As for the road, it will most likely follow the M4 Don toll motorway. Although many motorists-vacationers are inevitably tempted to save money and drive south on free regional highways. In our case, we do not recommend using this route option. Savings on tariffs will likely be negated by additional gas bills and the loss of precious vacation time. First of all, due to the fact that sometimes you have to drive on a roundabout, through settlements, where the speed is sometimes limited to 40 km / h, and also because of traffic police cameras that “graze” the impatient.
In addition, in the Krasnodar Territory, during the grain harvest season and later, that is, from July to September, you will inevitably be in the company of hundreds of grain carriers fully loaded and weaving to the ports. This means a two-lane road, a solid axial, half-dead of old age Kamaz with a trailer, creeping in front of you at a speed of 50 km/h. And there is little point in overtaking him, because 200 meters in front of him another of the same fabrics, and then another and another … In general, it is better to pay for the M4. We want to warn you: if you do not regularly, at least a few times a year, go along the Don to the south of Russia, do not participate in the purchase of a transponder. On a one-way trip there and back, it won’t help you save money.
Along the way, even along the M4 Don, even along ring roads, the demand for food inevitably arises. Tip: if you are not ready to risk the peace, it is better not to use roadside restaurants. Grab food for the road from home, or snack on something like chocolates, chips, store-bought cookies and drinks. You should not pay attention to positive reviews in Yandex about cafes and canteens along the road: the owners of such establishments en masse practice the method of good recommendations left by Internet bots for a certain bribe.
When planning an overnight stay somewhere in the middle of the road, the easiest way is to call a few hotels and hostels that you like in the area you need, but not near the highway, but at the very least a few miles from it. This must be done before departure to pre-arrange an overnight stay. In addition, if you are already on the road, a few hours before the expected arrival for the night, you should contact the hotel and clarify whether all agreements are in force. It may happen that someone has already taken your place. If this happens, it doesn’t matter: call other establishments from the list that you initially have, and in some of them you will certainly be happy to be accepted.
As for the timing of traffic on the M4, you need to calculate it so that you slide through transit towns from one in the morning until five in the morning – when there are no traffic jams and the traffic lights are in “flashing yellow” mode In addition, the stretch between Krasnodar and actually a holiday spot on the coast is highly recommended not to bridge Friday afternoon. During this period, local residents flock to the sea. resting in Abkhazia, you can save time passing the border control by arriving at the border crossing at night, after midnight.
At the height of the summer season, there are problems with housing for vacationers in seaside settlements. Searching the internet often yields no results. But there is a way out. Find the village you like on the internet map and take a virtual walk through the streets using “panoramic views”. On the gates of almost all houses intended for rental to holidaymakers, you will see the telephone numbers of the owners. A series of direct calls to homeowners in the shortest possible time solves the problem of finding housing by the sea.
