Khosta Microdistrict

Khosta (Russian: Хоста) is a microdistrict in Khostinsky City District in Sochi, Krasnodar Krai, Russia, primarily known as a spa and a resort on the Black Sea coast.

In the Middle Ages, Republic of Genoa established a colony (Costa) at the location of modern Khosta.

After the Russo-Turkish War of 1828–29 it was occupied by the Russian Empire, and the whole population was eventually resettled to Turkey.
