I decided to somehow go on vacation in Sochi to my friend. The case was in the fall, and I was not hoping to spend most of the holiday, sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the sea. As a result, I decided to make a small excursion for the most beautiful in Sochi.
So, what I remember most, and what I would like to advise see.
Well, of course, the first place where I went was Olympic park . It is here that the XXII Olympic Winter Games is held now.
The park is huge, walked almost on him half a day. But not one park I wanted to see. Next, I will describe what is worth visiting.
Arboretum Park . This truly huge park takes 69 hectares. It's very beautiful here, all green, many reservoirs.
A unique plants are growing here: large palm trees, volatile lyriandrons, columnidal cypresses. And from the top park in general, the wonderful look opens.
Park "Riviera . There are so many different trees in this park. On the one side of the park is the Poland of Friendship. There are many magnolias on it. And on the other hand, the park is attractions and playrooms for children. The cost of attractions on average 150 rubles.
Even in the fall, when I was there, the park was very green, despite the fact that many trees have long risen the foliage.
Mini Museum Corner Valland which is known for local as Sochi phytofantasia is a very unusual place. Previously, this garden served as the so-called laboratory for Sergey Vurengygov, where new plant species were grown. Be sure to take a camera with you - here is the truth beautiful.
Garden Museum of Friendship Tree.
There really is such a tree - this is a wild lemon with ancient italian lemon grafted to it and American grapefruit. And then another 4 more citrus species were vaccinated. And it is called so because this place was visited by a delegation from different countries of the world. Such a kind of symbol of unity of peoples on the same tree. And the garden around the tree is very beautiful. It works daily from 9:00 to 17:00.
Waterpark Mayak . It is here that you can get a dose of adrenaline: a lot of slurners, both low and high, pirate ship, cafe, snack bars. All that needs both children and adults. The cost of the entrance is 700 rubles and 350 - children, it works from 10:00 to 18:00.
I highly recommend walking to Tower big ahun. After all, there are such picturesque views ... But you can also by car. The tower, thirty-meter high, was erected in 1936. From the top platform, an incredible view opens: the Black Sea, the city, rocks itself, the peaks of the mountains.
Sochi aquarium . It is probably the most incredible thing that I saw in Sochi. Here and sharks, and clown fish, and even sea seals and penguins. The greatest impression remains if you get to the feeding penguins directly from the hands of the aquarium staff. The entrance will be worth 200 rubles for adults, and for children from three years - 50 rubles.
Mazestinskaya Valley . It seems to me that in the autumn there is especially beautiful. There are many plants listed in the Red Book. Polyana Dwarfs - Main Sightseeing of the Valley: There are eight figures from a fairy tale about Snow White. There are no shops here, so take care of provisions.
In Adler in the resort town is located Dolphinarium . View here last about forty minutes. After the presentation, you can take pictures with animals. Tickets to take better in a couple of days at the checkout. It will cost it about 250 rubles.
Nearby location Waterpark Amphibius . I was not, because I visited this another water park. Enraged adrenaline for me.
I hate monkeys, but a girlfriend dragged me in Apery. There are so many kinds that eyes are running. The smell and screams are naturally unbearable. Animals can be fed. In general, a place for an amateur.
Sochi Art Museum . Here I went with great pleasure than in the nursery to monkeys. Here are the exhibitions of artists, and there is also an exposition with the works of Shishkin, Aivazovsky, Serov, and others. I am very advised to visit.
But, in addition to all of the above, there are all sorts of waterfalls, rocks, groves that I just did not have enough time. But be sure to look at them next time.
The city was very transformed after the construction of the Olympic facilities. I advise you to come and see until all this beauty has turned into ruins.
