25 main cities of the Krasnodar region (1 photo)
Krasnodar
The largest cultural and economic center in the region.
Its location 100 km from the sea had little effect on its tourist attractiveness. The city is “sick” of football: Krasnodar took over the baton from the Kuban club.

Krasnodar is located on the “life line” - exactly between the equator and the North Pole. Population – 932,629 people (2020).
Sochi
The main resort of Russia on the Black Sea. Remains popular since Soviet times. The hosting of the Olympics here in 2014 gave impetus to a new wave of tourism.
