What city is best to choose to stay in Abkhazia?
A significant part of the Russians visiting Abkhazia with or without children, do not want to make long journeys and stop at two cities close to the border with Russia – Pitsunda and Gagra. Besides, there is a very strange opinion about that in the summer the sea is clean only on their beaches that is completely untrue.
A large crowd of tourists in recent years have transformed these two cities are in fact copies of Adler, Sochi and other tourist sites on the territory of Russia, where the beach is literally no room to swing fall. In Pitsunda and Gagra is almost impossible to feel the flavor of this country with its semi-wild landscapes, unique architecture and many others.
If you want to really relax from the noise and DIN, go at least to New Athos or to the capital of Abkhazia Sukhum. First, a relatively small city, perfect for the older generation with its ancient monastery and numerous churches, and one for families with children, couples and companies.

Also great to eat in the restaurant "Amra", a comfortable cafe in the hotel "Aytar" in a "Pacha Gum", located in the Abkhaz capital.
On the seafront next to the resort. there are numerous travel companies. Here it is possible to buy guided tours to the Blue lake, lake Ritsa, to the Holy sites of New Athos Pitsunda in reserve, to Excommu waterfall and many other attractions. Individual agencies also organize visits to more remote places – dead city Tkuarchal, lake Amtkel, Bedia temple, and gather a group for rafting on the river Kodor.
