Simferopol

[pn1]

It's a long time since I've posted here so I hope I'm in the appropriate section! (Please advise a more appropriate section if I'm not; thanks).

I'm wanting to go to Simferopol to ride the world's longest trolleybus route (to Yalta). I would also like to go to Sevastopol.

No firm plans but something on my bucket list. I did a quick search and a suggestion was Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong thence Aeroflot to Simferopol via Moscow.

Part of the world I've never been to and I do appreciate the recent political changes. Trust it's still feasible for a mature age (60s Australian couple) to visit.

So I'd appreciate some thoughts on my plans. My general style is to use local public transport for sightseeing and getting around.

Perhaps my "objective" should drop a few spots on my bucket list?

I wonder if anyone from the AFF community has visited the area in recent times.
