With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Taganrog, 20 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Chekhov House Museum, Taganrog Museum of Local Lore and Chekhov Literature Museum. Don’t forget about Rostov-on-Don either! Just 30 miles away, Olimp - 2, Gorky Park and Don State Technical University are non-negotiable stops here.
