Tickets from Moscow to Sochi

The city has an ancient and very interesting history. Even in the descriptions of ancient Greek historians and geographers, the area was mentioned as a picturesque and heavenly corner, where Colchian tribes lived. Modern science has information that the first people lived here as early as the 5th millennium BC. Archaeological excavations near Sochi take us back to ancient times, up to the Stone Age.

The subtropical climate, proximity to the Black Sea, and majestic mountains have made Sochi attractive for living, so throughout different centuries, it was inhabited by ancient Greeks, Byzantines, Caucasian tribes, and Turks, until in the 19th century Sochi was conquered from the Ottoman Empire and came under the control of Russia.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a grandiose construction of recreational and tourist infrastructure starts in Sochi, and soon the city acquired the characteristics of an all-union health resort. Sochi is rapidly growing, with an increasing influx of tourists. In 2014, the Winter Olympic Games were held here, and for this event, numerous sports and cultural facilities were built in the city - stadiums, ski resorts, swimming pools, restaurants, and many others. Clean air, mild seaside climate, abundance of healing mineral and mud springs attract tens of thousands of tourists every year. But besides healing, a vacation in Sochi will be of interest to lovers of summer and winter sports, history enthusiasts, and representatives of the bohemian lifestyle.

Among the city's landmarks, special attention should be given to witnesses of ancient times: counterparts of England's Stonehenge (processed stone blocks), located in the village of Volkonka, appeared here more than 4,000 years ago. These stone complexes can be found in the vicinity of Sochi in many villages, with more than half of the stones adorned with drawings and hieroglyphs.

The ruins of medieval temples and churches also attract a lot of tourists, just like a number of museums of history, painting, and literature.

During the day, the squares, parks, and shady boulevards are empty, but in the evenings, tourists and city residents gather here. Many great writers and artists have vacationed in Sochi, and each of them has left their mark in the city's history.
