Adler is the southernmost part of Greater Sochi. The resort occupies a vast territory, which is limited by the channels of the icy rivers Kudepsta and Psou. It stretched from the meadows of the deep Mzymta to the Russian-Abkhaz border itself.
The city owes its name to the word "artlar", which in translation from the local dialect denotes a berth. Indeed, where Adler is located, excellent conditions for mooring are created.
The parking of boats in the local waters is safe even in bad weather and is removed at a decent distance from the fairway. The depth of the water is sufficient for the raid of ships during a strong sea turmoil.
