Recharging is only a Hop Skip and Jump away from St. Petersburg city center
If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of a big city like Saint Petersburg, Ilichevo is a great choice. The resort is located only 90 km from the city and is well connected to it. Perfectly located at beautiful Dolgoe Lake, it attracts people from the city all year round.

I recommend reserving at least 2 days to get a full experience Ilichevo has to offer – magnificent pine tree wood, comfortable accommodation, traditional Russian activities such as banya, fishing, and boating.

Just the other summer day, I visited the Ilichevo resort with my family. We really enjoyed walking along the lake, breathing the aroma of pine trees, and having a great time talking and laughing. In just 2 days we forgot about all the stress and recharged our emotional batteries.
