Summer is coming, it's time for holidays and trips to the sea. Where should a Russian tourist go? Crimea is a great option, especially considering that the automobile part of the Kerch Bridge has already been put into operation. However, you still need to get to this very bridge, for example, along the route Moscow - Kerch.
A national pride
Recently, Crimea has been a subject of national pride for Russians, just like the bridge. Today, when there are no problems in order to get to the peninsula without queuing for the ferry, the Russians are simply obliged to support the domestic resort region. Many vacationers are already actively sharing their impressions about the trip along the Kerch-Moscow route. Basically, of course, they admire the bridge and the quality of the roadway of the new section of the federal highway passing through the territory of the Krasnodar Territory.
It is theoretically possible to get to the Crimea through the territory of Ukraine. Yes, it's shorter and faster. However, it is very difficult to explain to the Ukrainian border guards the purpose of the visit. It will be especially difficult to pass onpeninsula. Therefore, it is best not to consider the option of transit through the territory of Ukraine at all.
The road in Russia makes a small bend and takes a lot of time. It passes through Rostov-on-Don and many other noteworthy Russian cities.
The train does not go any further
Currently there are no trains on the route Moscow - Kerch. This is due to the fact that the railway part of the Kerch bridge has not yet been completed. The ferry does not accept rail vehicles.
However, this does not mean that this mode of transport is not available. Numerous travelers travel by train to cities such as Anapa or Krasnodar. There are regular bus routes from there, for which you can buy a ticket directly at the box office of railway stations. You can, of course, take a taxi and rent a car for the whole vacation, this service is also in high demand.
Bus tours
The second most popular mode of transport is the bus. Surprisingly, in the age of affordable air travel, it is still in demand. The bus Moscow - Kerch runs along the general automobile route and follows the bridge. The only plus of this type of transport is that the cost of a ticket is cheaper than the total cost of a trip by private car. This is a great option for those who suffer from aerophobia, do not like reserved seat train cars and do not have a private car.
By air
The most demanded transport is air. Today a ticket for a flight to Crimeacomparable in price to the cost of a railway ticket to Krasnodar in a compartment car. Only now from Krasnodar to Kerch it takes about four hours by bus, and if you need to get to the Southern coast of Crimea, then even more than 10 hours. The plane will fly to Simferopol in just two and a half hours. From there, even by bus it will be cheaper and faster to get to any point of Crimea.
Private car
To get from Moscow to Kerch by car is quite simple. The state of federal highways is very worthy. If the final amount of fuel does not overshadow the trip, then the trip will be very memorable. Many interesting cities, changing landscapes and complete freedom of choice of road - all this makes the romance of car travel.
However, you should be careful with navigators. Maps from companies such as Yandex and Google pave the way not through the bridge, but through the Kerch ferry crossing. Unlike the bridge, you will have to pay for the crossing.
Distance
The distance between Kerch and Moscow is quite large. On the most popular automobile route, it is about 1530 km! It's unlikely to be shortened. It should also be understood that the time spent on the road to the bridge is still less than the waiting time for the ferry. Thus, the Kerch bridge is the best option.
To Simferopol
The distance from Moscow to Simferopol via Kerch is about 1760 km. It should be taken into account that the Crimean sectionthe high-speed federal highway is still not completed. Most of the road to Simferopol is in satisfactory condition.
