Piatigorsk option
Some times it is nice to leave from Baksan Valley 1 day earlier than scheduled flight from Min Vody and spend last night before leaving from the Caucasus at nice Piatigorsk town. It is works well if scheduled departure flight is at the morning or at least not so late in the day. It is ancient Russian mineral water resort with cool restaurants and nice atmosphere.

day last -1 |
Transfer to Piatygorsk, accommodation in Intourist hotel. Evening party is not included in trip price and paid by group members ( of course it is not obligatory condition but the food is nice and is not very expensive so group members always accept this proposal) |
