The question of whether there is an airport in Novorossiysk worries many who decide to relax in Russia on the Black Sea coast. There are several options for getting to these places by air, for those who love flying.
Unfortunately, the city does not have its own airport. Novorossiysk is located between two other air harbors located not far from it. Although, if you wish, you can use other airports, to which the distance is a little more.
Gelendzhik Airport
The closest one is Gelendzhik airport. Novorossiysk is only 40 kilometers away. The airport has been operating recently, since 2010, and is intended for communication between Russian cities.
To get from it to Novorossiysk is more convenient and faster than a taxi. You can take regular buses to the Gelendzhik bus station, and then transfer to a bus to Novorossiysk.
Vityazevo Airport
Another air port is 62 kilometers from the desired destination. This is Vityazevo - Anapa airport. Novorossiysk is only an hour away from it. Vityazevo has international status and is more famous.
The message here is also bus, but more tourists prefer taxis.
Other options
If you decide to get to the Black Sea coast by plane, then you can safely take a ticket to Krasnodar. Here you will be received by the Pashkovsky airport. Novorossiysk, however, is located 165 kilometers from here, but it is not possible to overcome this distance on foot. It just takes a little more time and money to get to the place.
You can get to Novorossiysk by train, train or bus. The train will spend only a little over two hours on the road, and traffic jams will certainly not interfere with it. And the cost of the ticket is small, within 350 rubles. About the same, or slightly less, a bus and train ticket costs.
And one more alternative - Sochi International Airport Adler. It is 311 kilometers away. But here you can linger and admire the facilities that were built for the 2014 Olympic Games. After all, tourists are inquisitive people, and there is certainly something to see. There is a bus from the Sochi bus station to Novorossiysk. Flights depart four times a day, the fare is approximately 500 rubles.
Conclusion
Thus, the nearest airport to Novorossiysk is Gelendzhik for domestic flights and Vityazevo for international flights.
It must be remembered that if you booked accommodation in advance, then many hosts provide a free transfer to the station, airport and back, or for an additional fee, but it is usually much more profitable thantaxi drivers. So check this question when booking.
