Solovki. Russian North
Solovetsky islands strike with gorgeous Northern nature and horrifying history of GULAG. Surrounded by the White Sea they are hard to access due to rather changing weather conditions.Navigation is mainly available regularly from June to August. The best way to get there will be to take a night train from St. Petersburg to Kem, a short ride by taxi and a boat to the main island.
Consider this trip if:
- you are looking for beyond the ordinary destination
- would like to see Northern Russia nature
- you love photography, this place offers myriad of photo opportunities
- reveal the secrets of stone labyrinthes dating to the times of Stonehenge
- learn more about the horrifying history of GULAG
