💡 Tips

  • Take the 'Lastochka' train from Mamaika station to bypass Sochi's heavy road traffic.
  • Keep in mind that while the beachfront area is flat, the streets further inland can be very steep.
  • Visit in September ('Velvet Season') for warm water temperatures and fewer crowds.
  • Walk along the Psakhe River embankment for a scenic and direct route to the sea.
  • Look for small stalls selling seasonal local fruits like figs or medlar along the main streets.
