In the mountains of the Caucasus and along the entire Black Sea coast, people could find mysterious stone structures - dolmens. They are giant houses or birdhouses built from slabs weighing several tons. One of such dolmen complexes has existed on the territory of Sochi (in the village of Volkonka) for more than four thousand years and is considered the same age as the Egyptian pyramids. From the city center you can go on a sea voyage in the form of a half-hour boat trip, before traveling to Turkey, if you, of course, took with them a passport. In the center is the Arboretum - a beautiful natural park, which contains about two thousand forms and species of plants, as well as shrubs from all over the world. In the rose garden you will see various varieties of roses of foreign and domestic selection, they bloom from early spring to late autumn. A unique corner of Sochi - Tisosamshitovaya grove.
