A subtropical seaside city on the Black Sea's east coast — palm-lined and mild, Russia's year-round favorite resort.

📍 Destination Overview

Sochi, on the Black Sea's eastern coast at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains, is one of Russia's rare subtropical seaside cities—warm, palm-lined and beloved as a resort. Pebble beaches line the sea, crowded in summer; a Winter Olympics host, its Olympic Park is a landmark while Krasnaya Polyana offers skiing. Combining seaside and mountains, Sochi is pleasant year-round.
