With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore all that Krasnaya Polyana, 25 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights starting with Rosa Khutor Ski Resort, Mountain Carousel and Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Sochi City Centre, 40 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s V.V. Barsova Dacha Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Dagomys Beach and Riviera Beach.)
