With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Taganrog, 20 miles away, has to offer. Chekhov House Museum, Taganrog Museum of Local Lore and Chekhov Literature Museum alone make the drive out worth it. Situated 50 miles away, Rostov-on-Don is another popular option. If you swing by, don’t miss Olimp - 2, Gorky Park and Don State Technical University.
