Even in the times of the Russian Empire, the healing power of the Black Sea coast resorts was known, the inhabitants of the most remote Russian provinces came to the waters, they were replaced by holidaymakers with trade union permits, then the rest on the Black Sea became truly massive. Every year, the buds do not have time to swell on the trees, the holiday-makers fill their suitcases with swimsuits, shorts and rivets and go to correct their health and mood. However, not everything is so simple: you still have to get to the sea coast, which is often not the closest way.
Despite the development of air travel, now, as well as a decade ago, many vacationers prefer rail tours .The demand for trains can not be overestimated: holidaymakers planning a trip to the Black Sea coast face the problem of purchasing train tickets .In popular destinations, they snap like hot pies, within hours after getting on sale, $ $ .By rail, you can get to almost any Black Sea resort, only in some cases you will have to change .

Resorts of Abkhazia
The railway running along the Black Sea coast in Adler does not end, but goes further to Abkhazia, so it's not harder to get to Abkhazian resorts than to Krasnodar.
After the recent restoration of roads in the village of Vesyoloye, a stable railway service has been established between Russia and Abkhazia, now there are several direct trains: train No. 305S Moscow-Sukhum, trains No. 579B Voronezh-Sukhum and No. 479A St. Petersburg-Sukhumi .Customs and passport control passengers pass directly on the train (in Abkhazia - at Tsandripsh station), everything takes about 30 minutes, then the train enters the territory of Abkhazia .It should be noted that this is a rather slow composition, on the Abkhazian land it moves particularly slowly, so that you will have a great opportunity to view the surrounding nature from the windows of the train .If you speak in numbers, then you will have about 43 hours on the road from Moscow to Sukhumi .
During the entire holiday season, trains from Moscow to Abkhazia depart every day, from October their number is reduced to one flight in a few days.

If you could not get tickets for the Sukhumi train, do not despair: take the tickets for the train to Adler, then from the arrival by taxi, minibus or bus you will reach the border. There, after crossing two posts, you will find yourself on the territory of Abkhazia, or rather in a large area, where there is a parking of buses, shuttles and private owners. From it the ways to any resort Abkhazian city are opened.
