Tour of Gelendzhik
The city of Gelendzhik is located on the Gelendzhik Bay on Russia’s Black Sea coast. It only officially became a city in 1915, but long before this, merchant ships began laying their anchors in the bay. The area first served as a settlement, and later a fortress as well. Nowadays the city is bordered on one side by the sea, and on the other by the Caucasus Mountains. A variety of different health resorts can be found along the city’s pebble beaches. Two capes, the Thick and the Thin, work to protect the coastal resort area from the large and powerful waves. RTG TV host Ludmila Shiryaeva went for a bike ride around the green city, got to explore the outskirts of Gelendzhik, visiting Russia’s first manmade cave and topped it all off with luxurious spa treatments and a massage.
A voyage on Chusovaya river
The Chusovaya River is a Ural legend. It is the only stream of water which crosses the Ural Ridge and it is through the waters of the Chusovaya that the complete history of the acquisition of the mountainous country by Russian colonists can be told. The river served as the main route via which Yermak Timofeevich, who headed the conquest of Siberia, led his expedition. For a long time this waterway was the main transportation artery along which the influential Russian industrialists, the Demidovs, floated their iron caravans. The rocky cliffs lining the riverbanks once presented a mortal danger to these ships and barges, however today they are part of the breathtaking landscape which leaves a lasting impression on the tourists sailing along the Chusovaya River.

Green. The Color of Life
It’s the Chief Engineer of life on Earth. Without it, there wouldn't be any oxygen, food or us. Green is the color of chlorophyll, a molecule that has been converting sunlight into energy for billions of years. From photosynthesis to the camouflage of animals, from ancient algae to northern lights, this color controls everything on the planet. “Green. The Color of Life”, watch in on Russian Travel Guide.
