Tour with a Native of Plyos

We invite you on an exciting journey through the old Plyos with an experienced guide, Svetlana — a person who knows this city from childhood and carefully preserves its stories and traditions. In two hours of walking, you will discover Plyos as only the locals see it.

You will climb Cathedral Hill, where you will admire the picturesque Volga expanses and learn the history of the 17th-century Assumption Cathedral — from its closure to its restoration. You will stroll through the birch grove, which Levitan loved to visit, and visit the historic Bazaar Square — learn about Plyos merchants, trading traditions, and even the first cash register.

A pleasant walk will lead you to the Volga embankment and the quiet streets of Zarechye. On Nikolskaya Street, you will discover the secrets of old window frames, and in conclusion, hear legends and myths about the Plyos dragon and the mysterious owl.

If desired, Svetlana will complement the tour with a tasting of local gastronomic specialties — Plyos corner and "beaten" soup, and if you're lucky, you'll hear the sounds of the forest flute "ocarina".
