Visitor Center, Елизово

I came here to ask for available accommodation and tours in July 2016. The staff partly spoke English and was very helpful. I can recommend this place to any visitor of Kamchatka!

I visited the Yelizovo Visitor Center in August 2014 during my 2 weeks in Kamchatka (this my third visit). The staff spoke little English but I did have my dictionary and a very helpful Russian customer that spoke fluent English. After getting some materials on the places I would be visiting during my trek, I inquired (again with help from the English speaking client) where I could fix or purchase my reading glasses. A discussion ensued, and the client informed me that the woman running the Center will close the office for lunch and take me to a nearby shop. After a short wait she did exactly that – the shop was a few blocks away. I made the purchase and thanked everyone profusely (and now I am sure to carry at least one spare set of reading glasses). So I continue to find the folks in this area very helpful and friendly!
