Sestroretsk is an amazingly beautiful suburb of St. Petersburg. An ancient Russian city in the south of the Karelian Isthmus. Echoes of a glorious history resound here at every turn.

The city also has an unofficial name - Northern Riviera. In order to improve their he alth at a balneological resort, not only residents of St. Petersburg, but also guests from all over the country come here.

Here, on the very shore of the Gulf of Finland, the Calypso restaurant is comfortably and solemnly located. Sestroretsk invites its guests to visit this incredibly beautiful place on Primorskoye Highway, in the resort area "Dunes".

Love at first sight

Calypso Restaurant (Sestroretsk) is noticeable from afar and cannot but arouse love and admiration at first sight. Long open summer terraces against the backdrop of the bay resemble the deck of a motor ship.

From the radiant whiteness blinds the eyes. Everything is snow-white here: wooden tables and chairs lined up in even rows from the sea,leather cozy sofas, a wooden through crate running along the top of the open openings.

Light curtains made of natural fabrics swell from the sea breeze and become so similar to sails that it seems: just about all this structure will move from its place, there, towards the white lambs, into which the waves rolling on the shore are twisted. From the contemplation of the sea panorama is breathtaking.

The color of the oncoming waves is constantly changing: either silvery, gray, shrouded in crashing foam splashes, or saturated blue-green. The sound of the waves is soothing and relaxing.

Bright sunlight does not interfere with enjoying the rest, because a light gray awning is stretched over the entire terrace, giving a saving shade.

The feeling of the holiday is complemented by bright color accents - fresh flowers stand on the tables and hang in flower pots: petunias, gypsophila, gerberas.

Banquet hall for cloudy weather

When the city of Sestroretsk meets with rainy windy weather, as well as in the winter season, you can stay in a closed banquet hall that can accommodate 150 people.

There is an atmosphere of calm and tranquility. A sense of taste, dignity and nobility are felt in everything. Provencal design style, natural wood, canvases imitating old paintings. Wall lamps are like ship portholes. Aquariums with starfish and incredibly beautiful algae.

Crackling wood in the fireplace and huge panoramic windows overlooking the bay - a wonderful option for a wedding celebration, a romantic meeting, a family holiday, an official reception,prom.

While the parents are relaxing in the restaurant, the kids enjoy exploring the surroundings. The nature here is delightful: tall pines and deciduous trees, dense bright green bushes, thickets of blueberries.

An unexpected landscape sculpture touches: next to a paved path, surrounded by taggets, either a hedgehog or a porcupine lurks, flowers instead of quills, a long curious nose stretched towards the restaurant.

Carved letters on a wooden sign indicate the direction of the he alth path - this is a great opportunity to stroll through the forest park area with the maximum healing effect.
