Under-developed area that typifies Russian countryside. Easy access to Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the Baltic states, which makes it ideal for rural tourism. Good environmental situation, no major industry. The City of Staritsa managed to preserve its historic character.
Car ride from Moscow to Staritsa can be arranged. Car upkeep contribution for the 250 km ride from Moscow to Staritsa: $70-100. Staritsa is accessible by bus from Moscow and almost direct train from St. Petersburg.
Please don't expect 5-star conditions and treatment from an operation that wants $25 for shelter, access to food, and nearly unlimited riding. Please understand that I have no liability insurance and that you are using my facilities privately, unofficially, at your own risk.
