Orlinye Skaly, Rock formation viewing point in Khostinsky district, Sochi, Russia.

Located 379 meters above the Agur gorge, Eagle Rocks presents limestone cliffs rising against the Black Sea and Caucasus Mountains backdrop.

The rock formation served as a key navigation point for ships traversing the Black Sea coast throughout numerous centuries.

Ancient Greek mythology connects these cliffs to Prometheus, who according to legend was chained here after giving fire to humans.

Visitors can reach Eagle Rocks via buses 48, 50, or 105 to Sanatorium Green Grove, followed by a 3.5-kilometer walk on natural stone steps.

The site features a cave accessible by metal ladder and provides views extending from Mount Ahun to the Black Sea waters.
