Since time immemorial, Abkhazia has been steadfastly associated with the domestic tourist with the place of the holiday. Of course, since the iron curtain collapsed, a part of the Soviet country, which used to have a resort here, has sunk into oblivion. In this regard, Abkhazia suddenly became a foreign state. Although, Russian citizens still can freely enter the territory of this country, having in their pocket only their passport.

Abkhazia will certainly be interesting to those tourists who are familiar with the joy of touching the numerous antiquities .Eloquent testimony to this is at least Abkhaz Sukhum, the history of which already counts two and a half millennia .Today in this city you can see the medieval castle Bagrat and Besleti Bridge, built, according to legend, even during the reign of Queen Tamara, with which many residents of Abkhazia still connect the best times of the history of their country..In addition, among the ancient monumental buildings in Sukhumi there is the beginning of the Kelasur Wall, which stretched for a hundred and fifty kilometers along the mountain gorges of the country and was designed to protect the local people from the aggressive invasion of the enemy..

The main natural attraction, of course, is Lake Ritsa - the only reservoir in the world that changes its "color" depending on the season. So, in the cold months the water here becomes sky-blue, and in summer it is yellow-green. Since this has nothing to do with the activities of industrial enterprises, a natural object is rightfully used by tourists to pay special attention.

Fans of Orthodoxy will be happy to visit the New Athos Monastery, which has enjoyed steady popularity among believers for many centuries. The local Church of the Intercession, the grottoes of the apostles and numerous churches - all this is a living confirmation of the fact that Abkhazia was one of the few countries that stood practically on the threshold of the mass spread of world religion. Naturally, this is far from all places worth seeing in Abkhazia. Tourist destinations in this country are no less than in Turkey or at European resorts.
