• Moscow-1660 kilometers / 25 hours
• St. Petersburg-2370 kilometers / 33 hours
• Krasnodar-325 kilometers / 7 hours on the road

The route to Adler and the village of Sirius from Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of the Western (European) part of the Russian Federation usually passes along the high-speed Federal Highway M4-Don with partially paid sections. The fare on it will be from 1720 rubles. For all information about toll booths and payment procedures, see on the Rosavtodor website. You can bypass the paid sections of the M4 on free roads, but then you will spend an additional few hours, since you will have to go through settlements with traffic jams.

The most difficult section of the road will have to be overcome after Krasnodar. In order to drive these 325 kilometers, at the height of the tourist season, it can take up to 8 hours due to constant traffic jams. The situation is particularly difficult on the section from Dzhubga to Tuapse and further to the center of Sochi, so if possible, plan to travel this Section at night or early in the morning. If at the entrance to Krasnodar on the navigator you will see that the road Dzhubga-Tuapse is in a dead traffic jam, then this section can be bypassed through the Shahumyansky pass. This road is 75 kilometers longer, and through the pass you have to drive 7 kilometers on a terribly dusty and uncomfortable Macadam road.

Refueling in the resorts of Sochi is best at branded network gas stations Lukoil, Rosneft, Gazpromneft. In Sirius and Adler there are gas stations of all these brands. 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.

And now as for parking and moving around the resort in a private car. Although the roads in Sirius are new and wide, there are almost no free parking, everywhere there are signs prohibiting parking and even stopping. Even hotels offer only paid parking, but for their guests at a discount:

• Regular paid parking-500 rubles/day.
• For hotel guests-300 rubles/day.
• Hourly parking – 50 rubles / hour.

If you do not plan to actively move by car, then you can use inexpensive paid parking away from hotels at the intersection of Parashnaya Street and Morskoy Boulevard, 100 rubles/day.

Free parking is sparse and usually filled in season. But you can try, they are:

• On Tavricheska Street near the entrance to the Ornithological park of the Imereti lowland.
• Intersection of Triumfalnaya Street and Marine Boulevard.
• Intersection of Golubaya Street and Morskoy Boulevard.

If you decide to park the car in Sirius in the wrong place, you may well get a fine from photofixation or find it in the parking lot.

Transport

The village of Sirius, although no longer part of Adler and Sochi, is still served by the city's transport system of buses and trains. You can travel by bus both inside the resort and take them to any place in Greater Sochi and to resorts of Krasnaya Polyana. The cost of travel in buses from 28 rubles, depends on the distance and is charged by zone. Payment is made at the entrance to the salon to the driver in cash or by bank card.

Trains from Sirius depart from two stations: "Olympic Village" and "Imereti resort". With all its advantages, and this is the fastest way to move between the resorts of Greater Sochi, it is not very convenient to use them for trips inside and out of the village. The fact is that the stations are located quite far from tourist places and the location of hotels. In addition, electric trains at these stations are quite rare.

There are plenty of options for renting transport here. All the streets are filled with bicycles and scooters for per-minute rental, daily and hourly bicycle rental is widely represented, there is per-minute car rental (carsharing) BelkaCar.

For trips to distant attractions, you can use a taxi at a negotiated price, since this is often cheaper than ordering through applications. So, in the resort there are traditional places where car drivers are on duty, making flights to Krasnaya Polyana, the center of Sochi and other resorts. They collect several passengers, thereby making the cost of the trip lower. For example, you can go to Krasnaya Polyana for 250 rubles/person, and to the center of Sochi for 200 rubles. You can find out where such taxis come from from local residents or at the hotel. For example, this place is near the bus stops "Sirius Center" and "Sochi Park", at the intersection of Olympic Avenue and Voskresenskaya Street, near the final stop of the buses "State Farm "Russia".
