Sights of Abkhazia

Abkhazia surprises with an abundance of interesting and beautiful places on a relatively small territory. There are a lot of natural attractions, temples and other beauties. The tourist route offered to you can be completely different, it all depends on your preferences and the time that you plan to spend.

Sights of Abkhazia and Sukhumi

Only in one Sukhumi you will be offered to visit several unique places. First of all, it concerns the Botanical Garden. Do not deny yourself the pleasure of seeing the famous Caucasian lime tree, which is considered the pearl of the garden. Citrus, tea bushes, amazing green groves and magic gardening are waiting for you there.

One of the main religious attractions of Sukhum and Abkhazia as a whole is the Annunciation Cathedral. Now there is a parish school there. Once the cathedral was called the Greek Church of St. Nicholas, its real title was the cathedral after the Great Patriotic War. Surprisingly, the services there are conducted at once in four national languages, which once again proves the possibility of peaceful coexistence of several beliefs.

Also, among the sights of Abkhazia you should visit the ruins of the fortress of Dioscuria, an exciting place - the ruins of the Bagrat castle. Fans of historical attractions there will be interesting.

Attractions and entertainment in Abkhazia

The whole family trip will be remembered by you, if you spend it fun and in interesting places. For impressions we go to the artificial waterfall Psyrtskh in New Afon. He is loved by the residents themselves, and visitors are not the first time tourists. This is an excellent result of the joint work of man and nature. Walk and relax, buy your friends and acquaintances souvenirs and a snack - all this you can do there.

Combine the sightseeing of Abkhazia and entertainment, and even with the benefit, you can by visiting the Hesuriani House Museum. No, this is not a famous artist or writer. In this house, the collector and collector of historical artifacts from the history of the inhabitants of Abkhazia Georgy Hecuriani simply placed everything that he managed to collect. Now it is there where you can first see objects of everyday life and typical things for the inhabitants of that time, a little more imbued with the spirit of these places.

The already familiar Botanical Garden adjoins one of the most favorite sights for rest in Abkhazia - a monkey nursery. In fact, these are sites for investigating problems in the field of oncological diseases. But for young visitors this is a real event, since the primates there just wait for you with the purchased treats. They easily communicate with people and can even play a little prank, snatching a phone or purse.

The main natural attractions of Abkhazia

Nature there is beautiful at any time of the year, so that some of the sights of Abkhazia are especially beautiful in winter. If you are lucky enough to visit Gagra, almost certainly the trip to Mount Mamzishkh will be on your tourist itinerary. Approximately eight months a year there is snow, which attracts fans of mountain skiing. But in the whole period from autumn until the end of winter the weather is simply amazingly supportive and there are almost no cloudy days.

Some amazing sights of Abkhazia are underground. The New Athos cave does not have the status of the largest in Abkhazia, but its beauty and enchanting views beckon tourists every year. Of the eleven rooms, only six receive their guests every day, and in one they carry out various kinds of research. So Abkhazia still pleases with its beauties, amazing natural sights and unknown secrets of nature.
