Sochi is the largest Black Sea Resort of Russia. He is the best city on the Russian coast of the Black Sea. Why best? Because it is here that the conditions for resting tourists with various preferences and on any wallet are created.
Weather in Sochi
The weather is usually characterized by hot summer, warm spring and autumn, cool in winter. The spa season in Sochi begins with May and ends in September. The hottest months are July and August, they will also become the most expensive for living. The sea rolled over the summer period remains warm also in October, and separate crisps are ready to swim even in mid-November.Beach
Why tourists go to Sochi? Of course, swimming and sunbathing. The sea is not too clean here. In addition to the garbage left by resting on the beach or thrown from boats and ships, during the surf to the shore brings the sea algae wave. Well, what to do with it, if we ourselves are ready to litter there, where we rest, then the claims are not to prevent anyone, except for our still "vigorous" people.
Most city beaches are pebble. It is not very convenient to lie on towels, therefore it is preferable to equip your place by a sun bed and an umbrella. True, you will have to pay for their rent. You can save by purchasing a firm rug or inflatable mattress. The entrance to the beach itself is in most cases free. Although there are specially equipped with all necessary paid beaches. Just so they do not fall on them, because they are fenced and the "controller" will meet you at the entrance.
Who rides in Sochi
As for the number of people, then in the season (in the summer months) there are a lot of them here. Contingent different - and families with young children, and couples in love, and big companies of friends, and pensioners. Moreover, everyone finds pleasure here. But if you go to Sochi a young girl alone, then she is better not to walk on the dark streets at night. Many Caucasians live here, and as you know, Caucasian men are temperamental people. I think a decent girl can even become scary from the head of some workers.Accommodation
Resting in Sochi, you can choose any type of housing. Here there are expensive comfortable hotels with the "All Inclusive" system, and private mini-cost, and apartments or rooms that local residents are delivered. You can even put a tent somewhere on the outskirts of the city near the sea or spend the night in your car. The most common way of accommodation has been left for the private sector over long years. You can rent accommodation in the center of the city and on the outskirts, in a frequent house or apartment, live with owners or one, with amenities or minimal set in the form of a bed, on the seashore or away from it. From all these conditions (plus add owners' requests) and will depend on the issue price. Delivery by individuals by private housing for rent over time was transformed into the construction of private mini. They are described, as a rule, comfortable living conditions and do not include food in the price, unlike large hotels and hotel complexes.
Entertainment
Unlike many other small towns and villages located on the Black Sea coast, the Sochi presents an extensive entertainment program. Beautiful embankment with many cafes and shops, souvenir shopping tents, tourist manitis by beaches during the day and lights and incendiary music in the evening. It is always crowded here, noisy and fun. You can go into one of the local cafes and it is pleasant to sit, enjoying the pleasant sounds of live music, you can go into karaoke and sing yourself. If the soul asks for fun, and the legs are rushing to the dance, the discos in clubs and on open dancers are opened here. If this time is not suitable for you, you can just stroll along the sea.
Sochi offers its guests a lot of different entertainment for different categories of citizens - therapeutic and relaxing massage, water park, boat boats, amusement park, concerts of famous singers and humorists, water entertainment (scooter skating, on banana or cheese), sea fishing, arboretum , Dolphinarium and others.
Everything is worth a rather big money. But the resort is designed for the fact that people go to spend here.
One of the favorite places of tourists is the Park "Riviera". Here you can relax with children, ride attractions, make some funny instant photos. You can simply sit on the bench and shadow in a secluded corner and read the book. Here are the street artists, ready to draw your portrait or ironic cartoon here.
Food
You can eat in Sochi too differently. Someone prefers local cafes and restaurants where very tasty vegetables, fish and grilled meat are preparing. Fans of Caucasian cuisine here will be how to please yourself - ranging from Sup-Kharcho and ending with Honey Pahlava. But with local wines should be careful, not all of them are really natural, as you will assure the seller.Excursions
From Sochi, various excursions are organized. These are trips to the mountains, on the Red Polyana, swimming in the open sea, etc. They can be purchased from local organizers of such excursions. Most likely, you will be offered a collective trip to a miniwette or a boat with a guide. You can visit very beautiful places and see what this edge lives.
After the Olympiad
In connection with the winter Olympics held in Sochi this year, most likely the city was transformed, new buildings and structures appeared, of course, first of all, sports destination. I have a holiday in Sochi three times and all the time until 2014. Friends went to the Olympics, I really liked everything. They also had something to compare, and before they rested in Sochi. But winter holiday is radically different from the summer, especially during a period of such a large-scale event, as the Olympiad, so a comparative analysis of the city "to" and "after" to do early. I hope at least the transport infrastructure has now improved. Because to the Olympics in the city there were huge traffic jams, a large flow of cars not only local, but also from many regions of the country.
All Russians recommend at least once to come to this resort.
