💡 Tips

The pebble beaches can be hard on the feet, so be sure to bring water shoes for swimming.
Trains run frequently along the coast; use them for easy, traffic-free day trips to Sochi.
Look for small local canteens (stolovayas) for budget-friendly, homemade hot meals.
Summer evenings can be quite humid, so pack light, breathable clothing.
If taking a taxi, negotiate the fare beforehand or use a local ride-hailing app.
