The long-awaited holidays are coming soon, and many are already starting to think about where to spend their holidays. Undoubtedly, the majority prefers to spend their leisure time near the warm sea and bask in the bright rays of the sun. The most suitable place for such a pastime are the Crimean resort towns and villages. But those who are going to go there on their own in a private car should understand what you need to be prepared for and what roads are in Crimea.

State of highways

Today, about ninety percent of the peninsula's highways and highways are in need of repair. This conclusion was reached by specialists who examined the entire road network of the republic.

The Minister of Transport at a regular meeting said that roads in Crimea that are of social importance are currently being restored and restored, and an appeal has already been prepared addressed to the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic on additional funding for the repair and further maintenance of asph alt pavement in cities and areas of the peninsula.

The first way to travel to Crimea from Russia

If one of the tourists still decides to go independently to the shores of the Black Sea, then there are several route options for such a trip. The most common of these isroad Moscow-Crimea. First, from the capital, you will need to go to the Simferopol highway and drive through the following settlements: Tula, Kursk, Orel and Belgorod. Then, having reached the border, it is necessary to cross it in Kazachya Lopan. Thus, the further path will pass through the territory of Ukraine through the following cities: Kharkiv, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and Melitopol.

After that, Chongar follows, followed by Dzhankoy. Then it remains only to choose the desired resort of the republic and, having left on the roads in the Crimea, quickly get to the intended place.

The advantages of this method are a relatively short distance, the lowest fuel costs and the minimum travel time. But, if you choose this route at the very height of the season, there is a possibility of getting into a kilometer-long queue at the border, thereby losing several hours of your time.

Second route

Another of the most popular ways to get to the peninsula from Russia is the Don highway, passing through the following cities: Moscow, Rostov, Crimea. A segment of this route also runs through Ukrainian lands. To do this, you should first go from the capital through Voronezh, and then Rostov-on-Don. After that, you need to turn towards the west and move through Taganrog, approaching the border with Ukraine.

After the successful passage of the border guard, the route runs through Novoazovsk, Mariupol, Melitopol and Berdyansk. Having passed these settlements, you will need to turn south and get to Genichesk, and then the roads in Crimea begin.

The advantage of this routeis that most of the route passes through Russian cities, and the disadvantages include that it is much longer.

Third option

This way of travel provides not only a trip by car, but also a ferry crossing. It also passes through cities such as Moscow, Rostov, Crimea. Only in this case it will be necessary to turn not to Taganrog, but to Krasnodar. From there, the path will lead to Krymsk, Anapa and all the way to the Taman Peninsula, where the car is loaded onto the ferry. After a short trip on the water, the passenger, along with his car, ends up in Kerch and gets on the roads in Crimea.

The biggest plus of such a trip is that the entire route runs through the territory of Russia, and its serious disadvantage is the duration of the trip.

How else can you get from the capital to the Crimean peninsula?

According to avid travelers, this route is the most interesting and exciting. First, along the Don highway, you need to follow to Voronezh, and then go to the bypass road and head to Rossosh. After this settlement, you will need to turn to the village of Novobelaya, which is divided into two parts by the border between Russia and Ukraine. Next, you need to follow small towns such as Novopskov, Starobelsk, Novoaydar and Shchastia.

After them, the bypass Donetsk road leading to Mariupol immediately begins. Then follows Volodarskoye, Mangush, Berdyansk, and only after Melitopol you need to turn south, that is, toside of the Crimea. The first city to welcome tourists will be Dzhankoy.

The most significant advantage of this route is that it passes by all major cities. Therefore, the road promises to be quiet and calm. The disadvantage of this method can be considered that it is the longest.

Opinion of motorists

Tourists who came to the peninsula from Russia and personally tried the roads in the Crimea, the reviews about this trip left exceptionally good. Motorists appreciated not only the satisfactory quality of the tracks, but also a large number of roadside cafes and gas stations encountered during the trip.

Since the journey is long, there is always the opportunity to stay in cozy hotels and motels. Arriving in Crimea, vacationers also noted the good condition of the road surface, but still, in some places you can find unsuccessful sections.

Therefore, anyone who decides to get to the Crimean peninsula by car can choose any of the proposed routes and safely hit the road. Such a trip promises to be interesting and give a lot of positive impressions, regardless of the number of hours spent on the road.
