Krasnaya Polyana is the most famous Russian ski resort
But many other villages and settlements are ready to greet tourists with bread and salt: Kazachy Brod, Moldovka, Veseloye, Kepsba, Galitsino – the list goes on. Not far from Sochi, just over twenty kilometers away, and very close to Khosta (only eight kilometers), the sanatoriums of Adler offer their services, using local therapeutic muds and local mineral waters for treatment.
Adler is also known for its airport. It is here that airliners land daily with dozens of people wishing to vacation on the Sochi coast. There is also a railway station. Dozens of buses deliver newly arrived tourists to hotels and sanatoriums of Sochi and Adler.
Overall, a vacation in Adler is quite cheap. Mostly small private hotels operate here. But even comfort lovers, who do not want to deny themselves their usual luxury even on vacation, will find a place to stay. Their options include elite hotels and well-equipped sanatoriums of Adler.
Adler District is not only the purest golden sand of beaches, the lush greenery of gardens and parks – it offers its guests various options for leisure. Concert halls, restaurants, water parks, and a dolphinarium – children and adults will find entertainment for every taste here.
Curious tourists are offered many fascinating excursions. For example, a trip to the Akhshtyrskaya Cave. Its entrance is located on the right bank of the Mzymta, on the way to Krasnaya Polyana. Scientists have found there settlements of primitive people and bones of extinct animals.
By the way, the valley of the same Mzymta is simply a paradise for climbers. Moreover, both beginners and experienced veterans can train here.
Lovers of nature and art will be interested in visiting the park 'Yuzhnye Kultury' (Southern Cultures). In this picturesque spot at the end of the 19th century, the talented garden engineer A.E. Regel collected the most bizarre and amazing trees and shrubs, placing various architectural forms used in gardens and parks among them. His collection has been continuously expanding ever since and already numbers several thousand species.
Both youth who love lively crowded parties and fun energetic pastimes, and families with children who value peace and safety – in Adler, this resort district of Sochi, there is a place for everyone.
