| In Crimea - by train! A few tips |
|
The vast majority of tourists traveling on vacation in Crimea, chooses to travel the railway. 90% of the guests of the peninsula are planted at the station in Simferopol - here comes the summer about sixty trains a day. Go to Simferopol in summer you can from all the major cities of Russia and Ukraine, as well as from most of the CIS countries. Simferopol railway station was the real gateway to the Crimea, he renovated and very comfortable for passengers. From the station square, tourists can travel to any corner of the Crimea on the bus or trolley. You can also take a taxi. Some of the trains passing Simferopol, Sevastopol reach. In the summer you can also take the train to Evpatoria, Saks, Feodosia and Kerch - trains go to these cities from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kiev, Donetsk, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk. If you are going to the Crimea by train, then you will certainly be useful for our advice. At 90 km from Simferopol is long enough parking at the station Dzhankoy quiet town. During the parking lot goes through cars local dealers in fruits and vegetables. We recommend that you give in to their entreaties, and buy yourself something from the local fruits. Sorry do not have to - the prices are very low, and often even lower than in the tourist areas of the Crimea, and the fruit quality is usually excellent. Since traders can and bargain, but not for long - or risk being left without buying. Here, in Djankov, the train gets a lot of brokers offering their services for tourist accommodation in hotels of Crimea. Keep in mind - they have their own interest, and often turns out that the shot of their housing advice is not worth the money for it that you give. Therefore, with such dealers should be alert. However, if you are traveling "at random", and do not know where you are going to stop and spend time looking for a hotel you do not want - you can try to use their services. Another category of people scurrying in the Crimean trains - a money-changer, offering currency exchange. As a rule, they produce an exchange of very disadvantageous exchange rate, that they would not have promised it. However, all of this and already know - is as simple as a cardboard box and the pattern. In addition, foreign currency exchange in the hustle and bustle the train could face fraud. Therefore it is better to exchange money in the bank or in special exchange offices. Exchange at the train station in Simferopol clock, but the course is unfavorable. It is best to change money in town. By the way, the exchange rate in resort towns, too, tend to be less favorable than in Simferopol. And do not try to change money with it - it is prohibited by law. In addition, I have a lot of street scams, especially during the summer - they are cleverly "break" bill, instead of palming small large, or deceived by the calculations, giving you a hands on, say, seven identical bills, instead of ten. So better to exchange currency at the bank, and Russian tourists may be advisable to carry in the Crimea Ruble, exchanging them here straight to the hryvnia is not translating into dollars. |
