REST OF Russia
...there is a lot m ore to see...
If you would like to see more of Russia – nothing can be easier. Its 76 regions in 11 time zones are now open to the world traveller. Planes and trains can take you everywhere. Think of going to Karelia, Yakutia, Sochi, Baikal, Kamchatka or Sakhalin. Of course, some areas are more remote than the European part of Russia, have less hotel choices, no foreign-speaking population - but isn’t this is “the key point” for those, who want to be challenged? Here are just a couple of ideas for you. All private travel will be customized upon your specific interests, dates and hotel choices. |
| Sakhalin more >> | |
 |
Sakhalin is one of the largest islands in Russia. It is bathed by the Sea of Okhotsk, and the Japanese Sea. The island stretches for 948 km from North to South. Nearly two thirds of Sakhalin's area is mountainous. The Northern part of the island is a swampy plain covered with deciduous taiga. Mountains of the central and southern parts of the island are covered with forests of Ayan spruce, fir and birch.

| Volgograd more >> | |

Volgograd was founded in 1589 as a stronghold to defend Russia's newly acquired land along the Volga. You will start from the memorial complex Mamayev Kurgan, built in honour of the victory over German forces in World War II.
