| Central Sochi The core of the city and its most developed and populated part. Many of the city attractions, hotels and most shopping centers are located there. During the summer season Central Sochi is usually overcrowded and traffic-jammed. |
| Lazarevskoe district (Ashe, Dagomys, Golovinka, Lazarevskoe, Loo (LO-Oh), Makopse, Solokhaul, Uchdere, Vardane, Volkonka) The largest (1744 sq. km) and the longest (65 km coastline) one among Sochi districts, includes 34 sub-districts, most of them are spread along the sea shore. Lazarevskoe district is less urbanized that other ones in Greater Sochi. In fact it has many various settlements, often poorly connected with each other and lacking in basic infrastructure. |
| Khosta district (Khosta, Kudepsta, Matsesta) Located to the south-east from Central Sochi, this district contains some major attractions, such as Akhun mountain. |
| Adler district (Adler, Imeretinskaya lowland, Krasnaya Polyana, Vesyoloe.) The city's important transport hub, which includes Sochi International Airport, Adler train terminal (final point for most trains going to Greater Sochi) and the only open border crossing with Abkhazia. The role of Adler is rapidly increasing now because it will host all the Olympic venues for the 2014 Games (the Olympic coastal cluster at Imeretinskaya lowland and the mountain cluster at Krasnaya Polyana). The district currently looks like a single huge construction site (certainly, the works cause traffic problems). By 2014 the look of Imeretinskaya lowland and Krasnaya Polyana will change completely, as well as the local transport infrastructure. |
The best developed, urbanized and monolithic part of Greater Sochi is the coastline between Dagomys (south-east of Lazarevskoe district) and Imeretinskaya lowland of Adler district.
