranium mine that opened there, followed shortly by a coal mine. After the mine closed, the town remained and is now divided into two areas: the main village, located about three kilometers above the lakeshore, and the beach and resort area directly on the shore.

There are numerous guesthouses, small hotels, and pensions. In addition to the beach, the surrounding landscape is particularly fascinating. Nearby, you’ll find the famous Fairy Tale Canyon, known for its stunning sandstone formations. In fact, the entire region around Kaji Say is a breathtaking expanse of red-orange sandstone rock formations. A visit is definitely worthwhile!
