But over time, especially as a result of reconstructions before and after the Olympics, this resort metropolis has become a too noisy and crowded place. It is difficult to find good housing here, close to the clear sea, and the thunder of music from entertainment centers, youth parties and clubs often haunts families with children, romantic couples, or just wanting to relax on the sea coast. And yet, in the vicinity of Sochi, you can find beautiful places where there is still a quiet, measured rest. One of them is Kudepsta. We analyzed the reviews about this village later in the article.
