Where is Kudepsta located in Sochi?
The village is comfortably nestled in the valley between the river of the same name and the rivulet flowing from it, called the Zmeyka. Both of them descend from the mountains and strive towards the Black Sea.
The area in which the village is located is very different from the nearby Khosta: it is smoother, and therefore more convenient for walking. Despite the fact that Adler is only about five kilometers away, according to the maps, the village is part of the Khosta district. Sochi is only seventeen kilometers from it.

You can get there from the Sochi railway station, but this will take more time. The distance from the airport to the village is less than eight kilometers.
