When going on vacation to Sochi, many are interested in the question: are there mosquitoes there?
You should enjoy your vacation, especially in the summer; no circumstances should cause inconvenience, so you need to carefully prepare for such an event. Many Russians traditionally spend their holidays in the Krasnodar region, in particular in Sochi. When going there, many are interested in the question: are there mosquitoes there? These annoying insects live everywhere, but under certain conditions they can disappear. Such circumstances include: temperature conditions, unsuitable climatic conditions, inability to lay larvae.
Sochi: are there mosquitoes here?
The period of mosquito activity begins with the establishment of warm weather. May is the time for insects to mate; it is at this time that mosquitoes begin to become active. The peak population increase occurs in June. In July the weather becomes hot and the mosquito family disappears.
If the area is very swampy, then you will have to observe mosquitoes and midges and experience discomfort from them throughout the entire warm season. The areas of sanatoriums and hotels are treated with chemicals that repel blood-sucking insects. Also, mosquitoes do not like to live near the sea.
Squeakers are especially inconvenient for all residents and visitors, the bite of which can cause allergies, itching and redness on the skin. It would be a good idea to take with you a repellent that will repel insects for protection.

Comfortable places to stay in Sochi
The territory of Sochi is free from mosquitoes. According to some versions, they are not there, because earlier they fought malaria here and during large-scale measures the territory was completely cleared of pests. Swampy areas were drained, areas with thickets and old trees were cleared, and the area was treated with chemicals. There was a massive planting of coniferous trees, which are good at repelling midges, midges, and mosquitoes. After such actions in Sochi, mosquitoes disappeared, and when they appeared over time, they were in very small numbers.
HelloSochi
On the night that followed that day, when the schema-monk finally realized that everything in his knowledge was light, he unexpectedly woke up.
This surprised him. He never woke up at night. Thinking about what had woken him up, he fell asleep again and immediately woke up again, feeling a strong burning sensation in his back. Understanding the cause of this burning sensation, he tried to fall asleep, but could not. Something was bothering him. He didn't sleep until morning. The next night someone woke him up again. He tossed and turned until the morning, quietly moaning and, unnoticed by himself, scratching his hands. In the afternoon, getting up, he accidentally looked into the coffin. Then he understood everything. Cherry-colored bugs quickly ran across the corners of his gloomy bed. The schema-monk felt disgusted. On the same day, an old man came with crackers. And then the ascetic, who had been silent for twenty years, spoke. He asked me to bring him some kerosene. Hearing the speech of the great silent man, the peasant was taken aback. However, for some reason being ashamed and hiding the bottle, he brought kerosene. As soon as the old man left, the hermit, with a trembling hand, lubricated all the seams and grooves of the coffin. For the first time in three days, Eupl fell asleep peacefully. Nothing disturbed him. He lubricated the coffin with kerosene on the following days. But after two months I realized that it was impossible to get rid of bedbugs with kerosene. At night, he quickly turned over and prayed loudly, but prayers helped even less than kerosene. Six months passed in unspeakable torment before the hermit turned to the old man again. The second request shocked the old man even more. The schema-monk asked to bring him Aragats powder against bedbugs from the city. But “Aragats” didn’t help either. The bugs multiplied unusually quickly and bit mercilessly. The schema-monk’s powerful health, which could not be broken by twenty-five years of fasting, was noticeably deteriorating. A dark, desperate life began. The coffin began to seem disgusting and uncomfortable to the schema-monk Euplus. At night, on the advice of the peasant, he burned the bedbugs with a torch. The bedbugs were dying, but did not give up. The last resort was tried - products from br. Glick is a pink liquid with the smell of a poisoned peach called "Klopin". But that didn't help either. The situation was getting worse. Two years after the start of the great struggle, the hermit accidentally noticed that he had completely stopped thinking about the meaning of life, because he was busy hunting bedbugs around the clock.Then he realized that he was mistaken. Life, just like twenty-five years ago, was dark and mysterious. It was not possible to escape from worldly anxiety. It turned out to be impossible to live with body on earth and soul in heaven. Then the elder stood up and quickly left the dugout. He stood among the dark green forest. It was early, dry autumn. Right next to the dugout, a whole family of porcini mushrooms poked out of the ground. An unknown bird sat on a branch and sang solo. The noise of a passing train was heard. The ground shook. Life was wonderful. The elder, without looking back, went forward.
Now he serves as a coachman at the horse base of the Moscow Municipal Services.

What should you take with you against mosquitoes in Sochi?
To protect yourself from mosquitoes, you need to take modern and convenient mosquito repellents for children and adults with you on vacation. Pharmacies and stores offer a wide variety of repellents. For example, water-based DEET mosquito repellent aerosol, which lasts for 8 hours, providing ultra protection without leaving stains on clothes.
DETA BABY water-based products for protecting children from mosquito bites are very popular among mothers. These products are suitable for children from 1 year old; they do not dry the skin and do not cause allergic reactions. Absolutely neutral for baby's skin.
Holidays in the south of Russia
The most popular insect repellents can be:
- Spray applied to skin or clothing. They usually have an age limit; such products are not recommended for children under 3 years of age;
- Creamy protective agents applied only to the skin;
- Tablets or liquids sprayed indoors or outdoors by igniting or using a special heating device powered by the network.
All these products at any resort are more expensive than in the regions. Knowing this, tourists try to take them with them.
Where did the circus go, it was just yesterday
In the very center of Sochi, at the point where two major avenues merge into a common thread: Kurortny and Pushkin, the kingdom of clowns, trained animals, brave acrobats and virtuoso magicians lives and lives.
Our life outside of vacation is often busy with work and household problems; it’s not always possible to go to the circus near home with the children. Every year the best circus groups come to tour the resort paradise with wonderful new programs.
Many years ago, the great maestro Yuri Nikulin himself laid the first stone in the foundation of the current building of the Sochi circus. For more than 45 years, circus lights have been lit every evening in the local arena for spectators.
And before the start of the performance, if you arrive at the circus in advance, you will have a wonderful opportunity to visit the natural and architectural miracle of Sochi - the outlandish Arboretum. Reserve 2-3 hours of free time for this and you will get an unforgettable experience from 2 events at once.

Will there be a holiday season?
This coming summer, many Russians will choose the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory, including Sochi, for their vacation. And there are several reasons for this.
Yew-boxwood grove
Firstly, the whole of Europe is quarantined due to the extremely unfavorable coronavirus situation. Perhaps the situation will improve by summer, but many need to plan their vacation in advance, and in the case of European resorts it is impossible to predict anything.
Secondly, there are no difficulties crossing the state border due to the imposed quarantine. If you go on vacation within your own country, then there is no risk of getting “stuck” in quarantine abroad.
Thirdly, accessible and understandable medicine, and if something happens, your regular compulsory medical insurance policy is valid throughout the country.
As we see, we have everything to make the holiday season in Sochi happen. But to do this, you need to be conscious now and adhere to all official recommendations in order to stop the coronavirus pandemic. Be law-abiding and healthy!

Tips and tricks
Before wishing yourself a safe journey and a wonderful holiday, check the weather forecast for the period of your stay in Sochi. You may need to adjust your wardrobe based on weather conditions. Don't forget documents, bank cards, gifts for March 8th. It would be a good idea to have a first aid kit with you on your trip containing the necessary medications and personal hygiene products.
The most important thing is to be positive. The anticipation of relaxation inspires, creates a good mood, and this is the foundation for quality relaxation. Consider the epidemiological situation in the country and follow the recommendations of doctors. And let your spring date with the beautiful city of Sochi become a happy page in your life.
How to avoid getting caught in a storm or downpour
Sochi is sea and mountains. These two beautiful elements are characterized by dangerous weather phenomena. In summer, tornadoes often form over the sea. Local emergency services send out storm warnings in advance. On such days, it is better to refuse to relax by the sea and other bodies of water. While the warning is in effect, it is prohibited to go out on SUPs, boats, yachts, cutters and other watercraft. In the mountains, violent summer downpours can cause trouble. Such rain can trigger mudflows and landslides. Experienced tourists know that the level rises several times in a matter of minutes. A mudflow can easily carry away a tent pitched next to a river bed or a car. On dangerous days, Emergency Situations Ministry employees advise refraining from going to the mountains.

How to avoid scammers
You can run into scammers right at the train station or at the airport. Porters, landlords and taxi drivers may not be who they say they are. Therefore, local law enforcement officials advise resort guests not to dress too pretentiously during their trip and to do without gold jewelry.
You need to pay attention to whether the porter has a badge so that your leather suitcase does not get “lost” along the way. That is, all porters of things who work officially receive special badges in Sochi and hang them on their shirts - this is a kind of sign of quality that a person will not steal or let you down.
We also warn you: private taxi drivers in Sochi may not allow you to pass and invite you into their cars. Don’t take risks, it’s better to use the taxi services of proven aggregators. It's cheaper and quieter.

The grandmothers who rented apartments have not completely disappeared either. But it’s safer to rent an apartment by the sea or a hotel through official tour operators. This way you will protect yourself from unpleasant surprises when the morning begins not with coffee, but with a visit from tall kids who will demand triple the rate for an overnight stay.
You can easily fall into the trap of scammers in the market. At Sochi bazaars, try not to pay with large bills, so as not to be left without money. After purchasing, do not be lazy to double-check everything on a control scale. Underweight can be up to 300-400 grams. Considering that in the summer the prices for fruits and vegetables in Sochi are Moscow prices, you can “get” a tidy sum. And one more tip - try to pick cherries and strawberries yourself. If the seller does this, then the berries in your bag may not be as fresh and large as those on the display.
How to avoid getting into trouble on the water
Unfortunately, not a single swimming season is complete without casualties. Tragic incidents usually occur at night, when Sochi beaches are already officially closed.
Tourists who don’t really know how to swim go swimming in a storm, when a black flag is raised on the signal mast and swimming is not allowed.

Local rescuers have a sad joke: dip - drink - plunge - don't swim out. Vacationers do not understand that the sea and alcohol are incompatible. You can’t go swimming while drunk, even in the calm, or, barely able to stand on your feet, climb onto a banana tree. The sea does not forgive such mistakes.
