Bring cash as some smaller shops may not accept cards, and check ferry schedules in advance if heading to nearby islands. English is rarely spoken, so learning a few Russian phrases can be helpful.

Dress modestly in public and beach areas; tipping is appreciated but not mandatory (round up bills in cafés); be respectful of local customs and fishing traditions.
Safety Warnings
Exercise caution near the port at night due to industrial traffic; petty theft is rare but keep an eye on personal items at crowded beaches; beware of unsecured piers.
