The first time you step off a small plane onto a runway lashed by the ocean on every side, it hits you immediately: Sitka, Alaska is a completely different world. An overcast sky, the ever-present scent of pine and salt, and then \u2014 right in the middle of the American wilderness \u2014 an Orthodox cathedral with onion-shaped domes. It looks as though someone took a slice of Tsarist Russia and accidentally dropped it into the heart of an Alaskan rainforest. And, as it happens, that’s pretty much what did happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This town, which absolutely no roads lead to, wins you over on day one. Maybe it’s the bald eagles perched on the spruce trees like pigeons back home, or maybe it’s sitting in a pub eating fresh salmon next to burly fishermen in rubber waders. Sitka is simply a place where the bloody history of Russian colonisers blends with the ancient culture of the Tlingit people and the wildest nature you can possibly imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll go from the Russian cathedral to bears, from orphaned eagles to whales that hunt inside rings of bubbles \u2014 I’ll simply show you twelve things that will make you fall head over heels for Sitka. And I’ll also tell you honestly what costs more here than you’d expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
