Abkhazia since Soviet times was a favorite tourist destination. She attracted them to their hospitality, the abundance of vegetables and fruits, natural landscapes of incredible beauty. And of course, endless beaches and Clean sea water .

Gag
From the border of Russia with Abkhazia to the resort Gag Total half an hour drive by car. You can get on routes or by private traders who offer their services. Like an option - an electrician Adler - Gagra. Not quickly, but without transfers.
Gag - Beautiful and green resort. It's just enough to walk along the embankment to make sure that. Throughout the embankment there is a cafe where you can have lunch or dinner.
Gagra beaches at a greater account of small. Or sandy, but at the entrance to the sea will still be pebbles. Water in the sea is clean, in sunny weather, bright turquoise color acquires. It is always surprised by tourists: it seems, drove away from the Sochi Imeretician only 20 km, and the color of water in the sea is fundamentally different!
But S. locker rooms, souls, sun beds and umbrellas It is much worse here. Basically, tourists bring mats and umbrellas with them. But if you are looking for, you can find sun beds with umbrellas for from 100-150 rubles., Which is an order of magnitude cheaper than in Sochi. Near the colonnade, the tent-suite will cost 100 rubles per hour.
A small minus can be the fact that the beach will not name perfectly clean (although for Abkhazia is a problem not only by the beaches). But in general, if there is no desire to spend time on further movement, then in Gagra, you can count on a quite acceptable beach vacation .
In Gagra, there are several very worthy hotels that are located right on the seashore: it hotel Abaiata, AMRA PARK-HOTEL & SPA 5 *, Midel Leisure House.
Pitsunda
If you go on the road from Gagra towards the new Athon for another 30-40 minutes, then you can get to Pitsundu .
Main ways to get to Pitsundu:
- By bus (minibus) from the border of Russia.
- At the train to Gagra, and from there on a taxi or bus / bus to Pitsunda.
- By taxi from PPP PSOU. Before the border will also have to get a bus + walk around 2 km away, or by taxi.
- On personal transport
- With individual excursion
Pitsunda has always been an attached resort. It is believed that water in Pitsunda Bay - the cleanest On all the coast of Abkhazia. A plus pine grovewhich begins right at the beach, brings beauty and pleasant fragrance to the landscapes of Pitsunda.
To get to the central beach of Pitsunda, have to pay 50 rubles for passage to the territory - because it is territory associations "Resort Pitsunda". For this money, you will rest at a comfortable beach, where there are umbrellas with sun beds, and locker rooms, and a shower, and a cafe.
Or you can do it easier - buy tour to the pension "Resort Pitsunda" , seven high-rise buildings of which are located along the embankment. True, this pension is so popular among tourists, what to do it is very in advance. And do not look for it on Bucking - it is not there. Pension only works with large russian tour operatorsAnd look for prices for it here is online-tours. In detail, the situation with hotels in Pitsunda I described in the article:
Most best Hotel In Pitsunde, in my opinion, it is built by Turks Sanatorium Sugite Grove. From inexpensive - Hotel Pitsunda and Kiaraz Start Otel.
There is I. free beach in Pitsunde. More precisely, without reaching it. Near pension "Pitius" that translated from Abkhaz means "pine".
Beach and coastline of Pitsunda Let it be very conscientious, but still cleaned. And water in the sea is really clean.
Ledzaa (Lidzava)
Resort village Lzaaa (Also called Fish) - one of the most popular for rest on the sea. Located only 4 km from the center of Pitsunda. Developed infrastructure, shops and cafes in large quantities. The same beautiful pine grove as in Pitsunde.
It is here in last years began to appear new cozy hotels , in which no longer ashamed (and not scary) spend a few days. For example: Villa Valentina., Hotel Pine Beach Hotel. , Guest House Black House..
The beaches here are predominantly small, which are gradually turning into the sand as they approach the rocks. And at the very end of the Lidzava, you will see such cozy canopies:
Everyone who saw me in the phone photo of this beaches did not believe that it was done in Abkhazia.
You can get to Lidzava in the same ways as in Pitsundu (see above)
Mussera
This is one of my favorite places in Abkhazia.
The resort is even further along the coast (from Pitsunda about 35 km), and you can only drive it from the main route. Rolling from the Sukhumskaya highway for 46 km, where there is a sign "Torah / Mussers", you will drive 10 km along the Pitsundsko-Musser Reserve before you find yourself on the seashore.
The road will lead to a gate, for which the territory is protected. It is here that are state owages Stalin and Gorbachev , as well as Lacob's boarding house. Fee for passage to the territory - 250 rubles. But get at your disposal the most chic beach In Abkhazia overlooking the State Council Gorbachev:
At the same time, look at the cottages (their visit enters the above value). By the way, In the Gorbachev dacha can even book a room - Multiple rooms in it are survived. So, if you want to feel yourself with the president (or wife of the President), go through this link and book numbers: State Department Mussera
Get to Musser place on public transport will not work. The main methods are as follows:
- on a personal car
- on a walking boat from Pitsunda
- with individual excursion
The beach at the Gorbachev State District is limited to a picturesque rock on the right and a small lagoon at the Musser River on the left.
The beach itself is alight, in the top ten meters from the sea begins small golden sand. They say, at the time, by the decree of Raisa Maximovna, several barges of sand from Bulgaria brought to the beach Mussers.
From amenities on the beach there are toilets, dressing cabins, canopies and sun beds. There is also a decent cafe-bar (though, it does not always work)
Pension named after N. Lacob, more often called "Musser", also has its own beach. Check Prices for accommodation in Nima here: rest in the boarding house Musser. It will definitely enjoy all the tourists and other introverts tired of the bustle and other introverts that do not admire crowded resorts - to get out of the boarding house, except for the territory of the aforementioned cottages and on the beach, especially nowhere.
But sam beach You will surely please: clean and well-groomed, alight. Sun loungers and umbrellas are free, however, the latter is often lacking on all visitors. There is a shower and toilet.
About this and next on the beach list I have this video:
Gudautsky district
Beach Golden Beach
The Golden Beach is located in the Gudautsky district of Abkhazia. If you go through the Sukhum highway, then the guidelines will be locality Apsdnes. From him to the village on the seashore, which is called the Golden Beach - about 4 km. The beach is sand and pebble, very wide. The sand has a pleasant golden shade.
Its only minus - sun beds, umbrellas, shower cabins and locker rooms it is almost not equipped. But here there is a warm, transparent sea, and before the neighbor will not thorough - the beaches in Gudauta are spacious and so far.
On the Golden Beach there are some good cafes. Here, calm, quiet rest for tourists, tired of the bustle of large resorts. And by the way, here is one of the most inexpensive prices for accommodation in the private sector. There is a recreation center - "Golden Beach".
You can get here by taxi, or with an individual excursion. Theoretically can be reached by bus to P.Appsdna, but to turn 4 km to the beach on foot, in the heat - not the best holiday.
Bambra
About place Bambra (Something consonant with boron-boron, right?) Previously, it was possible to read mostly what is located here military airfield . Its runway with a length of 3000 meters can take all types of combat and military transport aircraft. In Soviet times, fighter, assault and transport aviation of the USSR Air Force was stationed at the airport. AT this time At the airfield there is an aviation grouping of the Russian Air Force.
Ironically, here are one of best beaches In the Gudautsky district of Abkhazia. And many tourists chose these places for their recreation (maybe, just because the proximity of the Russian military guarantees certain security). So, if you feel about rest in Abkhazia with neatra, you choose hotels in this place.
Cottage village "Bambore ยป Located on the very seashore. Despite the external simplicity, all the bungalows of the complex have air conditioning, a private bathroom, a TV, a fridge and a terrace with garden furniture.
More from good options - hotel Silver Beach. If the sea is cool, hotel guests can swim in the heated pool.
