Сentral Sochi & Adler Imiritinskaya Dolina (Valley) beach resorts

Sochi beach resort is located on the Black Sea with a coastline of 40 kilometers. The beaches in Sochi are pebbly and quite narrow. We recommend the Central part of Sochi for recreation. Here you can see all the natural beauty of the city – large branchy palm trees, cacti, many parks and dark alleys.

Visit the Dendrarium Park, which is considered the best in the country. There are more than 2,000 relict trees from different countries of the world, wonderful magnolias, giant eucalyptus trees. Here, in spring, the cherry blossoms shine divinely.

In another resort part of Sochi in Adler, located closer to the airport, is the Imiritinskaya Dolina (Valley), where the Winter Olympic Games were held in 2014. Now this area is fully developed as a tourist area. Here, in addition to the Olympic stadium and other sports facilities, there are many hotels of different levels, a huge amusement park and a beautiful promenade promenade 7 km along the pebble beach of the Black Sea.

Three summer months, especially August, are the highest tourist season in Sochi. During this period, hotels increase their prices by up to +50%. You can already swim in the Black sea from the end of May. In September and October, Sochi has the “Velvet Season”: it is not so hot anymore, +20+22, and the Black sea is still warm.
