About Sochi.
In Sochi unusually all! The one who for the first time comes here, all over again believes, that Sochi is only city where it has a rest and in which the same small river proceeds. It will be right, but not absolutely, because Sochi it only a part of a resort, to be exact the center of one of areas - Central. Actually the city-resort includes still Lazarevsky, Khostinsky and the areas Adlersky connected among themselves by a highway and the railway. Sochi - the longest city of Russia, the general extent of 145 km. It is a question of that part of the Black Sea coast of Caucasus which enters into administrative borders of the Big Sochi.

Sochi - a resort of federal value, and privately is years capital of Russia.
The magnificent subtropical vegetation, a soft climate and warm Black sea do its attractive for having a rest and tourists from all Russia and abroad. Mountain ridges protect Sochi from cold winter winds from the north, and Black sea, getting warm in the summer, gives heat in the winter, raising temperature of air. Black sea - the warmest sea in our country. The Swimming season in Sochi lasts from the middle of May up to the end of October. The warmest water in the sea happens in August: average for a month temperature of sea water makes 26 - 27把, less often 28 - 29把. In the winter the sea is strongly cooled, and in February the lowest is established in a year temperature of sea water: 8 - 9把. In the spring, cooled down for a winter, the sea air, therefore spring in Sochi cool cools, there are fogs.
Sochi is not similar to habitual city with infinite sequence stone buildings, the areas, roadways and streets. It is city-park, city-reserve. It is so entered in an environment that makes as though its part. More than 90 percent of the area of Sochi include mountains. Not casually territory of city completely is a part of the State national park. Mountains borrow the most part of the Sochi Black Sea Coast and reach heights more than 3000 meters above sea level.
The nature of a resort - one of miracles of Sochi. Its uniqueness is those, that from an empire of hot summer it is possible, for example, by the helicopter in current of several minutes to reach glaciers of Caucasus and to come to be in the country of eternal winter. The difference of temperatures of air for low plains and can reach high-mountainous areas of the Big Sochi 15 and more. Therefore depending on height of district climatic conditions and the vegetation connected with them vary. On the average temperature of air in city during the years period 25 - 30把, in winter - 10 - 15把
The Sochi Black Sea Coast is the warmest place in Russia. Black sea, unique subtropics in Russia, the best seaside climatic and balneological health resort of the world. It is region with the richest flora. In Russia there is no place which on the environment could though in the slightest degree with it to be compared.

Geographical position.
The Sochi Black Sea Coast has settled down in the center of the Black Sea coast of Caucasus, having stretched from Magry up to the river Psou on 145 km and on 40-60 km from seacoast up to the Main Caucasian ridge. This territory of scientists carry to Kolhid's a botanical-geographical province. Significant originality and originality of this corner of Northwest Caucasus are caused by a variety of ecological conditions, a geological structure, a climatic mode, and also histories of formation of vegetation and fauna. Two elements - mountains and the sea - have created this country. The warm air weights going to coast of Black sea, are late ridges of mountains. The same mountains interfere with penetration here cold air from the north. Presence of a barrier in the form of the Main Caucasian ridge especially felt in a winter season.

The big Caucasus.
A range between Black and Caspian by seas from Anapa up to a mouth of the river Sumgait. Length more than 1100 km, width up to 180 km. In an axial part rises main (or Water-separate) a ridge which is accompanied by numerous advanced and cross-section ridges. The big Caucasus divide into 3 parts: the Western Caucasus (from Black sea up to Elbrus), the Central Caucasus (from Elbrus up to Kazbek) and East Caucasus (from Kazbek up to Caspian sea). In the field of the Big Caucasus glaciers are widespread. Their number reaches 2200, they borrow the area of 1430 square kilometers. Northern slopes much more southern also are covered by glaciers. In area Elbrus the length of some glaciers reaches 12 km. The highest point of Caucasus - mountain Elbrus - 5642 m. In vicinities of Sochi are: mountain Fisht - 2867 m, mountain Chugush - 3238 m, mountain Pshish - 3790 m. These of top and mountains are well observed by many other things with different places in Sochi.

Climate.
Average January temperature in northern and southern part of Caucasus is from - 5 up to +7 degrees. Black sea warming air in the winter, the high mountains covering coast from cold northern winds and, on the contrary, detaining southern warm and damp air weights on the slopes, create in plateau a damp subtropical climate. At the Sochi climate three seasons instead of four, as in an average strip of Russia. Here the warm and damp summer is replaced in the long autumn. The late autumn passes in early spring.

Flora.
The natural landscape of the Sochi Black Sea Coast is one of the most beautiful in the world. The beauty of its mountain gorges, the rough rivers, high-mountainous lakes and falls falling from the big height is unique. In a high-mountainous belt virgin woods from the Caucasian fir and a beech at which top border were stretched subalpine meadows, and still the above-Alpine meadows with an abundance of bright grasses and colors were kept. A number of mountain tops are covered by eternal snows and ices, and at bottom of mountains and in the bottom wide seaside valley gardens and parks, plantations of tea and citrus fruit crops the year round turn green. This beauty of the Caucasian ground is supplemented with the dark blue sea. During the years period the temperature of water is kept within the limits of from +20 up to +32 degrees.

Sea water.
Except for positive emotions the important role belongs to special properties of sea water. Superficial waters of Black sea contain chlorine, iodine, bromine, sulfates, carbonates, sodium, chloride calcium, magnesium and other. And all this a chemical variety causes "responses" of your organism, that is influences biochemical processes, normalizes a metabolism, and many other things functions.
