With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Maykop, 20 miles away, has to offer. Maykop City Mosque, Lenin Square and Pushkin State Drama Theater alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t miss Krasnaya Polyana either! Just 50 miles away, Rosa Khutor Ski Resort, Mountain Carousel and Rosa Khutor Extreme Park are must-sees here.
