The southern travel destination is especially popular in May-September, during a vacation company. At this time, people go to relax on the sea and see the nature of the south of Russia. One of the most popular destinations during this period is St. Petersburg-Anapa.
Distance between cities
These two Russian cities are located quite far from each other, even by Russian standards. 1736 kilometers - the distance in a straight line (with a possible flight) on the route St. Petersburg-Anapa. The distance by car when traveling on the closest path will be 2186 kilometers. You can overcome this distance by car in about 32 hours (excluding parking).
It is worth calculating how much fuel you have to spend for a one-way trip. Suppose passengers are going to drive a car. We assume that the average fuel consumption per 100 kilometers will be 8 liters. We multiply 8 by 21.86 and we get that for one trip along the route St. Petersburg-Anapa, 175 liters of gasoline will have to be consumed.
An average truck spends 30 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Multiplying 30 by 21.86, we will know that 656 liters of fuel will be needed to drive a truck from St. Petersburg to Anapa.
Anapa-Saint-Petersburg: distance by car
We will analyze how you can get from St. Petersburg to Anapa by car. Accordingly, the return trip can be overcome along the same route. We need to go on the road towards the village of Ulyanovka, which is 27 kilometers from the Northern capital. In general, 112 kilometers will have to be traveled across the territory of the Leningrad Region. The following villages are located along the highway: Ushaki, Ryabovo, Lyuban, Trubnikov Bor, Babino. Next begins the stretch of highway located in the Novgorod region. The first settlement to be driven in this area is Chudovo. In the Novgorod region, a motorist will have to drive 218 kilometers to the village of Dobyvalovo. Russia is a big and wide country! The Tver region has always been famous for its hospitality, so any driver, having stopped in the village of Ozerny, will be able to eat and relax. In the Tver region, at the 273rd kilometer of the highway towards Anapa, the last settlement in this direction is located - Zavidovo. The route goes further to the Moscow (244 km), Tula (197 km), Lipetsk (114 km), Voronezh (396 km), Rostov (363 km) regions and the Krasnodar Territory (360 km).
