By train to Loo

There is a railway station in Loo (station on the map), where all long-distance trains to Sochi and Abkhazia, as well as commuter trains from Sochi, Adler, Krasnodar, Sochi airport, and Tuapse stop. Also in the village there is another station "mountain air", which is convenient to go to if your hotel/accommodation is located in the Uch-Dere microdistrict/Mountain Air. But at this station they do not stop long-distance trains, and rare electric trains stop, so carefully look at the timetable.

Check the schedule and buy tickets better on the official website of Russian Railways or at the ticket offices of your city. When buying on the site, it is better to first register in the Russian Railways bonus system in order to save points for the next trips.

Loo station is in the centre of the resort and most hotels are within walking distance upon arrival. If you walk far to your place of rest, you can take a taxi from 69 when ordering through the application, or use the services of "Bombil" from 100 rubles.

By bus to Loo

There is no bus station in Loo, passing intercity buses stop next to the railway station. City buses of Greater Sochi stop at stops on the Main Street of The Decembrists, it is also the main road E6 along the coast in Sochi.

Intercity buses passing through the Loo to the center of Sochi can be reached from Moscow and neighboring regions (Rostov-on-Don, Stavropol, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kislovodsk, Makhachkala, Astrakhan, Yalta, Kislovodsk). The last few hours of the trip will take place along the mountain serpentines of the coastal highway with a long standstill in traffic jams on the section after Dzhubga, which is unlikely to add pleasant impressions to your rest. Therefore, we do not recommend using buses as long-distance transport. However, this is the only option if you need to get to Loo from the cities and resorts of the Krasnodar Territory that do not have a railway connection. This is for example Dzhubga, Gelendzhik, Arkhipo-Osipovka, Anapa, Novorossiysk and other cities and resorts to the North Tuapse.

You can buy bus tickets to and from Loo in long-distance directions on the website Tutu.ru. Bus schedules in the Krasnodar Territory here - kpas.ru.

Distance to Loo from cities/regions of the Russian Federation on the highway:

• Moscow-1600 kilometers / 26 hours
• St. Petersburg-2300 kilometers / 34 hours
• Krasnodar-265 kilometers / 6 hours on the road
• Samara-1800 kilometers / 30 hours

From Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of the European part of the Russian Federation, you can get along the M4-don toll Federal Highway with high-speed sections and good roadside infrastructure. The minimum cost of all paid plots will be from 1720 rubles. You can drive part of the way on a paid Road, and part on a free road. For all information about toll booths and payment procedures, see on the Rosavtodor website. You can drive the entire route on free roads, but then spend an additional few hours, because you have to go through settlements with traffic jams. From Samara, Kazan, Ufa and other cities to the east, you can drive on completely free roads through Volgograd.

The worst section of the 150-kilometer route begins after Dzhubga. At the height of the tourist season, it can take up to 6 hours to overcome it, so if possible, plan its passage at night or early in the morning. Alternatively, you can go around the Dzhubga-Tuapse section through the Shahumyan pass, but this road is 75 kilometers longer, besides, you will have to drive 7 kilometers through the pass on a terribly dusty and uncomfortable gravel road. If you decide to go through the pass, then the decision to detour should be taken in Krasnodar or, in extreme cases, in Goryachy Klyuch, since later you can not turn off the detour.

Going on vacation in Loo you probably have a question, Where to park a car for a long time. The streets in Loo are very narrow, everything is densely built up, so it will not be easy to find a free parking space, but it is possible. Most hotels, guest houses and private houses with housing for rent offer free parking space on their territory, which you can find out at the stage of selecting accommodation in the booking systems. If there is no parking or places are running out, you will probably be offered "your" place on the street within walking distance with the accommodation. If you can not find a suitable free place, you will have to put the car in a paid parking lot. They are in different places of the resort and even near the beach, the cost is 200 rubles/day.

Refueling in loo, as well as in other resorts of Greater Sochi, is best at branded network gas stations Lukoil, Rosneft, Gazpromneft, which are widely represented here. There is no gas station directly in the center of loo, but just a couple of kilometers from the center there is Gazpromneft (towards Sochi) and Rosneft (towards Tuapse and Lazarevskoye). The price of gasoline, as usual in the South, is higher by 5-10% than in other regions of the European part of the Russian Federation.

How to get to Loo from other resorts in Sochi

From other resorts and villages of Greater Sochi to Loo can be reached by city buses and taxis or trains.

Unfortunately, buses and minibuses connect the resort only with the center of Sochi and with the resorts and villages of the Lazarevsky district, which means that from Adler, the airport, Khosta, Krasnaya Polyana, Sirius and other microdistricts south of the center you will have to get by bus with a transfer at the bus station near the Central Railway Station of Sochi. However, there are no big difficulties with this, since the bus change takes place at one stop, you will not need to go anywhere. Nevertheless, buses and minibuses are the last type of transport that we would recommend to use for long – distance travel around Greater Sochi. After all, it is worth recalling that the length of the city along the coast is more than 100 kilometers, which, coupled with traffic jams and serpentine, will make a long trip a real test and loss of time. In addition, do not forget that the serpentines can be seasick.

If you do decide to use the buses, to search for route and trip planning, you can use the map application, Google, Yandex, 2GIS. There is also the official app of the Department of Transportation "Transport.Sochi" and site transport.sochi.ru.

It is much more convenient to use trains. Along the entire Sochi coast, a railway runs through all the resorts, along which long-distance trains and electric trains run. It is more profitable to use electric trains: they are significantly cheaper than trains and make more stops. Fare for a landmark:

• Sochi railway station-Loo - 80 rubles.
• Lazarevskoye-Loo – 120 rubles.
• Airport-loo-256 rubles.

Transport in Loo, what to use

Loo resort is small, the center is very compact, so it is most convenient to move around it on foot. If you need to get to the neighboring beaches or from the railway station to the hotel, you can use city buses or taxis.

City buses of Greater Sochi pass through the resort along the main Dekabristov street every 15-20 minutes, making stops at several stops within the loo. The fare is paid in cash or by bank card at the entrance to the driver.
