The world capital of caviar. Located on the Volga Delta Astrakhan is a bustling port city that date backs to the days of the Golden Horde.
As the largest Delta in Europe, the place where the mighty Volga flows into the Caspian Sea is a wonderland of unique wildlife, found nowhere else in Russia. Amongst the fertile reeds of the delta
flamingoes, pelicans, beluga sturgeon, and square miles of lotuses flourish and provide a colorful and rare delight in a country that is so often covered in great blankets of ice and snow.
