Sochi Airport – International airport Sochi Adler is located 7 km from the Olympic Park where the match will take place. For visitors from abroad, the most convenient way to get to Sochi is via Moscow or Istanbul.
Two hotels are given where the standard rooms rent for EUR 88 or EUR 40 per night.
Three restaurants are mentioned. O’Sullivan’s Irish Pub features American dishes, beer, sider (cider?) and ends with the enigmatic “we have tried (fried?) burgers and Black Sea mussels”.
Sounds like the perfect place for a Saturday rapid tourney.
