Excursión ciclista de un día de Simferópol a Bajchysarái

This ride takes you from Simferopol, the bustling capital of Crimea, to the historic town of Bakhchysarai. Simferopol is known for its vibrant markets and as the region’s main transport hub, while Bakhchysarai is famous for its stunning Khan’s Palace and cliffside cave monasteries.

Your route covers about 39 km, winding mostly along quiet roads and scenic tracks—perfect for those who prefer less traffic and more nature. Expect some rolling hills; there’s a solid amount of ascent (around 558 meters), but you’ll also get to enjoy some rewarding descents with great valley views.

The route is mostly on an unclassified or missing surface, with some stretches on asphalt and paved roads. You’ll pass rural landscapes and, as you approach Bakhchysarai, you might catch glimpses of the dramatic limestone cliffs that make this area so unique.

Pack snacks and water—services along the way are limited. Once you arrive, the old town and the palace courtyards are just waiting to be explored. Enjoy the ride!
