Fetch your bags exit the gates of Gelendzhik Airport (GDZ), and collect your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on where you’re venturing. If you’ll be spending a lot of time driving in downtown Novorossijsk, around 16 miles from the terminal, go for something zippy and small. A compact car that’s easy to maneuver will be ideal for navigating those winding city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the stunning cliffs of the region, you’ll probably be clocking up a few miles. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips a joy.
