A trip to the Crimea in a regular B/C-class car is quite accessible to any normal driver, the question is in planning the route and rest. Ideally, if there are two drivers in the car: this greatly facilitates the journey. Additionally, it will be facilitated by all sorts of pleasant little things, such as a cooler bag with a small supply of food, a smartphone with a program that tracks traffic cameras, and a T-pass transponder that allows you to pass toll booths on the highway with minimal delays.
But if you can do without the above, then without ferry tickets through Kerch Strait, which can be purchased on the Gosparom.ru website, it is better not to do it: buying tickets on the spot will seriously increase the waiting time, since tickets are sold for certain time slots. As practice shows, the optimal interval for those traveling from Moscow is from 15:00 to 21:00 on the day following the departure.
With this set (except for the transponder, which was forgotten), my family and I set off on the morning of July 16 from the near Moscow region, leaving at the intersection of the Moscow Ring Road and the M4 highway at about 5:30. This made it possible to skip the payment points closest to Moscow with virtually no queues, even despite the absence of a transponder, but queues in the Tula and Voronezh regions increased the journey by about an hour.
The route ran along the M4 through Voronezh to Rostov-on-Don, which was the main goal of the first day of the journey - we booked a motel for an overnight stay in Bataysk, the nearest suburb of Rostov. In the event that on the first day it was possible to travel further, Timashevsk in the Krasnodar Territory was a backup option for the night, but it was not possible to complete the maximum program.
The main obstacle was traffic jams in the Voronezh region, which arise shortly before Losevo and continue intermittently almost to Boguchar on not yet expanded (or only expanding) sections of the route. It is quite possible to bypass some of these traffic jams on regional highways through Bobrov and Buturlinovka - regional roads in the Voronezh region are much better than in Moscow, but this is a personal choice of everyone, and it is not a fact that in the end it will be possible to save time.
We did not succeed, although we drove more than we stood, and as a result, we got to Bataisk at three o'clock in the morning - more than 21 hours after the departure, which was scheduled, perhaps, too late. It should be understood that the participants in traffic jams, a very significant proportion of which are cars of tourists from the central regions of Russia, start off at about the same time, and if you start at least forty minutes earlier and keep this gap along the way, then stop in the Voronezh region in the afternoon you will have much less. At the same time, it’s not worth driving without stopping - other road users need refueling, rest, and a lunch break in the same way, so there is simply no point in exploits on the track.
The second day was much easier: we left Bataysk at nine in the morning and laid the route not along the main highway through Krasnodar, but through the villages, closer to the coast Sea of Azov. Not in a hurry, we arrived at the port of Kavkaz by 16:30. Electronic tickets helped a lot here, thanks to which we got on the ferry, despite the busy parking lot, after an hour and a half. Those who bought tickets on the spot were not always lucky, some left for the other side only at ten o'clock in the evening.
Direct trains from Moscow to Simferopol have been cancelled. As of 2018, the Crimean section of the route is served by buses. By 2019, it is planned to complete the construction of a railway bridge across the Kerch Strait.
Traveling by train from Moscow to Simferopol, of course, takes longer than by plane. After several airlines launched budget direct flights from Moscow to Simferopol, one could forget about trains on this section of the route. However, if you are afraid of flying or just have a weakness for rail travel, it is still worth exploring this option in more detail. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the distance between Moscow and Simferopol for trains is 1,500 km, and total time, which will have to be spent on the road - about 1.5 days or more.
The train schedule Moscow - Simferopol is set at the end of April - for the entire summer season. At this time, the routes of the "Single Tickets" begin to operate, additional train runs are introduced and wagons are added to the existing trains.

Those reasonable people who use Telegram and are subscribed to it know that I was in Crimea all last week. Moreover, they could regularly read travel notes and see photos from there. For the same strange people who for some reason are still not in the telegram, I will now try to do some kind of brief summary. But, in general, you are in vain. Telegram is convenient.
Yes, I’ll say right away that I went there on business, so I didn’t set myself any tourist tasks. I went by car, a weekend there, a week there, a weekend back. However, some observations may be of interest to those who consider Crimea as a vacation destination.
1. Road
I was driving from Voronezh to Yalta (not to Yalta itself, to a nearby village, but that doesn't matter). I drove through Timashevsk - this is not the most popular route, many people travel along a longer, but also more well-knurled path through Krasnodar. Perhaps in the season it will be better - the road is wider. It’s not interesting to talk about the M4 - you step on the gas and try not to fall asleep. Well, except for Losev and a couple more interesting places, where it suddenly turns from a six-row into a goat path. In the summer, people there die for hours in traffic jams, but in the off-season this is a slight annoying delay, nothing more. On the way, they collect money twice, but since I have a transponder in my car, I flew there twice and once back without the slightest delay. The last time I did hit a woodpecker who couldn't read in a Mercedes, who stared into the green corridor without a transponder, stood in front of the barrier and started bullying him. The barrier didn't care, but the rest had to wait until he stopped yelling at the piece of iron and drove out of there in reverse. A common thing in green corridors.
Some variety begins when you leave the M4.
When you turn right after Kushchevskaya towards Timashevsk, a fairly decent, but still two-lane road begins. This is quite survivable, as long as there are relatively few cars - well, you have to twitch, overtake trucks, but it's okay, that was the only way they drove before. I remember very well how the whole M4 looked much worse, it’s already “you-know-who brought the country to what”, that there is now a six-row. You go, of course, more slowly than on the federal highway, but around the beauty of the Kuban.
Sorry for the quality of the photos, my main smartphone worked all the way as a navigator and a warning service (in the background under Yandex.Navigator). This is highly, highly recommended, because the Kuban is simply full of cameras.
However, it seems to me from road observations that in summer this road can turn into hell. Each narrowness will become a traffic jam for many hours. If now the move to Timashevsk took 15 minutes, then it was, excuse me for a minute, a traffic jam of five cars. What if there are 50 of them?
2. Navigation
Yandex navigator communicates with itself in voice control mode. The word "kilometer" is the key, and after saying it, he switches to voice mode and waits for a command. He does not understand what he hears, he is upset, he asks again ... So it is better to turn off this mode immediately. Despite the preloaded maps (some monstrous gigabytes), when the mobile connection is lost, he does not see himself or the world around him, makes mistakes in routes, painfully tries to understand who he is, where he is, and what his place is in this Universe ... K Fortunately, this rarely happens on the way to the Crimea - the entire M4 is covered without breaks, and in the rich Kuban, an unexpected LTE erupted in some places.
Beeline pleases. The only pity is that Crimea is not Russia for him...
But Megafon wanted money before reaching Rostov.
3. Kuban
In the Kuban live fat, fat. You go through the local villages and all the “Great”, “Joyful”, “Abundant” and other positively self-satisfied place names. Not like we have in the Black Earth region - Mud, Squabbles and the great village of Khrenovoe. Well, that is, the locals, of course, assure that it is shitty, well, let them pour it to someone else. I could never understand what kind of toponymic masochism is to live in some Dryshchi or Shit. Better then Lope De Vega State Farm - at least it sounds like “** your mother”.
Already at home it is noticeable that toponymic witchcraft benefited the Kuban people - even in the smallest villages everything is well-groomed, the houses are brick, the roofs are fashionably covered, the windows are plastic. Near every house there is a car, and most often not a Zhiguli. It is easy to notice that a peasant has a wealth by the abundance of small embellishments - beautiful fences, carved architraves, weathervanes of various vulgarity ... Well, yes, kitsch, but positively, brightly and most importantly - indicative. Everything is normal for people, there is leisure and there are means.
The roads here, in the depths of the Kuban, are also not bad - markings, asphalt, gas stations. Two-row, but a decent two-row and there is where to overtake. True, Lukoil, the infection, hid all the gas stations! I was driving there - all Lukoil was on the left, through a continuous one without turns. I'm going back - the same garbage! How did he manage to rearrange all the gas stations on the other side of the road in a week? Some kind of vile sorcery, not otherwise ... But as soon as you refuel out of desperation at some Rosneft - and that’s it, Lukoils will nest like mushrooms, and everything, as if mocking, is on your side! By the way, Lukoil sells folding pocket axes. For little Raskolnikovs.
No, I have nothing against Rosneft, but on the issue of diesel fuel for Comonrail, I prefer Lukoil. It hurts, you know, the nozzles of the road ... Well, the best toilets along the entire road at Lukoil. Recommended.
And yes, the Kuban lives fat. Against its background, the Voronezh region looks pale, and even the steppe agricultural Crimea is a complete rogue. What can I say - here even candy cockerels grow the size of a palm! And it was I, I suppose, who plucked it unripe ...
3. Motel
There is a motel at the Olkhovsky state farm, which can be booked through booking and has free Wi-Fi in the rooms.
At the state farm, Carl!
But in Europe, sometimes even in an expensive hotel in the center of Vienna there is no Wi-Fi, only one outlet in the wall, but if there is one, then by all means, if you please, give a couple of euros to poverty. And the speed is shit, to be honest.
The motel cost one and a half thousand rubles for a double room with separate beds (I went with my daughter) and was from the category “not rich, but clean”.
There is a shower, a toilet and an electric kettle in the room - what else does a person need to spend the night on the road? The bed, however, is hellishly creaky, and it is better not to turn on the refrigerator - it rumbles like a diesel engine under traction.
But the main thing is that booking through booking worked, in both directions. Civilization! I chose a motel based on mileage - 800 km from Voronezh, 300 km to the ferry. Just in time it was convenient - in the evening I arrived, spent the night, in the morning I jumped to the ferry - and to the Crimea.
4. Ferry
Those who are smart and paid for the ferry online are not driven into the first drive. But - it must be a paper printout. No "show on the screen of the smartphone" does not work. (When I ordered for the return trip, I had to look for a printer in Yalta). So you go past the main line and feel like the most cunning.
True, not for long. On the spit (after 10 km) there is a traffic police post that successfully creates a traffic jam out of the blue.
They selectively check the documents for the car and OSAGO. We went there - checked, back - no. But they stood in both cases.
Then turn to the second drive, the final one. In front of him is an inspection, like at customs - with the passage of passengers through the frames, passing the bags through the X-ray and inspecting the car with a mirror on the handle.
True, they let us through in both directions, looking very formally. Apparently because my daughter and I did not look like desperate shahids coming out, who will gnaw through the bottom of the ferry to spite the Muscovites. Yes, you must have adult passports and a child's birth certificate.
In the last drive, cars are recruited according to the number of seats on the ferry, lining them up in rows.
The ferry has a warm (in summer - air-conditioned) lounge where they sell coffee and sandwiches, but you can also sit in the car if you feel like it. And you can go out and take a picture of the sea and impudent seagulls.
Yes, everyone is trying to see the bridge under construction - but no, it is in a different place, it is not visible from the ferry.
The ferry goes quickly, literally half an hour - and unloading begins from the side opposite to loading, so it’s convenient to leave.
That's all, that's Crimea.
5. Crimea. Roads.
The road from Kerch to Yalta through Simferopol is terrible in places, in places it is already new - but everywhere there is one lane in each direction. Now, out of season, this can be overcome without much effort - well, it’s not fast, well, it’s shaking, well, trucks collect their tail ... But it’s scary to imagine what will happen in the summer, when thousands of vacationers rush onto this narrow path.
Gasoline and diesel fuel here +2 rubles to Voronezh, stable. There are sprawling local networks, but Lukoil was also found hiding in the bushes from the sanctions. My gentle common rail turbodiesel ate a whole tank of local diesel and didn't choke.
The roads around Yalta are such that two cars do not pass everywhere. Several times I had to back up along the almost vertical serpentines of village passages in order to let the oncoming one pass. There are constant traffic jams in Yalta, it is also very narrow in the center, traffic is heavy, intersections are often unregulated and difficult to pass. However, people drive somehow calmer than ours, skips from a secondary one, lets them turn around, does not honk heart-rendingly and does not tear their hearts.
Almost all parking lots in the center are paid (one hundred rubles), and even then you will find free space in FIG. And it's March-April! It's scary to imagine what will happen in the summer.
6. Crimea. Realities.
You can talk a lot about Crimea, but all these impressions are chaotic and casual. First impression — zasrat to incredible. No, really, some garbage. Garbage-garbage-garbage.
Later, I understood the reason - in our place of residence, in order to take out the garbage into the container, it was necessary to carry the bags up the stairs several kilometers up. Approximately, like the tenth floor without an elevator. We know that not everyone delivers...
It’s bad with utilities, but since the sanatoriums in the district have quietly become departmental by various Russian security forces, they are being intensively reconstructed and there is a chance that the surroundings will be cleaned and garbage collection will be arranged. I don’t know how to relate to this - on the one hand, with x * hlah, they all turned into ruins and heaps of shit, and on the other hand, why exactly and only departments?
Former Panina's Palace, aka former children's sanatorium Yasnaya Polyana is now owned by the Customs Service of the Russian Federation. This is their flag.
Off the coast, Miskhor Park has already been licked, cleaned and trimmed.
The first timid spring loot pumps have already crawled out to bask in the sun, invitingly shining with bright tinsel. An obese tourist will soon, buzzing, fly in, like a bumblebee, carrying pollen on its paws ...
And you can’t say that a hellish srach is a hundred meters above and there is garbage under every bush. A tourist will be cut here soon! The tourist is gentle and shy. But in vain - you go down the Alupka highway like that - on the left behind the fence of the FSB, on the right of the FSO. You go up - on the left the FSO fenced off a piece of Miskhor, the FSB on the right occupied Chair Park. You feel - the Motherland is near!
A pleasant feeling of security, but not simple - state!
It's funny that with Ukrainians behind the same fences there were the same FSB and FSO, only Ukrainian. And under the USSR - Soviet. Most likely, even the same people were sitting in the same booths. The flags were just changed - and all the worries.
Governments come and go, intelligence agencies remain. And Golden Lenin watches from the mountain with an unsleeping eye ...
And everywhere the same portrait of the Dark One, with an unusually sly expression on his face...
Another local trouble is the frenzied building of all high-rise buildings. Everywhere you look, some fresh concrete casting sticks out. Pandemic of concrete casting. They are pushed into every free patch of soil, which is why they sometimes have a rather bizarre shape. This developed under the Ukrainians, but the Russian administration is in no hurry to restore order. Of course, with the complete absence of roads and barely living communications, this turns into a real disaster, not to mention the fact that in some places there is almost nothing left of the relic parks.
Initially, Miskhor and Gaspra looked something like this - huts from a local cheap shell rock.
But then the Khokhlooligarchs, the “new Ukrainians,” built palaces for themselves wherever there were enough square meters of flat space.
The remaining patches were divided as best they could, sticking bizarrely shaped eurosheds hanging over the slopes. Crimean architecture - when there is nowhere to build, but you really want to ...
It seems that in a few years the entire coast will turn into a huge beehive conglomerate, where the roof of one house will turn into the foundation of another.
So far, there is no political will to stop this, and the power gap is being filled with solid real estate swindlers. All poles and fences are plastered with advertisements for extreme land surveying services and uncompromising land acquisition.
But this is all, I tell you, complete garbage against the backdrop of the greatness of nature. What the fuck is the difference, who there once again re-privatized the privatized or re-plundered the loot, when there are such mountains? And is the sea? And the air here is such that you can eat handfuls from both hands, stuffing into yourself this smell of everything blooming, sweet to the point of stupefaction.
7. Crimea. Gen.
Crimea is kind of stuck in the 90s. I have not seen such flea markets in the city center for a long time ...
Meanwhile, the stores are full of groceries. The main producers are Voronezh, Kuban, Belarus. Prices are the same as ours.
In non-food - the same abundance and also Voronezh is present:
Well, the range of local wines defies any description at all ...
Light - yes, turn off. It is a sign of the times that generators are everywhere.
We also felt like real Crimeans - we sat without electricity. Only two hours a day, a scheduled shutdown, but a very inconvenient time - at 20.30 to 22.30. Most when needed. In addition, in our housing there, everything was electric - from heating to water supply. So I had to go to bed simply and without fuss, without even drinking tea. Within a week, they got involved, becoming inveterate larks - since the entire Internet, including mobile, disappeared with the light, it only remained to fight back at nine in the evening.
Most of all, out of habit, I was strained by the need to pay in cash everywhere, I somehow usually use cards more. Nevertheless, in large stores they are already starting to accept credit cards, I paid once.
Crimea even has its own Jean-Jacques, though without smoothies and meatballs:
So hipsters will find something to entertain themselves with ...
Yalta bow - red and flat. We also sell it, but it seems that the Chinese are painting and flattening their own. And the Yalta sweet-a-dky ...
Another interesting observation is that despite the underdevelopment and some clumsiness of the service, the level of goodwill here is unusually high. People are not serving a number, but really rushing to help you, going beyond the scope of their official duties. So, for example, the parking attendant jumped out onto the roadway and stood, arms outstretched, across the traffic so that we could taxi in the right direction (it was one-way), supermarket workers were looking for wrapping paper for us to pack glasses ... And so on. No, nothing supernatural, but enough to draw attention to it.
8. Crimea. Internet.
The fact that here is trying to impersonate "mobile Internet" by our standards does not even pull on a mockery. One hundred kilobits with a tailwind, waving a mobile router from a balcony. Three ji? No, we haven't. But the edge is barely squeezed out somehow.
A little better in the center of Yalta, but this is also not 4G even once.
I must say that telegrams are the last to give up with a dead connection.
Two operators - MTS and TELE2 allow you to use the Internet in Crimea at home.
Beeline and Megafon, on the contrary, will take off your last shirt, as if you were not in Russia, but in some kind of Honduras.
Wired Internet, however, is available - a 100-megabit one costs 440 rubles a month and was connected on the day of the appeal (there were already wires in the apartment). Although, in order to apply, I still had to lock myself in the center of Yalta, and there was no way to connect and pay on the same day - first the Internet, then payment. Surprisingly, it's not the other way around. Inconvenience - the Internet here cannot be paid online and checked in your personal account. So far, the local service has not reached this point, although it would seem ... The Internet is annoyingly unstable even on wires - now and then it disappears in an unpredictable rhythm, it is extremely difficult to work. Everything is attributed to blackouts.
Yes, an amusing trick is to buy MTS SIM cards in Crimea. I don’t know how the locals manage here, but they sell MTS SIM cards for tourists Krasnodar Territory with Super MTS tariff. One would be nothing, but a call from such a tariff to Voronezh to any operator other than MTS costs an absurd 12 rubles per minute, which is more expensive than from Voronezh Beeline, which ignores the fact that Crimea is Russia and considers itself in international roaming.
But that's not even the funniest part. The fact is that on a purchased SIM card, you can’t change the tariff either via USSD or via LC, and you can’t transfer money recklessly thrown onto it to another number, because, despite the “complete registration with a passport”, the contract turns out not to be for you, but to some legal entity. In the personal account, it is listed as "Dear subscriber."
By the way, they offer to buy the same SIM card without registration, but for a hundred rubles more, although in both cases it turns out not to be on you. In general, without sucker life is bad.
I don’t know if there are MTS SIM cards with other tariffs (I didn’t buy this one). But, in any case, most likely they will be issued through the same ass, because MTS pretends that it is not here, and it’s not like they are at all, but like real roaming. In general, the most correct way to mobile communications in Crimea is to buy an MTS SIM card with a tariff from Smart to Smart + in your home region. So it's cheaper to call home from Crimea.
I also fell under international sanctions - in Crimea I was unable to update my smartphone applications via GooglePlay. In general, I don’t care, I try to update them less often so as not to litter the memory. I just found out that in the new Yandex maps they switched from raster to vector and decided to see how it looks.
However, for local android users, this probably causes some inconvenience. Yes, almost everything can be found and put past Googleplay, or use VPN, but these are unnecessary gestures. It's funny that the iPad was updated without problems.
Already purely out of sporting interest, I installed the ZenMate vpn service (you can frolic up to 500 MB there for free), changed the country to the USA, and everything was installed.
So far, I can’t say that Yandex Maps has become fundamentally better with the transition to vector, but the download volumes have definitely become smaller.
But I was not very pleased with Yandex.Navigator, which was in charge on this trip - all the time he tried to lead me into some kind of gloomy ridges (wide straight roads are not for him, he loves to cut the route through some yards) and , when the rotten local mobile internet forgot who he was and where he was. There is no warning about cameras in it at all, a completely raw service - it starts yelling “camera!” When it has long passed. But, in general, I never got lost anywhere, so I got lost a few times, no more.
8. Conclusions.
I don’t know what to display here ... Well, okay:
1. Go to Crimea by car off-season simple, fast and inexpensive. Especially when compared to other methods. In the summer, I suspect, it will be much worse, but I still plan to dangle in June in order to bathe the children in the surf. Yes, it will be hard by car, but it’s 15-20 thousand for a round trip for four, and by plane for a direct flight - 80 thousand, through Moscow - 40 thousand, but with a connection at 15 hours. There is something to suffer. (Perhaps, in the summer there will be cheaper direct flights of low-cost airlines, but so far they cannot be ordered).
2. Living (in the sense of eating) in the Crimea in the off-season is not more expensive than in Voronezh (minus housing), I think that this will not change during the season.
3. In general, I liked Crimea, despite some things that enrage me. But these things are everywhere. Hopefully there will be less of them.
4. I consider any discussions about politics in the comments extremely inappropriate, I will answer everyday questions - but do not expect much, I was not there for long, saw little and was very busy with the things I came for.
5. Go to Telegram, I will go there more and more from other publics. This, as it turned out, saves a lot of time, which I now have a desperate shortage of. A publication on FB or LiveJournal eats up the rest of the day with comments and discussions, but posted it on Telegram and forgot it. The beauty!
A vacation in April did not provide many options for a trip, especially for traveling by car.
We decided to go to the Crimea, especially since we are there in last time were 8 years ago, and we wanted to visit well-known places.
Having outlined the route and prepared for the trip, we hit the road.
Roads.
We traveled the following route: Belgorod-Korocha-Alekseevka-Rossosh-Boguch ar-M4-Korenovsk-Timashevsk and then on the ferry.
The Korocha-Alekseevka road is currently under repair, so it is a long and slow ride, and there are a lot of holes on it.
The M4 highway turned out to be quite free, without traffic jams and a large flow, which is understandable - the beginning of April is not the season. A couple of sections were in the final repair, which, however, did not really affect the speed.
After Timashevsk, everything was fine - the roads are in excellent condition, fresh markings have been applied, there are more than enough signs - and all this at the beginning of April. We can say that the Krasnodar Territory has prepared for the summer season and the traffic flow of tourists.
We drove back from Timashevsk through Leningradskaya to Kushchevskaya - and everything was fine there too.
Having bought tickets for the ferry and having passed the inspection, we loaded quite quickly - the entire standing in the drive lasted about 10 minutes (this is because it is not the season). The drive was generally empty, it’s better not to think about what is happening here in the summer. The employees of the crossing work promptly, without delays; there was a small queue for tickets - and immediately two more cash desks opened.
A railroad ferry was loading nearby. 
After some time we set sail. It was sunny, the panorama of the bridge under construction across the Kerch Strait was clearly visible. 
Having unloaded in the port "Crimea" we continued our way. The difference between the roads of the Kuban and the Crimea is striking - you can see it right away.
I was especially impressed by the roads from the port to the city and in Kerch itself. The worst thing is the lack of informational road signs, you can’t do without a navigator in any way or you need to ask for directions from local residents. Interchanges are not marked, there are no signs, the roads are in need of repair for a long time. Kerch made a depressing impression on me, despite the sunny spring day and flowering trees. Surprising is the fact that the city authorities do nothing to improve the city, even in favorable situation- Kerch was at the crossroads of traffic flows to the Crimea.
Roads in Crimea have just begun to be rebuilt and repaired, hence the frequent traffic jams. Also annoying is the lack of pointers, compared to Krasnodar Territory- straight trouble.
The first stop was made in Sudak. It is unusual to see this city completely without vacationers - the embankment is empty, all the establishments on Cypress Alley are either closed or preparing for the summer season - they are being repaired, painted, whitewashed.
Subbotniks are held in the city (and in general in the whole of Crimea), and not formal ones, but real ones. We, leaving on Saturday already at 8 in the morning, found many citizens cleaning the streets of the city.

Morning guests. 
Yalta met us with excellent weather and an influx of citizens and vacationers on the embankment. However, after a few days the weather worsened and it began to rain.
We rented an apartment near the embankment and had a wonderful time in the city. The price of food was not pleasing - too high, gasoline is also expensive.
Yalta residents are also preparing for the summer season - they repair and paint everything they can. 
Fog in Yalta

Of course, we were worried about the blackout in the Crimea.
We faced a blackout, although it was occasionally, in the evenings the power was turned off for 1 or 2 hours. The authorities also limited electricity consumption and turned off the lighting of the streets and the embankment.
