...lake's therapeutic value for centuries. Soviet apparatchiks were also fond of it, holidaying in one of the 40 workers' sanatoria built by the communist state around the lake's 600 km of shoreline. Today, many of these facilities - now privately run - are luring holidaymakers from further afield with cheap accommodation and treatment packages. West Europeans have been the first to catch onto this bargain, particularly young budget travelers - they make up almost half of the guests at the 143-room Aurora, sanatorium tel: (996-39) 437 3389.
