Simeiz is located on the southern coast of Crimea, 100 kilometers from Simferopol and 20 kilometers from Yalta (Simeiz on the map). You can get here by commuter buses from Yalta, intercity buses from Simferopol and Simferopol airport. there is no bus service to other cities. All buses arrive at the bus station in the very center of the village (bus station on the map).

The most convenient way to get to Simeiz is to order a tourist transfer. This is almost the same as a taxi, but the driver will meet you at the airport after the plane lands with a sign, and you will not have to look for a taxi driver and bargain. The cost of the transfer is fixed at the time of booking, paid for the entire car, so when traveling with a large company, you can save money. You can choose a car for a family trip with children, a luxury car, minibuses with a capacity of up to 19 people.

  In our opinion, this is the best option, since buses on this route run most often. You will need to transfer at the bus station Yalta from intercity bus to suburban.

  From the airport to Yalta you can get a direct flight of intercity buses from 240 rubles and in 2 and a half hours. Also from the airport to Yalta you can get on the trolleybus number 55, but in time it will take 3 hours, the cost is 138 rubles. For more information, see how to get to Yalta.

To Simeiz by car

If you go on vacation in Simeiz in your car, then after entering the Crimea from the bridge you can reach it by two routes: through Simferopol, or along the coast through Feodosia, Sudak, Alushta, Yalta, etc.

• If you need to get to Simeiz as quickly and economically as possible, it is better to go along the route through the old Crimea-Simferopol-Bakhchisarai (340 kilometers), or the old Crimea-Simferopol-Alushta-Yalta (320 kilometers). The trip will take 6-7 hours if you do not get to the repair site on the road.
• If you choose the route along the coast, then you will need to drive only 290 kilometers. But since the road along the coast is very difficult to Alushta, sometimes serpentines and ascents/descents, you will spend at least 8 hours in time, and you will spend more fuel. But the plus of this route is that it is much more picturesque, the views of the sea along the road are simply fascinating.

If you prefer complete freedom of movement, but do not want to use a personal car, you can rent a car at Simferopol airport, and use it to get to the resort or continue traveling around the peninsula. Also available for rent with car delivery to the village. Cost from 1800 rubles per day. In high season, it is recommended to book a car in advance, which can be done through the search form and compare the cost of rental of different companies:
