With the onset of summer comes the holiday season. So the question arises where to spend it. It is desirable that the rest benefit all family members. An excellent place for this is the Crimean peninsula. There is entertainment for everyone here: historical monuments, warm and clear sea, dolphinariums and water parks. True, many are wondering how best to get to the Crimea. Port, plane or train - what to choose?
Let's go by train
For a long time, the easiest and cheapest way to get to Crimea was by train. In the summer season, their number even increased. So, trains from many stations in Russia regularly departed for Simferopol and Kerch. However, due to the unstable situation in the eastern regions of Ukraine, such a railway connection became impossible. Today it is organized somewhat differently - with a crossing through the port of Kerch. As a result, instead of 33 hours on the road, you will have to spend at least 44.
Severalyou can reduce the time spent on the train if you first get to Anapa or Krasnodar, and the rest of the way to the desired resort town is covered by bus. True, you still need a crossing. Port "Crimea" is one of the options for how to get to the other side of the Black Sea. In total, the journey will take about a day.
Fly by plane
Still, not everyone is ready to spend the whole day on the road. This is especially true for pregnant women and those traveling with children. For them, the best solution would be to use the services of air carriers. Only 2-3 hours of summer - and you can breathe in the Crimean air with full breasts. True, you will have to pay a little more for such comfort. In addition, the message is not established with all cities of Russia, which means that you may need a transplant. But the most important thing is that there is only one airport on the peninsula, and it is located in Simferopol. So wouldn't it be better to go to the Crimea in your car?
In your car
Real romantics and accustomed to traveling "savages", of course, prefer to go to the Crimea in their car. This method is convenient primarily because you can not stop at one place. Surely you want to see as many sights as possible. True, in this case, a reasonable question arises: "How to get to the Crimea?" Port "Caucasus" is the very place where you can cross over to the other side of the Black Sea, to the port "Crimea".
Previously sofew people liked to travel - by ferry. Mainly due to the fact that it was an international ferry. As a result, checking documents and goods at customs - first at the Russian, and then at the Ukrainian - took more than one hour. It seemed to many that it would no longer be possible to get to the Crimea. The port will simply be the first and last sight seen. However, after the peninsula became part of the Russian Federation, the ferry crossing began to take much less time.
Schedule of ferries
Port "Crimea" due to the large influx of tourists from Russia today is working just in emergency mode. If earlier it was possible to transport no more than 2,500 passengers per day to the other side, today, due to the abolition of customs control points and an increase in the number of ferries, its throughput has increased significantly. So, for the summer period, every half an hour, a new ferry goes from the port of Kavkaz to the port of Krym and back. In total, there are currently six of them.
However, despite this, the queue of cars from both sides has not yet decreased. It is also worth remembering that trains are also transported through the port "Crimea". Kerch, a major railway station, is not far away. By the way, this is the first attraction that should be visited on the peninsula. There are many historical monuments here. For example, the oldest port on the Crimean peninsula. The first mention of it can be found among the ancient Greeks.
Instead of a conclusion
Whichever one is chosenoption to visit the Crimea, - port, train or plane - all tourists are waiting for a warm welcome. Crimeans have always been distinguished by generosity and a particularly reverent attitude towards guests. And even though the service of this resort will not yet meet the world level, but in terms of the number of sunny days a year and the beauty of the sea coast, Crimea has long been ahead of everyone. The beauty of the peninsula captivated the hearts of many famous personalities: Chekhov, Gorky, Rotaru, Pugovkin and others.
