How to get to Adler from Sochi airport

The International Airport of Sochi named after V. I. Sevastianov, or simply Adler airport, is located just a couple of kilometers from the center of the resort (airport on the map). From the exit from the terminal with light luggage to some hotels can be reached even on foot, or take a taxi, city buses, leave the airport by rented transport.

There are also trains (Aeroexpress) that are very convenient to get from the airport to more remote resorts of Sochi, for example to the center, Lazarevskoye, Krasnaya Polyana, etc. But to use the trains to get to the hotel in Adler, there is no great sense.

And now detailed instructions about each of the methods with a schedule and cost, using which you can easily get from the airport to any place in Adler:

Taxi

• 🕐 travel time: 10-20 minutes.
• 💵 cost: from 200 rubles.

You can order a taxi at the official counter in the arrivals hall (500 USD) or through the applications of aggregators Yandex.Taxi, Uber, Gett and Citymobil (about 200 rubles to the center). If you do not have mobile internet, then you can use free airport WiFi to order or call a car by phone from one of the taxi companies or aggregators:

• Red Taxi +7 (862) 290-00-00
• Maxim +7 (862) 222-22-22
• Yandex +7 (862) 444-44-42
• Lucky +7 (862) 244-44-44
• Citymobil +7 (862) 300-00-00
• Tap Taxi +7 (862) 448-48-48

Unfortunately, ordering a cheap taxi on the meter through aggregators is fraught with a long wait: sometimes you can wait an hour, and not wait for the car. In this case, you will have to take an official car at the counter, which is more expensive, or use the services of local "bombers", which in the end is even more expensive. True, with "bombers" it is good that if you travel alone, they help to share the cost of the trip with other passengers, for which they themselves select fellow travelers in the direction you need.

Well, if you want to get there comfortably and avoid possible problems with taxi delays, you can pre-order a ready-made tourist transfer with a meeting with the driver at the airport, or for a trip from the hotel to the airport at a certain time. You can order such a transfer from kiwitaxi or intui.travel. Just keep in mind that a short-distance transfer will cost more, so it is better to use it for long and long trips.

Rent a car

• 🕐 travel time: 10-20 minutes.
• 💵 cost: from 50 rubles (carsharing), from 1300 rubles (daily).

At the airport there are several rental offices for long-term car rental, the counters are located in the arrivals hall. But it is more profitable to rent a car in advance via the Internet on one of the search and comparison sites from different distributors, and get a ready-made car at the airport. Carsharing with Per-Minute payment Belkacar is also available, the rental price starts from 5 rubles/minute. You can read more about these types of rentals here.

We advise you to use these proven sites for searching and booking cars:

City buses

• 🕐 travel time: 20-30 minutes.
• 💵 cost: from 28 rubles.

City buses are inexpensive and in principle applicable for travel from the airport. But it must be borne in mind that in Adler they pass only along Lenin Street, deep into the area with hotels near the beach without stopping by. So you may have to walk from the bus stop, which, of course, is not very convenient with large suitcases and children.

The bus stop at the airport is immediately at the exit from the arrivals hall on the lower level. Payment of the fare at the entrance to the driver by card or cash. The cost starts from 28 rubles and depends on the distance, so you need to name the Place, Hotel or destination area. There are the following flights:

• No. 557. passes through the whole center of Adler to the railway station, and then to Sirius past Olympic Park.
• No. 558. first goes to the railway station, then to the "resort town" and only then returns to the center of the resort. Ends the movement at the checkpoint "Psou" in Abkhazia.
• No. 105 and No. 105C. To the railway station and to the center of Sochi, and in the other direction in Krasnaya Polyana.
• №535. Through the center of Adler to the railway station, and then to Sirius, and the other way to Krasnaya Polyana.
• №219. To the railway station and in the other direction to Krasnaya Polyana.
• №221. Through the center of Adler to the railway station and in the other direction to Krasnaya Polyana.

Trains (Aeroexpress)

• 🕐 travel time: 9-14 minutes.
• 💵 cost: from 56 rubles.

Trains (Aeroexpress) - this is actually a cool mode of transport in Sochi, but specifically from the airport to the place of rest in the resort area of Adler, it is not very useful, because trains do not run often, besides, you will have to get to the hotel from the destination stop. Nevertheless, in Adler, the train makes two stops: at the railway station of Adler and the Stop "Izvestia"(Microdistrict "resort town").

The station is located right at the airport, you can get from the terminal via a covered passage, there are signs where to go. You can buy tickets at the box office or vending machines, when buying you need to specify the destination station. Cost (in 2021):

• Airport-Railway Station Adler-56 rubles / 9 minutes on the way.
• Airport-stop "Izvestia" - 96 rubles / 14 minutes on the way.
