Transport in Yevpatoria, how to move around the city

The tourist part of Yevpatoria (tourist area), where tourists spend most of their time, is relatively compact and there is no need to resort to transport to move through it. However, in general, the city is large, besides, some beaches and attractions are located on the outskirts of Yevpatoria, and to get to them, you will have to use transport. Fortunately, in addition to taxis, there is a good and inexpensive public transport system in Yevpatoria, consisting of buses, minibuses and trams.

Taxi in Yevpatoria

Because of the sanctions in Crimea, aggregator applications like Yandex.go, Uber and all the others do not work. You can try to install the applications of local taxi companies UpTaxi, Shark, Maxim, Pickup, but there are constant problems with them: they either don't work well, or they are blocked in the official app stores for working in Crimea. Therefore, the most reliable way is to call a taxi by phone, or get into a car on the street. When landing on the street, as usual, prices in places where tourists gather are inflated, but it is worth walking a few tens of meters, and they fall by half. This is especially true of the bus station and the railway station of Yevpatoria, as well as parking lots near the beaches.

In general, it is best to use an official taxi, and refuse the services of private bombers. There are many taxi companies operating in the city with an order by phone, their phone numbers are easy to find on the Internet, on billboards and ads around the city, on the sides of taxi cars. Here are the popular branded taxis:

• Maxim - tel . +7 36569 999-99, +7 978 709-99-99

Car rental in Yevpatoria

If you prefer complete freedom of movement, you can rent a car in Yevpatoria. However, it is much more convenient and profitable to rent a car immediately at the airport upon arrival or in Simferopol upon arrival by train. Firstly– it will be cheaper this way, and secondly, you will be able to get to the place of rest right away by car, and not spend money on taxis or ride uncomfortable buses. The cost of a day when renting for several days starts from only 650 rubles in low season / from 1400 in high season. In high season, it is recommended to book a car in advance, which can be done on these trusted sites or through the search form and compare the rental costs of different companies:

Bike rental

There are several bike rentals in the city, the cost is from 150 rubles an hour, and from 450 rubles a day. With a bicycle, sometimes they give a map with interesting bike routes and recommendations on the way. You can find rentals in several places, the easiest way is along Gorky Embankment.

However, it is objectively worth saying that not all parts of Yevpatoria are suitable for cycling. It is worth at least a little distance from the shore and the embankment, as you get into an urban area with narrow sidewalks along the roads and without bike paths. So a bicycle in Yevpatoria, in our opinion, is more entertainment on vacation than a real way of getting around.
