Instructions
Step 1
For obvious reasons, there are no air flights to Shchelkino, just as there is no airport. But you can cover most of the way by plane "Moscow - Kerch" airline "UTair", and then from Kerch from the bus stop "Airport" take buses No. 4 and No. 9 to the station "Bus station Shelkino". Or take a flight "Moscow - Simferopol" of the airlines "Transaero", "Aeroflot" or "S7", and then by bus # 53 or taxi from the stop "Airport Simferopol" to get to the bus station in Shelkino. In both cases, the journey will take about eight hours in total.
Step 2
As for long-distance trains, the best option is to take either the Moscow - Simferopol train or the Moscow - Sevastopol train. In both cases, the road to Dzhankoy, where you have to get off, will take 22 hours 23 minutes. Then by bus # 41 or minibus # 43 from the stop “Central bus station Dzhankoya” you can get to the stop “Bus station Shelkino”. You can also take a taxi - the travel time in all cases will be at least four hours. That is, in both the first and second options, the road to Shchelkino will take more than 26 hours.
Step 3
Buses from Moscow to Shchelkino do not run. However, there is an option - you can take the Moscow - Kerch bus, which leaves from the Novoyasenevskaya bus station and in 1 day and 3 hours get to the Central Bus Station in Kerch. And then change to a local bus and in four hours get to the bus station Shchelkino. That is, the journey will take approximately 1 day and 7 hours.
Step 4
If we talk about a trip by car, then we need to prepare for the fact that the path is not short - about 1500 kilometers. From Moscow you should taxi onto the M2 "Crimea" highway and go through Shcherbinka, Podolsk, Klimovsk, then go around Serpukhov and head for Tula. After the car has passed through the outskirts of Tula, you need to follow the signs of the same M2 "Crimea" highway in the direction of Orel. The next major city after Orel will be Kursk, from which you have to go to Belgorod.
After passing the Russian-Ukrainian border, the route goes along the E105 highway towards Kharkov, and after it along the E40 highway to Novomoskovsk, and then to Zaporozhye. Then you need to drive along the E105 highway to Melitopol, then to Dzhankoy. And from Dzhankoy to Shelkino along the E50 highway, the distance is no more than 185 kilometers. The whole journey, if you go without long stops and overnight stays, will take a little more than 25 hours.
