The biggest resort town on what’s called the “Russian Riviera,” Sochi is preparing to step onto
the world stage as the host of the 2014 Winter Olympics. Somewhat ironically, Sochi is really
quite temperate for most of the year, with its Black Sea waters warm and swimmable well into
October. The Arboretum and Riviera Park are among the city’s most popular destinations.
Serving as a beautiful backdrop for Sochi are the Caucasus Mountains, home to the nearby snow
skiing resort of Krasnaya Polyana.
Where Sochi, Russia – And what is is it Like?
Sochi (pronounced SEW-chee) is located in the southwestern most corner of Russia, just above
Georgia and across the Black Sea from Turkey. Despite winning the right to host the winter
games, Sochi was previously best known as a summer resort: its palm tree-lined streets and
subtropical climate added to its allure as part of the Russian Riviera.
However, the nearby Caucacus Mountains offer plenty of room for skiing and other contests,
although until recently, there were precious few facilities for winter sports. That’s changing
rapidly – according to media reports, the government and private donors have already poured
more than $50 billion into remaking Sochi as an Olympic-class venue. In addition to creating
brand new skiing and skating facilities, the money will be used to improve roads, build new ones
and create a rail line.
How Do I Get To Sochi
Sochi can be most easily accessed by air. The Sochi International Airport serves Sochi, and
flights from the United States will take visitors through Moscow first. From Moscow, the flight
to Sochi is about 2- 2.5 hours.
Trains also run a regular service to Sochi from Moscow. The ride is approximately 30 hours.
While a ferry is available from Trabzon, Turkey, the ferry is not a recommended connection
method in the winter because the sea can be rougher during this time than it is during the usual
peak travel season from May to August.
