(Translated by Google) The service is amazing. VIP number. 8 thousand per day. It's hot, like in a bathhouse. Stinks of sewage and mold. We listened to our neighbors having sex all evening, it was as if we were in the same bed with them.
The phone number listed on the website and in the booklet does not work. The second number does not answer. On the third they called, they said they would solve the problem and then ignore and silence. So no one answered. Impressive, very interesting, for 8 thousand it’s absolutely amazing. I recommend to everyone. One plus is that the room is clean. Well, the food in the restaurant is normal.

(Translated by Google) We walked to the sail with a 6-year-old child; in some places it was a little difficult to get through, but it was worth it. We were there in early May, the water was icy and rose, so we got there over the rocks. Everyone was happy. I recommend visiting this place for anyone who likes to walk a lot and climb rocks and stones.

Шли к парусу с ребенком 6 лет, в некоторых местах сложновато было пройти, но это того стоило. Были в начале мая, вода ледяная и поднялась, поэтому доберались по скалам. Все остались довольны. Кто любит много ходить и лазить по камням и скалам рекомендую к посещению.

(Translated by Google) The Parus rock is located 17 km southeast of Gelendzhik, 500 meters from the beach of the village of Praskoveevka. The passage to the rock itself goes along the steep slope of the coastline.
On November 24, 1971, the rock received the status of a category 3 natural monument. The care and protection of it is entrusted to the Divnomorsky rural district.
The rock is a vertical remnant standing on the seashore, which is separated from the main rock mass by a failure. Its shape resembles the outline of a quadrangular sail, which is how it got its name. The thickness of the rock is a little more than a meter, the height is more than 25 meters, and the length is more than 20. Moreover, more than three-quarters of it protrudes into the sea perpendicular to the shore. At a height of 2.5 meters there is a hole, the origin of which is unknown for certain, so there are various legends and versions about this among local residents.
Near the Parus rock you can find a small gap through which you can climb up into the pine forest.
The rock is popular among tourists. There are sea routes from various resort villages here. People come to admire this natural monument with their own eyes, swim in the waters of the Black Sea, and take interesting photographs.
(Original)
Скала "Парус" расположена в 17 км к юго-востоку от Геленджика, в 500 метрах от пляжа села Прасковеевка. Проход к самой скале идёт вдоль крутого спуска береговой линии.
24 ноября 1971 года скала получила статус памятника природа 3 категории. Уход и охрана за ним возложен за Дивноморским сельским округом.
Скала представляет собой вертикально стоящий на берегу моря останец, который отделён от основного скального массива провалом. По форме она напоминает очертания четырёхугольного паруса, благодаря чему и получила своё название. Толщина скалы составляет немногим более метра, высота более 25 метров, а длина — более 20. При этом она более чем на три четверти выдаётся в море перпендикулярно берегу. На высоте 2,5 метра имеется отверстие, происхождение которой доподлинно неизвестно, поэтому среди местных жителей ходят на этот счёт различные легенды и версии.
Рядом со скалой Парус можно обнаружить небольшую щель, по которой вы сможете подняться наверх в сосновый лес.
Среди туристов скала пользуется популярностью. Сюда проложены морские маршруты из разных курортных посёлков. Люди приезжают, чтобы воочию полюбоваться этим памятником природы, искупаться в водах Чёрного моря, сделать интересные фотоснимки.

(Translated by Google) The park was opened in 1975, on the 30th anniversary of the Victory. That’s why it’s called “Victory Park,” although not everyone remembers this. It is not very big, only 6 hectares. The variety of exotic vegetation is amazing: magnolias, cypresses, sequoias, palm trees, oleanders, Japanese acacias and ginkgo biloba, Caucasian lindens, rhododendrons. And, of course, many attractions and the largest Ferris wheel on the coast. As a reminder that this is Victory Park, there are several monuments to that war. The "Kamikaze" attraction looks interesting opposite the monument to the 236th Red Banner Lviv Fighter Aviation Division, which fought in these places...
(Original)
Парк открыли в 1975 году, к 30-летию Победы. Поэтому он и называется "Парк победы", хотя не все об этом помнят. Он не очень большой, всего 6 гектаров. Поражает разнообразие экзотической растительности: магнолии, кипарисы, секвойи, пальмы, олеандры, японские акации и гинкго билоба, кавказские липы, рододендроны. И, конечно, множество аттракционов и самое большое на побережье колесо обозрения. В напоминании о том, что это парк Победы, в нём стоят несколько памятников той войне. Любопытно смотрится аттракцион "Камикадзе" напротив памятника 236-й краснознаменной Львовской истребительной авиационной дивизии, воевавшей в этих местах...

My experience was just fine. It was easy to get a ticket (300p) and they helped explain I was only buying a one-way ticket to the top of the park. I appreciate those who will repeat themselves slowly in Russian so I have better chance catching a couple words. Good customer service! Once I made it to the top I found out I had to pay to walk back down (250p). No big deal on the price. It was well worth it.

Located at a lofty elevation in the Caucasus Mountains, trendy Krasnaya Polyana offers an array of ski resorts, such as Roza Khutor, which played host to various events during the 2014 Winter Olympics. The region boasts a diverse selection of contemporary eateries, après-ski watering holes, and fashionable taverns. Additionally, it serves as a sought-after destination for hiking enthusiasts with its abundance of nature trails that come alive during the summer season.
Gazprom ski resort offers a family-friendly environment with slopes catering to all abilities. Guests can enjoy scenic mountain views from the gondolas and night skiing is available. The resort also boasts various activities, including cross-country skiing - the only place in the area where this can be done. While Gazprom is considered to be the best ski resort in the area, lift H may require modernization, as it has been noted as one of the slowest lifts after Krokus.
Loved it! Great service, not crowded, all sorts of activities available. I believe it's the only place in this resort to practice cross-country skiing!

Very nice for beginners! Slopes are quite wide and not too flat to get bored, the view is beautiful. However, if you are advanced, it will definitely feel too easy here.
I personally just loved the night-skiing - you can ski until 11pm! Slopes are nicely lightened and everything looks so atmospheric 💫
Organization is still to be somewhat improved - queues in front of the lifts are usual thing and can take quite long!

Rude comments from the staff, some disrepectful remarks - those are the memories I'm gonna bring from this trip. Rip-off in terms of prices: 2000 RUB -ski pass for 1 day, 500 RUB parking fee ( for 1 hour), 200 RUB 1 hour for the storage of the staff in a locker, very high prices in restorants, 9000 RUB for 2 adults - 2 hour training with an instructor. That's not even worth it, there is no snow by 5th of January

Winter resort with neoclassical buildings lining a river, plus a gondola leading up to the ski area.
If you are lucky to go there on a sunny day in January, it will give a vibe of Himalayan. The temperature is comparatively low in altitude. So dress up yourself properly. The cable car experience is excellent. To do ski you have to reach there before 10:00am.

Generally feels like they could have done better with the resort... Some runs are fantastic, not too long but fun. Most of the other slopes are long and narrow, which is less fun. Lifts are OK but the Russians should learn more about queue management. We had two times where we waited 20-25 minutes, other waits were long too. If the site is crowded then you feel it well on the slopes. The good :excellent site for beginners, the area between slopes is very nice for the powder seekers. Bottom line - not the same as the alps but a nice alternative nevertheless.

Open-air stadium with 40,000 capacity, now used for training & matches for national soccer team.
Very nice stadium. The Football World Cup games are played here. Watching football match on TV (Spain Vs Portugal). Ground looks so go and spacious. What I read on their website is that It has approx 45,000 capacity.
Also, read somewhere in some websites-
First Olympic Stadium, Sochi’s biggest new sporting venue designed by sports architecture firm Populous. The building, named after a nearby mountain, features a latticed facade design based on faberge eggs and has a retractable roof.
Yesterday quarter final match between Russia and Croatia was played and Croatia won by 4-3 after the match went to penalty shoot out.

The host arena of 2018 world cup in Sochi. It was built and opened in 2014 a few days before the winter Olympics. Amazingly it was used only twice for the opening and closing ceremony of 2014 winter Olympics. It is named after the highest mountain in Krasnodar region.

This is a grand football stadium. We went to watch the Germany vs Sweden match during FIFA 2018 wc. The stadium has a formula 1 track adjacent to it and a railway station for easy commute. The path to the stadium is quite scenic with mountains in one direction and sea on the other. The atmosphere inside the stadium is electrifying.

In ancient times there was a valley and a river at the site of the modern lake. A girl named Ritsa lived there with three brothers Agepsta, Atsetuka and Pshegishkha. Ritsa used to pasture her animals in the valley and her brothers hunted in the high mountains by day and returned to the valley in the evening, where they ate, sang songs, and admired their sister.
Once the brothers went too far into the mountains. Ritsa missed them and sang. The forest robbers Gega and Iupshara heard her and decided to kidnap her. Iupshara caught her and rode down the valley, while Gega covered his flank. Ritsa's brothers heard her crying and came to the rescue.
Pshegishkha threw a sword at the robbers, but he missed and the sword flew over the river. The valley was filled with water and turned into a lake. Ritsa broke from Iupshara's grip, but fell into the lake. The brothers couldn't save her. Then Pshegishkha threw the robber Iupshara into the lake, but Ritsa's water wouldn't accept him and threw out him over Pshegishkha's sword and the water carried him away to the sea. Gega ran after Iupshara, but he didn't manage to rescue him.
Out of grief, the brothers turned into mountains, and today they are still standing here to protect the resting-place of Ritsa.

Quite crowded. Probably the most tourist-like place in Abchazia. You have to pay for entering the park.
The Palace of the Prince of Oldenburg is an exceptionally stunning and captivating destination. With its breathtaking architecture and intriguing history, this remarkable place enthralls visitors from all walks of life. The awe-inspiring beauty and fascinating characteristics make it a truly remarkable tourist attraction.
Very beautiful and interesting place.

Amazing building, I could easily give it 5 stars. It is a pity that this attraction just like most of Abkhazia is destroyed. Nevertheless someone has decided to close all entrances to the building but one, where he charges 150 rubles per visitor. Additionally someone took two rooms sealed them off and is living in there, probably the same crook from the entrance.

Ahmed Alanazi — Google review
January 2021. Not a lot of snow to ski, but this is not due to the service. The old lift is simply awful, slow and non convenient, and mostly, dangerous. The new one is ok, but definitely over crowded. To rent the skies is not hard, full of small places, missing an organized big one. 3 stars are only for the mountains, which are very beautiful. The rest, I suggest: with the same money, you can fly to Italy or France or Austria.

Sokhumi, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Abkhazia, is situated in a spacious bay on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. Despite being considered part of Georgia by most countries, it has been under the control of Abkhazia since the conflict in 1992-93. This coastal city offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty, making it an intriguing destination for travelers looking to explore off-the-beaten-path locations.

The museum offers an insight into the rich history of the palace and its surrounding area, making it a must-visit destination for any history enthusiast traveling through Georgia.

I really enjoyed my visit to the Dadiani Palace Museum in Zugdidi. The exhibits were really nice, but I think the instructions could have been better. It took me around 40 minutes to see everything, but I would still recommend visiting the museum.
The palace itself is a beautiful 19th-century building built in Neo-Gothic style by David Dadiani, who was a remarkable man and had connections to Napoleon and the Romanovs. The museum has a collection of interesting historical finds, including archaeological finds from Nokalakevi, icons, manuscripts, and relics. If you’re interested in history, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

In the green heart of Zugdidi, the capital of Mingrelia, stands the neo-Gothic palace that has been the residence of the powerful Dadiani family since the 17th century. The Dadianis had been the eristavi (dukes) since the 12th century and from 1542 the mtavari (princes) of Mingrelia (or Samegrelo). In 1840, Prince David I organized an archaeological exhibition in the palace, a harbinger of the future because in 1921 the palace was transformed into the Samegrelo Museum (which has been officially called the Dadiani Palaces Historical and Architectural Museum since 2005). The museum exhibits around 50,000 artefacts of a historical and ethnographic nature. Some highlights from the collection are: the Mother of God holy vesture, the icon of queen Bordokhan (mother of queen Tamar), manuscripts from 13th – 14th centuries, memorial relics of Dadiani dynasty, and one of the three bronze death masks of Emperor Napoleon I. The museum is one of the few tourist attractions of Zugdidi.

In this small museum I found interesting to learn about Achille Murat-Napoléon who married Salome Dadiani, born in 1848 in Zugdidi. The library is fascinating, you can see among other things original complete works by J.J Rousseau. On the other side the botanical garden is quite disappointing by its absence of flowerbeds and generally speaking, of landscape design.

Martvili Canyon, located in the Samegrelo region of Georgia, is a popular destination despite its remote location. The canyon features emerald green mossy trees, towering 70-meter high rock walls, cascading waterfalls, and turquoise-blue natural pools. Visitors can take a boat ride to experience the stunning views of the canyon or swim in the fresh clear waters near a huge waterfall.
natural wonder. Post card moments.
if in georgia don't miss this place. what a beautiful location. Green green with water falls. can't ask for more .
make sure you have enough memory and power in camera or mobile. you are not gonna stop clicking.
you can enjoy the canyon by walk and by boat ride.. outside the official place, there are people who tell will take you by jeep. haven't tried it . they say there are other portion of the river with canyon and waterfall.
but the official one itself is more, if you have time and money why not .enjoy that too
the boat ride is must . you can enjoy the waterfall from.near.
the rest of the area can be explored by walk.
make sure you have proper shoes to walk

The nature is stunning and beautiful, what they did to it much less so. They converted the most beautiful 100m parts of this canyon into a money making spectacle with fences and bridges and tourniquets. I understand they want to make money, and they say they need to "regulate" but there much friendlier ways to do this. I was honestly disappointed and I went to just walk by the river in portions that are not regulated like this and I enjoyed much more. It is sad how we can turn a beautiful natural thing into somewhat tamed and artifical one.

Must visit attraction. Don’t miss it at any cost. Don’t take the zip line but if you do also buy ticket for boat at the same time. Boating is the best part of seeing the canyon. It will cost 17.25 for entry and 15GEL for boat ride. Zip line is 60GEL. Toilets available. For best view try to sit on the front of the boat. There are some restaurants nearby you can eat. There are other things to do here as well but you need to book a private tour for that.

Martvili Canyon is a breathtaking natural wonder that captivates visitors with its stunning beauty. The vivid greenery, crystal-clear blue waters, and towering cliffs create a picturesque landscape. The meandering river within the canyon, adorned with lush vegetation and vibrant wildlife, adds to the allure.

Nice but not equipped, I haven't seen a toilet or changing cabinet. You can shower in selfmade cabines for 1 Lari. Quite crowded in high season.

This magnetic black sand is sooo good! But I have never seen such dirty water ever. Plastic bags, chips and other packs, plastic bottles. It’s like swimming in a garbage bin. I cannot understand why such a beautiful place is such highly polluted.

Long beach, mostly full of people. Some parking lots are 1…5 GEL, we parked on the street and did not have to pay. Many different places for food, lifeguard, shops. The beach was clean.

Really pleasing, black sand, supposedly good for joints. Very dirty beach. A lot of cigarette's butts and overal litter. In the summer months a crowd of mobile sellers offering many kinds of food.

Too crowded, too noisy, too dirty... So, the interesting especial place convert into not recommended for sea bathing. You may spent short time there to see black sand of the beach.

Popular Black Sea beach featuring a long, thin strip of small pebbles & sand & seasonal services.
I grew up here so rocks aren't that much of a problem.. But for other persons, bring shoes or sandals, especially in summer cause the rocks are burning hot, i don't use any but for tourists please be careful, either way i love this beach it carried my whole childhood !

It is good and clean beach. There are lifeguards and they are ready to help. But be careful the beach is full of stones and they can hurt you!!!

Cleaner water than batumi beach.
Good coast. There's changing booth and open shower. Washroom is nearby. There are some restaurants on the coast. A good relaxing spot.

A very nice beach to go the beach is very clean and the crowd is also very nice though sometimes it is very crowded and also you can do water sports.
A must place to go if you go to kobuleti.

Just great! More peaceful and beautiful than in Batumi, but you can see Batumi and the mountains along with a long distance of open water. A lot of playground things for kids and some exercising things too. A tidy place.
