Tours for May in Russia
Hot tours Worldwide

Back in the days Russian Empire was known healing power resorts black sea coast, "on the waters" the inhabitants of the most distant Russian provinces gathered, they were replaced by vacationers with trade union vouchers, then the rest on the Black Sea became truly massive. Every year, before the buds swell on the trees, vacationers stuff their suitcases with swimsuits, shorts and flip flops and go to improve their health and mood. However, not everything is so simple: you still need to get to the sea coast, and this is often not the closest way.

By rail, you can reach almost any Black Sea resort, only in some cases you will have to do a transplant.

Despite the development of air travel, now, like decades ago, many vacationers prefer rail tours. The demand for trains can hardly be overestimated: when planning a trip to the Black Sea coast, vacationers face the problem of acquiring railway tickets. On popular destinations they sell like hot cakes within hours of being on sale. By rail, you can get to almost any Black Sea resort, only in some cases you will have to make a transfer.

Resorts of the Krasnodar Territory

Rail network Krasnodar Territory covers all major resort towns and large towns. The railway tracks stretched along the entire coast of the Black Sea from Tuapse to Adler (the length of the main tracks is 2770 km); directly by train you can get to Anapa, Novorossiysk, Sochi and many other resorts. IN summer time passenger traffic increases by 3 times at once. If you plan to stay in Anapa or Sochi, expect that it will take you about a day and a half to get from Moscow one way, you can get to Gelendzhik somewhere in a little over a day.

Resorts of Abkhazia

Passing along the Black Sea coast Railway does not end in Adler, but goes further into Abkhazia, so getting to Abkhazian resorts is no more difficult than getting to Krasnodar ones.

After the recent restoration of tracks in the village of Veseloe between Russia and Abkhazia, a stable railway connection has been established, now several direct trains go there: train No. 305C Moscow - Sukhum, trains No. 579B Voronezh - Sukhum and No. 479A St. Petersburg - Sukhum. Customs and passport control passengers pass directly on the train (in Abkhazia - at the Tsandripsh station), it takes about 30 minutes for everything about everything, then the train enters the territory of Abkhazia. It should be noted that this is a rather slow train, it moves especially slowly across the Abkhazian land, so you will have a great opportunity to see surrounding nature from the windows of the train. Speaking in numbers, it will take you about 43 hours to travel from Moscow to Sukhum.

Stops on the territory of Abkhazia: Tsandripsh, Gagra, Gudauta, New Athos.

Throughout holiday season trains from Moscow to Abkhazia leave every day, since October their number has been reduced to one flight every few days.

If you failed to get tickets for the Sukhumi train, do not despair: take train tickets to Adler, from there, upon arrival by taxi, minibus or bus, you will reach the border. There, after crossing two posts, you will find yourself on the territory of Abkhazia, or rather on large area where is the bus stop fixed-route taxis and private traders. It opens the way to any resort Abkhazian city.

What could be better than a holiday by the sea! Buying train tickets during the holiday season is incredible difficult task. In addition, the cost of travel costs a fairly significant amount. That is why many vacationers prefer to go to the coast on their own. How to get to the Black Sea by car? Which routes are the most comfortable for traveling? You will learn about this from our article.

By car to the Black Sea - a budget option travel for the whole family.

By car to the Black Sea: several convenient routes

It is most convenient to get to the territory of the Crimean peninsula through Krasnodar region. But you need to remember that the roads passing directly through the city of Krasnodar are very often overloaded. And if you choose this route, then you need to be prepared for traffic jams and long traffic jams.

Quite convenient in terms of travel to the Black Sea coast route - Rostov - Sochi. If you do not take into account the delays when traveling through Krasnodar, then you can get to the sea relatively quickly and comfortably. The road surface throughout this section of the path is good.

The second option of the route is through the city of Kropotkin. You can get to Sochi through the city of Kropotkin, following from Rostov. The road is quite comfortable, with the exception of the segment between the cities of Tikhoretsk and Kropotkin. This is a standard two-lane track with a length of 80 kilometers.

Given that there are quite a lot of cars moving in both directions, it will not be possible to develop a high speed of movement. The rest of the track meets modern standards: a smooth surface and several lanes in each direction

It is worth noting that the journey to the Black Sea through Rostov to Sochi, passing through Krasnodar, is somewhat shorter than through Kropotkin. But choosing the second option of the route, you can avoid long traffic jams and forced "rest" in the heat. It is also convenient to get to the sea coast through Kropotkin by car from Pyatigorsk and Armavir.

A trip by car to the coast along the route through Armavir - Maykop - Tuapse - Sochi will be convenient if travelers approach the Black Sea from Pyatigorsk, Armavir or Stavropol. The path will turn out to be a little shorter - by about 120 kilometers - but this may not affect the time spent on the road.

A big plus of this route is the ability to bypass many traffic jams that cannot be avoided when traveling through Krasnodar. A feature of the road is beautiful landscape behind the windows.

Where to go to the Black Sea by car

There are many places on the Black Sea coast where you can have a great rest. But the most popular traditionally are the following:

Sochi. The place is great for families with children. Since the city is located in the subtropical zone, it is warm here all year round.

· Anapa. The sun shines in the sky here almost 280 days a year. A unique mix of steppe, mountain and sea air, healing mud And mineral water– everything you need for a successful holiday is available in Anapa.

· Gelendzhik. The city blooms already in March, and the hottest months are July and August.

· Tuapse. The local sea is ideal for diving enthusiasts.

· Yalta. The sea here stays warm until the very end beach season. You can come to Yalta in September - October: the sea is still warm, but the sun is not so hot anymore.

Evpatoria. You can go on vacation here in the spring. Evpatoria is simply created for children: the sea here is shallow and clean.

Theodosius. Beautiful resort town with its leisurely life, it is perfect for a relaxing family vacation. There are many beautiful places around the city.

These were big cities, but vacations can also be spent in young resorts. For example, on such as Beregovoe, Peschanoe or Nikolaevka, located near Simferopol.

Are you going to go on vacation to the south and are planning a route? This material is for you. Let's talk about the main ways to get to the Black Sea. Of course, depending on the points of departure and destination, the travel budget and travel time will be different. We will now consider as an example a trip from Moscow to Sochi.

Airplane is the fastest way to get to the sea

A couple of hours - and you are by the sea! The flight time from Moscow to Sochi is only 2 hours 20 minutes (depending on the flight, it may vary slightly). And the tickets are worth, you won't believe it - the economy class is about 3000 rubles. (for individual flights - 1965 rubles). We did a search through Skyscanner and looked at the dates for October 2016.

The flight is a great option for those who do not like to shake for a long time on the train or who are tired long trips by car, as well as for those who value their time and do not have the opportunity to kill a couple of days on the road. By plane you will get there quickly and comfortably, we can say that you won’t even have time to look back when you find yourself on a sunny beach.

The train is the choice of true romantics

Reading your favorite book under the sound of wheels, enjoyment beautiful scenery outside the window, the incessant smell of Doshirak and the most incredible acquaintances - all this can give you a trip by train.

Travel time is approximately 1 - 1.5 days. And this pleasure will cost, oddly enough, even more expensive than an airplane (from 3 to 7 thousand rubles for a trip in a reserved seat). Of course, the alignment may be different from other cities (for example, from Kazan we can find a train ticket for 3,000 rubles, and we can fly to Sochi for 5,000 - 7,000 rubles).

To the Black Sea by car

We must pay tribute to fans of automotive romance. This type of travel provides a lot of advantages: you travel only with those with whom you want, you do not depend on anyone - you can stop at any time, take a walk, have a bite, see beautiful places.

The journey takes approximately 20 hours (1620.8 km) via the Don/E115/M4 a/d. With an average consumption of gasoline, the journey will cost about 8,000 - 10,000 rubles. (round trip). If you are going to several people, then this type of travel will be very economical, and besides, the most interesting. Useful tips for autotourists, see one of our articles.

We go to Sochi by bus and save

You can take a bus from Moscow to Sochi and back for only 3360 rubles. Travel time is 20-24 hours. Buses are comfortable, with air conditioning, audio and video equipment. Therefore, if you want to get to Sochi, spending a minimum of money on the road, then this option will be optimal.

Have an easy road and a pleasant stay!

1500 km without refueling, is it real? An action-packed story in one piece.

The average consumption on the Voronezh-Volgograd section has decreased to 4.9 l / 100 km. For a large executive sedan, the figure is excellent.

A trip on 1 tank to the Black Sea turned out to be extremely exciting in terms of a stubborn struggle right up to the last kilometers.

Moscow - Voronezh

The first rule for a quick departure from Moscow and the Moscow region is to leave early in the morning. I refuel at BP immediately after leaving the Moscow Ring Road, i.e. immediately after the sign is the end of the settlement. In total, it turned out almost 80 liters (including a reserve in case of a complete stop). Well, that's it - we eat sandwiches, drink coffee and go. The next gas station should be only in Anapa after 1500 km

I slowly start moving. I accelerate to 80 km / h - the engine speed is slightly above a thousand. In some places I add up to 90-100 km / h. On the on-board computer, I set the readings of the instantaneous fuel consumption and carefully follow the numbers, hence such a fork of speeds: if you go downhill, then you can accelerate to 100, and when moving uphill, the minimum consumption is obtained just at 80 km / h.

Such low speed is unnatural for the Jaguar XJ. It's a shame when trucks and old "Zhigulis" of summer residents overtake you. I have an unbearable desire to drown the gas pedal to the floor, but I show an iron will and do not do this, because you have to endure.

Jaguar XJ First Impressions: Car Drives Like big ship- smoothly and impressively. Despite the nasty Moscow rain and the abundance of trucks around, it is somehow unnaturally quiet inside the car. In budget cars and middle-class models, which I usually drive, the manufacturer saves, first of all, on soundproofing. But in a car for 5 million rubles, sinning on extraneous sounds from the street is simply ridiculous.

Let's get back on the road. The weather, to put it mildly, is not encouraging. In Moscow and the region, clouds, rain, sometimes strong - disgusting. But as soon as we left the capital region, the clouds suddenly parted and the sun appeared. It was exactly the opposite on the way back. Anomalous zone this is your Moscow.

my navigator at work

In the meantime, we are approaching the first paid section, which is located in the Moscow region from 41 to 71 km of the M4 federal highway. So far, traffic on it is carried out in a test mode, since this mechanism for honestly taking money from drivers was opened only a month ago. In a few days, the “freebie” will end, and motorists will have to pay 30 rubles to the cash desk of the Avtodor enterprise for driving along a 30-kilometer section.

Despite the statements of representatives of the federal road agency that billions of rubles are spent on the construction of pay roads, it seems to me that commercial sections of roads are created by installing barriers on existing 4-lane highways. Most likely, most of the multi-lane roads in Russia will become toll roads, and there is no getting away from this. As for the M4 Don highway, by 2016 the total length of the toll sections will be more than 700 kilometers. It turns out that the owner passenger car will deduct at least 700 rubles in favor of the state, and this with shamelessly expensive gasoline.

But the main problem is not the cost of travel on paid sections, but the traffic jams that form in front of the payment points. Now there are only two such checkpoints, but a third one will open soon - a bypass road around Yelets. Traffic jams will collect in front of all barriers: both at the entrance and at the exit from the commercial road. The funny thing is that the waiting time for your turn to enter will be longer than the time of movement on this "payer". On the way back, for example, in the Lipetsk region, we stood in front of such a section for about 30 minutes, and drove - no more than 20.

11 is on the way back the queue to the "payer"

Let's get back to our race. We drove 285 kilometers. I haven't looked at the average yet. Exciting moment. Now the race may be over if the fuel consumption is too high, I thought. So, I sort through the modes of the on-board computer and reach the readings of the average consumption - 5.2 liters per 100 km! I drive more economically than stated in the passport data (5.6 per "hundred").

Let's go and enjoy life. However, the radio prevents us from fully appreciating this positive moment. The fact is that in the vast territory of our country there are exclusively redneck pop and chanson FM waves, so take your music on a “flash drive” or disks on the road. Oh, how much slop poured into our ears! It's good that there is a TV in the car, which brightened up our monotonous trip a little. On the way back, I even managed to watch both matches in Group A of the European Football Championship.

Let's go further. As I wrote above, a bypass road was finally put into operation around Yelets (even last year we had to travel through the city), so we reach Voronezh quite quickly: average speed since the start is 87 km / h, and the average consumption has dropped to 5.0 liters per 100 km! Some fantasy! But we are driving without climate control, and it has become hot outside, and even stuck in a small traffic jam on the bypass - many years of repair. By the way, on the way back, Voronezh had to pass through the city - the traffic jam towards Moscow was of incredible size.

14 "Eternal" construction of the Voronezh bypass

Voronezh – Rostov-on-Don

Immediately after Voronezh, having driven 500 kilometers from Moscow, we make the first stop - for lunch, rest and walking Lucas, who suddenly ended up in our carriage

We continue moving to the Black Sea, first resetting the average fuel consumption. I look at the numbers from the on-board computer - 535 kilometers have been covered, exactly the same to Rostov. Diesel fuel left a little more than half a tank. Not enough. In addition, I had to turn on the climate control due to the unbearable heat. Well, we are waiting for an increase in fuel consumption. But it was not there. After a couple of hours of driving after a lunch break, the average value is already 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers. This is incredible - with the climate control turned on, the car began to consume 0.1 liters less!

Proven in practice - in expensive cars with powerful engines, smart air conditioning does not take on too much, unlike budget cars, where the consumption with the "air conditioner" increases to two liters

22 You can relax a little and drive without stress. At some point, I believed in victory.

23 After dinner, I felt a wild desire to sleep. Straight wave began to cover. It is known that it must be brought down and then it will be easier. Burn coped well with the task and I continued to wind kilometers without stopping to sleep

But it's still too early to rejoice - the road from a 4-lane has abruptly turned into a classic Russian "two-lane", and traffic has slowed down a bit.

And now comes the key moment of the race - the fuel level needle fixed exactly at the half-tank mark. I look at the kilometer posts - 705 km. Based on this, we can draw a disappointing conclusion that the total distance that will be covered without refueling will be 1410 km - 90 less than I planned. However, do not forget about the "bonus" stock that almost all cars have - when the arrow falls, the car is still able to drive more than a dozen kilometers. Therefore, on this moment I rate the odds of winning the competition as 50:50. Strange, but the built-in navigation, based on the readings of the on-board computer, says that we will not have enough fuel to reach our destination. Stupid.

Rostov-on-Don - Anapa

And here is the first stop of the DPS-nickname at some inconspicuous post literally immediately at the entrance to the Rostov region. I got out of the car and prepared the documents for verification. However, the officer asked one question: "How much does this car cost?". If there was a chair, I would fall off it. The serviceman is estimated. And what? Can afford as compensation for difficult and dangerous work. By the way, you can determine that you entered the Rostov region by the white shirts of traffic police officers: distinguishing feature traffic police uniforms southern regions Russia.

On the track in Rostov region there is one "ambush" place - the village of Tarasovsky. It is located on a narrow two-lane section of the highway that runs right through the center of the village. Naturally, cars slow down in front of pedestrian crossings, which causes decent traffic jams in both directions. In addition, many drivers stop here for rest, which further complicates the traffic situation.

978 km covered. We are approaching Rostov. The road became hilly, the quality of the asphalt itself deteriorated, and this, of course, affected the consumption - an increase to 5.2 liters. In the stream of cars, we increasingly notice the astonished faces of local residents leaning out of the half-open tinted windows, who are looking at our car with undisguised interest. I do not think that the BMW 7-series or the Mercedes S-Class would have caused such a strong reaction from the Rostov public. Indeed, the Jaguar XJ looks very impressive.

Meanwhile, only a quarter of diesel fuel remained in the tank, and still go and go, including through the densely populated villages of the Krasnodar Territory. Suddenly, a traffic jam forms on the road - it was the traffic police who organized a "bottleneck" before the most serious post on the Zukerova Balka highway. Surprisingly, we pass the harsh policemen unnoticed, and on the most economical course we rush towards Anapa. All. The last stage of the race. All the fun begins.

After a few kilometers, we leave the highway towards the village of Kislyakovskaya and then move to Leningradskaya and Timashevsk. It gets dark quickly. Only one division of the tank remained for 270 kilometers. The situation is critical. I am trying to drive even more economically, although there is nowhere to go, and there is also a closed railway crossing in Timashevsk, in front of which an impressive traffic jam has gathered. Just at that moment, the “light bulb” lights up, and the target is 190 kilometers away. Road repairs are in addition ...

Surprisingly, we reach Slavyansk-on-Kuban. The arrow is already in the red. The goal is 100 kilometers away. We go without breathing. Fuel can run out at any moment. At the same time, I don’t know what can happen to the car: suddenly the fuel pump or some other important part like the engine fails.

Anapa is only 40 kilometers away, and the Jaguar XJ is still moving! I don’t know how, but we are going, and after all, the mileage by this moment is almost 1,500 kilometers. The sea appears on the screen of the built-in navigation system, but the last Mountain pass, and any rise is an increased fuel consumption, especially for a heavy car.

Finish

So, the final segment of the distance. There are only a few kilometers left, when suddenly, on the rise, the car begins to twitch barely noticeably. As you approach the pass, the jerks become stronger, and the engine speed does not rise above 1100-1200 rpm. Somehow I reach the pass, let go of all the pedals and roll down to the village of Gostagaevskaya. There are 20 kilometers left to Anapa, but judging by the odometer readings, I have already covered the planned 1,500 kilometers today. This means that the resort town turned out to be a little further from Moscow than I expected.

The fight went literally to the meters. Having moved down the mountain, I move very slowly through the village. Car jerks intensify. The engine is no longer able to function, and suffers from a lack of fuel, like a fish thrown by a fisherman on a hot shore. All. At the next intersection I decide to stop and add spare diesel fuel. 19 kilometers left to Anapa. The total travel time with all stops is 21 hours.

29 I will show on the map where the race ended. It's a shame, yes. Not enough 1 liter of diesel fuel!

I think that such a result cannot be called a defeat, but also a clear victory. One thing is clear, it is real to get to the Black Sea by this car! And there is nothing supernatural in this.

30 Having added spare fuel, we reached Anapa, from where we already went to the village of Blagoveshchenskaya, where there is a good sandy beach

33 The next day we drove around the neighborhood, took a few shots of the car and moved to Krasnodar, from where we already headed back to Moscow

Energy drink Burn. The guys promote the brand in in social networks participated in this project - they published my comments online with their additions on their Facebook page.

If you get to the Black Sea coast by plane, then 15,000 rubles will be spent on air tickets. at peak tourist season. Most cheap option is a trip to the sea by car in 2019. About 10,000 rubles will be spent on gasoline, and this amount can be divided among several people. Add to this the freedom of movement, the ability to go wherever you want at any time, and the advantages of traveling by sea by car in 2019 are obvious. Consider how to get to the Black Sea by car.

We go to the sea by car: documents

Mandatory documents for a trip to the sea by car in 2019.

Driver's license
Vehicle registration certificate
OSAGO (if the policy ends soon, you can renew online and compare prices And )

Before the trip to the Black Sea by car you need to find out information about the route, find out which cities you need to pass through, and how much time and money it will take to travel.

First part of the journey at sea by car in 2019, everyone has the same - starts in Moscow and ends with the arrival in Krasnodar. The second route runs through Krasnodar, end point following will be the Black Sea. Travelers from St. Petersburg first need to get to Moscow, and then follow the intended route.

The M-4 "Don" highway is very good, it is not difficult to drive along it to the sea by car. But the road is still long. The route is divided into many sections, some of which are paid. Section M-4 "Don" Moscow - Voronezh - 531 km. Here you will find a 4-lane motorway, a lot of settlements along the way, heavy traffic is possible. Section of the track to the Black Sea by car from 48 to 71 km is paid.

After that we pass Voronezh - Rostov-on-Don. Distance - 560 km, traffic in 4 lanes. In the area of Pavlovsk and the Tarasovsky point, traffic is reduced by two lanes.

Then travel through Rostov-on-Don - Krasnodar, distance - 240 km, travel time 4 hours. Keep in mind that road sections may be undergoing repairs. The number of lanes is four. The first part of the journey is over.

After Timashevsk, a large flow of cars turns towards the Crimea. You can go there too, since it's open Crimean bridge You can drive from Timashevsk to Kerch in 4 hours.

About the same time it takes to get to Gelendzhik. The closest to go to Anapa and Novorossiysk.

Distance from Krasnodar to Novorossiysk is 228 km. The route runs along the sea coast. Despite the bad and broken road, here you can enjoy the picturesque nature.

Most long route by sea by car Krasnodar - Sochi. This is also the most difficult section of the road. Many steep passes, a large accumulation of cars. It will be necessary to cover a distance of 290 km, travel time from 5 to 12 hours.

Tip: in order not to get stuck in a traffic jam before arriving in Krasnodar, we recommend that you set the next destination on your GPS navigator - Goryachiy Klyuch.

On vacation on the Black Sea by car: route and overnight stay

The track "Don" has a good developed infrastructure. On the way to the sea by car, you can make stops, go to the toilet, take a shower, and, if necessary, use the services of a car service or refuel and wash the car. In order not to get into a traffic jam in front of the payment points on the Don highway, you should not leave to the Black Sea by car from Moscow on Saturday early in the morning. Otherwise, you run the risk of being stuck there for 4 hours, waiting for your turn. On the check issued to you, information for paid kilometers is displayed. Therefore, upon arrival at the next checkpoint, just show it so that you do not have to pay twice. Such traffic jams are common, even if you leave Moscow at 3-4 am, it is likely that you will reach the suburb of Rostov-on-Don - the city of Aksay by 2 am. And further way from Aksai to Krasnodar can stretch instead of 4 hours for all 10.

Most best option travel next. Departure to the Black Sea by car from Moscow early in the morning at 5-6 am. At about 18.00 we reach Millerovo and make the final stop there. Here you can spend the night and move on with renewed vigor. At 5-6 am we leave and continue our way to Krasnodar. We arrive there around 2:00 pm. Depending on the direction, you will be in Crimea at 18.00, in Anapa and Novorossiysk at 17.00, Gelendzhik at 18.00, in Sochi the last (depending on the time of overcoming the serpentine).

Be careful: video cameras are installed on the highway to Voronezh, so drive at a speed of about 80 km/h. In the Rostov region, there are many tracks with sections of roads being repaired, as well as many kilometers of traffic jams in which you can get stuck.

Do not try to overtake passing trucks in oncoming two-lane traffic. Buy fuel only from brands you know. For example, in Adygea we came across a very low-quality fuel. Do not forget that almost all parking lots in Sochi are paid, so try to follow the rules.

You can generally make a forced march without stopping and get to the Black Sea by car in 1 day. This option is suitable for those traveling to Anapa, Novorossiysk or Kerch. In Sochi it is not the best option, because you will arrive at the serpentines tired and exhausted.

How much does a trip to the Black Sea cost by car

Calculate in advance all the necessary expenses for a trip to the Black Sea by car for gasoline and food, and also take into account the cost of overnight stays. Gasoline consumption can be calculated using the Internet. It will cost about 5000 rubles. one way from Moscow. From St. Petersburg - 7000 rubles. one way. For an overnight stay, choose economy class rooms, with extra bed for a third person or for a child. The cost of living in rooms from 2000 rubles. On the trip you will spend an average of two days with overnight stays. Meals per person will cost from 800 to 1000 rubles, if you eat in a cafe. And 400-500 rubles if you take food with you (you can save a little on this).

For comparison, you can buy for the same 5000-7500 rubles. one way (if tracked in advance). But the car will more possibilities and freedom of choice in terms of spending time on the Black Sea.

You can take from 3500 rubles, but the trip is long and tiring.

To the Black Sea by car: what you need to travel to the Black Sea

1. First aid kit. Take with you as many necessary medicines as possible, in addition to the car first aid kit. Travelers with weak vestibular apparatus should take medication in advance and take the necessary medicines with them to avoid motion sickness. While driving on mountain serpentines, there are practically no shoulders, so if someone feels bad, you will have to wait until the next stop.

2. Spray, cream or ointment for insect bites. On the road and on vacation, this is especially important.

3. Be sure to take enough drinking water . It is better to take bottled water, not canisters.

4. DVR, navigator and anti-radar to record everything that happens on the roads - important components of the trip, which will definitely be needed on the way.

5. In order not to get bored on the road, take with you audiobooks, musical recordings or comedy concerts .

6. Pick up suitable shoes . Keep in mind that the beaches on the Black Sea are both rocky and sandy. On vacation, sun loungers and umbrellas are paid, so you can bring these things with you.

A few tips for travelers at sea by car in 2019

1. On an unfamiliar road in highlands behave carefully, do not exceed the speed, otherwise you risk falling off a cliff. It is also not worth driving too slowly, as you will annoy the traffic participants behind you.

2. If you want to see the real blue sea, then you will have to overcome dozens of traffic jams on the federal highway M-27 Dzhubga - Sochi, which is the main road leading to all coastal cities.

3. Do not forget that the biggest and longest traffic jams are formed on Friday after 12 noon, when residents of the Kuban, Rostov region and Adygea are in a hurry to go to the sea for the weekend. The same thing happens on Sunday evening when vacationers leave for home.

4. If your path lies through the city of Tuapse, then there is a possibility that you can get stuck in a traffic jam for three hours. All because federal highway passes through the only road locals travel from one part of the city to another.

5. It is best to travel at night. However, you need to be an experienced driver, because at night you can meet heavy vehicles and long vehicles on the highway.

6. If a subtropical downpour caught you on the way, it is better to stop and wait for a while. Stop in an open area, away from mountain slopes and rivers. If there is no opportunity to stop yet, it is necessary to slow down to reasonable limits, and try not to make sudden maneuvers. In no case do not set up camp, do not stop near the shore mountain rivers. You can be swept out to sea by strong currents. So wait out the rain open space away from rivers.

7. It is better to buy food and water in large chain stores. In roadside stalls, products are not always fresh, but are quite expensive. Ask the locals where they buy quality and tasty food.

8. Craving fresh fruits and vegetables? Do not take them from merchants along the highway. Often they deceive buyers by passing off goods from Turkey as products of local origin. Often, merchants dress up travelers in the hope that they will never return here again.

As you can see, getting to the Black Sea is not at all difficult. With the opening of the Crimean bridge, it became easier to go on vacation to the Crimea. And if you don’t want to wind through the mountain serpentines in front of Sochi, then you can go to Anapa, Novorossiysk or Gelendzhik. Have a nice trip to the Black Sea by car in 2019!
