Tofurious heads to Sochi — a city on the Black Sea coast, where the sun shines for almost 300 days a year and subtropical greenery compliments the snow-covered peaks of the Caucasus. Every year, more than 2.5 million tourists come here for the sea air, the mountains and year-round holidays.
Our curious American takes a cable car to the Krasnaya Polyana mountain resort, developed for the 2014 Winter Olympics. He tries some of its extreme attractions but lets his colleagues try out the zip line, all at an altitude of 2,320 metres, surrounded by panoramic mountain views and clouds. Tofurious samples dishes prepared to 19th-century recipes in a local restaurant and samples homemade Sochi beer.
Discover seaside subtropics, mountain adventures and Krasnaya Polyana’s historic recipes in this new episode.
