The resort village of Melekyne is located on the coast of the Azov Sea not far from the Belosaraiskaya Spit. 150 km from Donetsk, 20 km from Mariupol. The settlement was founded in the second half of the 19th century. As a fishing artel of the landowner Meleko, for a long time it remained a small fishing village. Recently, Melekyne has been actively developing as a seaside resort. Almost all recreation centers are located in close proximity to the sea. The water near the coast warms up well. The beaches are sandy, the entrance to the water is shallow. A local attraction is the unfinished Orthodox Church of the Great Martyr Barbara.
