It was these places that inspired Isaac Levitan, and many travelers even compare Plyos with Switzerland. It's so beautiful, calm, and colorful here.
Plyos is one of the smallest cities in Russia. Chamber and colorful, he falls in love with himself the first time. The total area of the city is only 3 km2 and can be easily explored on foot. Just don't be in a hurry. This city, which lies on the banks of the Volga, disposes to leisurely walks.
The best way to start your acquaintance with the city is from the promenade along the embankment. Be sure to drop by local cafes and stroke the Plyos cat for good luck - the town's symbol, not far from the pier. This is a monument to the cat of the artist Vitaly Panchenko, whose name was Mukha.
