Many people, in order to come on vacation or just on business, overcome the Gelendzhik-Sochi route. How to get there? This is the first question that arises in connection with this. It should be noted that there are a lot of options.
By sea
And one of those is a passenger catamaran, whose name is “Sochi-1”. Flights run every other day - on odd numbers, the ticket price for this type of transport is as follows: for adults - 1200 rubles, for children under 12 years old - 600 rubles, and for very young passengers (up to three years old) - free of charge. In general, it will take four and a half hours to go by sea from Gelendzhik to Sochi. On the way, the catamaran passes Tuapse (arrival two hours later from departure) and Lazarevskoye - three hours later. By the way, if a person takes a ticket in both directions at once, then he is given a discount. And, I must say, this is one of the most picturesque ways to overcome the path from Sochi to Gelendzhik or vice versa.
Self-planning
If a person decides to cover the distance along the Gelendzhik-Sochi route, then there are a lot of options for this. Any person wants to get to the necessary city as quickly as possible. And one of the best ways to achieve this goal is to carefully think over the shortest Gelendzhik-Sochi route. The first step is to find out about the distance that separates the point of departure and the end point of the route. This can be seen on the map. Then, knowing the average speed of the vehicle, you can easily calculate the time that will have to be spent on the road. So, the distance "Gelendzhik-Sochi" is 246 kilometers. It can be overcome in about four hours. And now about working with the map. The route search system itself will find the most optimal option and offer it to the person. Then he will see a diagram on which the settlements encountered on the way are clearly marked. Information will also be provided regarding traffic police posts located along this route - this way it will be possible to better navigate in areas that are unfamiliar to the driver. Following a carefully planned route is the best way to minimize the potential for problems that often arise in unfamiliar terrain.
Intercity bus services
If there is no opportunity to go by your own car, then for such cases there is another option to overcome the route "Sochi-Gelendzhik" - the bus! Popular and very easy. You just need to come to the box office and, voicing the right direction, buy a ticket. Transit flights on this route are carried out four times a day: halften in the morning, at noon, at eight o'clock in the evening and at eleven. Times may vary, so please check with the box office. The number of hours that will need to be spent on the road also varies - it all depends on the route that the bus follows. So it will not be difficult to overcome the Sochi-Gelendzhik route. Bus timetables can be found at the box office.
Route
So, the shortest route "Gelendzhik-Sochi" is directly through several points that it is desirable to designate for yourself. These are Dzhubga, Novomikhailovsky, Tuapse, Lazarevsky, Golovinka, Big Sochi and already the final stop - Sochi. Along the way, there are a lot of small villages like Vishnevka, Volkonka or Vardane, but they are usually passed through in transit (meaning a regular bus).
Costs
If you go by yourself, then in addition to the route, you also need to calculate the fare. This refers to the consumption of gasoline. So, approximate calculations are as follows: a passenger car spends eight liters of gasoline per hundred kilometers. Taking into account the fact that the distance from Sochi to Gelendzhik is 246 km, about twenty liters will be required. Add to this the fuel consumption for small journeys, also what will go away during downtime in traffic jams (which may well be on the outskirts of the city), you should stock up on five more liters on top. It's better than looking for a gas station later to "feed" your car. Many travel to Gelendzhik from Krasnodar, as this is one of the best and most convenient resort options for residents of the regional capital. Andthe most popular route runs through the Don federal road (M-4). And those tourists who travel, for example, from Rostov, may face some difficulties. When approaching the capital from Rostov-on-Don, one must be careful, because if you miss the turn to Dzhubga, you can get into Krasnodar itself and lose a lot of valuable time. But in fact, everything is not so difficult. The road to Dzhubga, going through the overpass, leads to the left, straight towards the coast. Here you need to move straight along it and not turn anywhere, until the moment when a fork in Novorossiysk or Sochi appears in sight. So, before you go on vacation or business, you need to carefully consider your route in order to get to your destination safely and without problems.
