- Tour to Russian North. St. Petersburg & Solovetsky islands, 5 days

"Russian North. St. Petersburg & Solovetsky islands, 5 days"

One of the most important holy sites are the Solovetsky Islands in the far North of Russia in the White Sea. They breath history, mixing the secular and the spiritual. The prospect of solitude drew the first Russians here. Early in the 15th century, two monks debarked on the island’s northern coast, seeking a place of religious retreat amid pristine taiga and bog. They initiated cloistral traditions that led, soon after, to the founding of Solovetsky Monastery.
