As for the air flight to Sochi, today it is the fastest and least labor-intensive way to get to the place of rest, so I advise you to consider other options only for information on travel methods.

The price will also be very cheap, the ticket price is 200 rubles per person, the business class carriage will cost 350 rubles per person.

How to get to Sochi by bus?
Let's move on to buses. I recommend buses in the last place, especially to tourists with children and pensioners, on the highway to Sochi, especially on the serpentine road, there are constant traffic jams and in the heat it is simply unbearable to ride the bus. But these situations are very rare, recently the buses are very good and comfortable.
If you suddenly have questions, here is the bus station phone number +7 8622 62 03 30. As for the bus station, it is located next to the railway station at the intersection of Gorky 56A and Roz streets. The bus numbers that you need are 124, 130 and 131. Of all the minuses, only the travel time can be distinguished, about 2-3 hours. And on the plus side, this is a cheap trip and you will see beautiful views, have time to photograph them while standing in a traffic jam on a serpentine road.

How to get to Sochi by car from Moscow?
How to get to Sochi by car? First of all, I want to warn you, you should not go by car in the high season, the approximate time is the end of July - until mid-August, you will get one big traffic jam.
But any minus can be turned into a plus, for example, I advise you to go around the traffic jam on the section from Krasnodar to Sochi at night. At night on the road it becomes much easier both in terms of the weather (heat, humidity) and the number of cars, and the number of traffic police posts is significantly reduced.
Do not forget about the mountainous sections of the roads, they are very dangerous, so we look two steps ahead!
To get to Sochi by car, we need a navigator that shows the way, I advise you to choose and go along the M27 highway to the M4 'Don' highway. If you are driving on other roads, it's okay, but be guided by the M4 highway, this highway is a high-speed highway along which you can get to Sochi very quickly.
I will also add about traffic jams, Friday and Saturday will turn out to be a guaranteed jam for you, we go on weekdays! We also go back on weekdays, forget about Sunday!
Directions and the way to Sochi, which routes should you take by car?
- If you are coming from most European cities, such as: Moscow, St. Petersburg, and others, then we leave on the M4 highway and go in the direction of Rostov-on-Don and to the very village of Dzhubga, there we leave on the M27 highway and do not turn anywhere until Sochi ...
- If we are going from the direction of Saratov, Volgograd and the Volga region, then we take a course to Salsk - Tikhoretsk - Krasnodar and then to the already known M27 highway. Alternatively, you can go through Kalach-Boguchar with an exit to the M4 highway or another route, we leave on the M21 through Volgograd, then we pass Rostov and onto the M4 highway.
- For those who travel from Siberian cities, we go out onto the M5 highway, then turn off through Volsk or Pugachev to Saratov and then onto the M4-M27.
I want to say about the trip by car to Sochi, it will be an exciting journey that is guaranteed to remain in your memory for a lifetime. You will see the entire Caucasus with your own eyes and can stop anywhere, take an excellent photo and spend your vacation differently from the majority of the population of Russia.
