This is the fourth-largest lake-bound island in the world and for a step back in time, Olkhon Island is a wonderful place to visit and stay in Russia. Located about 250 km north-east from Irkutsk, it’s reachable overland or by the sea and here the culture of the local natives is remarkably well-preserved, so you can experience a unique corner of Russia in an authentic way.

This large island is in the middle of Lake Baikal, and its isolated location makes it both uncrowded and naturally breathtaking. If you’ve explored all the sites in metropolitan Russia and you’re looking for more, then this is the place in Russia to head to.
