My experience of buying air tickets to Crimea - how I caught cheap tickets on Aviasales. Air tickets to Crimea How to buy inexpensive air tickets to Crimea

Updated 07/06/2019 Author Oleg Lazhechnikov Views 175 Comments 2

I already wrote a detailed post about all the options, where I mentioned airplanes. It makes sense to dwell on this in a little more detail.

On this moment There are 4 airports in Crimea, but only one of them is operational - international Airport Simferopol. Therefore, you will fly there.

How much does it cost to fly to Crimea?

The easiest way to fly to Crimea is from Moscow, and all of the airlines listed below have flights to Simferopol. average price for a round trip flight approximately 5-15 thousand rubles, depending on the season. Costs increase closer to the season, so you need to monitor prices and buy tickets in advance if you want to save money.

There is also an observation that air tickets to Crimea are sold at a good price about 4 days before departure.

Alternatively, fly there and back different airlines, having bought individual tickets. I did this last time. To Simferopol Nord Wind, and back Ural Airlines. It may be that the price of the flight is lower, or the time is more convenient.

Federal agency air transport(Rosaviation) compiles a list of flights that are subsidized every summer. Tickets are sold from April to October. But the problem is that discounted air tickets at a fixed rate are sold out instantly, that is, literally within a few days after the start of sales.

Which airline to fly to Crimea

As is known, due to the transition of Crimea to Russian Federation sanctions were introduced, one of which was the cessation of international air travel over the territory of the Crimean Peninsula. But tourists still fly to Crimea - just with a transfer, and only by plane Russian airlines.

Regular flights The following airlines fly to Crimea: Aeroflot and Russia, Ural Airlines, Nord Wind, Red Wings, Alrosa, Yakutia Airlines, Smartavia (formerly Nordavia), IrAero, Azimut. In fact, flights are carried out from all major cities Russia.

Pobeda Airlines, as far as I know, does not yet plan to fly to Crimea.

During the high season, it can be difficult to buy a ticket for a direct route (only expensive fares remain). Therefore, passengers have to change planes in Moscow. Of course, this affects the price of the ticket: a ticket from remote regions of Russia can cost a couple of tens of thousands of rubles. Does it make sense to spend that kind of money? Don't know…

How to get there from Simferopol airport

From the airport to Simferopol

Simferopol airport is located outside the city (12 km from the center). Get to the center of Simferopol public transport possible in 30-40 minutes. The stop is located next to the airport and trolleybuses (No. 9), as well as buses and minibuses (No. 49, 49A, 98, 115 and 117) go from there. Bus routes No. 49, 98 and 115 will take you to the railway station and the Kurortnaya bus station - from where most flights to the resort area of Crimea operate. You can take bus number 49 to Central bus station cities.

The fare for a trolleybus is 7 rubles, for a bus and minibus– 10 rub.

From airport to resort

At the airport you can take a taxi to any of the bus stations in Simferopol or directly to your destination, to the sea. Taxi prices in Simferopol are within 20 rubles/km. A taxi from Simferopol airport to Yevpatoria will cost you approximately 1600 rubles, to Feodosia – 3200 rubles, to Yalta – 2600 rubles.

So, you are at Simferopol airport. Where to go next?

You can go to almost any resort town in Crimea from the Kurortnaya bus station, located near the railway station. You can get there by bus routes 98 and 115. You can go straight to it without hesitation. From the Kurortnaya bus station you can go to Eastern Bank Crimea (to Feodosia, Koktebel, Kerch, Ordzhonikidze), to the West Bank (to Evpatoria, Chernomorskoe, Saki) and to the South Coast (to Yalta, Alushta, Sudak, Simeiz, etc.) and, of course, to the hero city Sevastopol.

Trolleybuses No. 51 (to Alushta) and No. 52 (to Yalta) also regularly run from this bus station. If you want to go by trolleybus, then you will have the opportunity to travel the longest intercity trolleybus route in the world (it is 84 km to Yalta). In a two-hour journey, you can calmly admire the delightful landscapes of the Crimean mountains and picturesque valleys.

From the Central Bus Station of Simferopol you can also go to most of the resort towns of Crimea, however, such flights are much less common here, since this bus station is intended primarily for departure of buses long distance– to mainland Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. You can get to the Central Bus Station from the airport by routes No. 49 and 49A. And from the Vostochnaya bus station, buses run exclusively to that part of Crimea where there are no resort areas.

Every person periodically experiences an urgent need for new experiences, a change of scenery and relaxation. It is important to listen to this desire. However, you don’t always want to radically change everything around you: climate, cuisine, people, or spend time adapting. Especially when it comes to vacationing with children. It is also not always convenient to trust your vacation to travel agencies. What to do in this case?

The ideal option would be a holiday in Crimea, organized independently. It's not as difficult as it seems at first glance. Let's figure out how to go to Crimea on our own.

Travel plan

First of all, you need to collect as much information as possible about where you want to go. There are only five large cities in Crimea, and each of them is interesting in its own way. Decide which independent holiday in Crimea, do you prefer: beach and relaxed or active, with hiking and sightseeing. The more detailed you describe your future independent Crimean trip, the easier it will be to plan your route and create an entertainment program.

Secondly, you need to decide on the duration independent travel to Crimea. How long will your entire vacation take? How much time would you like to spend actively, and how much relaxing? How to relax in Crimea? Be sure to study the main attractions, excursion programs and trips that are offered, compare prices, and read reviews. Make a preliminary plan for your trip to Crimea yourself.

Thirdly, you need to calculate your travel budget. To do this, you need to study the prices of tickets, accommodation, find out how much is spent on food, how much entertainment costs, how much you want to spend on gifts and souvenirs. The most convenient way to plan costs is as follows. Allocate a separate amount for tickets and housing. Decide in advance what kind of excursions you want and set aside money for them. Find out how much you are willing to spend on souvenirs. The money left over for food, travel and inexpensive entertainment is best divided by the number of vacation days. This way you will get a daily limit that you need to meet. It is very important to keep track of expenses while traveling independently in Crimea; this will help control expenses.

Fourthly, you need to book tickets and rent accommodation in Crimea yourself. Collect everything Required documents, take care of insurance.

The planning stage for an independent trip to Crimea can take quite a lot of time. There is no need to be afraid of this. The magic is that the more time you devote to preliminary preparation, careful collection of information, analysis, calculations, selection of optimal housing, the most interesting places and programs, the better you can organize everything, the easier and more enjoyable your vacation will be.

When is the best time to go?

Fans of Crimea, of course, claim that it is wonderful here at any time of the year. The choice of season depends on the purpose of the savage’s trip.

If you are interested in exploring natural attractions, admiring waterfalls, lush, fresh greenery, and walking a lot, then April and May are recommended. At this time, Crimea and travel are especially good, the rivers are deep, it is not hot and there are not many vacationers.

If an independent trip to Crimea aims to sunbathe and swim, of course, you need to go in the summer. The sea is warm here from May to October, the season begins in June, the most popular time is from mid-July to the end of August. At this time there are especially many tourists here, there is intense heat, fruits are ripe and prices for everything rise significantly.

If you want to swim and see the sights, but not crowd on the beaches and not overpay for everything, then you should go here in the fall, starting in mid-September. It’s not so hot anymore, people are starting to leave, prices are falling, but the water in the sea is still warm and comfortable for swimming. We can say that September is the ideal time to make an independent trip to Crimea, as the reviews indicate.

A few words about winter. Winter views never had a vacation strong point Crimea, although there is snow in the mountains. You can go skiing or snowboarding in Ai-Petri; there is all the necessary infrastructure: slopes and lifts, equipment rental, cafes, shops, guest houses. You can take an instructor. There are trails near the Marble Cave and on the Angarsk Pass. The center winter tourism Yalta is considered to be in Crimea.

Flights

Most quick way getting to Crimea is a plane. Major airport is located in Simferopol, this is where the main Russian airlines operate flights. There are direct flights not only from Moscow and St. Petersburg; it is also easy to fly from the regions: Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Perm and other cities.

Independent travelers to Crimea with experience assure that an airplane is not only the fastest way to get to Crimea, but also the cheapest.

It is most convenient to purchase air tickets through the service for several reasons:

Also in favor of the service is the ability to choose an airline, departure and arrival times, and the ability to see in advance how long the journey will take when choosing one or another option. Buying tickets is very easy using a bank card.

How to get there by car

The option of traveling independently to Crimea in a personal car is considered one of the most inconvenient, this is due to the problems that arise at the Kerch crossing. Therefore, motorists often leave their cars before the crossing and continue on by bus or ferry. There may also be difficulties crossing the border.

The most popular way to go to Crimea today is through Krasnodar region before the crossing from the port "Kavkaz" to the port "Crimea". A car can also be transported by ferry, paying from 1,700 rubles. You will have to wait quite a long time for your turn. The situation is a little easier at night and on weekdays. If you wish, you can drive a rented car if you live very far from Crimea, but cannot imagine your life without an iron horse. You can rent a suitable car. If you are traveling to Crimea on your own by car, remember that you may need to pay for parking.

How does a ferry work?

Housing

There are many accommodation options in Crimea. The search method includes only two options: on the spot or in advance via the Internet.

In Crimea the method independent search Housing on site involves some risk. Despite the fact that there are many offers, whether in season or out of season, there is a chance that from mid-July to the end of August you will not find what you want. Of course, they won’t leave you completely on the street, but the location may be inconvenient, the conditions not very comfortable, and the cost high.

Main attractions

There are a lot of interesting places here, it makes no sense to list them all, so we will focus only on the most popular ones.

The symbol of Crimea can be called the castle " bird home" It is located on sheer cliff, beautifully hangs over the sea, looks especially romantic against the backdrop of sunset.

Famous are the Livadia Palace and the Messandrovsky Palace. These are imperial residences. In Alupka there is another symbol of the peninsula - Vorontsov Palace, surrounded by a magnificent park.

Approximate cost of travel

Let's take a calculator and estimate how much an independent trip to Crimea will cost for one person living in Moscow. Let’s assume that it was decided to vacation in Crimea from June 13 to June 26, 2016, and Yalta was chosen for the vacation.

A direct flight from Moscow to Simferopol and back will cost 10,673 rubles. Next you still need to get to Yalta. There is a direct trolleybus on this route; a ticket costs 98 rubles. You can take the bus and get there for 110 rubles. The total cost of travel will be about 11 thousand rubles.

We choose housing. Most inexpensive option– a place in a shared hostel room with a bunk bed. For twelve nights such housing will cost 5,280 rubles. Guest house with a place in a superior four-bed room – 16,200 rubles. The simplest hotel with double room economy class - from 18,000 rubles.

On the Airbnb website they offer accommodation in a separate room in an apartment from 628 rubles per day. For twelve days – 7536 rubles. Total accommodation, depending on the degree of comfort, can cost from 5,280 to 18,000 rubles and more. Consequently, travel and accommodation will require from 19,000 to 40,000 rubles.

Eating in Crimea depends on whether you eat in cafes and restaurants or make do with more modest options. In a cafe, a salad costs from 50 rubles, a shish kebab from 200 rubles, a cocktail from 130 rubles. Fruits from 100 rubles per kilogram, seafood from 80 rubles per serving. There are many grocery stores where you can shop there and cook your own food. Therefore, you need to budget at least 1000 rubles per day for food and travel on local transport. Total 12,000 rubles for the entire vacation in Crimea.

Excursions from 700 rubles, entrance tickets can be added to the cost.

Gifts and souvenirs. A box of local chocolates costs from 190 rubles, wine from the Inkerman plant costs from 120 rubles per bottle. They bring teas and herbal infusions, dried fruits, shell souvenirs, cosmetics, and fish from Crimea. How much to spend on gifts? It is difficult to answer this question, some people carry a lot with them, others choose to leave light.

It turns out that the approximate costs will be from 39,000 rubles per person. Is this a budget trip? In 2017, independent holidays in Crimea will only become more expensive.

How to save money

The advantage of traveling to Crimea on your own is that you control the cost of the trip yourself. How to relax on a budget? Here are the main directions for cost optimization.

You should not go during high season (July and August). Prices at this time are significantly, but unreasonably, inflated. A trip in early June or September will give you no less pleasure, but will cost less than an independent holiday in Crimea from mid-July to the end of August. The most pleasant and budget-friendly holidays are those in May and October.
You can reduce the cost of air tickets if you choose not a direct flight, but fly with a transfer. The difference in cost for one ticket can reach up to ten thousand, depending on the city of departure and the date of travel. It is also convenient to use the low price calendar on the service to choose the optimal price; it makes sense to subscribe to the route and wait for a promotion from the airline.
Oddly enough, keeping track of expenses during your trip and clearly planning a budget in itself reduces costs, even if you do not set yourself the goal of saving money.
When planning a trip to Crimea, check out the experiences of other tourists, read on forums about the places where you plan to go. People generously share information about interesting but inexpensive shops and cafes. As a rule, such establishments are located away from popular hiking trails, so you need to know about them in advance.
How to save money on housing in Crimea? It is better to rent housing not in Yalta or Sevastopol, but in Bakhchisarai, Koktebel or the suburbs of Evpatoria. The most budget-friendly ones are small ones resort villages. Use the website to select options.
Most excursion programs can be visited on your own using public transport. There are also closed excursions that can only be attended as part of a tourist group. But there are not many of them.

Let's figure out how much it costs to go to Crimea in 2019. Current prices for vacation: for food in shops and cafes, for hotels and private sector, gasoline, tickets, excursions. We are counting the cost of a trip to Crimea for two.

We love Crimea! We came there 4 times - we vacationed ourselves, we brought friends and relatives. We traveled around the entire peninsula several times, visited all the cities and resorts. In this review, we will help you calculate how much your vacation in Crimea will cost. Find out about prices, our costs and ways to save.

Train and single ticket. For many, a single ticket is the most cheap way get to the peninsula. Its price consists of the cost of train tickets to Anapa or Krasnodar and a bus to the resort. It can only be issued if you have a train ticket. It turns out quite budget-friendly. For example, a reserved seat from Moscow to Anapa costs about 3,500 rubles, and a single ticket to Yalta costs 700 rubles.

Advice: Choose a modern carriage with a dry toilet, air conditioning and shower. Once we were traveling south in an old carriage and cursed everything in the world. Russian Railways also has dynamic pricing - that is, the earlier you buy tickets, the cheaper!

Villa 5* with pool, sea view and breakfast in Yalta	from 27000	Villa "Elena"

Hotels on the map of Crimea

Private sector. It flourished in Crimea. There are signs everywhere: “Accommodation by the sea” and “Rooms for rent.” The catch is this: housing by the sea is only nominally by the sea. There really is a sea, but it’s a long way to get to it! Another catch is economy class housing. This is not the usual European economy, it is an economy in the Crimean way - with a toilet on the street and a shared shower, where the water is heated in a barrel under the sun. And for such conditions they want a lot of money - at least 400 rubles per person in Sudak, for example.

The Demerdzhi massif is especially beautiful in cloudy weather, when the mountains are shrouded in fog.

Here are the prices for food in Crimea in 2019 in the PUD supermarket (in season):

bread - from 20 rubles;
boiled sausage - from 380 rubles;
sausages (kg) - 250-400 rubles;

milk (1 l) - from 70 rubles;

oranges (kg) - from 70 rubles.

The PUD hypermarket in Kerch has excellent pastries and cakes, but they are expensive.

In the markets Buy only seasonal vegetables, fruits and berries (figs, grapes, cherries, apricots, peaches, cherries, strawberries, etc.) - they are inexpensive. For example, during the harvest, local grapes were sold to us for 30 rubles per kg.

Wine in Crimea it is inexpensive - on average from 250 rubles per bottle. Sold in small specialized stores - "Massandra", " Sunny Valley"(on tap or in bottles) and in stores at wineries (for example, in the Inkerman or Golitsyn wine factories). Wine on tap is also sold on the coast. There it is cheap, but the quality is questionable. We tried it once and did not get poisoned, but We don’t trust it and buy wine only in special stores.

Advice: Try the fortified wine “Black Doctor” with a pleasant caramel-berry aftertaste (900 rubles for 0.375 l and from 1,400 rubles for 0.7 l - it’s more profitable to take a large bottle).
