a beautiful coastline literally millions of people flock here every year proof that while russia may be famous for its snow and skiing there's plenty of sun sand and see here as well. this is the longest developed and buying that's in europe fourteen kilometers of it and in the middle there's this lady a white bra it's supposed to represent the hopes dreams and beauty of the beach. and it's a stunning place the results of frame by the background of the kazan mountains i'm not a sunny day of the seascapes can rival anything you might find in the greek islands but if you want to see the area in its full glory you just have to jump into a cable car. that's the way to do it on this hiking. straight up instead.

see to get a pretty good view on the way up here but i think i want to go just a little bit higher i also it's an excuse to be there as well ok you can find the black seas equivalent of the london eye although admittedly this is a little more retro. going to the most technologically advanced roy this one safety equipment. is a big poll. just. five minutes to get to the top. managed to cling on to him for a treat. this is the highest brought eat on them saw a black sea coast meters above sea level. incredible. little bit windy

a bit wobbly. tourist stores will arrive here in april when the season can continue into october. attractions in the area are geared to appeal to the whole family and i wanted to check out one of its newest success stories. people come from all over russia to visit the black sea coast but if you're looking forward to multiculturalism. pretty good place to start . to farm boy names here this is simply called old park bench lee it's not very old at all but take a walk around and you'll soon get the picture. who needs a foreign holiday when you can come here the pyramids of egypt the temples of ancient greece. even a roman billion dollar less time than it takes. architects alexander like sailboat back in two thousand and four with

a number plan in mind. we were out to get together many cultures within the space of the east west caucasus russia. these architectural structures are filled with substance and as you look around you begin to realize that the culture of humankind is a synthesis of many cultures or that is embrace is the whole period from ancient designs all the way to modern architecture. alexander has areas had a case it's more than ten different cultures and it was a lone wolf to be paid all respects to zeus but we found ourselves in ancient egypt . it may be a little smaller than the pyramid of giza really it's based on but it's certainly boasting some foreign acoustics.

are going to be some gold roll was listening he couldn't have been so impressed with our singing as it probably began to rain. it was a perfect moment moved ahead indoors and visit the park's medieval town and there's a bird's eye view of the grounds. oh here we are james this is our territory with those that are am is to build a space where architecture and nature so merge into the harmony where we all want to be. if your fortune has something to do with. probably a pretty good place to start and if you go there early enough they'll be plenty for someone setting off for their morning catch. one of the best things to me about coming to the coast is that sells the house and breastfeed so that's why we're on board. this is going to take the place we can collect it down there.

i'm sam we will work from the stir. so game his crew a muscle an oyster farmers they won't even breeding the tasty mollusks for three years but they're already proving very popular. that yes i can show you that as far as r.c. france area is concerned this is a budding market. traditionally people here ate issues kebabs and fish and now there's a great demand for seafood that not only locally but also in moscow st petersburg and elsewhere there were no shelf asian oysters in the menu bar the restaurants only local people like to cook shellfish for a very long time. so there's palma alexander is an oyster deliberate and once they've arrived at the beds his job begins.

we're in the right place of the secret. but once everything secure the catch has to be loaded into the robots and that's where the hard work begins. if you know the fun of dirty jobs it's probably easy for you each pretty much guarantees you a seawall to show on soft drink is and plenty of unwelcome guests. little crowds are there as well as get the stuff is about all. of you always does themselves can be surprisingly hard to fully and. so this kind of reading program apparent doesn't yield too many oysters the quite rare so you see we've got tons and tons of mussels but only one or two oysters hidden among them. it's more like. i have been a needle in a haystack. again his crew off though this still huge demand for fresh mussels locally on did most go and there's definitely no shortage of them. so this is going

to be one of the biggest seafood buffy's you have a lightly the sea we got a lot under twenty muscles are feeling bathing crabs in fish and of course they are fresh as i said it's not often you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately. there's no shortage of experience because. most of us are ok so i. may not be the most romantic setting to try one of nature's great aphrodesiac you don't get that much fresher than this. not to mention extremely tasty. so i have my long journey over water but i'm not sure that even the most generous marine biologist would count as all muscles among the small system called screeches swimwear that is intelligent animals are eating. well when you're kind of like see the soft front. of

me. gerson hello. again here is a story. that has some of it. saying hello to zurich and z. you know three beautiful well who knows the things they've been living in performing here of the dolphinarium for more than ten years and they go there begging technique down to a falling out. but this is probably the best quickest way to make friends or they sure don't. feel that. this one is greedy. that theirs is the best way to get quickly pads. having to share their breakfast. with the ladies clamoring for something they goes.

to go. in a row the fights i've won the. rivalry. and. business we are actually seeing are in the car around two hundred fifty kilos and zurich tips the scales over three hundred but fortunately there's plenty of food for everyone. so the girls eat sixteen kilos of pay for they go through a c. . can you imagine how many of these that is yeah i know me is still here recently hungry and that means that he's quite happy to run through his seems as long as there's a reward on offer looking first you sure to have tractors attention and then you throw it. you know maybe. they could come on.

oh. the fox ok now we know the whole. thing. with a little bit. of the highlights of the season hundreds of people come to see zorra and his girlfriends every day in practice and certainly made perfect. i get the feeling he's disturbed. by. this is the first saw him i had the chance to get up close and personal with. jane for get ready to take it was best i could possibly imagine it's.

going to be one of the most amazing experiences. for him he's a school. much of your it doesn't mean he's been nothing ever will. go this amazing feat. although i could do the. graceful exit of. if. an obese way. look at my gym and. thankfully peached don't think is a rare sights along the black sea coast but you can quite a few on well. unfortunately like many other resorts around the world

the black sea coast has its own problems with lists but as they say sometimes one man's trash can be another man's treasure for in this case another woman's treasure . oh she runs away from paul probably in sacks production and some bottles here you can see waists from shoes production just like you was. quoted. polyfill in and used x. seven years ago a name in the can for over gave up her practice is a doctor to become an artist and environmentalist. recycling is still rare in russia and is a common sight mina has opened the whitehorse gallery to try and draw attention to the damage the waste is doing to the local area therefore it's always a pain to see the earth turn into a garbage can i try to collect some of the rubbish but of course my efforts were in vain the trash was not getting smaller many people just don't understand me i don't

know how to explain it to them my idea is to make people remember my work and everything that i have taken care of before their litter i want them to remember my beloved maxi and the fish it will be great if they begin doing such things even better than me i mean or offer to give me a quick lesson in how to make plastic stick. let's make a fish ok come on we're making a little addition for name is biggest installation a sculpture that's intended to represent the whole of the black sea thirty first let's get rid of unnecessary stuff here is the fairmont gun take a look it's not clear if it's a fish yet but now we're going to shape it and look here is the tail. and now we're going to color eight o'clock and it will become absolutely fabulous star of the. price that's right.

yes. and no you should shake it a little bit to let the pain perhaps is definitely my sort of out. to let me run them let me paint forwards in the way i'm sure what breed of fish we were creating but it was pretty colorful and once the finishing touches had been added and was ready to take its place in the gallery forwards and queue we go james and here is here to make this work now you have your own facing the back seat of that's right enter to see find a nice place for her hope she'll have a happy life. to me and think you can transform all this rubbish and something really rather beautiful but hopefully the people who see it or people think it will bit more before they chuck away the next plastic bottle. but taking a look at my sculpture of the black sea reminded me of another thing i hadn't quite have the time for you. have been some place here in the dark skull was speaking

about my favorite things and. it is up here.

can't. get. so far on my trip i had the chance to meet a few of the black seas merida malls but i've heard that up there in the hills there were plenty more who preferred troy lymes the least most of the time. this isn't just an ordinary zoo it's a rescue and a retirement center for injured and exposed for animals like battle down here and enjoy her early morning bought. full report looks after more than sixty different species a moment with his keeper nickel. and so we started working here three years ago because i was a hunter it seems like we're animals don't really crunchiness. let's go milo this

is blue the himalayan pant mold no longer want to say how long you want to have fun and once. he's only ten months old growing like a weed. now but when he gets bigger. it's going to be about one hundred kilos and i think he's. going to have it and pointing everything in his reach. every careful. mind. you think palooza handful wait to release his friends next door he. isn't a morning baby. with a space of recent births the zoo now has around three hundred animals and they've set up a nursery for their baby cats and why can't we get along my place. my genes the most amusing becoming a little street and just

a few months ago they welcomed one of the world's rarest animals so this little is adam a baby i want. and the son of to confiscate it i guess so he really is a little nearer. and you can already see. that it's not going to be too long. before. he's going to turn into the world's biggest cat bit of a killer and i'm hoping it's going to be gentle with me with him. here have been rescued from poachers or from circuses but some come from rather more unusual backgrounds. this is grigori he lived with her grandmother in no rush east he was living in a simple flat for a long time is more than ten years old grandmother has brought him here some three years ago she was a very old woman she brought to bear here in a car without any cage just using a leash she cooked

a big delicious cake for him grandmother is just too old to look after him. i'm just sort of as in a bad living in a granny flat now. even a big spare room with me. i've never seen one my own have such a bond of trust with so many different creatures it was like being around a real life dr doolittle and niccolo hopes that the thousands of visitors who come to the park take a new appreciation of the animals away with a. visit to the supporting part with minor cuts and bruises i figured it was time to visit one of the black sees more sedate stall rest attractions and maybe get myself something to eat. one thing you learn quite quickly about the russians is that they love their bread whether it's brown growing it pretty much comes with everything we just grew it strains in the two years i've been travelling around this country i've never seen one of those. it's a roof of

a mill that was growing flower in this area more than a century ago and with the help of a few modern improvements it's back in business. the history of this company is fairly typical of russia founded in eight hundred ninety five it was nationalized in one thousand eight team. in the one nine hundred thirty s. it was really in sickle and hammer and wasn't service until the early one nine hundred sixty s. . a few years ago the original mill was stripped transported and rebuilt here and the old gears were given a new lease of life. there are some new parts to this windmill but it really is a timeless bit of engineering vertical axle turn by the wind power and that energy. is then converted down here by these wheels. and this one is part of the original nineteenth century mechanism the windmill still running day. which moves these two parts up into the grinding stone.

and we get flour the same way it's been produced for her. and making it is a really simple process the so. they get. now follow me. here is a receiving bunker or out this way here that's there now in the process of how already underway plenty of believing in baking little time for some. ok so i've heard of a ploughman's lunch but i'm guessing this is a miller's blog this milk. fresh bread made with. a very good. this mill may be an example of the region's recent history but there are relics along the shoreline take back to antiquity. this is the age and

city of gold the pier was home to thousands of people until it was destroyed in the third century a.d. and it's one of the best preserved examples. of an agent city on the recent coast agree to settle here names their city after samarian king and its ruins cover around forty. it's still possible to wander through the so as of great houses and you can even discover the citizens favorite tipple i bet this would have been one of the most popular places back in the days of good because it's the remains of an ancient winery people will cross the grapes here and use then would have come down these forests and into these enormous buckets can show you. down here. unfortunately. well we've got now of course it is rainwater o'clock in the day which would have held the equivalent of thousand

more bottles. may have been long since deserted but the descendants of its creeper settlers are still in the area and they still have a passion for the grape. this is russia's wine country around sixty percent of the comes from around this area on about some people who make some of the best. these oh you grapes i believe yes and this is a very important sort of you. and his family are almost ready to start making the latest batch of their famous. so much depending on the use of stress they will set you back around fifty dollars but this much of grapes went distant from. my father.

oh yes the beginning. they once. again this is bringing in the harvest he likes to have a few friends and. tradition. goes to the cellar where it's. just so there was a pretty big power of grapes to crush so he seemed to take. the music is supposed to get everyone stomping away in a nice beautiful rhythm a lumia great. looking around on fifty kilos of grapes takes some doing. and i was about to get more from the ending of. that so i think. we definitely deserve a drink thank you very much. yes this is

a bit. she was sent to continue long into the evening but i want to take a stroll across a number of the regions around marks before one plane back to moscow. when it's windy even plenty of warning won't keep you warm. my savior is what caused his son max and run a.t.v. tours along with jeans here. i'm off to tackling the dunes it certainly beats walking back to the hotel. it may have been getting chilly but as a born and bred seaside town boy i was sad to be leaving the black sea coast they may not post the infrastructure of some of the famous mediterranean resorts with months of sunshine and relatively low prices and no troublesome visa receivers is easy to see why millions of russians come here for the summer holidays it's a place to relax bring the family and enjoy the warmest bluewater of russia hostile
