Izhevsk is located far from the sea, therefore, if there is no time or desire to go or fly somewhere far away, for example, to the Sea of Azov, then it is worth taking a closer look at the resorts of the South Urals, where there are many interesting places. One of these is the city of Sol-Iletsk. The route Izhevsk - Sol-Iletsk can be reached in several ways.
Option with a change in Orenburg
At 17:30 from the central bus station of Izhevsk, a bus leaves for Orenburg. A ticket for it costs from 2000 rubles. Flights are not daily. To the destination go 17 hours. The bus itself is 44-seater, Volvo brand. In Orenburg, he drops off passengers near the Armada bus station on the Sharlykskoye highway (this is the northern part of the city) near a large shopping center. Far enough from the center of Orenburg.
From Orenburg to Sol-Iletsk can be reached in three ways: by bus, train and long-distance train.

Flights depart from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. from the intercity bus station (Elevatornaya St., near the railway station), and also at 2 a.m. from the suburban bus station, which is located near the Cathedral Mosque on Tereshkova Street. GAZel buses depart from the intercity bus station, and passing flights from Samara depart from the suburban bus. For them, the final destination is the city of Aktobe.
