Cycling day trip from Simferopol to Bakhchisaray

Ready for a peaceful ride through the beautiful Crimean countryside? Start your journey in Simferopol, often considered the heart of Crimea. Known for its vibrant culture and picturesque landscapes, Simferopol is the perfect kickoff point for this adventure.

You'll be covering about 39 kilometers on mostly quiet roads and tracks, which means you can enjoy the tranquility and the occasional chirping of birds, rather than the buzz of city traffic. With less than 20% of the route on asphalt, get ready for a bit of an unpaved adventure—it just adds to the charm of this ride!

Don't forget, this route comes with a little bit of a workout: there's a fair ascent of over 550 meters. But don't worry, what goes up must come down, and the descent is even more impressive at nearly 640 meters. Just think of those downhill moments as your reward!

Your journey ends in the historic town of Bakhchisaray, famous for its rich Tatar heritage and the stunning Bakhchisaray Palace. Make sure to give yourself time to explore its intricate architecture and maybe indulge in some delicious local cuisine. Enjoy the ride and the history!
