With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Gelendzhik, 55 miles away, has to offer. Zolotaya Bukhta, Safari Park and Gelendzhik History Museum alone make the drive out worth it. Located 60 miles away, Maykop is another place to aim for. If you swing by, don’t miss Maykop City Mosque, Lenin Square and Pushkin State Drama Theater.
