Sochi: The Seaside Resort by the Black Sea

Sochi’s coastline stretches over 100 miles and is dotted with sandy beaches tucked between rocky outcroppings and rolling hills. The warm, clear waters offer prime swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving conditions. Beachgoers can choose between lively, activity-filled resorts or quiet coves for a more secluded experience.
Inland from the coast, Sochi’s landscape is blanketed in lush, subtropical forests and crisscrossed by rapid rivers flowing down from the mountains.

In addition to its wealth of natural beauty, Sochi also boasts a number of fascinating cultural, historical and sporting attractions for visitors to discover.
As a popular 19th century aristocratic resort, Sochi is home to many well-preserved imperial Russian estates, parks, and orthodox churches. Notable sites include the Vorontsov Palace, the winter residence of a prominent governor, and the Friendship Tree Park, commemorating Soviet-era international relations.
As host of the 2014 Winter Olympics, Sochi offers tours of its world-class sporting facilities like the Fisht Olympic Stadium, skating arena, ski jumps, and the Olympic village. These sites provide a fascinating look into Russia’s recent history.
