    Sochi/Russia, 7.00 – 14.00 hrs

    Sochi seems as though it were made for rest and recreation, with its exclusive health resorts, magnificent manor houses and extensive parks. In fact, the Mediterranean climate and mineral springs meant that this “Russian Nice” flourished around the turn of the century – allow yourself to be captivated by its charm on a city walking tour*. One of the many dachas* in the city was once home to Stalin. Today you can encounter a piece of history in its rooms, which have been kept just as they would have looked in Stalin’s day.
