Svetlana, our son and I would like to take a vacation from Vitebsk, Belarus to Sochi. No flights are listed on Expedia.com; anyone have any experience traveling across country borders, is the train, car or what is best.
BTW, Sochi is south east of the lower part of Ukraine.
To fly the only option I am aware of would be to go to Moscow and then to Sochi. Aeroflot and Sibir air both have flights from Minsk to Moscow and from Moscow to Sochi. Both of these airlines have web sites. I flew from Moscow to Anapa (North of Sochi a little ways) in 2001. I don't remember the exact cost but it was under $200.00 for a round trip.
There are trains from Minsk to Sochi the time tables say this trip takes about 48 hours.
Border crossings can be very time consuming. I have sat for several hours at the Ukrainian Polish border. You would have 2 border crossing each way. Driving would be an adventure. I will be traveling by car from Kiev to Germany this November. I am curious to see how this goes.
