Why should you choose Sochi for your vacation?
Sochi needs no recommendations. People come here in the summer to enjoy the sea, warming up to 28 degrees Celsius, and clean air, filled with the aromas of exotic flowers, to get an even tan and just gain strength. Sochi is not empty even in the off-season, when it is so pleasant to stroll along the beautiful embankment, enjoying the light sea breeze and comfortable weather. In winter, ski lovers stay in Sochi. After all, from here it is a stone's throw to the ski slopes with perfect snow cover.
