If you’re after a day-trip destination, we’ve got some ideas. Located 16 miles away, Taganrog is worth hopping in the car for. Chekhov House Museum, Taganrog Museum of Local Lore and Chekhov Literature Museum alone make the drive out worth it. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Rostov-on-Don, 45 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Olimp - 2. (But we’d also highly recommend Gorky Park and Don State Technical University.)
