Whether you love nature, history, or simply want a taste of Kazakhstan’s seaside, Aktau is a destination full of pleasant surprises.

A Glimpse into the Past

Once a small settlement, Aktau grew rapidly during the Soviet era, primarily as a center for uranium mining and later as a crucial port on the Caspian Sea. Over time, it transformed into a lively, modern city, but traces of its Soviet past blend seamlessly with the present day, giving it a unique character and charm.

When to Go

The best time to enjoy Aktau is between May and September, when the weather is pleasant and perfect for beach activities and exploring the coastal cliffs. Winters tend to be chilly and windy but still manageable for those who prefer quiet strolls along the shore without crowds.
