Sochi

Sochi is a city in Russia located on the North-East coast of the Black Sea (the Black Sea coast of Russia) in the Krasnodar Territory, 1620 km away from Moscow. The administrative center of the municipality is the resort city of Sochi.

To date, Sochi is reputed to be the most wheelchair accessible city in Russia. The infrastructure of Sochi created for the Olympics 2014 allows wheelchair users, visually impaired, blind, and elderly people to feel comfortable.

Modern Sochi offers adapted hotels, beaches, and public transport. Wheelchair users can visit the fine pebble beach called "Riviera". There is no current near the coast, so swimming is comfortable and safe there. The beach is equipped with an accessible WC and wooden walkways, deck chairs are free for the disabled. Unfortunately, there is no beach assistance. However, if you travel with a companion or are in excellent physical shape, you’ll have no troubles getting into the sea.

All the attractions are accessible! Though, you won’t be allowed into the cabin of the Ferris wheel if the width of your wheelchair exceeds 40 cm. You can take a yacht to the sea (by the way, the seaport is absolutely accessible), the friendly and caring staff will pick you up on board.
