When planning a vacation, residents of the Russian Federation often suggest booking hotels in the south of the country, in Turkey, Egypt and other common and advertised places. At the same time, vacation in Abkhazia in the summer of 2018 is rarely considered, where you can also enjoy the beautiful nature and visit interesting sights by taking an all-inclusive voucher.

Such a trip will be much cheaper and more interesting than visiting the usual places where Russian tourists go every year. And to cross the border, it is enough only to have a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.

Turkey or Abkhazia

The sea and mountains turned the small republic into a famous health resort even during the Soviet era. In the summer of 2018, an all-inclusive vacation in Abkhazia will help to improve the body's health. Unique nature, healing mountain and sea air, many attractions will allow you to recuperate and prepare for the new working season after your vacation. If you can't come to the republic during a hot period, this is even an advantage. Instead of the scorching sun in winter, tourists are greeted with freshness and coolness.

The temperature in Abkhazia rarely drops below 10 degrees Celsius. So from a climatic point of view, there are few differences from Turkey.

As for the infrastructure, things are not so smooth here. After the collapse of the USSR and the conflict with Georgia, the country never fully recovered. Therefore, it is better in the summer of 2018 to choose all-inclusive hotels and boarding houses for holidays in Abkhazia. Outside their walls, visitors will find the infrastructure that remains at the level of the late 20th century. The situation is brightened up only by the efforts of private entrepreneurs trying to organize high-level tourist services. But such establishments in Abkhazia are still an order of magnitude less than in Turkey.

Where to go

When choosing a vacation spot in the summer of 2018, the attention of visitors to Abkhazia is traditionally focused on resort establishments with all-inclusive service in the 5 main tourist centers of the republic:

1. Pitsunda. An ideal place for those who want to improve their health in peace and quiet. Instead of parties and numerous entertainment venues, the village offers a crystal clear sea, where there are no storms, and the largest pine grove in the world. This is the most ecologically clean region of the republic.
2. Gagra. The Prince of Oldenburg in 1903 decided to turn a small settlement on the Black Sea coast into a “second Nice”. A relative of Nicholas II almost succeeded. The seaside park, which he founded, still delights tourists with exotic flora and is considered the most beautiful on the coast. Gagra is also great for outdoor enthusiasts: tennis, water sports, and a water park.
3. New Athos. The city is famous primarily not for nature or beaches. People come here for spiritual values. Many attractions and the famous New Athos Monastery of St. Panteleimon is a visiting card of the whole Abkhazia.
4. Sukhum. “City of Eternal Spring” is protected by mountains from cold winds. The healing air and healing springs attract everyone who wants to improve the health of the body. Also, young people from all over Abkhazia flock to the capital of the republic for the sake of an abundance of discos, clubs and other entertainments. by the way, the swimming season in the city lasts 8 months.
5. Gudauta. The place is not so popular with tourists, but worth a visit. The unique landscape can easily be confused with the Alpine slopes. This is a corner of wild nature, where it is easy to meet wild boars, peacocks and roe deer in local reserves, which are not at all afraid of people. And also not far from Gudauta is the famous mountain lake Ritsa, whose crystal clear waters are rich in trout and whitefish.

These are the most famous, but not the only places in Abkhazia where you can go in the summer of 2018 for an all-inclusive vacation. And given that the republic is very small (about 150 km wide), after spending a couple of hours on the road, you can visit all the tourist centers, choosing the one you like best for your next vacation.
