God bless our country...
Under tender shining sun situated main all russians loving resort Sochi and Adler. Full of romantic and hungry gain extremely tourists attentive seaside shore..
Nearest rocky mountains describes sites of wild living nature. Local sunset/rises will never live anyone uninspired.
As for myself, Sochi got alive in my heart allknown for russians slogans “every respectable sitizen must once rest in this resort” and “Sochi doesn`t famous for it`s lights, but extremely known for it`s dark nights”. So it`s allknown, that it`s heartbrake area till now...
By the way Sochi and Adler roomy and seems like could accommodate one third part of all country, attracts just named call of heart.
Seaside full of hotels, hostels, sanatorias, dispensaries, boarding houses and rest houses. Private guest houses create a fair competition for this giants of the tourism industry. Often the respectability of the rest is determined by the price tag of beeng in it. For a day of stay, guests are offered to pay from 1 to 5 thousand rubles, while the cheapest option, of course, offers to forget about a comfortable stay.
Food is varied in local eateries and canteens, of which at every corner a lot, with the average amount of a check 500-1000 rub. for a satisfactory meal. There are many fast food places, with risky for use and unnormal expensive monotonous products. In the evenings, cafes and restaurants are buzzing, the prices of which are mostly acceptable.
In common opinion, the children's resort is Anapa, which I now ready to argue. In comparison with Sochi, Anapa in the organization of children's recreation significantly retreats. Accordingly, a large category of touristsin Sochi-couples/mothers with children. Young people, surprisingly, in the minority.
Accordingly, littered with half-naked humanized sea seals, interspersed with frisky kids-an ordinary view of the beaches of Sochi-Adler. The beach is pebbles, but in general it is convenient for swimming.
Touches the local population, which is extremely greedy for money. Local colorful "macho" trying to" knock down " the maximum on the tourist flow. Sochi-Adler is filled with Caucasian-Armenian contingent, which considers light-skinned rusaks in the majority simply "money bags", well, solvent guests at last.
Sberbank online you can pay even Shawarma in the markets, and Bank terminals are available in each "lump". At the same time, the quality of services often lags behind modern payment methods. Local Eastern markets are open to everyone, but a quality and safe product has yet to be searched.
Prices for a trip to a taxi are expensive and practically do not fall. In help to the tourist the official carriers with the order by phone. For example a 5 km path different taxi asked for 250-400 rubles, and the official carrier drove over 150 rub. To the comment about expensive taxi colorful local Caucasian carriers difficult to restrain from rudeness, just offering them as not to irritate!
By the way, there is always a choice of transport and on the main tourist routes there is public transport. For example, the road to Rosa Khutor public transport costs 80 rubles, 350 rubles by train, by taxi 1-1,6 thousand rub. By the way, mountainous terrain and narrow streets can be cause of jams, what is better don`t forget when you transfer to the airport.
Our accommodation in a comfortable cottage of friends left an extremely positive impression. At the same time, I had a chance to live in the "guest house". In Adler, near the railway station we lived in the room 7-8 sq. m. with a bathroom cost of one day is 1 thousand rubles. Near the place of residence was always a canteen-catering with an average check of 150-200 rubles for 1 empty stomach.
So, we lived at the mountain top with a stunning view of the newly built Olympic Park.
One of the goals of the voyage was to contemplate the construction of the century, built by the forces of the whole country Olympic facilities. The enormity of the built is impressive. The Fisht Olympic stadium, Ice arena "Puck", a cycle track, railway stations and interchanges are striking in their magnitude. Well-maintained and smooth roads do not give reasons for discontent. By the way, a few years ago a swamp was simply placed on the site of the construction of this Olympic Park.
Still smelling of the Soviet Union “Krasnaya gorka” was transformed into a modern ski resort. “Imretinsraya” seashore promenade dressed in modern track and recreation areas.
"Construction of the century" was successful!
It should be recognized that the necessary feature of all this splendor — accessibility for everyone! For example, comfortable beaches and recreation areas, sports grounds of hotels attention - open to all for free!
Olympic attributes are on sale everywhere, figures of Olympic mascots (bear, tiger, hare), Olympic rings are available for photo shoots. The novelty for the guests of Adler singing fountains in the Olympic Park, where the open dance floor in the dance as hot people and water. Only the monotony of the musical repertoire was confusing.
Himself an old Sochi its tidiness and efficiency reminiscent of "little Switzerland". Improvement of the city, of course, is impressive and leaves positive memories.
The old promenade, the seaport cast all the colors of luxury life. The luxury private ships moored in the Harbor give the understanding that" money is in the country "and"the people are holding"!
Children's Park "Riviera" impresses with its variety of attractions and democratic prices. Children's day pass is only 700 rubles, so the young offspring traveling all to dizziness...
It should be noted the good organization of transport links both in Sochi and in Adler. Public transport is available in all areas of the resort and runs according to the schedule available via the Internet.
And although for the whole trip to Sochi-Adler heard only one carrier of English, but " welcome to all the Russian resort of Sochi!"
