Simferopol is a city in Ukraine. It is the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.
Hitchhiking out
North-West towards Dzhankoy
Take marszrutka #26, #95, #99 or any other going to МОЛОДЕЖНОЕ from the central train station. Get off shortly after you see a huge bridge crossing the street (it is the intersection with the bypass around the city) and hitchhike straight on.
North towards Cherson, Odessa
You can take the same marszrutkas as above, but you have to follow the bridge to the west for a few hundred meters. After turn right and find a nice spot for cars to stop.
=== East towards Sudak, Koktebel, Feodosiya, Kerch Marshrutka 48 Gorbolnitsa - Khoshkeldy (Хошкельды (мнемоника: кошки+льды)), get off at the final stop Khoshkeldy, walk 200 m further to find a crossed Simferopol city sign. You can either hitch from here or go 1 km further up the hill past the gas station to a bus stop on a turn.
South-East towards Alushta, Yalta
From the train station, take the trolley-bus Simferopol - Yalta. As of Nov. 2011, it costs about 13 UAH (1.6 USD), but provides an amazing experience and in 2.5 hours will get you to Yalta, Nikita Botanical Gardens being a few stops before the resort.
