Sochi, often referred to as the Russian Riviera and the Black Sea Pearl, is one of the country’s largest resorts. After a major renovation and construction overhaul that prepared the city for the Winter Olympics in 2014 Sochi emerged as a newly modernized city with extensive infrastructure and dozens of new hotels. The city is an exciting mix of many different cultures and traditions.
