Aksaysky District

Aksaysky District is a municipal district in the western central part of Rostov Oblast that stretches along the Don River. The area comprises one urban settlement and numerous rural communities, forming a mixed landscape of town and country living.

The district was established in 1936 as an administrative region emerging from pre-existing rural settlements. Aksay, its central town, became the governance hub and continues to shape the region today.

The district includes one urban settlement and fifty-one rural localities, reflecting the traditional mix of town and countryside communities in southern Russia.

The district is well connected to the nearby Platov International Airport, making arrival straightforward. Keep in mind that infrastructure varies between the urban center and rural communities.

The area houses the Customs Outpost Museum Complex, displaying objects from 18th-century customs history. Another highlight is the Military History Complex, which showcases Soviet-era equipment and vehicles.
