A small, consisting of 8 streets, quiet village located at the mouth of the river of the same name, is called Kudepsta. The name of the Greater Sochi microdistrict is translated from the Adyghe language as “black, oily river”.
Quiet place
As in all villages of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, this village has guest houses and pensions. Some Kudepsta sanatoriums were laid during the years of Soviet rule.
Sochi itself, as a result of preparations for the 2014 Winter Olympics, has changed beyond recognition, while Kudepsta has remained as if in its shadow, and it has gained fame as a quiet place, intended mainly for lovers of family vacations of an economy class, that is, a resort with very affordable prices .
Places of Organized Rest
The village is located right on the border passing along the river between the Adler and Khostinsky districts of Sochi. At first he belonged to the first, and now to the second district. Once in this village there were only small private houses in which tourists who prefer an unorganized vacation stayed. Of all the vacation spots available in this village, the most famous objects are the Kudepsta sanatorium and the boarding houses Burgas, Avtomobilist and Yuzhny. There are small modern hotels here, such as Epron and Bora Bora, Alpha and Shore (located closest to the sea). Actually, that's all the Kudepsta sanatoriums.
Convenient location
The advantages of this coastal village are not only silence. There is a developed infrastructure - there is absolutely everything. And at the same time, prices in numerous cafes are almost two times lower than Sochi and Adler. And from Kudepsta to the center of Sochi can be reached in 20 minutes, to Adler - in 7, to Matsesta - in 4. In addition, Matsesta has the famous mud baths.
In Kudepst itself, the central and two spa beaches are free. Opponents of a quiet family vacation can visit the resort town, which is located in three stops. Here you can find entertainment for every taste.
Kudepsta Benefits
All Kudepsta sanatoriums are located in the valley of the river of the same name and its tributaries of the Snake. Hosta, which is called the center of Russian subtropics, is also within easy reach - 5 minutes drive. It should be noted that the beaches of Kudepsta are predominantly small-pebbled. And the prices for accommodation in all this Black Sea splendor are lower than on the entire coast of the Caucasus.
In close proximity are Krasnaya Polyana and one of the main attractions of Sochi, Mount Akhun. And it is in Kudepst that there is the only cult stone (megalithic artifact) on the entire coast, to which constant excursions are organized.
Nostalgic building
You can have a wonderful rest in the most famous sanatorium of the same name Kudepsta, therefore, as a rule, there are no empty seats here during the season, they must be booked in advance. The fact that the building of the sanatorium, built in the middle of the last century and designed in the style of "Stalin's Empire", is rather its advantage. Because the fans of the “quiet” rest are mostly people of the older generation, who from childhood are familiar with such structures surrounded by cypress trees. In a word, the building of the main building causes nostalgia and sympathy.
Pros and Cons
Kudepsta is a sanatorium that, of course, is not suitable for everyone. Because the resort is annoying for the elderly, the younger generation is annoying, and the approach to the sea is uncomfortable, the service is disgusting and there are no modern amenities. And now the Kudepsta sanatorium (Sochi) does not provide treatment. This explains the affordable prices.
Although the amazing nature - the sea, mountains (Akhun and Ovsyannikova) covered with relic groves, mineral springs used to treat both pulmonary and cardiovascular diseases and eating disorders, the presence of a decent resort infrastructure in the village itself - all this is not so bad .
“Taste and color ...”
The Kudepsta Sanatorium (Sochi) has a wide variety of reviews - there are many positive, but negative or condescending ones too.
It is sad if the fact is that the sanatorium is living out its life. But the old park with magnolias, cedars, cypresses, surrounding the three bedroom buildings of the sanatorium, which can simultaneously accommodate up to 200 people, is simply magnificent. The sea, 150 meters away, can be reached via underpasses. Kudepsta is a sanatorium where you can really have a good rest.
Not so bad
But in order not to be disappointed, it is better to familiarize yourself with the reviews in advance, which indicate even the weathering smell of old age in the rooms. The Kudepsta sanatorium (Adler with an international airport is 13 kilometers away) is very beautiful. And the views of the Black Sea from here are amazing. Terrenkur (metered climbing for therapeutic purposes and a path for these climbing) was laid throughout the beautiful old park, which was mentioned above.
Plus points
The resort has a healing beach, the area of which is 3000 square meters. meters. There is all the necessary infrastructure - aerarias and solariums, showers and sewers, a first-aid post, a boat and rescue station.
There are an indoor sports complex, a gym and a tennis court at the resort. All vacationers can use the services of the sanatorium travel agencies. From here you can make a sightseeing tour of Sochi, visit the terrarium and monkey, go to boxwood grove and to many other places that are attractions of these parts.
Pension "Burgos"
However, there are modern buildings in this village, as well as sanatoriums in Kudepst with treatment, as well as boarding houses combining both of them. A good example is Burgos and Avtomobilist. Pension "Burgas", opened in 1974 and named after the Bulgarian city, in 2008 was completely renovated and adapted to the modern level of comfort. Two seven-story buildings of the boarding house can simultaneously accommodate more than 700 vacationers. The medical profile of the boarding house is as follows: digestive organs and circulatory system, musculoskeletal and nervous systems, skin and subcutaneous tissue, respiratory and urogenital systems.
It should be noted that the reviews about this boarding house are radically opposite, and in a ratio of 50 to 50. The credit is primarily for the cleanliness and services provided in the multidisciplinary medical center, low prices and the comfort of the rooms. But you can also find sharply negative reviews about all of the above. According to the results of the contest “Spa Olympus - 2009”, this pension was named the best of the 3-star in 2009. The network has a claim that the first place was bought because nothing in this pension draws a mark above average. So, after all, the competition was held among the middle-level hotels. Yes, and in the characteristics of the boarding house in the column "comfort" clearly indicates - "average". Maybe the critics of Burgas have exaggerated demands? True, there is a Sinatra building with deluxe rooms in this boarding house.
