Cycling day trip from Simferopol to Sevastopol

Ready for an epic ride through Crimea? This route takes you from Simferopol, the bustling heart of the peninsula, all the way down to the historic port city of Sevastopol. Expect about 89 km in the saddle, with a hefty dose of hills—over 1100 meters of ascent—so get those climbing legs ready!

You'll roll mostly on quiet roads and tracks, weaving through the scenic Crimean foothills. The surface is a bit of a grab bag: mostly unmarked, though there’s a good chunk of pavement and some asphalt stretches to pick up speed. The landscape shifts from open fields and gentle valleys to pockets of wooded hills, giving you plenty to look at (and sweat over).

In Simferopol, you’ll start amid university vibes and leafy boulevards. Once you reach Sevastopol, the vibe shifts to glorious naval history, seaside promenades, and plenty of places to celebrate your ride. Just bring enough snacks and water—this is a country ride at heart, with long stretches between towns. Happy cycling!
