08:30 (local time hereafter. The difference from Moscow is 1 hour) Meeting with the guide (sign Zhiguli weekend) at the historical railway station Syzran 1.
Boarding the bus and the first taste of Syzran. Each tourist will receive a bottle of Dvortsovaya water. According to legend, it was the local water that was sent to St. Petersburg to the court of Catherine II. Indeed, artesian water is famous for its wonderful taste and beneficial qualities.
The beginning of acquaintance with merchant Syzran. The first exit is in the very heart of the city, near the only fragment of the ancient Kremlin that has been preserved in the Samara region, the Spasskaya Tower.
The ancient city was located at the confluence of rivers (the Volga and its 4 tributaries flow through Syzran), and we will admire the Kremlin tower, the ancient chapel (the oldest building in the province) and the beautiful panorama of the confluence of rivers.
The guide will show you the place where Syzran people grow the most delicious tomatoes, the "Syzran tomato", as it is called here, red, sweet, fleshy.
On your own – breakfast / coffee at the old Kremlin.
Departure to Samarskaya Luka. Once upon a time, on the territory of the modern Samara region, the Volga made a sharp turn, encircling the Zhiguli Mountains and forming the mysterious and very beautiful Samara Luka, the recognized pearl of the Volga.
We will drive along the Zhiguli hydroelectric dam, a unique hydraulic structure separating the Saratov and Kuibyshev reservoirs (our Zhiguli Sea).
Different ancient seas washed this territory, mammoths and dinosaurs swam here, the climate changed, but the glacier did not reach here, and the mountains did not allow the ancient seas to flood the Onion.
Therefore, like Noah's Ark, Samara Luka has preserved for us the relics (pre—glacial plants) that still live here, and the unique climate has given birth to endemic plants found nowhere else but the Zhiguli Mountains.
Excursion to Strelnaya mountain, route of Zhiguli Nature Reserve. This is a place of power and the amazingly beautiful peak of the Zhiguli Mountains. The altitude is 351 meters above sea level, but it is easy and comfortable to climb.
A comfortable staircase leads to the top, as if hovering over the Samara Bow.
The main thing when climbing is admiring the panorama and looking at endemic plants and relics, do not forget to make a wish at the "stone woman".
Imagine the dashing Volga Cossacks on the "devil's bridge", listen to the story that it was from this peak that Stepan Razin looked for merchant ships suitable for attack.
Transfer to Shiryaevo, which has the status of the most beautiful village in Russia.
15:00 Rural lunch with pie and tincture of Zhiguli cherry. Zhiguli cherry is a unique, extremely tasty and sweet variety, which was bred by Alexey Beshev in the middle of the last century.
The Beshchevskaya cherry grows on the limestone soils of the Zhiguli Mountains. At a small tasting – we will have liqueur and cherry pies — let's taste the Zhiguli!
Shiryaevo became the "place of power" of the artist Ilya Repin, who spent the whole summer of 1870 creating his famous painting "Boatmen on the Volga" here. They will tell us about this in the museum located in the house where Ilya Repin stayed with his artist friends.
Return to Tolyatti. The first acquaintance with the city – we will see the beautiful Zhiguli Sea at the monument to the founder of Stavropol (as Tolyatti was called until 1964), where the city was once located.
20:00 Approximate check-in time at the hotel.
