-'''Alexandrovsk-Sakhalinsky''' ([[Russian phrasebook|Russian]]: Алекса́ндровск-Сахали́нский, ''ah-leek-SAHND-ruhf suh-khah-LEEN-skee'') [http://aleksandrovsk.tfd.ru/] is a port town on the northwest coast of [[Sakhalin]], on the shores of the Tatar Strait. It was known as Akō (亜港) during Japanese occupation between 1918-1925. It was the first settlement on the island, and for its first 30 or so years was the administrative center of Russian Sakhalin. But it is most famous for once being the short-term home of Anton Chekhov, where he wrote ''The Sakhalin Island''. The penal colony that so horrified the famous author no longer exists, but it retains its other two roles as a coal mining center and an important port on the island, home to about 12,000.

 There is one daily bus between Tymovsk and Alexandrovsk (leaving 8 o'clock at the time of writing), connecting with the daily overnight train between [[Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk]] and Nogliki which arrives at 7.51; any of the other departures on the railway would require you to overnight in Tymovsk. In the opposite direction there is a daily bus from Alexandrovsk at 17.00, allowing you to return south with the Nogliki – Yuzno-Sakhalinsk train at 21.10. Remember to double check all this before heading out, since schedules change .
 * '''Bus company''' (''Александровско ПАТП'') +7 (42434) 2-1060
 You may officially need a permit to enter the city, but the local government can't really seem to decide one way or the other, so check up on this in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk before heading out.
