In late April, my husband was a silver wedding anniversary. And now our kids gave us vouchers for holidays in May, a week in the Olympic-Dagomys. We were extremely happy. Ourselves we would hardly afford it. And here we are just fait accompli trip. We have arranged a second honeymoon! Who knows, it is located near Sochi in the village. Dagomys (maximum 10-ty minutes’ drive from downtown) Autovermietung Dresden.
By the way, just about transport, taxis go every five minutes, so it does not necessarily rush to taxis, which charge an exorbitant price is 10-20 times more, hoping for rich tourists. And I can say is: wonderful guest house. We jokingly call “our shaybochka.
By rounded shape of the building. This, of course, not new-fangled hotel is felt in every raid Soviet hotels. But our junior suite was very even worse: two beds with bedside tables, wardrobe, chairs, folding table, tarsher, two lights, TV and telephone. The price also includes 2 meals a day (we chose for breakfast and dinner, not to limit yourself to walk in Sochi during the day), banquet and down the elevator to the sea.
Yet we are very lucky and we got a room overlooking the sea. Around boarding park, where the shady alleys of the evening you can walk and breathe fresh sea air. Here in this area are many restaurants (but since the May season is not open, most of them are still closed). Near the body, according to rumors, a very good pub restaurant, but he too has not worked in this time of year. And indeed throughout our “Olympic-Dagomys” not so many people and it was (we had to identify the restaurant where we were fed).
About food, of course, it would be noted separately. Not too, of course, exquisitely, I would say a regular table, but the rich, nutritious and very just in a lot. So if you’re trying to lose weight, you are unlikely to enjoy. Who was the spring in Sochi, he will understand me. This extraordinary beautiful surroundings. Exude an unusual smell. Blossoms many subtropical plants, most of which we do not even know the names. But we just could determine a flowering palm. Amazing smell bright yellow bunches of them.
On May 1 we had a wonderful dinner with a festive program. We were fed and entertained from the heart. It was really fun and a wonderful sense of celebration prevailed. Perhaps it was this event all closer together, and throughout their stay in a boarding house would not let a feeling of home furnishing and heat around. In the “Olympic-Dagomys” very friendly and helpful staff will always try and ready to help. In the guest house we spent enough time, but, of course, our program were the main sights of Sochi.
You must agree, it would be foolish to spend all the time in the room, even an excellent, comfortable and overlooking the sea, when the window is so beautiful boom town! Of course, we went around all the tourist mecca of this resort town. Especially because the people in this time of year is not so much as in high season. Of course, arboretum, with its exotic for us and the ordinary for him (the park) plants. The only slight negative in the absence of people is something that has not worked funicular.
Sochi park “Riviera”. New, refurbished – refurbished this year. This freedom for fans to relax and loving rides. I do not know how it was here before, but now the park looks just fine: exotic and not plants, all sorts of roundabouts, small open-air cafes and, of course, the ubiquitous new tile track. Yes, in addition, 1 May in Sochi – the Day of the city. So we still got to show the new stars of our platform.
The only thing that struck the city, this poor animals on almost every street corner, which operate by providing a photo with them. Monkeys, crocodiles, owls, eagles, lizards, snakes – who just do not. Pathetic and tortured, uncomplaining slaves to their masters. From Seaport we sailed on the ship along the coast. Few, however, were frozen on the upper deck. Incidentally, in Sochi privelikoe many cafes and restaurants are not very expensive. So hungry you there will not be able to stay.
But our main discovery of this trip was the yew-tree grove. We almost nothing about her had not heard before, so were very surprised what they see. It is in Khostinsky region (this is in the opposite direction from Dagomys) from Sochi train station 20 minutes’ drive-ty. And then still the same, may be a bit more walking. But this “eternal” uphill compensates for what is revealed later in front of us. Centuries-old, huge trees. Yew and boxwood, we even could not imagine that these, as we thought, “urban bushes” are of such magnitude. Fresh air, from which the head is spinning and the smell of centuries-old history of the development of all living things. So wonderful to walk the walk and know that here these neobhvatnogo diameter, several tens of meters high trees the same age of dinosaurs. Yew-tree grove (while we call it a forest, which is more suitable to the scale and the absence of people (not season)) consists of a single track for several kilometers with periodically spaced benches and urns. So, if you do not stay the route, you will not get lost (!)
We liked this place so that during our stay, we went there a few times. A feeling of oneness with nature – with nothing comparable! Still we went on a tour to Mount Ahun. Amazing observation deck on the tower on it. Grandiose views! On the one hand – the coast with many beaches and hotels, with the arc side of the mountain foothills to the settlement, and above all-star cast! And at the bottom of the tower a beautiful stylized restaurant: stone walls, oak tables, with animal skins on the benches and walls, stone oven in the corner for cooking and shade. Feel no less than some medieval prince. An unforgettable experience.
