The Minister of Transport at the next meeting said that at the moment the roads in the Crimea having social significance are being restored and restored, and an appeal addressed to the vice-premier of the republic for additional financing of repair and further maintenance of asphalt covering in the cities and regions of the peninsula has already been prepared.

The first way to travel to Crimea from Russia

If one of the tourists decides to still go independently to the shores of the Black Sea, then for such a trip there are several options for the route. The most common of these is the Moscow-Crimea road. Initially, the capital will need to go to Simferopol highway and drive the following settlements: Tula, Kursk, Orel and Belgorod. Then, after reaching the border, it is necessary to cross it in Cossack Lopani. Thus, the further way will pass through the territory of Ukraine through such cities: Kharkov, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk and Melitopol.

After that, Chongar followed, followed by Dzhankoy. Then it remains only to choose the desired resort of the republic and, having left for the roads in the Crimea, quickly reach the planned place.

Advantages of this method - a relatively short distance, the least cost of fuel and the minimum time on the road. But, if this route is chosen at the height of the season, there is an opportunity to get into the kilometer turn at the border, thereby losing several hours of its time.

Second Route

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

After successful passage of the frontier service, the route runs through Novoazovsk, Mariupol, Melitopol and Berdyansk. Having passed these settlements, it will be necessary to turn to the south and get to Genichesk, and then the roads in Crimea begin.

The advantage of this route is that most of the way passes through Russian cities, and it can be attributed to minuses that it is much longer.

The third option

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

The biggest plus of such a trip is that the entire route runs through Russia, and its serious drawback is the length 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 fascinating. First, along the "Don" route, it is necessary to follow to Voronezh, and then go on the bypass road and head to Rossosh. After this, the village will need to turn to the village of Novobela, which is divided into two parts by the border between Russia and Ukraine. Then you need to follow the small towns, such as Novopskov, Starobelsk, Novoyaidar and Happiness.

After them, the Donetsk road starts immediately, leading to Mariupol. Then follows Volodarskoe, Mangush, Berdyansk, and only after Melitopol it is necessary to turn to the south, that is, towards the Crimea. The first city that will meet 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 tried personally the roads in the Crimea, reviews about this trip have left extremely good. Motorists appreciated not only the satisfactory quality of the trails, but also a large number of roadside cafes and gas stations that meet 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 some places you can find unsuccessful sites.
