The Sochi Sea Terminal is not geographically, but conceptually, the central point of the city. From here you can go on a boat trip with fishing, and it is also an excellent place for hiking in the shade of palm trees, cedar trees and a cherry orchard.
The Marine Station building was built in 1955 and is similar to the Main Admiralty building located on the banks of the Neva River.
One of the scenes of the popular Soviet film “The Diamond Arm” was filmed on the pier of the Marine Station. The sculptural group of the Gorbunkov family is located next to the port.
Not far from the port is the Sochi lighthouse. Its light is visible in the sea at a distance of 32 kilometers. The Sochi lighthouse has been helping sailors stay on the right course for almost 125 years - since 1890!
The Olympic Park was built completely from scratch. Previously, in its place there were swamps and vegetable gardens of local residents, and there is a cemetery nearby. The swamps were drained, the gardeners were given compensation (quite good compensation), and the cemetery remained in the neighborhood.
During the Olympics, competitions in figure skating, speed skating, hockey, short track speed skating, and curling were held here. The park hosted the grand opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, which were watched by the whole world. Nowadays, such exciting events as Formula 1, star performances, football matches and hockey tournaments take place here.
But even those who are not particularly interested in sporting events and the Olympic past still have something to see in the Olympic Park - this is a grandiose light and music show of fountains. There are also several museums on the territory of the complex, you can drive a racing car, play curling, go-karting or ice skating.
From here you can see the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus Mountains, the Black Sea, Abkhazia and even the Turkish coast. The word “Akhun” translated from the Abkhaz language means “hill” or “hill”. In 1936, Joseph Stalin climbed the mountain and admired its beauty. Then he ordered to improve this place: to build a road to Akhun and an observation tower. The road to the Akhun Tower was built by Gulag prisoners in 117 days.
The Ordzhonikidze Sanatorium, opened in 1937, was once one of the most grandiose sanatoriums in the city. The feature film “Old Man Hottabych” was filmed here. In 2016, the sanatorium opened its doors to visitors for the last time, and then was closed and abandoned. The amount required for reconstruction was estimated at approximately 22 billion rubles, so the complex is still being restored.

The gods were angry with the girl for this and turned her into a river. This is how three Agur waterfalls were formed, to which we will go down from the mountain.

Legend says that in these places there lived a giant who did not like people and disturbed them in every possible way. One day a guy named Gooch, heir to the Mugu family, placed barrels where the giant liked to pass, and when the big man approached the barrels, a swarm of wild bees flew at him. The giant ran 33 steps up, so much so that steps appeared from his heavy feet in the mountain, and at the top stood Gooch with a sword and struck him down with one blow. The giant fell and broke the rock, and a stream ran from the crack, rushing down 33 steps.
The total duration of the walk along the waterfalls is 600-1000 meters.
Several years ago, a tree was struck by lightning and split it into two parts. To save the local landmark, the tree was tied with chains and the crack was covered with cement. This is how the tree still stands. According to legend, if you press your back against a tree and stand for a few minutes, you can receive a piece of the tree’s energy, which will protect you from troubles and illnesses, and if you hit a coin in the hollow of a tree, your wish will definitely come true;
In the language of the Caucasian peoples, the cave was called Dzhanym, which means “Spirit”. According to one version, in ancient times women who were suspected of witchcraft were walled up in these walls. The cave is flooded, the depth of the flood varies from 15 cm to 115 cm. You will be given boots at the entrance, and some areas can only be overcome by boat.

The main trees of the park are berry yews (they have berries instead of cones). The height of some yew trees is up to 30 meters, and their age is up to 2,000 years! The tree is extremely poisonous. The lethal dose for humans is about 100 grams. needles Since ancient times, the yew was considered the tree of death. Thus, the Furies were depicted with torches made of yew branches. Poisoned arrows were made using the tree extract. Pliny the Elder described cases of death of people who drank wine from yew goblets. In total, there are more than 200 plant species in the grove.
The Vorontsov system ranks 5th among the longest caves in Russia, almost 12 km, but tourists have access to a route of only 600 m. The route passes through the halls and galleries of the cave.

The caves contain a large amount of marine sediments - they have been here since the time of the ancient Tethys Ocean. Scientists believe that the caves were formed 70-90 million years ago. Around the same years, tyrannosaurs and velociraptors appeared (and became extinct). The temperature in the caves is around +12 °C all year round.

In Soviet times, it was very popular among vacationers. First of all, it attracted with its exquisite architecture, picturesque surroundings and varied menu. Nikita Khrushchev’s landmark meeting with Yugoslav President Joseph Broz Tito took place here. The restaurant tables were forever empty after a terrible fire in which people died. To this day, no one has undertaken to restore the building with columns. Some claim that the crackling of flaming wooden floors and the groans of people can still be heard.
There is another mystical story. Every local resident has heard, and some have even seen, the ghost of the dead bride, who has been living on Mount Akhun for 20 years. Amateur videos and photos are circulating on the Internet, showing the translucent silhouette of a girl. In photographs, she most often stands by the side of the road, at the fork towards the tower. They say that any driver who stopped out of curiosity disappeared forever along with the car. By the way, the ghost of the bride appeared on Akhun after a real car accident in 2000 involving a wedding procession. Then the groom survived, but his young lover died. Wedding escorts on Mount Akhun are not uncommon even now. Psychics believe that this place is a portal to the other world.
The mansion was built in 1906 thanks to Andrei Kvitko’s wife, Italian Vera Martynova, who wanted to have a castle in Russia, like in her homeland.
Kvitko loved this house very much. Famous personalities regularly visited here, including Fyodor Chaliapin, singer Nadezhda Plevitskaya and perhaps even Comrade Stalin himself.
But already in 1917, after the revolution, the owners were forced to leave the house in a hurry. It is believed that Kvitko hid most of the valuable things in the house, walled up in the walls. Perhaps the treasures were hidden in the basement. However, no one has yet found the entrance to the basement!
Like all other dachas in the area, Kvitko's house was nationalized. At first there was a children’s labor colony here, then the “Red Storm” sanatorium (the name is in memory of the events of the Civil War, when 4 White Guard officers were shot here, who were buried right there and still guard the building), and then the security officers chose the place. One day, such a tipsy group raped and killed a girl, the daughter of one of the employees. Her mother avenged her, and then she committed suicide. After this terrible story, vacationers began to often meet ghosts there: a man in uniform, a woman and a thin girl in white. (The funeral service for the innocent murdered Varvara from the “Red Storm” is confirmed by old church records).
During the war, the building housed a military hospital, and then the house was converted into a children's sanatorium, but the pioneers were afraid of this place. As a result, Kvitko’s dacha fell into disrepair and was looted.
They say that in the 90s Alla Pugacheva became interested in the castle, but after walking around the house, she felt bad and refused to buy it.
For almost 30 years, Kvitko’s dacha has been empty... although is this really so?!
Now Kvitko's dacha is under reconstruction, entry to tourists is closed! But for our guests we offer a unique excursion! If you are not afraid, you can visit the dacha at night. Then you are guaranteed to encounter mystical phenomena...
Mystics betray religious objects to the forest park. For example, a huge tree is a symbol of fertility. Or a sacrificial stone - the same age as the Egyptian pyramids. There are two places carved on the stone - a throne, apparently for the priests, and a victim's bed on top with grooves for blood drainage. Unique plant species from all over the world grow on the 20-hectare park. The basis of the park is the only cork oak plantations in Russia. Wine and champagne corks were previously grown here on an industrial scale. At the very beginning of the route there is a lake where you can organize a picnic and go fishing. Route length: 2 km.
The school for troubled teenagers was opened in 1979 and consisted of two buildings: the first housed lessons, the second housed an assembly hall, a dining room, and workshops. Also on the territory there are dormitories, a gym and playgrounds, which are still in operation. On October 13, 2008, the educational building of the boarding school was closed. Children were transferred to other schools and teachers were fired. From that moment on, the school was empty.
Before the revolution, here was the dacha of Bakhrushin, the famous Moscow philanthropist. Then it, like many other things in Sochi, was converted into the “Red Shooter” sanatorium, and, finally, the dacha became one of the buildings of the “Caucasus” sanatorium. During the war, there was a hospital in the building. The fate after the collapse of the USSR was sad - the building needed repairs and was abandoned, like the adjacent park, preserved from pre-revolutionary times. Now the building is up for sale for 22 million rubles. The price is relatively low for this place. But they say that the ghosts living here are doing their best to prevent any attempts to purchase the sanatorium.
