【5 Days & 4 Nights in Sochi】A Real Experience on Russia’s Black Sea 🌊

First things first: total cost per person including flights and accommodation was around 4k–5k RMB 💰 Just got back from Sochi and put together this super honest travel recap—no filters, just real experiences! 😊 📌 Trip Overview ✈️: Booked through Aeroflot, Moscow ➡️ Sochi Round-trip for 4 people: 83k RUB (approx. 6k+ RMB) 🏠: Found a homestay on суточно.ру – 30k RUB (about 2.7k RMB) for 5 days/4 nights One bedroom + living room with two beds, perfect for 4 people 📍 Day 1: Arrival & Seaside Stroll Took a morning flight from Moscow ✈️ Sochi From the airport to the city: Train: 40 mins, 300 RUB Taxi: around 1k RUB Spent the evening walking around the pier and booked a fishing boat tour for later (always bargain hard—cut the price in half and compare offers!) Dinner at a random seaside restaurant—great view and delicious food 🌅🍽️ 📍 Day 2: Day Trip to Rosa Khutor (Rose Valley) Took the train from Sochi station to Роза хутор 🚆 Choose the two-seater side facing the sea for gorgeous views! Windy at the summit—bring a jacket! 🧥 The cable car ride was nice, but honestly, if you skip Rosa Khutor, you’re not missing too much 😅 Had a fancy dinner later—it was a friend’s birthday, such a fun vibe! 🎂🥳 📍 Day 3: Dolphin Chasing & Sea Fishing 🐬🎣 3-hour boat tour—we saw dolphins! But the waves were huge—felt like a pirate ship 🏴☠️ Must bring motion sickness pills! I was too dizzy to take photos 😵 📍 Day 4: Beach Relaxation Day 🏖️ A full day of pure chill—I got tanned after just half a day under the sun 😆☀️ 📍 Day 5: Exploring Adler Town 20-minute train ride to Adler 🚉 The colorful houses are super photogenic! 📸 💡 Tips: 1️⃣ Language: Speak Russian or English if you can. If not, a translator app works just fine! People there are super friendly to foreigners—way nicer than in Moscow 😉 (No evil elbow-throwing grannies here!) 2️⃣ Transport: The local train is cheap and convenient within the city. Use Yandex.Taxi for rides 🚖 3️⃣ Sunscreen: The Black Sea sun is stronger than you think! ☀️ If you don’t mind tanning, go for it. If you do—use both physical and chemical protection! This trip wasn’t about checking off tourist spots—it was about slow travel, good food, and real relaxation 😌 Sochi is affordable, uncrowded, and beautiful—perfect for those who want to avoid tourist crowds! 👯♀️❤️ #Sochi #SochiTravel #SochiGuide #SochiRestaurants #SochiTrip
