Sochi - Sochi

Sochi (Ruscha: Sochi, SO-chee) eng janubiy joylaridan biri hisoblanadi Rossiya va ikkinchi eng katta shahar Krasnodar o'lkasi, 415 ming aholi bilan. Bu Qora dengiz sohilida, janubdan taxminan 1600 km Moskva. 2014 yilda Qishki Olimpiya va Paralimpiya o'yinlarini, 2018 yilda FIFA Jahon chempionatidagi futbol (futbol) uchrashuvlarini o'tkazdi.

Tushuning

Sochini ko'pincha Rossiyaning norasmiy "Yozgi poytaxti" yoki Qora dengiz marvaridi deb atashadi. Bu mamlakatning eng katta va eng gavjum yozgi dengiz kurorti bo'lib, u har yili o'zining tog'li qirg'oq bo'yi, cheksiz sayoz plyajlari, iliq quyoshli kunlari va tungi hayoti bilan har yili 4 milliondan ziyod mehmonlarni jalb qiladi. Maydan sentyabrgacha Sochi aholisi sayyohlar, shu jumladan taniqli shaxslar va mamlakatning siyosiy elitasi bilan kamida ikki baravar ko'payadi.

Qora dengizdan Sochidagi ko'rinish

Ehtimol, Rossiya vizasi xarajatlari va talablari tufayli ushbu tashrif buyuruvchilar olomonining atigi 3 foizini xalqaro sayohatchilar tashkil etadi. Ehtimol, Sochiga eng taniqli siyosatchi bo'lmagan xorijlik mehmon Bono bo'lishi mumkin edi, u 2010 yilda prezident Medvedev qarorgohida vaqt o'tkazishga taklif qilingan edi. Ammo umuman olganda, bu shahar juda ham ichki manzil bo'lib qolmoqda, bir muncha tegishli xalqaro infratuzilmaga ega emas va bir xil tilda. Rossiyaning aksariyat mintaqaviy markazlari to'siq qo'yishadi.

Sochining yana bir paradoksi shundaki, har doim milliy mentalitet bilan janub, palmalar va issiq iqlim bilan bog'liq shahar 2014 yilgi qishki Olimpiya o'yinlarida g'olib bo'ldi. Ushbu hodisani ruslar hech qachon to'liq anglamaydilar: mamlakatdagi har bir joyda haqiqiy qish bor, ammo Sochi? Javoblar shiddatli sovuqning yo'qligi va shahar hududidagi eng umidli Krasnaya Polyanadagi Alp tog'lari. Kamroq amaliy tushuntirish - bu Sochining baxtli taqdiri. Shahar haqida eng mashhur ruscha so'zlar "Agar men kartalarni o'qiganimda, Sochida yashagan bo'lar edim" ()Znal by prikup - jil by v Sochi). Preference karta o'yinidan kelib chiqqan holda, ushbu so'z Sochi va uning aholisi omad bilan, bundan tashqari, tasodifiy va oldindan aytib bo'lmaydigan boylik bilan birlashishini ko'rsatadi.

Ehtimol, bunday Olimpiya omadlari shaharga milliy chegaralardan tashqariga chiqishga va chinakam global saytga aylanishiga yordam beradi. Sochida tabiatni, sportni, tarixni va quyoshli plyajdagi dam olishni yaxshi ko'radigan har bir kishi uchun taqdim etadigan ko'plab diqqatga sazovor joylar mavjud. Ushbu Qora dengiz marvaridi hali ham kashf etilishini kutmoqda.

Tarix

Bugungi Sochi hududi ming yillar davomida yashab kelgan, Kavkaz tog'li qabilalari yashagan va qadimgi yunon, Rim, Vizantiya, Abxaziya va Usmonli tsivilizatsiyalari ta'siri va hukmronligi ostida bo'lgan. Oldingi tsivilizatsiyalarning bir nechta diqqatga sazovor joylari, shu jumladan bronza davridagi stol toshlari va o'rta asrlar Vizantiya ibodatxonalari qoldi.

Rossiya imperiyasi 19-asrning boshlarida bu erlarga yaqinlashdi va Usmonli imperiyasi bilan urushdan keyin 1829 yilda ularni egallab oldi. Ko'p o'tmay, 1838 yilda rus hukumati zamonaviy Markaziy Sochi o'rnida Iskandariya qal'asini o'rnatdi va Shaharning zamonaviy Lazarevskoe tumanida yana 2 ta qal'a. Iskandariya bir necha bor o'zgartirildi va nihoyat 1896 yilda Sochi (mahalliy daryo nomi bilan) nomini oldi.

20-asrning boshlarida Sochi kurort maskani sifatida tanildi. 1902 yilda Matsestada birinchi hammom binosi qurildi va 1909 yilda "Kavkaz Rivierasi" deb nomlangan rasmiy kurort ochildi. 1917 yilgi inqilobdan oldin Sochi shahar maqomini oldi va shu bilan birga temir yo'l uni Rossiyaning qolgan qismi bilan bog'ladi. Ammo muntazam poezd qatnovi atigi 6 yil o'tgach, Rossiya fuqarolar urushi bolsheviklarning g'alabasi bilan tugagandan so'ng boshlandi. Shahar juda sekin o'sib bordi (1916 yilda 13000 dan 1932 yilda 17000 gacha).

1934 yilda Stalin hukumati tomonidan Sochini umumiy qayta qurish boshlanganda vaziyat o'zgargan. 1932-1939 yillarda atigi 7 yil davomida shahar aholisi 17000 dan 72000 gacha osmonga ko'tarildi. Sochining qiyofasini hozirgi ko'rinishga yaqinlashtiradigan yangi yo'llar, teatrlar, bog'lar, mehmonxonalar va kurortlar qurildi.

1961 yilda hokimiyat Sochiga qo'shni aholi punktlarini kiritishga qaror qildi va Buyuk Sochi (Bolshoy Sochi) tarixini boshlab berdi.

Sovet Ittifoqi qulaganidan keyin Sochi Rossiya Prezidentining an'anaviy yozgi qarorgohi rolini o'z zimmasiga oldi Qrim, chunki bu mustaqilning bir qismiga aylandi Ukraina.

2007 yilda shahar o'z tarixida yangi sahifani ochib, 2014 yilgi Olimpiya o'yinlari o'tkaziladigan shahar nomzodini qo'lga kiritdi. Qurilish ishlari hajmi juda katta, shu jumladan yangi infratuzilma (yo'llar, sanitariya, havo va dengiz portlari va boshqalar), sport maydonchalari ( ham yopiq, ham tashqi), savdo va turar-joy binolari. Sochining yangi qiyofasi bir paytlar Sovet ichki kurortining xususiyatlarini o'zgartira boshladi.

Yog'ingarchilikQor jami dyuym

Sochi baxtli ravishda subtropik iqlim zonasida joylashgan Rossiyaning o'sha mayda qismiga tegishli. O'rta er dengizi iqlimidan farqli o'laroq, Sochida namlik darajasi juda yuqori Abxaziya yoki ba'zilarida AQSH davlatlar (masalan.) Missisipi, Alabama, Luizianava Gruziya). Yog'ingarchilik ko'p bo'lishiga qaramay, Sochi har yili 300 quyoshli kunni boshdan kechiradi, bu Rossiyaning qo'shni hududlaridan tashqari boshqa mintaqalari uchun aql bovar qilmaydi. Krasnodar o'lkasi qirg'oq shaharlari. Bu deyarli barcha yil oylarini Sochiga tashrif buyurish uchun qulay qiladi, faqat noyabr, dekabr va yanvar oylaridan tashqari.

Xurmo va qor: Sochida qish

Yomg'irning aksariyati qish, qisman qorda, lekin odatda shaharning qirg'oq qismida muntazam qor qoplami yo'q. Sochiyaliklar kamdan-kam hollarda qishki shinalardan foydalanadilar, shuning uchun har qanday kuchli qor yog'ishi haydovchilar uchun oldindan aytib bo'lmaydigan darajada keladi. Katta Sochining tog'li qismining iqlimi sezilarli darajada sovuqroq bo'lib, qishda to'liq chang'i mavsumini o'tkazishga imkon beradi (odatda, fevral va mart oylari). Shu tufayli Krasnaya Polyana tezda qishki kurort sifatida rivojlanib bormoqda va 2014 yilgi qishki Olimpiya o'yinlari paytida barcha ochiq musobaqalarni o'tkazdi.

Davri bahor juda qisqa va bog'larning gullab-yashnashi bilan ajralib turadi (odatda fevralda harorat pastroq bo'lsa ham, mart oyida boshlanadi). Bu yomg'ir kam yog'adigan qulay mavsum, ammo baribir sovuq dengiz bilan.

Sochi yoz suzish mavsumi bilan bog'liq bo'lishi mumkin, bu odatda may oyining o'rtalaridan oktyabr oyining oxirigacha davom etadi. Bu iyul-avgust oylarida eng yuqori turistik mavsumdir. Sentyabr va oktyabr oylarida shahar, qisman o'quv yili boshlanganligi sababli, kamroq mehmonlarni jalb qiladi. Qora dengiz hali ham iliq, havo juda issiq bo'lmagan va ko'chalar sayyohlar olomoniga to'lib ketmagan bu ikki oy Sochiga tashrif buyurish uchun eng yoqimli vaqt bo'lib tuyuladi. Ushbu davr silliqlash mavsumi ("barxatnyy sezon") deb nomlanadi.

Mavsumdan tashqari mavsum kuz, oktyabr oyining oxirida Sochiga kelish iliq, ammo bulutli kunlar va yomg'ir ko'proq. Noyabr oyining oxiriga kelib kunlik o'rtacha harorat 10 ° C dan pastga tushadi.

Etnik kelib chiqishi va dinlari

Sochi - Rossiyaning 100 dan ortiq millat vakillari yashaydigan ko'p millatli shaharlardan biri. Ularning aksariyati etnik ruslar (68%), muhim ozchiliklar armanlar, ukrainlar, gruzinlar, yunonlar, cherkeslar, beloruslar, tatarlar va yahudiylardir.

Rus tili - bu shaharda deyarli hamma, shu jumladan deyarli barcha ozchiliklar gaplashadigan asosiy til, ammo ko'plab mahalliy joy nomlari abxaz va cherkes tillaridan kelgan. Eng ko'p ishlatiladigan narsalarga quyidagilar kiradi "pse" / "psh" / "psta" (suv), "ah" (baland) va "nykh" (muqaddas).

Sochi aholisining asosiy qismi pravoslav nasroniylardir (80%). Shuningdek, musulmonlar (5%), katoliklar va yahudiylar ham bor. Pravoslav sobori shaharning barcha qismlarida namoyish etilgan. Markaziy Sochidagi yagona katolik cherkovi 1997 yilda qurilgan (cherkovga tashrif buyuruvchilarning aksariyati katolik armanlari). Bu erda juda kichik va uzoq masjid bo'lsa ham (Txagapsh jamoasida, Lazarevskodan tog'lar tomon 15 km uzoqlikda) masjid mavjud. Shahar hokimiyati 2014 yilgacha yangi masjid va ibodatxona qurishni rejalashtirmoqda.

Buyuk Sochi xaritasi

Yo'nalish

Katta Sochi Qora dengiz qirg'og'i bo'ylab 105 km masofani egallaydi. Uning umumiy maydoni 3500 km² (3 baravar katta) Moskva). Shu bilan birga, aholining aksariyati tor qirg'oq bo'ylab joylashgan bo'lib, tog 'maydoni (1900 kvadrat km) asosan Sochi milliy bog'i va qisman Kavkaz biosfera qo'riqxonasi. Shaharning yo'nalishi shimoliy-g'arbdan janubi-sharqqa, qo'shni shahardan Tuapse bilan Rossiya chegarasiga to'g'ri Abxaziya.

Katta Sochida 4 ta ma'muriy okrug mavjud. Markaziy Sochi tumani shaharning asosiy qismi va uning eng rivojlangan va aholi punktidir. Shaharning ko'plab diqqatga sazovor joylari, mehmonxonalari va aksariyat savdo markazlari mavjud. Yozgi mavsumda Markaziy Sochi odatda odamlarga to'lib-toshgan va tiqilinch. Lazarevskoye tumani eng katta (1744 km)2) va Sochi tumanlari orasida eng uzun (65 km qirg'oq chizig'i) 34 kichik tumanni o'z ichiga oladi, ularning aksariyati dengiz qirg'og'i bo'ylab tarqalgan. Lazarevskoe tumani Buyuk Sochidagi boshqa shaharlardan kamroq shaharlashgan. Aslida uning ko'pgina turar-joylari bor, ko'pincha bir-biri bilan yomon bog'langan va asosiy infratuzilma mavjud emas. Xosta Tuman Markaziy Sochidan janubi-sharqda joylashgan bo'lib, ushbu tuman kabi ba'zi diqqatga sazovor joylarni o'z ichiga oladi Oxun tog'i. Adler tumani Sochining xalqaro aeroportini o'z ichiga olgan shaharning muhim transport markazi bo'lsa-da, Adler poezd terminali (Buyuk Sochiga boradigan ko'plab poezdlar uchun yakuniy nuqta) va faqat ochiq chegara o'tish punkti Abxaziya. Adlerning roli hozirda tez sur'atlarda o'sib bormoqda, chunki u 2014 yilgi o'yinlar uchun barcha Olimpiya joylarini qabul qiladi (Imeretinskaya pasttekisligidagi Olimpiya qirg'oq klasteri va tog 'klasteri Krasnaya Polyana). 2014 yilga kelib Imeretinskaya pasttekisligi va Krasnaya Polyananing qiyofasi va mahalliy transport infratuzilmasi tubdan o'zgardi.

Katta Sochining eng yaxshi rivojlangan, shaharlashgan va monolit qismi Dagomis (Lazarevskoe tumanidan janubi-sharqda) va Adler tumanining Imeretinskaya pasttekisligi o'rtasidagi qirg'oqdir.

Pul

Rossiyaning boshqa joylarida bo'lgani kabi Rossiya rubli (RUB) - bu shaharda rasmiy ravishda qabul qilingan yagona valyuta. Pul ayirboshlash muammo emas, lekin banklarda faqat rasmiy hisoblagichlardan foydalaning va sizga yirik transport markazlarida almashtirishni taklif qiladigan odamlardan qoching. Rossiya qonunchiligiga ko'ra pasport almashinuv operatsiyalari uchun zarur.

Sochida ko'plab bankomatlar mavjud, ayniqsa Markaziy Sochi va Adlerda. Siz ulardan ba'zilarida nafaqat rublni, balki dollar yoki evroni ham olib qo'yishingiz mumkin (barcha bankomatlarning taxminan 10%). Visa va MasterCard Rossiyada keng tarqalganligini hisobga oling, ammo American Express kartalari odatda yirik sayyohlik joylarida ham qabul qilinmaydi. Bundan tashqari, kichik do'konlarda yoki restoranlarda va kichik xususiy mehmonxonalarda karta orqali to'lash bilan bog'liq muammolarni kuting. Bunday holatlar uchun yoningizda bir oz naqd pul bor.

Chiqinglar

Sochi Rossiyaning bir nechta dengiz portlari qatoriga kiradi, bu erda xalqaro sayyohlar 72 soatgacha vizasiz kirish imkoniyatiga ega (faqat kruiz kemalari va parom yo'lovchilari uchun amal qiladi). Ishlatishdan oldin cheklovlar va talablarni diqqat bilan tekshiring.

Boshqa xorijiy mehmonlar uchun standart Rossiya vizasiga talablar murojaat qilish.

Sochi xalqaro aeroporti

Samolyotda

  • 1 Sochi xalqaro aeroporti (AER IATA) (Adler tumanida, to'g'ri yo'lda Krasnaya Polyana). Sochining asosiy shlyuzi. Bu 2014 yilgi Olimpiadaga tayyorgarlik paytida to'liq rekonstruksiya qilingan. Parvozlar jadvali mavsumga qarab, may-sentyabr oylarida eng ko'p parvozlar soni bilan farqlanadi. Qish paytida parvozlarni ob-havo sharoiti tufayli kechiktirish mumkin. Shu bilan bir qatorda, Krasnodar yoki Gelendjik aeroportlardan foydalanish mumkin. Sochi xalqaro aeroporti (Q1138408) Vikidatada Sochi xalqaro aeroporti Vikipediyada 

Xalqaro reyslar

Bilan muntazam havo aloqalari mavjud Vena (Austrian Airlines), Istanbul (Turkish Airlines) va Tel-Aviv (Rossiya havo yo'llari).

Sobiq Sovet Ittifoqi mamlakatlari ham Sochiga ulangan:

Yerevan, Armaniston (Ural havo yo'llari), Minsk, Belorussiya (Belaviya), Kishinyov, Moldova (Air Moldova), Toshkent, O'zbekiston (Rossiya) va Dushanbe, Tojikiston (Tajik Air).

Reylar bo'yicha:

Rossiya temir yo'l kompaniyasi Sochi aeroportiga ikki tomonlama temir yo'lni qurib bitirdi va bu aeroportdan Sochi Adlerga etib borishning eng oson yo'li. Chiptalar juda arzon va poezd taxminan har soatda qatnaydi.

Sochining asosiy temir yo'l terminali

Poyezdda

Sochida Markaziy Sochi va Adlerda ikkita yirik temir yo'l terminali mavjud. Biroq, ko'pchilik poezdlar Buyuk Sochining kichik tranzit stantsiyalarida: Lazarevskaya, Loo, Dagomys, Matsesta va Khosta-da qisqa to'xtashadi. Chiptalarni sotib olish orqali sotib olish mumkin Rossiya temir yo'llari veb-sayti, RZD hisoblagichlarida yoki sayyohlik agentliklari orqali. RZD chiptalarni sotishni sayr qilishdan 45 kun oldin ochadi, yuqori mavsumda oldindan bron qiling.

Rossiyaning muhim shaharlari bilan, shuningdek, yirik shaharlari bilan muntazam ravishda poezd aloqalari mavjud Belorussiya va Ukraina. Yil davomida yo'nalishlarga quyidagilar kiradi:

Xalqaro:

Ichki:

Yuqori mavsumda (maydan sentyabrgacha) poezdlar soni va yo'nalishlarning xilma-xilligi keskin oshadi.

Mashinada

M4 / E115 yo'li Sochini bilan bog'laydi Moskva (1660 km) orqali Voronej (1150 km), Don-Rostov (570 km) va Krasnodar (300 km).

Ushbu gavjum yo'lning sifati tor serpantindan tortib to magistralgacha uning qismiga qarab farq qiladi va so'nggi yillarda yaxshilanishga intiladi. Odatda shaharga etib borish uchun 2 kun ketadi Moskva va 5-9 soat Krasnodartrafikka qarab.

Evropadan Sochiga borishda siz tranzit yo'llardan foydalanishingiz mumkin Ukraina yoki kurka. So'nggi holatda Sochiga mashina o'tkazilishi mumkin Trabzon parom bilan. Sochiga kirish orqali Gruziya va Abxaziya imkonsiz, chunki bu ikki davlat o'rtasidagi chegara yopiq.

Avtobusda

Sochining asosiy avtobus terminali Markaziy Sochidagi asosiy poezd terminaliga yaqin. Ikkinchi muhim terminal Adlerda.

Xalqaro yo'nalish yo'nalishlari:

Asosiy ichki yo'nalish yo'nalishlari:

Sochi dengiz porti

Qayiqda

Sochiga kruiz kemasi yoki oddiy parom bilan borish Rossiyaga tashrif buyurish uchun jozibali imkoniyat bo'lishi mumkin vizasiz. Yo'lovchilar kruiz kemasida yoki ushbu guruh sayyohlik dasturi uchun tashkil etilgan mehmonxonada yashasa, Rossiya hududida 72 soatgacha qolishlari mumkin.

Ajablanarlisi shundaki, hozirgi kunga qadar aksariyat xalqaro sayyohlar Sochiga kelishadi kruiz kemalarida (marshrutni tekshiring).

The Sochi dengiz porti asosan maydan oktyabrgacha bo'lgan davrda bir nechta muntazam xalqaro yo'nalishlarda ishlaydi:

Sochidan parom chiptalarini odatda portdan, jo'nashdan 1 kun oldin sotib olish mumkin.

Qo'shni shaharlar bilan muntazam ravishda kema aloqalari mavjud Novorossiysk, Tuapse va Gagra, Abxaziya.

Sochi xaritasi

Piyoda

Markaziy Sochi ichkarisida ko'p masofalar yurish mumkin, tog'li landshaftni hisobga olish va tegishli jismoniy harakatlar zarur.

Shaharning boshqa tumanlarida o'z qismlari o'rtasida sezilarli bo'sh joylar mavjud, shuning uchun transport vositalaridan, masalan, Matsesta ga Kudepsta yoki dan Loo ga Lazarevskoe. Buyuk Sochining tumanlari va tumanlari o'rtasida yurish, odatda piyodalar yo'laklari yo'qligi, tepaliklar va intensiv transport tufayli oson emas.

Ehtimol, dengiz qirg'og'i bo'ylab cho'zilgan shahar uzoq muddatli sayohatlar bo'lishi kerak edi. Darhaqiqat, plyaj orqasidagi qirg'oq maydonining ko'p qismi temir yo'l tomonidan olinadi. Shunday qilib, faqat haqiqiy sayohat o'rtasida Riviera bog'i va Dendrarium Markaziy Sochi. Ikkinchisida qurilish ishlari olib borilmoqda Olimpiya parki Adler.

Sochining kurort o'ziga xos xususiyatlaridan kelib chiqqan holda, odatiy yondashuv plyajdan masofani metrlarda o'lchashga to'g'ri keladi. Bu yomon hazilni o'ynashi mumkin: siz o'zingizni dengizga yaqin mehmonxonada yoki kvartirada topishingiz mumkin, ammo har qanday infratuzilma va transportdan uzoqda bo'lasiz. Shunday qilib, rezervasyon paytida ehtiyot bo'ling.

Avtobus / marshrutka orqali

Rossiyaning xuddi shu o'lchamdagi boshqa shaharlaridan farqli o'laroq, Sochida hech qanday tramvay yoki trolleybus yo'q. Yiqilgandan keyin avtobuslarni tashishning dastlabki tizimi Sovet Ittifoqi kichikroq xususiy avtobuslar bilan doping qilingan va marshrutka (mikroavtobuslar). Oxirgi toifa asosan mavjud bo'lgan avtobus yo'nalishlarini ba'zi bir kichik, lekin ko'pincha foydali qo'shimchalar bilan takrorlaydi. Xizmat juda tez-tez va nisbatan arzon bo'lib, uni Sochida eng mashhur transport usuliga aylantiradi.

Shahardagi eng muhim avtobus / marshrutka marshrutlari:

  • 3K - markaziy avtobus terminalidan to Matsesta
  • 12 - dan Bytxa ga Matsesta
  • 17 - Markaziy avtovokzaldan Novaya Zaryaga (Markaziy Sochining halqa yo'li)
  • 22K - markaziy avtobus terminalidan to Bytxa
  • 36 - Sochining dengiz portidan Mamayka
  • 47K - markaziy avtovokzaldan Transportnaya ko'chasigacha (Olymp Mall)
  • 57 - Adler temir yo'l stantsiyasidan Imeretinskaya pasttekisligi va Vesyoloe (bilan chegaraga Abxaziya)
  • 64 - dan Mamayka ga Kudepsta Markaziy Sochi orqali, Matsesta va Xosta
  • 99 - Sochi temir yo'l stantsiyasidan Vinogradnaya ko'chasiga (Markaziy Sochining halqa yo'li)
  • 105 - orqali markaziy avtobus terminalidan Matsesta, Xosta va Adler kichik tumanlarga Sochi xalqaro aeroporti, keyin to Alpika-servis qismi Krasnaya Polyana. The 105K avtobus faqat aeroportga boradi.
  • 106 - Sochi temir yo'l stantsiyasidan Alabalık fermasi orqali Sochi xalqaro aeroporti
  • 125 - markaziy avtobus terminalidan Imeretinskaya pasttekisligi orqali Matsesta, Xosta va Adler
  • 130 - Adler temir yo'l stantsiyasidan Alabalık fermasi
  • 135 - Adlerdan (bozor) Krasnaya Polyana
  • 155 - markaziy avtobus terminalidan to Lazarevskoe Lazarevskoe tumanining aksariyat tumanlari orqali (Dagomis, Vardane, Loo, va boshqalar.)
  • 167 - markaziy avtobus terminalidan to Adler (bozor / Novy Vek Mall)

Avtobus / marshrutka raqamlari 1 dan 99 gacha bo'lgan narxlar qatnovning barcha masofalariga belgilanganligini anglatadi. 100 raqamlari yurish masofasiga qarab moslashuvchan tariflar tizimiga ega.

Buyuk Sochining 100 km uzunligi poyezdlarni shahar tumanlari o'rtasida sayohat qilish uchun eng tezkor va eng qulay transport vositalaridan biriga aylantiradi. Ilgari Sochida yo'lning muhim qismida yagona yo'l bor edi Tuapse va Abxaziya, 5 ta yirik stantsiyani, 4 ta kichik stansiyani va metropoliten ichidagi 28 ta platformani boncukla. 2014 yilgi Olimpiadaga tayyorgarlik ko'rish bilan Rossiya temir yo'llari (RZD) Adler, Xalqaro aeroport, Imeretinskaya pasttekisligi va Krasnaya Polyana viloyati) ni bog'laydigan ikkita yangi liniyani qurdilar, ularning umumiy uzunligi 48 km, 5 ta stantsiya bilan.

Sochining shahar poezdlari doimiy ravishda takomillashib, standart rus tilidan yangilanmoqda elektrichki zamonaviy va qulay bo'lganlarga. Ularning aksariyati Adlerdan (yoki Sochi markaziy terminalidan) Tuapse yoki Goryachy Klyuch va orqaga. Har kuni bir yoki ikkita poezd qatnaydi Krasnodar va Maykop. Sochidan Lazarevskoegacha bo'lgan eski poezdda (elektrichka) sayohat qilish uchun bir tomonlama chiptaning sayohat vaqti 1 soat 45 minut. Yangi qatnovchi poezdda sayohat 50 dan 70 minutgacha davom etadi. Adlerdan Lazarevskoega boradigan bo'lsangiz, 40% ko'proq pul to'lashni kuting (oddiy eski poezd uchun sayohat vaqti 2 soat 20 minut).

Yozning issiq mavsumi Sochiga ko'proq mintaqalararo poezdlarni jalb qilsa, ushbu davrda mahalliy yo'lovchi poezdlari soni kamaymoqda. Shunday qilib, yil davomida atigi 6 ta mahalliy poezd mavjud (mavsumdan tashqari 16 ta). Yaxshi yangilik shundaki, har bir uzoq masofali poyezd Adler, Xosta, Sochi, Loo va Lazarevskaya stantsiyalarida to'xtaydi, shuning uchun shahar ichida ushbu poyezdlar bilan sayohat qilish mumkin. Yomon yangilik shundaki, har safar shaharlararo poezd chiptasini sotib olayotganda sizga pasport kerak bo'ladi.

Taksida

Odatda bo'lgani kabi Rossiya, qo'lingizni ko'chaga olib chiqish sizning sayrda topmoqchi bo'lgan bir nechta mashinalarni jalb qiladi va ulardan faqat bittasi litsenziyalangan taksilarga ega bo'ladi. Bunday norasmiy transport mamlakatda hali ham mashhur bo'lib qolmoqda, chunki u odatda rasmiy taksi xizmatlariga qaraganda arzonroq va tezroq. Shu bilan birga, unchalik xavfsiz emas, avtoulovlar kamroq qulay va hokazo.

Sochida ingliz tilida gaplashadigan taksi haydovchilarini deyarli uchratmaysiz. Shunday qilib, agar siz bir oz sarguzasht yoki tanish bo'lmasangiz Ruscha, sayohatni tashkil qilish uchun mehmonxonalarni qabul qilish kabi mediatorlardan foydalanish tavsiya etiladi.

Hatto rasmiy xizmatlarda ham hisoblagichlar kamdan-kam uchraydi, aksariyat hollarda yo'l haqini haydash vaqtiga qarab yoki belgilangan narxlardan foydalanadi. Siz bilan naqd pulda bo'ling, chunki faqat bir nechta xizmat kredit kartalarini qabul qiladi.

Mashinada

Sochida haydash uslubi aksariyat joylarga qaraganda tartibsizroq Rossiya: janubiy qon unga ta'sir qiladi. Shunday qilib, yo'l madaniyatidan xuddi shunga o'xshash tarzda kuting Gretsiya yoki kurka va nihoyat bunga qaror qilgan bo'lsangiz, haydash paytida juda ehtiyot bo'ling.

Yana bir masala shundaki, Sochida, ayniqsa shaharning markaziy qismida to'xtash joylari juda etishmayapti. Haydovchilar tez-tez avtoulovlarni avtobus bekatlari, piyodalar o'tish joylarida qoldirish uchun boshqa alternativaga ega emaslar va shu bilan birga avtoulov foydalanuvchilarining ko'payishi bu ko'chalarda tirbandlikka olib keladi.

Qayiqda

2005 yilda Markaziy Sochidan boshqa shahar tumanlariga doimiy kemalar qatnovi eskirgan flot va bir nechta mahalliy plyuslarning yo'q qilinishi sababli to'xtatilgan. Ushbu yukni tiklash ishlari olib borilmoqda.

Velosipedda

Shahar velosipedlarini ijaraga berish xizmati velosipedni 30 ta avtomatlashtirilgan terminalning istalgan qismida olib ketishga imkon beradi (uchuvchi terminallar Markaziy Sochi va Xosta tumanlarida o'rnatiladi). Xizmat bepul, lekin velosipedni qaytarishdan oldin garovni qoldirishingiz kerak.

Shuningdek, shaharda velosiped yo'llarini ajratish bo'yicha ishlar olib borilmoqda. Biroq, Sochida transport vositalari zichligi va ko'plab qurilish maydonlari tufayli velosipedda harakatlanish hali ham noqulay.

Nogironlar aravachasida

Odatda, Rossiya nogironlar uchun qulaylik darajasida katta bo'shliqqa ega. Bir nechta shaharlar ushbu sohada takomillashtirish dasturlarini boshladilar va ularning orasida Sochi ham bor. Paralimpiya o'yinlarini tashkil etish uchun talabga javob beradigan shahar.

Hozircha hech bo'lmaganda aeroportdagi inshootlarga va Sochidagi yangi qatnovchi poezdlarga kirish imkoni mavjud. Sochining qulaylik xaritasini yaratish bo'yicha loyiha 2011 yilda boshlangan bo'lib, xuddi shu butun Rossiya loyihasini boshlab berdi. Umid qilamanki, kelgusi bir necha yil ichida shaharning mavjudligini sezilarli darajada yaxshilaydi Xanti-Mansiysk boshqa Paralimpiya sport tadbirlaridan oldin.

O'rganing

Russian Language

There is no sustainable practice of learning Ruscha as a foreign language in Sochi. Two places can offer such classes potentially:

  • Russian University of Peoples' Friendship (RUDN), Sochi Branch (Department of additional education), Kuibysheva, 24 - Adler, ☏ 7 8622 40-0895, ✉. This university is among leaders in Rossiya by number of international students. Sochi branch is, however, a small one, so your case with Ruscha study will be probably solved on individual basis. 
  • Sphere Travel, 11 Navaginskaya Str. - Central, ☏ 7 8622 64-6305, ✉. This company several years ago offered the following programs of Ruscha: general, intensive, business, speaking, and academic Russian. Due to low number of students please check the actual situation before planning study. 

Ish

Getting a work permit in Russia is not usually an easy process, at least if you are not a former Sovet Ittifoqi state citizen. Sochi can possibly be an exception, as the preparation of Olympic Games will create many new workplaces. Some of the potential vacancies will require international expertise. Highly qualified international candidates will have simplified visa and work permit procedure.

There are potential vacancies for English tutors, as the demand for English study in the city is constantly growing. It is also possible to find sport instructors' jobs, in both winter (skiing, snowboarding) and summer (diving, yachting, kitesurfing) sports, but knowledge of Russian is essential for those positions.

Sotib oling

Mahalliy mutaxassisliklar

  • Krasnodar tea (Краснодарский чай).

Sochi has more than 200 hotels, and their number is steadily increasing, but the cost of stay may seem to be overpriced, comparing to many European destinations. There are more than enough gigantic health resorts and hotels, which were a pride of former Sovet Ittifoqi resort industry, but which are completely obsolete. On the other hand, many mini-hotels have opened in Sochi, but only few of them are able to meet average international service requirements. Hotel staff often has problems with hospitality, helpful answers and advice, and with speaking any other language than Russian.

Between these two extremes, there is a gap of normal chain or chain-like 2-3-4 star hotels with reasonable prices and acceptable level of English and hospitality skills of staff. The situation is slowly improving, but the room to grow is still large.

In general, Lazarevskoe district offers cheaper accommodation, while Central Sochi and Adler have more expensive options. Prices also depend on season, traditionally increasing in summer and in the beginning of May (between 2 national holidays). Always book in advance in summer. The selection of hotels below includes mainly those of them, where better English and/or service level has been reported. For the mountain part hotels please see Krasnaya Polyana.

  • Chastny sector - many Russian visitors of Sochi stay at unofficially rented rooms or apartments (so called chastny sector). This opportunity can be significantly cheaper than hotels, especially if several people rent one facility. But owners of such properties usually don't speak English, their facilities are not available via any online booking, and their quality varies greatly. You will meet many rental properties owners and agents at train and bus terminals (they usually offer komnata (комната), i.e. room). Chastny sector of proven quality is usually can only be recommended by someone who has already stayed there. Narxlar har xil.

Xavfsiz bo'ling

Krasnodar o'lkasi is probably one of Janubiy Rossiya's most safe regions. Sochi does not stand out with the higher crime rate, but standard safety precautions should be used. There is a saying in Rossiya: "Nights are dark in Sochi" ("В городе Сочи темные ночи"), and this can be explained as that anyone or anything can get lost in the city.

Try to avoid unlit spaces during the night and beware pickpockets in crowded places, such as markets and transport terminals. Beggars can approach you at stations and beaches. Fraud is widespread at Russian summer resorts, but most of its organizers would have problems with English. Anyway, try to avoid drinking and gambling with newly met people.

Several reports of explosions in Sochi area luckily were more vandalistic than terroristic, and their organizers were arrested soon after.

Sunburn can occur in summer, so use sunblock during the hot season.

Tap water is practically safe and Sochi was awarded with first in Russia drinking tap water certificate (2011).

Abxaziya

View of New Athos monastery, Abkhazia

Once a flourishing sea resort and part of Soviet Gruziya, this mountainous Caucasian republic passed through a bloody civil war with Georgians after the Sovet Ittifoqi collapse, proclaimed its independence and was supported by Russia, but yet unrecognized by most countries. Honestly loved by many Russian tourists, Abxaziya is undeservedly mostly unknown by travellers from other parts of the world.

Abkhazia is quite small and can be quickly discovered within a weekend, but longer stay is certainly needed for deeper impressions. The monastery and the cave at New Athos, shu qatorda; shu bilan birga Lake Ritsa, are definitely among most amazing places at the Black Sea. This breathtaking beauty mixed with Abkhazian poverty and the remains of the civil war will leave no one indifferent. Locals are very friendly, but only few of them will understand anything in English.

Sochi is the only place with Abkhazia border crossing possibility from Russian side. There is a crossing point at Vesyoloe (southern part of Adler district). It can be crossed both by foot and by car/bus (two separate bridges through the border Psou river). Coming to Abkhazia by foot, you will find a marshrutka parking right after the bridge - a cheap opportunity to reach any key destination of the country. The Abkhazian capital Sukhum is also reachable by a direct bus from Sochi, and a commuter train (elektrichka) is planned to start operate in 2011. There is also option to get to Gagra, Abkhazia by boat from Sochi port.

Going to Abkhazia be prepared to comply with Abkhazian visa requirements. Be also aware that, to return to Rossiya after a trip, you may need double-entry or multi-entry Russian visa.

Adigeya

A fully enclaved into Krasnodar o'lkasi small national autonomy, neighboring to Greater Sochi, Adigeya has a significant tourist potential, which is underestimated. Rafting, waterfall seeing, trekking and other mountain activities in front of awesome Caucasus views make this destination very promising. It is also important that Adygea is safer than any other Caucasian region except Krasnodar Krai.

Maykop, the capital of Adygea, is accessible from Sochi by train (daily, 6 hours) and bus (1-2 daily plus transit buses, 8 hours). There is also an option to reach Adygea by car (6-8 hours via Tuapse). An extreme alternative to that is the mountainous unpaved direct road connecting Sochi with Adygea via Caucasus ridges. Be more than careful using it.

Caucasian Biosphere Reserve

View of Psekhako ridge in Caucasian Biosphere Reserve

This natural reserve has the second-largest protected area in Europe and the largest one in Caucasus mountains. It occupies the mountain ridges of Krasnodar o'lkasi, Adigeya va Qorachay-Cherkesiya, including part of Greater Sochi metropolitan area (Khosta district and Krasnaya Polyana), bordering Sochi National Park.

Caucasian Biosphere Reserve is the richest biodiversity treasury, having no equivalents in Russia and an international value as a piece of untouched nature with primeval habitats. Reasonably, this unique area is included into the YuNESKOning Jahon merosi ro'yxati. The rasmiy sayt of the reserve is available in Russian only.

Two exclaved parts of the reserve, those are in Greater Sochi, are easy to visit: yew & boxtree wood at Khosta va wild animals nursery da Krasnaya Polyana. To visit other parts of the reserve, you need to get special permit, requiring the following:

  • list of participants,
  • passport details and passport copies of each participant,
  • name of the group's leader,
  • planned route/itinerary,
  • period of stay (number of days),
  • entrance fee

In Sochi you can get the permit at the reserve's headquarter: Karl Marx street, 8, room 10, Adler district, Sochi.

Gelendzhik

A resort town at the Black Sea coast to the north-west from Sochi, one of the most popular domestic summer destinations of Russia. Gelendzhik has both natural and leisure attractions.

Gelendzhik is a transit point for several buses going from Sochi (4-5 daily). A ride will take 5.5 hours. The Sea Flight fast ferry going from Sochi to Novorossiysk and back also makes stops at Gelendzhik.

Novorossiysk

Bu Krasnodar o'lkasi's 3rd largest city is the biggest Russian port at the Black Sea and the main cement industry center in Janubiy Rossiya. The majority of the city's tourist attractions are related to the II World War, when Novorossiysk was among Russian key battlefields. The most known memorials are Malaya Zemlya, Defence Line (Rubezh Oborony) and Death Valley (Dolina Smerti).

Novorossiysk's vicinities have beautiful nature of Caucasus foothills. On the top of local natural wonders is the amazing Abrau lake, the biggest one at Northern Caucasus. Just nearby the wine manufacture of Abrau-Dyurso is located, making this place the capital of Russian sparkling wine (tours to Abrau-Dyurso with wine testing are available). There are also several smaller beach resorts around the city.

There are several ways to get from Sochi to Novorossiysk. Buses go daily (8.5 hours). Sea Flight speed ferry connection operates from May to October, 3 times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays). One-way ride will take about 5 hours. It is also possible to get to Novorossiysk by train via Krasnodar.

Tuapse

Another important Russian port at the Black Sea and the closest neighbour town bordering Greater Sochi. This is mostly industrial and transport hub, attracting fewer number of tourists, than other Russian Black Sea coastal locations. But anyway, Tuapse is good for a single-day trip from Sochi. After a look at the downtown, the awesome surroundings should be visited. There are several very scenic cliffs around, the top of those is Kiselev's Rock, a 46-meter upright cliff breaking down into the sea. Quite many ancient cultural remains, such as table-stones, are also around Tuapse.

Har qanday elektrichka or long-distance train from Sochi stops in Tuapse, the frequent bus/marshrutka connection is also available. Expect 2 - 2,5 hours for one-way trip from Central Sochi.
