Depending on the chosen method, the road will take from one and a half to four hours. Let's analyze each of the methods:

• By taxi

  Since the work of aggregators and official taxi applications is blocked in the Crimea, the car will have to be searched on the spot, ordered at the counter when leaving the airport or negotiate with drivers in the parking lot. But be careful with private "bombilami", as the price of a trip with them may be higher. When you agree on the price, be sure to make sure that you have agreed on the price for the whole car and to the end point, otherwise on arrival in the form of a surprise you can find out that you have to pay the agreed price for each passenger. On the other hand, private traders offer favorable options for a joint trip with other passengers to share the price. But they themselves can pick up fellow travelers for you, and you will divide the cost for all passengers, which will be beneficial for single travelers.

  If a direct bus according to the schedule does not suit you or there is not enough space, then you can get there with a transfer through Simferopol.

By train to Evpatoria you can get from Simferopol, Sevastopol, Bakhchisaray, Saki. There are both slow trains with many stops at small stations, and fast ones with stops only at large city stations.

To Evpatoria by car

By car from the regions of the Russian Federation to the Crimea it is necessary to call on the new Crimean Bridge, travel on it is free. Theoretically, the possibility of entry through the territory of Ukraine has been preserved, but we advise even considering this option at the present time. After entering the peninsula, you can reach Yevpatoria by car along one of these routes:

• Via Simferopol. This route with a length of 370 kilometers passes along the New excellent Tavrida highway, which in a good situation on the roads can be overcome in 4 hours, but in practice it is better to count on 5-6 hours. Along the way, there are rest stops and new chain gas stations on this highway. After Evpatoria, the road becomes worse, but only 30 kilometers will remain on it.
• Along the Southern Railway through Koktebel, Sudak, Alushta, and then through Simferopol or Sevastopol. This route is longer by 100 kilometers, but is considered more picturesque, since it runs along the coast along serpentines. But to drive it, you will need almost a full day of light, and perhaps even an overnight stay along the way. Therefore, we recommend it only if you want to travel around the peninsula and visit other resorts and places along the way.

Refuel in the Crimea is better at local network gas stations Atan, Vesta, T-neft, Formula, Toby, CRS, Redpetrol. Gasoline and diesel here are about 5% higher than on the "mainland", so it is better to fill a full tank before entering the bridge. At most local gas stations, you can pay in cash and a bank card without Commission.
