How to get to Crimea

How to get to Crimea cheaply by bus?

You cannot buy a ticket for a bus as much in advance as for a train, and this is an important drawback especially for those who are used to planning everything in advance.

Practice shows that the cheapest way to get to Crimea is by purchasing tickets not for regular buses at the bus station, but by finding private carriers. But the main risk here is that in the absence of the required number of people, the car often does not leave. That is, this method will not work if vouchers have already been purchased for specific dates.

That is, it is better to purchase a bus ticket to Crimea centrally and in advance

But if the vacation is not scheduled for specific dates and this is not fundamentally important, then you can give preference to a private carrier

The advantage of traveling to Crimea by bus is speed and comparative cheapness. You can get there by bus very quickly, without long stops. However, this method is often less preferable for families with small children who may get motion sickness on the road. Also, if you need to travel from afar, it will not be very convenient in terms of sleep: on the train this can be done much easier. Another important disadvantage of bus transportation is that this way you won’t be able to take a lot of luggage with you.

Conclusion: traveling to Crimea by bus is an excellent option for young people or people traveling for a short time.

How to get to Crimea

Let's fly to Crimea by plane! When is the best time to buy a ticket to save money?

In total, about 20 companies offer flights from mainland Russia to Simferopol. Each of them has its pros and cons. You should focus primarily on those proposals that are outlined for a specific locality. Often, 3-4 flights are offered from each airport to Simferopol.

The cost of an air ticket to Crimea depends on many factors. If the tickets are last minute, they are cheaper. But this method is suitable only for easy-going people, and also if there is no preliminary hotel reservation for the exact date. Otherwise, the price will be lower for flights with transfers, but this is not a very convenient option.

Comfort remains the primary factor. But, as practice shows, even in economy class you can fly quite comfortably. Moreover, often the journey does not take that much time.

You should only take into account the fact that in any case you will need to travel from Simferopol by bus or taxi to your final destination.

This method is very convenient, but is not suitable for those who have too many things. If we consider the risks (this is why many people avoid planes), then according to statistics they are very small and no more than when traveling by train or own car.

For residents of remote regions, for example, Moscow, Volgograd, Yekaterinburg, this is the only possible way to get to Crimea, since they cannot spend a lot of time traveling by train or by car.

How to get to Crimea

Option 3 ferry and car route

A personal car is the best way to travel. There is no option that would offer greater freedom in how to get to Alushta. You can completely plan the entire route and outline a number of places along the way that you can visit. Also - no connection to the public transport schedule, with the exception of the ferry.

But in any case, from Moscow to Alushta, which is 1440 km, through Krasnodar. From Krasnodar to Alushta there will be only 450 km to travel. And the path will pass through the port of Kavkaz, Kerch and Feodosia. And then - along the South Coast or through Simferopol. The first option is faster.

But in any case, without the ferry, the Kerch Strait, even though it is only 4 km. in length, do not swim across. The ferry goes in both directions every hour around the clock. Ticket prices for adults are 162 rubles, for young passengers under 12 years old – 81 rubles, under 6 years old – absolutely free. Transporting a car will be more expensive - 1190 - 2486 rubles. By the way, the driver and passengers are also required to buy tickets.

In general, everything looks great, but there is one small nuance, or rather two. The first one is the queue. It is always huge, so you will have to wait a lot of time on the shore of the strait. The second interesting point is the weather conditions. Strong waves or fog - the crossing does not work. So at this point you should be patient and wait. Otherwise, the road will not be particularly difficult.

How to get there with your own car?

Traveling by your own car is considered one of the best ways to get to Alushta.

Traveling by car has the following advantages:

• You can plan the entire route;
• Places that can be visited along the way are marked;
• There is no connection to the public transport schedule, except for the ferry crossing;
• There are no problems with luggage or harmful companions.

Interesting facts about the peninsula

The road to Crimea passes through Krasnodar, from which it is 450 km to Alushta. In this case, you will need to travel through Kerch and Feodosia. Then the highway goes through Simferopol. You can drive along the South Coast.

The distance from Kerch to Alushta is 236 km. From Yalta 37 km.

All motorists will have to cross the Kerch Strait. In this case, you will need to stand in line.

Advice! At the crossing you will need passports and birth certificates of children. It is worth stocking up on food and water so as not to buy them at exorbitant prices at the port.

To Alushta by train

The train option is not the most optimal, since you will spend a lot of time on the way. Unfortunately, there are no direct trains from Russia to Simferopol, but you can get to one of the southern cities.

There is a direct train from Moscow to Krasnodar, which arrives at the central station in 19 hours. Ticket prices range from 3,500 to 31,000 rubles.

The most affordable tickets are sold for train 083C. By choosing this composition, you will spend about 30 hours on the road.

Tourists note that it is worth trying a trip to Simferopol on a single ticket to Crimea. That is, you pre-purchase a ticket that includes travel by train, ferry crossing and transfer from the port to the cities of Crimea by bus.

It is also quite possible to get to Alushta thanks to the Moscow-Anapa route. Train number 012M departs from the Kazansky station and arrives at its final destination in 23 hours. If you prefer a reserved seat car, you will pay about 4,000 rubles. A luxury seat will cost you 14,000 rubles.

  Two buses leave daily from Sudak to Alushta at 06:05 and 15:40 (return 09:10, 17:05), cost 114 rubles, the journey takes 2 and a half hours.

By car

Getting to Moscow from Alushta is not at all so easy. The distance between the cities is about 1800 km. The road will be difficult. Along the way you need to make at least one overnight stop. It is most convenient to do it in Rostov-on-Don, after you have passed the most difficult part of the journey.

After Rostov you take the M4 highway to Moscow. The speed limit on the highway almost everywhere (not counting populated areas) is 90 km/h. There are many cameras installed, so it is better to comply with it. Also, after Voronezh there will be several sections of the toll road, the total cost of travel along them for a passenger car will be about 400 rubles.

I also recommend calculating the time of entry into Moscow. It is better not to do this in the morning on weekdays or on Sunday evenings, as heavy traffic jams are possible.

Travel time, not counting stops, will be about a day.

Getting to Alushta by plane and trolleybuses Option 1

When thinking about how to get to Alushta by plane, you should take into account that you will have to travel with transfers. The airport is located in Simferopol, but there are no problems getting there. A ticket to Simferopol can be purchased without problems in Moscow, Arkhangelsk, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Magnitogorsk, Rostov-on-Don, Tyumen and Voronezh.

And upon arrival, right at the exit from the terminal you can see trolleybuses No. 55 to Yalta and 54 to Alushta. You can board any of them, since the path to Yalta goes through Alushta. The price of a ticket to Alushta will be 66 rubles. The main thing is to warn the driver about your destination.

You can use minibuses and get to the train station. Trolleybuses No. 51 to Alushta and No. 52 to Yalta always go from there. Their parking lot is located under the clock tower. You can also buy a ticket there for 55 rubles.

Trolleybus is a budget option. Tickets are cheap, there are no amenities, especially in the summer, when you have to stand for 2 hours due to the large influx of tourists. Therefore, it is used only by those who do not mind their own nerves. The ticket price is minimal, but it is always preferable to use the services of the Kurortnaya , which is located directly opposite the trolleybus parking lot at the Railway Station. Also for only 106 rubles. You can go by bus directly from the airport.
