Agro-Tourism in the South of Russia
Adler is the only place in Russia where tropical fruits have managed to flourish. Orchards of persimmon trees descend in tiers from the mountains while plantations of full of woody kiwi vines line the very coast. These however, are not the only exotic fruits around – pomegranates, figs, mandarins, lemons and pineapple guava grow here as well. Local market stalls are so full of these bright harvests that they look more like an artist’s palette than anything else. RTG TV host Nadezhda Lebedeva travelled to this fruit-filled paradise, where you can find exotic fruits from all over the world.

Boyar-Style Lunch in Krasnodar

Here they offer Russian dishes made following traditional recipes. With the help of the café’s chef, our RTG host prepared a fish soup with chicken, a beef stroganoff and a dessert known to guests as “boyar’s delight.”
