|
|
Hello Everybody,
Next May I intend to travel by car to Russia. I want to enter in go to St Petersburg and then all the way to Murmansk.
I have some doubts especially concerning the weather that normally is in those regions and also concerning the hotels.
I will stay overnight in Petrozavodsk but then I want to make more 500 or 600km and stay overnight, but I can't find any hotel at for exemple Segheza.
Anybody can help on those subjects! |

yandex for 'гостиница сегежа' displays e.g. hotel <dot> segezha <dot> biz. Not the cheapest one, but it may be at least halfway decent then.
Or more - www<dot>all-karelia<dot>ru/hotels/settlement_3543.html |

| I have also gone through but with another itinerary that is quite better than this one you are planning. That itinerary was suggested to me on a blog of Bangalore and you should also check it out. |

Thanks a lot for the information. I tried several times to get this type of info but got nothing . Writting it in cyrilic makes the difference.
One more question if you know the road: is it in good condition.
How many Km can you do per day |

Hi,
The condition of roads are quite good as they are newly made and you can easily drive more than 300 KM per day with breaks as well.
Thanks, |

Thanks.
Looking to the map and the information received here, I will stay first in Petrozavodsk where it seems to be easy to find a good hotel and then in Kem or near by.
Do you have any recommendation for hotel in that area.
To make a booking on those hotels, is it needed to be very much in advance or can I do it one week in advance.
What is the recomendable way of making the bookings on those hotels? through a travel agency, directly with the hotel by email or other way.
Best regards |
