On the southern coast, separated from the steppes by mountains is very warm (by Russian standards), there is a Mediterranean climate in that place. Ancient Greeks have had colonies there. Those place was part of the Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman Empires. Genoeses also lived there and built mighty fortresses.
