Pljos (Russian: Плёс) is a small town on the Volga and lies between Kostroma and Nizhny Novgorod in Central Russia.
background
The small town lies on the right bank of the Volga. It originated in the 12th century, was a trading center for textiles in the 17th and 18th centuries and lost its importance because it is located off the railway lines. In the last few years the number of inhabitants - like almost in the whole region - has decreased slowly and steadily. In return, the place was preserved in its original state, the town lives from numerous well-kept wooden houses, from numerous churches and a picturesque landscape. The Russian landscape painter Isaac Lewithan lived and worked here for a few years. Pljos is a climatic health resort and a popular tourist destination.
