Abkhazia Essentials

This selection spans Abkhazia’s diverse landscape, from the high-altitude Lake Ritsa and Krubera Cave—one of the world's deepest—to the subtropical Black Sea coast. Architectural highlights include the 10th-century Pitsunda Cathedral, the medieval Anakopia Fortress, and the 19th-century New Athos Monastery. The list also features Soviet-era history at Stalin’s Dacha, the 18-meter Reprua River, and the therapeutic Kyndyg thermal springs. Gagra’s heritage is represented by the wooden Gagripsh Restaurant and the ruins of the Prince of Oldenburg’s castle.
