  But a trip from Sochi airport to Shepsi by car is not the best idea, at least during the day. Due to the difficult Serpentine Road and constant traffic jams during the day, a taxi ride can take from 4 to 10 hours, and the trip will not be easy. Due to sharp acceleration and braking, numerous turns, not everyone can withstand it. If you still decide to go by road, then at least use a taxi or tourist transfer from 4800 rubles, not a bus.

By train to Shepsey

At Shepsi station, long-distance trains do not stop, but only electric trains stop. Therefore, you need to get here by train through the railway station Tuapse. Theoretically, you can also go to Krasnodar and change trains there to Shepsi, but there is no big point in this, you will only lose time.

Trains to Tuapse in the summer season go from most regions of the Russian Federation, but the direction is very popular (trains to Sochi), so it is better to buy tickets in advance, at least a month before the trip. Checking the schedule and buying tickets now is best on the official website of Russian Railways or at the ticket office. When buying through the site, it is better to first register in the Russian Railways bonus system and save points for the next trip.

Upon arrival at the railway station in Tuapse, you can finally get to Shepsi by train or taxi from 600 rubles. There are a lot of trains during the day, but there are time gaps during the day, so it's better to check it in advance before the trip, for example at Yandex. schedules. On the way, the train is only 13 minutes, costs 38 rubles. Arrives at the Shepsi platform station opposite the beach (Station on the map). you can walk from it to your location in the village.

By bus to Shepsi

Shepsi is located on the highway through which the long-distance bus to Sochi passes, but, unfortunately, not all of them make a stop here. In some cases, you can agree with the driver that he dropped you off here, but you will still have to buy a ticket to a more distant point of the official stop, and accordingly overpay for it.

Therefore, it is easiest to go to Shepsi from other cities and regions by intercity buses through Tuapse, where there is a large bus station. It can be reached by buses from the cities of the Krasnodar Territory and neighboring regions of the Russian Federation, during the tourist season flights from Moscow and other distant regions are launched. Buses go to at least Krasnodar, Novorossiysk, Temryuk, Rostov-On-Don, Essentuki, Mineralnye Vody, Kislovodsk, Astrakhan, Vladikavkaz, Makhachkala, Mineralnye Vody, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Feodosia, Taganrog, Khasavyurt, Nalchik, Yalta. It is best to check the schedule for long-distance destinations at bus stations and travel agencies in your city, or you can view them on the Websites rasp.yandex.ru and bus.tutu.ru, but not all flights are represented. All domestic routes in the Krasnodar Territory are available on the website kpas.ru.

When you arrive at the bus station, you need to transfer to a suburban bus (costs 42 rubles, 20-30 minutes on the way, departure every hour) or a taxi from 600 rubles. The bus does not enter the tourist part of the village, but makes a stop on the main highway (Shepsi stop on the map). From here you have to get to the place of rest on foot about a kilometer.

By car in Shepsi

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

• Moscow-1535 kilometers / 21 hours
• St. Petersburg-2255 kilometers / 31 hours
• Krasnodar-200 kilometers / 4 hours on the way
• Samara-1720 kilometers / 27 hours
• Kazan-1980 kilometers / 30 hours
• Nizhny Novgorod-1720 kilometers / 26 hours
• UFA-2200 kilometers / 34 hours

You can go from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Rostov-On-Don on the toll Federal Highway M4-don. The fare will be from 1720 rubles, if you pay with a contactless transponder, and a little more expensive with cash payment at checkpoints. See on the Rosavtodor website, and in the same place as and where to purchase and use the transponder. You can go on free roads, but spend much more time, because you have to go through settlements and stand in traffic jams.

The last 200 kilometers of the way after Krasnodar can be done on one of two routes. To decide which one to choose, we recommend that you monitor the state of traffic in Yandex. Navigator:

• Through Dzhubga. An excellent highway with a speed limit of 110 km/h leads to Dzhubga, but after Dzhubga serpentines and resort villages begin, the passage through which is very difficult, especially during the tourist season in the daytime. Even without an accident due to pedestrian crossings and narrowing of roads in the villages, you can get into many hours of traffic jams, and if an accident occurs with a lane lock, then a four-hour trip can easily turn into an eight-hour one.
• Through Shahumyan pass. An alternative route leads through Khadyzhensk and the Shahumyan pass (Shahumyansky), and allows you to avoid traffic jams on the Dzhubga-Tuapse section. The road here is narrow, but rarely congested. But the problem is that six kilometers of the pass will have to drive along a rocky dirt serpentine road with a minimum speed. This section is very dusty, trucks on it move very slowly, overtaking is difficult and prohibited, so for these six kilometers you will have to spend 30-60 minutes.

Transport

Shepsi is a small village, and to get from anywhere to the beach or to the hotel from the bus stop – transport is not needed, everything is available on foot. Actually, there is no transport in Shepsi, not even a taxi. Only sometimes near the bus stop in the center you can find taxi drivers on duty by the road "bombed", but this is rather an exception.

But to move to the neighboring resorts and beaches of the Tuapse district and in Greater Sochi, you can use suburban transport. For trips in the direction of Tuapse, you can use trains and suburban buses, but in the direction of Sochi, we recommend using only trains, because it is much faster than riding a bus or car along serpentines. Even if you have a personal car, we advise you to go by train.

• Commuter bus

  Bus number 164 runs between Shepsi and Tuapse bus station in the daytime from 07:00 to 19:00 approximately every hour. Travel costs 42 rubles, 20-40 minutes on the way, depending on traffic jams. If you need to go further along the Tuapse district, you will have to change to other buses in the direction of Dzhubga.

• Trains

  By regular trains and high-speed "Swallows" during the day you can get to Tuapse, Krasnodar, Rostov-On-Don and the resorts of Sochi up to the mountain Rosa Khutor. On the route there are two carriers Kuban Express-prigorod and Russian Railways/FPC. Buying tickets at the station is impossible, so just get on the train and pay the fare to the conductors who go through the cars. Payment is made in cash or by card, the cost depends on the distance, for which you need to name the destination station.
