💡 Tips
- Watch the Singing Fountain light show in the Olympic Park, which usually starts around 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM.
- Rent an electric scooter or bicycle to get around, as the distances within the Olympic Park are very large.
- Use the 'Lastochka' express train to quickly reach central Sochi or the mountain resorts of Krasnaya Polyana.
- Buy 'aqua shoes' at a local stall; the beaches are very pebbly and getting in the water can be tricky without them.
- Check the schedule of the Sirius Science and Art Park for world-class classical music concerts and lectures.
🍽 Food
Fried Black Sea goatfish is the most famous local snack, usually served whole and very crispy.
Georgian-style dumplings are a local staple; try them 'fried' (zharennye) for a popular regional twist.
A traditional sweet made of nuts dipped in thickened grape juice, best bought at local food markets.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
The go-to place for spices, mountain honey, and local cheeses. Vendors always expect you to sample before buying.
An open-air shopping complex near the beach with a mix of brands and great terrace dining.
A free, quiet natural area with ponds and trails, great for a peaceful escape from the crowds.
