Lazarevskoye village refers to Big Sochi, this is the administrative center of Lazarevsky district. Usually the village is called simply – Lazarevka. It is very similar to Sochi – the same subtropical climate, around – the mountains, the palm trees are growing everywhere. The coastal line was stretched by 7 kilometers, it is made up of comfortable beaches.
Lazarevsky beaches
In Lazarevsky, the cleanest and well-kept beaches on the coast of the Krasnodar Territory.
The village is very beautiful, and the coastal line corresponds to him. All beaches are covered with small pebbles, in some zones at the entrance to the water there is a strip of sand. Lines most beaches are not indicated, they go one to another.
The spa season begins with early spring and continues until October until the sea cools. At this time, very crowded here.
If you need a relaxing holiday, then Lazarevka is definitely not suitable for you. If you are interested in well-kept beaches with developed infrastructure and entertainment at every step, then you here.
Central beach
Stretches along the central embankment, which in itself – the landmark.
I’ll tell you about the embankment just below, first about the beach. It has absolutely all that can only wish – hire chairs and umbrellas, water rides for children and adults, shops, catering establishments from small vans to solid restaurants, miniature massage and cosmetic salons.
The beach line is very wide here, in some places it reaches 70 meters.
To sit down closer to the sea, you need to come at dawn or even half an hour before.
Already several seasons in Lazarevsky popular Nautical Pedicure, It makes fish called Garra Rufa.
Along the beach line there are many places where they provide such a procedure. The visitor sits down and lowers the feet into an aquarium with small fish, they begin to fuse from stop dead skin cells. Feelities The procedure is similar to lung plugging. Some find it pleasant, and someone, on the contrary, do not like it, but at the points with Garra Rufa there are no post off from visitors.
Beach "Flamingo"
If you go from the side of Tuapse, then this beach will be the first to see you. He belongs to the "Flamingo" hotel, but the entrance to it is free for everyone. The level of convenience and services is not inferior to the central beach. Here is convenient to relax with children – the coastline is very common, no sharp descents.
One of the most interesting entertainment on the beach – Difference with aqualung.
During diving near a professional instructor. If you want to experience this personally, choose windless days. Ring on the water worsens visibility, because on the bottom there is sand.
On this beach, there are also a lot of people.
Swirky Beach
Located near the same gorge, the entrance to the beach is free.
When locals walk to the sea, they prefer the Swirky Beach. This beach is different from others – there are fewer people here, but it is impossible to call it desertless.
If you are resting here, be sure to visit the Swirle Gorge.
The entrance to the territory of the gorge costs about 100 rubles. You will pass a few kilometers along the trail going past the waterfalls and real dolmen, huge boulders of bizarre. This is a good way to cool after the beach. In the gorge, even in the summer, pleasant coolness.
Lazarevsky sights
Attractions are waiting on every street. This village is very similar to Sochi. But the most outstanding, for which you can come here, just a few.
Ferris wheel
Wheel can be seen almost from anywhere in the village. But the view from it will not be so fabulous as you can imagine. In Lazarevsky dense building. Most of the review are roofs of houses and the sea.
The village surround the mountains, against which the wheel seems small. Ride once it is definitely worth, but there is nothing special in this attraction. If not afraid of height, then buy a ticket not to a closed cabin, but to outdoor places, It will give more vivid impressions.
The feroument wheel in Lazarevsky has its own website, but information on it is rarely updated, these prices may not correspond to reality.
One ticket will cost approximately 400 rubles.
In Sochi, on Mount Akhun there is another wheel of the review, it is two more times less, but it’s more exciting to ride it.
Ahun – One of the highest mountains in large Sochi. From this small wheel a more breathtaking view, the review does not close other mountains.

Central Embankment
The length of this embankment is only one kilometer, so you can go through it in the winter in 5-10 minutes. In the summer, go along the embankment a quick step will not work. This is the epicenter of the resort industry with all sorts of entertainment – cafes, restaurants, shops with souvenirs and beach goods, cosmetic and massage salons and other entertainment.
For example, a couple of years ago appeared here Iron throne from the sensational "Game of Thrones". For a small payment, everyone can take pictures on it. At every step you will be invited to excursions and events. It is on the embankment that it is clearly felt that Lazarevka looks like a large anthill.
After sunset, karaoke and nightclubs begin to work, street musicians come out on the embankment. Another exciting show is Live statues. If the filtered artist does not move, it is impossible to distinguish from the real Stone Statue.
If you bring to relax in the nearest settlements, and you will arrive in Lazarevskoye for one day, do not leave on an early train, all the interesting starts closer to the night.
Oceanarium "Tropical Amazon"
Do not confuse with another oceanarium, come exactly in Tropical Amazon, the best in all big Sochi.

Find this oceanarium is very simple. It is located five minutes walk from the railway station, next to the only McDonalds in the village. Like everyone in Lazarevsky, "Amazon" is very compact, but they assign at least a couple of hours to visit it. Entrance to the oceanarium is made in the style of the Logova Cobra, you first find the first floor.
First floor – Oceanarium
The first floor is huge aquariums with giant fish, some of them are similar to the prehistoric creatures of the time of dinosaurs.
Not all fish are large. Piranha very small, slightly more adult palm. But these fish are very dangerous, pay attention – some of them have no one eyes or even two. Here is I Katrana, so called a black seal small shark.
On the first floor heavier wet air. It seems that you yourself are inside the aquarium. If you move away from the aquarium, and then approach him again, the sea world will open from the new angle. You can endlessly proceed from one aquarium to another, and every time you observe different types.
To visit the first floor takes no less than an hour. If you’re lucky, you will fall for fish feeding.
In front of the ladder on the second floor there are small open ponds with turtles and koi carpami. Turtles can be taken on hand. Koi carps also became manual, children often stroke them, and fish are not even trying to float. After visiting the first floor it seems that the second floor will not be so interesting, but this is a delusion.
Second floor – Pingwinard, Exotarium
You will be surprised when you see that the aquariums are open. Being on the second floor, visitors look at them from above. From this angle, they can be viewed again and again, especially when the most huge fish swim on the surface of pairs, similar to dinosaurs swim.
Around the aquariums are the enclosures, there are many funny animals in them.
It is difficult to pick up the time so that all the inhabitants wake up, so it’s better to slowly get around the second floor several times. For the first time you may seem that the aviary is empty, but when you again approach, you will see a bizarre rodent in it, chameleon or someone else. Lenvents live here, but they can see them in motion it is extremely rare.

Penguins
Three penguins live in the glass.
Wolter is designed so that its lower part is water, in the middle – artificial ice molding, in which the penguins walk. All three go on the ice, they make interesting movements, as if we are bowing to visitors. Sometimes they just stand still, but in a moment everything can change – one of them will jump into the water, and the other two abruptly change in places.
Looking at the clumsy penguin on land, it is difficult to imagine that it is such a quick and graceful in the water, that he is so deftly jumps out of the water, as if it takes off. Watch the penguins at least 10-15 minutes, during this time they will demonstrate a lot of interesting skills.
"Tropical Amazon" is a real landmark of Lazarevsky, coming to the village is only for the sake of him.
Dolphinarium "Lazarevsky"
Located next to Tropical Amazon, in the same building as McDonalds.
