its snow and skiing there's plenty of sun sand and see here as well. this is the longest developed embankments in europe fourteen kilometers of it and in the middle. of white. resent the hopes dreams and beauty of the beach. and it's a stunning place the results of frame by the background of the mountains and on a sunny day the seascapes anything you might find in the greek islands and if you want to see the area in its full glory you just have to jump into a cable car. is the easy way to do it. straight off.

a pretty good view on the way up here but i think i want to go just a little bit higher and also it's an excuse to. appear you can find the black seas equivalent of the london although admittedly this is a little retro. going to the most technologically advanced this one safety equipment. there's a big. five minutes to get to the top. if you. managed to cling on for a treat. this is the highest brought on the install a black sea coast meters above the sea level. discovers incredible. maybe a little bit when the. tourist

store to arrive here in april when the season can continue into october. attractions or me 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 for a different sort of multiculturalism it's probably a pretty good place to start. new flamboyant names here this is simply called old poke then surely it's not very old it's old but take a walk around and you'll soon get the picture. who needs a foreign holiday when you can come here you got the pyramids of egypt. temples of ancient greece. and even a roman pavilion all in less time than it takes you to a script. architect alexander of open the post back in two thousand and four with a membership plan in mind. we

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

listening he can't have been too impressed with all singing as it probably began to rain. it was a perfect moment mujahid indoors and visit the punks medieval town and there's a bird's eye view of the grounds. here we are james this is our territory with him is to build a space where architecture and nature into the harmony. to be. if you're fortunate has something to do with the docs are probably a pretty good place to start and if you go there early enough they'll be plenty of fishermen setting off for the morning catch. one of the best. so that's why we're. going to take the place we can collect it down there. sam. will work from the. cruel muscle and.

they've been breeding the tasty mollusks for three years but they're already proving very popular. show you that as far as city is concerned this is a budding market. traditionally people here. know there's a great demand for seafood not only locally but also in moscow st petersburg and elsewhere there were no shellfish an oyster is in the menu bar the restaurants only local people like to cook shellfish for a very long time. and one of the beds begins. but once everything secure the catch has to be loaded into the rowboat and that's

where the big. if you're not a fan of dirty jobs this probably isn't for you each will pretty much guarantees you a seawall to show on fingers and plenty of unwelcome guests. little crowds in there as well as going to stop. them soon can be surprisingly hard to find. so this kind of reading program apparent doesn't yield too many oysters they're quite rare so you see we've got tons and tons of mussels but only. hidden among them. finding a bit of a needle in the haystack. this still huge to my muscles locally. and there's definitely no shortage of them. so this is going to be one of the big easy of the light be to see we're going to twenty. muscles

a few invading crabs and fish and of course. it's not often you get to eat seafood when it's this fresh unfortunately on an oyster boat there's no shortage of experience because. sooner or. later over the first three months excess in detroit of nature is great. you don't get much fresher than this. not to mention extremely tasty. so i had my long journey over. but i'm not sure that even the most generous marine biologist would count mussels among the small to gold screeches. that is intelligent animals hunting. well when you're behind a black sea tough to find. hello to.

say hello to zurich. three beautiful. they've been living in performing here of the dolphinarium for more than ten years. beginning technique down to a four. this is probably the best quickest way to make friends i think. this one. is the best way to get quickly. to share their breakfast. with the ladies claiming. they were.

since. around two hundred fifty. tips the scales are over three hundred but fortunately for every one. of the girls. can you imagine how many of these. and that means that he's quite. the tension.

of the season from people come to. think. this is the. james gets ready to take. and. possibly even mentions.

it's going to be in the first amazing experiences it is ahead of. me that juncture in this exclusive you can get to russia i'll tell you it doesn't make it and nothing ever will. go this amazing. although i could do with a lesson or two on how to gracefully exit a clue. and a beast way. to get my dinner. thankfully impeached dosing is a rare sight along the black sea coast but you can find quite a few unwelcome additions to the shoreline. unfortunately like many other resorts around the world a black sea coast has its own problems with but as they say sometimes one man's

trash can be another man's treasure or in this case another woman's treasure. what are the other ways probably in sacks production and some bottles. you can see waists from shoes production just like you almost. forty one here that i'm also falling still in and used sacks seven years ago a name in the key for of a gave up her practice is a doctor to become an artist and then mara mentalist. recycling is still rare in russia and discarded litter is a common sight nina has opened the white horse gallery to try and draw attention to the damage the waste is doing to the local area you're born it's always a pain to see the tone in into a garbage can i try to collect some of the rubbish but of course my efforts were in then 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 the litter i want them to remember my beloved black sea 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 contact stick there isn't the let's make a fish ok come on we're making a little addition from a news biggest installation a sculpture that's intended to represent the whole of the black sea the 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 look here is the tail and now we're going to color it and it will become absolutely fabulous start with. some painting. yes beautiful. turf ect and no you should shake it

a little bit to let the paint spread to. let the paint for. exactly sure what breed of fish we were creating but it was pretty colorful and once the finishing touches had been added it was ready to take its place in the gallery forward we go james and here is here. now you have your own back see that's right into the sea find a nice place for her hope she'll have a happy life. to me and think you can transform this rubbish into something really rather beautiful and hopefully the people who say it will be a think a little bit more chalk away that next plastic bottle. but taking a look at that sculpture of the black sea reminded me of another thing i had the time for yes. i've been so busy here in the coast my favorite thing to do is the seaside. and it is up here.

so far on my trip i have a chance to meet a few of the black seas marine animals but i've heard that up there in the hills there were plenty more who preferred troy. the least most of the time this isn't just an ordinary zoo it's a rescue and a retirement center for injured alex performing animals like better than was enjoying her early morning ball. more than sixty different species i met up with head keeper. until he started working here three years ago because i was a hunter but it seems like the animals don't bear any crunches. let's go. this is the himalayan band boat don't you want to say how long you want to have fun and

once he's only ten months old growing like a weed he's a fairly tough now but when he gets big. it's going to be about a hundred. and i think he's. having fun and biting everything in his meat. every careful. but. then if you think blues weightily meat is friends next door. being baby. with a spate of recent the zoo now has around three hundred animals and they've set up a nursery for their baby pig cats and why can't we all get along my place. my genes in my shoes are becoming a delicious treat and just a few months ago they welcomed one of the world's rarest animals this little is

adam a baby i want tiger and the son of to confiscate it tiger so he really is a little nervous. 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 and a bit of a killer and i'm hoping he's going to be gentle with me. here have been rescued from poachers or from circuses but some come from rather more unusual backgrounds. this is grigori he lived with their grandmother in know what i see 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 that grandmother is just too old to look after him.

i'm just trying to imagine a bad living in a granny flat now. big spare room with me. but never seemed to have such a bond of trust with so many different creatures it was like being around a real life doc to do little and hopes the fountains of visitors who come to the park take a new appreciation of the animals away with them. having survived my visit to the safari park with minor cuts and bruises i figured it was time to visit one of the black seas more sedate tourist attractions then 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 but we just call it strains in the two years i've been traveling around this country i've never seen one of those. it's a replica of a mill that was grinding flour 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 renamed sickle and hammer and wasn't until the early one nine hundred sixty s. . a few years ago the original mill was stripped transported and rebuilt and the old gears were given a new lease of life. but it really is a timeless bit of engineering. power and not energy. is then converted down here by these wheels. and this one is part of the original century mechanism still running today. which moves these two parts up into the grind. and we get flour.

and making it is a really simple process so. now follow me. here is a receiving. this weed here that's now in the process of how already underway plenty of. time for a small. ok so i've heard of a ploughman's lunch but i'm guessing this is a. milk. bread. this mill may be an example of the region's recent history but they're all relics. that date back to antiquity. this is the ancient 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 the nation city on the recent coast the greeks who settled here named their city after samarian king and its ruins cover around forty hacked it's still possible to wander through the so is of great houses and you can even discover the citizens favorite tipple. i bet the niche would have been one of the most popular places back in the days of because it's the remains of an ancient winery people would have crushed the grapes had the juice then would have come down these forests and into these enormous votes. show you. down here. unfortunately. well we've got now of course it is rain water back in the day this would have held the equivalent of thousand bottles. have been long since deserted but the descendants of its greek 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 crop comes from around this area and about to meet the people who make some of the best. these. grapes i believe yes and this is a very important son of you. and his family are almost ready to start making the latest batch of their famous brand name has a price tonight so much depending on the use of stretch i will set you back around fifty dollars but this match of grapes went destined for the. my father. oh yes the beginning. is

bringing in the harvest he likes to have a few friends and the old greek tradition. where it's. there was a pretty big power of grapes to crush so it seemed to take the. post to get everyone stomping away in a nice uniform rhythm but lumia greek slipping around on fifty kilos of grapes takes some doing. and i was about to get my reward from them being a foot. so i think. we definitely deserve a drink thank you very much. yes this is a bit. too close he was said to continue the thing but i wanted to take

a stroll across a number of months before i called my plane back to moscow. when it's this windy even plenty of warning won't keep you warm. my savior's would coast journey his son max who run a t.v. tools along with the units here. and 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 it was sad to be leaving the black sea coast it may not boast the infrastructure of some of the famous minutes of rain in resorts but with months of sunshine relatively low prices and no troublesome visa or a serious is easy to see one millions of russians come here for their summer holidays it's a place to relax bring the family and enjoy the warmest blue water that russia has to offer.
