With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Taganrog, 30 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Chekhov House Museum, Taganrog Museum of Local Lore and Chekhov Literature Museum. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Novocherkassk, 35 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, make sure it’s Don Theatre of Drama and Comedy V.F. Komissarzhevskaya. (But we’re also huge fans of Novocherkassk Museum of the History of Don Cossacks and Ascension Cathedral.)
