The city does not have its own station - there is simply no railway there yet, it is hindered by the mountains located around it. So while the train trip there remains at the level of distant plans. It is quite possible to get on the car and get to Anapa or Novorossiysk, and the last section has already been covered by a regular bus.
The second city is better in this regard, since it is closer, and the fare will be less. In addition, from the Anapa station, you will first have to get out into the city (the station is moved beyond its borders). Although, this is unlikely to stop those for whom the prices of air tickets to Gelendzhik are too high.
On an odd day, two trains run from Moscow to Novorossiysk.
