Main ways
Car rental
First of all, motorists propose to consider the option with flight to Simferopol (how cheaper to fly) and car rental directly in the Crimea (all the nuances of renting a car in the Crimea). This is the most fast and convenient way, plus full mobility on site. AT I’m doing this lately, tired of long hauls.
Immediately I recommend that you take the car through the service MyRentaCar. Fucking convenient! No need to scour the sites and distributors to compare conditions, everything is collected in one place. I also know this service is still in Montenegro / Czech Republic, very good recommended.
By car to the Crimea
If you still decide to get to the Crimea from Moscow on your car, then to the Crimea, you can try to get there in one go. Need to go on the highway M-4 through Krasnodar, and you can leave after Rostov on Timashevsk and Slavyansk-on-Kuban. But it seems to me at least one night should be done, after all 2000 km to go.
I personally can not sit so long behind the wheel, the more I am alone the driver and usually ride with the child. Therefore, I always do 2 overnight stays: in Voronezh and in Rostov-on-Don. Well, or as an option, you can make one somewhere in the Rostov region, about half of the way.
In general, the M4 highway is good, there should be no problems. how option, still hook on some sights along the way, but then your path will increase significantly in time. Also worth consider that there may be traffic jams in places where repairs are underway. Read more about the trip on the M4 I wrote in a separate post every year. I drive.

- On the way there will be two paid sites, the prices are small, you can not bathe
When preparing for a trip to the Crimea in the summer and by car, count on Own strength and overnight, because after the bridge, even in the Crimea itself go. In some localities (the road along the sea is just goes through them) the roads are very narrow and are parked machines, you can still stand there decently.
The new route of Tavrida has not been fully launched yet; 60 km / h limit, so it unloads the road along the coast is not full.

By bus to the Crimea
You can go straight on the bus without transfers, for example, to Simferopol. The ticket can be purchased online from any large company. Very convenient, like on a plane, you buy in advance, you pay by card, and then you just go to the bus station. On either bus station to take or from intermediaries.
The ticket price is 2500-4000 rubles. 
By bus Moscow – Simferopol
By train to the Crimea
They will have to start the crossing of trains to it was possible to get to the Crimea by train from almost anywhere Russia, but not yet. Therefore, you need to go to Krasnodar or Anapa, and continue to transplant.
I remind you that if you are tortured by the Russian Railways buggy website, then the ticket can be buy through the service TuTu. Thus, first buy a ticket to Railway to Krasnodar and then on the spot take a bus ticket to desired Crimean city. In the season go often. Bus station in Krasnodar is directly opposite the railway. More about buying Railways tickets online.
From Anapa, you can also go to the Crimea, and it is even more convenient, since the bus time will have to drag less, after all the train more comfortable. But keep in mind, buses from there go less often.
And you can also issue a Single ticket from Russian Railways and the United Transport Directorate “. You need to buy on the Russian Railways website or in railway ticket office. For the price of so-so, only reserved seats, but they need to buy in advance.
The service is available from April 30 to September 30. Ticket consists of of two: a train ticket and a bus ticket. It looks like this: you take a train to Anapa / Krasnodar, where you transfer to bus next to the Crimea. Departure time will be less docked as well as on-site workers will accompany and say where to go next. At the same time you do not have to wait for your transport and stand in line for tickets. So you can get to Kerch, Feodosia, Yalta, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Evpatoria and Sudak.
An example of a single ticket to the Crimea
By plane to the Crimea
All flights stay at the airport Simferopol. Yes, there is another Belbek Airport in Sevastopol, but it only serves aircraft Air Force At the cost of air tickets are not much different from the train, if we are talking about a coupe, and sometimes even cheaper by plane will work.
Tickets I usually monitor on two sites: Aviaseels or Skyskanner You can see and inspect the sites themselves airlines that fly to the Crimea, but nothing drastically different you will not see there. These search engines displays all flights of airlines.
The flight time from Moscow to Simferopol is about two hours. In the morning left the house in the evening already in place. Moreover, more and to the Crimea with Heights from the plane look beautiful. And again, at the airport Simferopol (or somewhere else) you can rent a car, this The method is much less time consuming than its drive 2000 km
To get to Crimea through Ukraine
This way to get to Crimea is suitable only for residents. Of Ukraine. Ukrainians can get to Crimea through checkpoints on roads in the Kherson region: Chongar and Armyansk, by bus or on a private car. Get directly to the checkpoint when lack of personal transport is possible only in one way – with the help private carriers.
It looks like this: you are on a train to Kherson (if going to go through Armyansk) or to Novoalekseevka (if plan to drive through Chongar). Further in Kherson / Novoalekseevka take a taxi (there are plenty of them at the station, you have no problems finding them arise), which takes you to the checkpoint. Him go on their own. Go through the control procedure, put a stamp in migration card – and you are in the Crimea! After crossing the border transfer to another taxi and head to the nearest bus station.
The distance from the railway station Novoalekseevka to checkpoint Chongar – 25 kilometers, the cost of a taxi is about 300 rubles per person The five-kilometer zone of the so-called neutral the territory can be walked, or you can ask for a ride. Fortunately, for the waiting time in the queue for checking documents you can have time to agree on this with some driver. For hiking tourists without personal transport more suitable item Armyansk. it due to the fact that the neutral territory that will have to go alone, is only 100 meters (on Chongar it is about 5 km).
If you get to Crimea by car, then be prepared for a thorough inspection that can take from 10 minutes to an hour (without accounting time lost in idle in the queue for verification). There’s nothing you can do about it, you can only advise to go through Chongar, since there are fewer cars at this checkpoint.
In general, the border crossing will take no more than two hours, with no problems with the documents. It is worth noting that railway communication with the Crimea at the moment there is no renewal hope not necessary.
For Russians, there was previously an opportunity to get to the Crimea through Ukraine (across the border with the Kharkiv region, and then through border with the Crimea itself) through the same checkpoints, but only on the basis of the passport. Since 2015, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved order of entry for foreigners – now you need to visit the Crimea special permission. Otherwise it is considered illegal entry and faces prison. Therefore, it is better for Russian citizens not to even try to enter the territory of Crimea from Ukraine, and especially from Crimea to Ukraine
What documents are needed for a trip to the Crimea
If you get to the Crimea from Russia, then one passport (and child’s birth certificate) you will be quite enough. Passport is useful only when you buy a ticket for the plane / train and in the airport. There is no passport control on the way out. continental Russia to the peninsula. Citizens of the Russian Federation have no restrictions in terms of stay in the territory of Crimea.
If your path lies through Ukraine, everything is a little more complicated. There will be passport control and a migration card. So, at the checkpoint you will need to show the internal passport of a citizen of Ukraine or a passport of the Russian Federation, if you are from Russia. Ukrainians are said to be military age can ask military card ( certificate). By law, it’s not necessary to show it, but failure from this procedure can be fraught with consequences, even refusal at the border crossing. Citizens from EU countries can get into Crimea in the presence of the usual tourist visas to enter the Russian Federation.
