Routes of trains

At the present time (2014) trains to Crimea gotwo ways: through Ukraine and through a ferry in the Kerch Strait. Four passenger trains run from Moscow to Simferopol, Sevastopol and Kerch through the territory of Ukraine. These compounds formed the Crimean railway, which is structurally not part of the company Russian Railways. This train N17 / 18 Sevastopol-Moscow-Sevastopol, N68 / 67 and N40 / 39 Simferopol-Moscow-Simferopol, as well as train N98 / 97 Kerch-Moscow-Kerch. They will proceed to the peninsula in transit. In addition, trains formed by the railways of Ukraine will run between the Crimea and several Russian cities. But the trains of the Federal Passenger Company (a subsidiary of the Russian Railways) do not regularly go to the peninsula. Through the ferry there are trains that are being formed in Russia. They travel through Krasnodar, then to the Kerch Strait, where the cars are sealed, loaded onto the ferry, and the passengers are near. Then the train continues its way along the rails in Kerch.

One ticket to Crimea

There is another interesting option as possibleget to Yalta - this is a single ticket to the Crimea. By train you follow to Anapa or Krasnodar stations. Further, a communication is organized between the stations of Anapa, Krasnodar and the settlements of Crimea using road and sea transport. To travel to the Crimea at the ticket office, passengers are issued a ticket for transportation by rail, a boarding pass and a coupon for getting a sea and road transport service (ferry and by bus). The registration of coupons is possible only with the simultaneous issuance of a travel document for long-distance trains and ends 24 hours before the departure of the train. All flights (train-bus-ferry-bus) are docked by the time of departure. Buses are served to the place and time of departure of connecting flights of ferries and trains. The boarding pass to Simferopol or Yalta costs 750 rubles. This cost is added to the railway ticket during its purchase at the ticket office. The road to the ferry from Krasnodar is 2.5 hours. If you go from Anapa - three times less.

Directions from Simferopol to Yalta

The first option is on the trolleybus. Such a trip will be very cheap. Trolleybuses go on schedule every 15-20 minutes. During the trip, which represents a separate tourist route, one can observe how the surrounding landscape is gradually changing, mountains and the sea appear. The trolleybus stop is located next to the railway station, buy a ticket and wait 5-10 minutes before the arrival of the next trolleybus. The next option is the most optimal - a minibus. The fare to Yalta is two times more expensive, but the speed is exactly the same faster. These minibuses are all foreign-made, very comfortable and spacious. Landing on the minibus is immediately there at the station. The last option, of course, is a taxi. It is comfortable, very expensive, and you arrive just 10-15 minutes before the minibus.
