In particular, it can be a vacation in Kaspiysk, on the Caspian Sea. The reviews confirm that this is a modern resort city, which offers a large number of opportunities in order to recover before the new working year.

Kaspiysk is the youngest city in Dagestan, and indeed the Russian Federation as a whole. It was built during the first Soviet five-year plans. It is located in a stunning location, on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Only 15 kilometers separates it from the Makhachkala station. If in Soviet times it was the most ordinary seaside city, not particularly remarkable, today it is a wonderful resort in the Caucasus.

On a train, reserved seats will cost 3,000 rubles, and a coupe - 5,200 rubles. However, it should be borne in mind that in summer the influx of tourists is very large, so tickets need to be booked in advance, otherwise they simply may not be there.
