Description:
View of the city of Sochi,
Krasnodar Krai, Russia, lying along
the Black Sea coast near the
southern Russian border with
Abkhazia, Georgia.
Location Information:
The
historical centre of the district is
the resort of Adler - formerly
classified as a town, but today a
microdistrict of Adlersky City
District - located at the mouth of
the Mzymta River. Home to Adler-Sochi
International Airport, Adler is also
the effective southern terminus of
the Russian section of the North
Caucasian Railway, which has ceased
to carry international traffic to
Georgia since hostilities between
Russia and Georgia closed the
cross-border line in 1992. The
summer months see direct train
services bringing visitors to Adler
from as far away as Berlin in the
west (a journey of 3,714 km),
Vorkuta in the north (4,286 km away,
beyond the Arctic Circle), and
Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East,
with the 9,816 km of the latter
journey taking eight days to
complete.
