It's a must-see place. In addition to the extraordinary beauty, it is in this park that photo shoots often take place during Kinotavr.
The Arboretum Park itself has more than 1,800 exotic and rare plants. It used to be a private garden. The playwright Khudekov purchased land on Bald Mountain and built his villa "Hope" on it. He also built the garden together with his friend, gardener K.A. Langau.
Khudekov was a great connoisseur of exotic plants and planted more than 400 species of trees and shrubs.
In 1922, the villa and the park were nationalized. At the moment, the area of the park is almost 50 hectares, and you can get to the top point by cable car, but we strongly advise to take this route on foot.
Arboretum consists of two parts: the upper and lower. In the lower part, in addition to the flora, fauna is represented, there is a pond, which is home to many birds, including a pelican. I bet you have no idea how big it can be!

You don't have to eat here, but it'll do for a short break and to quench your thirst!

Villa "Hope" was built by Hudekov in 1892 and named after his wife Nadezhda Alekseevna.

While walking through the park you are sure to work up an appetite. A 15-minute walk from the Arboretum is the Sanremo restaurant. The veranda of the restaurant looks out to the sea. In the menu you will find a lot of seafood, in the freshness of which you can not doubt.

One of the oldest parks in Sochi. It was opened in 1899 and was called Vereshchagin Park. Later it was renamed Yermolovsky in honor of the Russian philanthropist Alexei Sergeevich Yermolov.
The park covers an area of 2.7 hectares and is great for leisurely walks. There is a Summer Theater in the park and a cascading fountain in the very center.

The star-studded track is a must-attend event for such events.
Traditionally, the red carpet was used to mark the path of heads of state at official events. In recent decades, it has also been used for non-state events, but with the same purpose: to show the respect and status of the one who has been honored to walk on it.
Curiously enough, the first mention of the red carpet dates back to the history of ancient Greece, namely the play "Agamemnon" (458 BC).
The Kinotavr's red carpet is not as old, but no less honorable than its more experienced counterparts.

After the Star Trek comes the perfect time for dinner in Sochi. Even if it's a little after six... but it's sunset time, when the heat is gone and the sea air is particularly bright.
Grand Fish Veranda is a restaurant of Serbian cuisine. It has absorbed elements of Mediterranean, Turkish and Austro-Hungarian cuisine. This is largely due to the geographical location and the similarity of the products.
Do not forget that you're at sea, which means the fish must be the freshest. Especially in this restaurant it is advised to try the grilled dishes.

In the evenings there will be open film screenings on the square in front of the Winter Theater. This is an out-of-competition program, which consists of 13 films.
The program starts with Dmitry Kiselev's film "Time of the Firsts", 2017, 6+.
