Krasnodar Territory is the southernmost part of Russia. All cities of the region are resort-like with flowering parks, fountains and old hotels.
One of the major attractions of the region is the Kuban Cossacks movement with the headquarters in Krasnodar. The surrounding villages (or stanitsy) are worth a visit if you are interested in seeing how the Cossacks live these days and learning more of their history and culture.
Sochi is the semi-tropical Russian vacation paradise, full of palm trees and beaches. Here is also found world-renowned spas, sanatoriums, and alternative medical therapies. So come sailing or skiing while you wash away life's aches and pains.
