The remote Sakhalin and Kuriles are located at the far east of Russia. These are rather hard to reach, but the journey there is worth all the difficulties. The Iturup Island is the largest of the numerous islands of the Kuril chain. It is rich in attractions and boasts many natural and historical monuments which are the best places to reload and harmonize.
