With this summer, my family and friends have perfectly rested at sea in Adler. To all skeptics I will say right away: last 10 years we rested exclusively in Europe - in Greece, in Italy, 2 times in Barcelona and 6 times in Turkey. This year we decided to go to Adler not from financial considerations, but because the daughter took part in the competition held in Lazarevsky. And, frankly, I am very glad that we saw our updated resort, changing after the Olympics beyond recognition.
Sea
The water in the Black Sea, of course, is cooler than in the Mediterranean, but for the second week of June the temperature in the sea was quite comfortable + 23, and then + 24 degrees. The sea cheerled and refreshed that after the heat was very nice. Water in the morning clean, calm, after lunch - light excitement, noticeable waves were once or twice.
Beach
Adler's beaches are equipped with canopies and sun beds. Places under the canopy, of course, paid, as in Europe, but prices are much lower. Significantly cheaper and beach entertainment - water bike, banana riding, parachute. The beach is clean, remove it regularly, we did not notice much differences from the beaches of Turkey. Now on the beaches of Adler there are cute cabins for dressing up, and shower, and cranes for washing feet from small pebbles. Constantly walk merchants with fruit in cream and delicious tubes. Photographers with monkeys and lizards are rather obsessive, but to the Turks them far.
Olympic facilities
Just super, here you can go through a roller or bicycle for free, to watch the chic show fountains in the evening. Nearby - Karting and Sochi Park with a bunch of rides, sandy sculptures and other joys for children and adults. The attraction "quantum leap" in terms of adrenaline can compete with the most attractions of the port of adventure!
The mountains
Rose Farm is an unforgettable impression of lifting on a comfortable funicular and from breathtaking beauty from a height of more than 2 kilometers. Snow and blooming plants nearby - where else will you see this?! Here are very cozy and inexpensive restaurants, a delicious complex lunch in just 350 rubles. Portions such that only our hungry men could cope with them, and my daughter and I took one dinner for two. At the foot of the mountain - the ski resort in architecture and the location very much reminded me of Karlovy Vary.
Service
Excellent, bunch of hotels, cafes, restaurants. Everywhere smiling staff, delicious kitchen. We were in June, no longer considered a high season and prices were very low. The established movement of public transport, buses with air conditioning. By the way, the roads are excellent, you can safely go to Adler by car, everywhere the chic tracks of the European level (in any case - for now)
We stayed very satisfied with our Russian rest. I think we will come here. Boldly I can recommend Adler to all his friends
