Taman' in January
Not the best time
January in Taman' means bracing cold and limited outdoor activities. Tourism infrastructure runs at minimum capacity, but you'll have archaeological sites mostly to yourself.
Weather
January hits you with Kuban winter at its coldest. Temperatures hover around freezing with frequent snow and ice. The humidity stays relatively low, but the wind off the steppe cuts right through you.

All Months
May through September gives you the best weather, but each month has its personality. May brings wildflowers across the steppes and comfortable temperatures around 20°C. June and July get hot - often hitting 35°C - but the sea is perfect for swimming. August can be sweltering, but it's harvest season at the wineries. September is ideal: warm days, cool evenings, and the summer crowds have gone home. Winter here is harsh and most tourist sites close. The archaeological museum stays open year-round, but you'll miss the outdoor excavations and boat trips to nearby ruins.
