Any tourist will confirm that the rest in Gagra (private sector) can be entered into the relaxation allowance. Can you imagine that a holiday on the Black Sea can be exotic and, most pleasantly, inexpensive? Private sectors in Abkhazia (Gagry, Sukhum, Pitsunda have the most developed infrastructure) give an unforgettable vacation to tourists, allow them to touch the amazing local culture and feel themselves a little Abkhaz!

Country for the joy of the soul and body

Solar Apsny ("country of the soul" in translation from the Abkhazian), as it is called by the indigenous people, is located on the north-eastern shore of the Black Sea. The earth is rich and transparent sea waters, and useful air, and picturesque mountain slopes, and kind people. Its territorial affiliation is not in vain for many years - the subject of political disputes.

The nature here is amazing - the majestic Main Caucasus ridge seems to embrace the seashore, drowning in the green of trees, with its slopes. There are many clean mountain rivers, which, like blood vessels, carry life to plants and animals. And what air is here! Rich in sea salts, it instantly refreshes and gives vigor and strength.

Abkhazia is famous for its mineral springs, there are more than 170 of them, so first of all tourists come here with the goal to improve the body. There are also balneological resorts in this wonderful country where you can treat yourself to a massage, mineral baths, clay, herbal inhalations for a nominal fee. And active travelers find a lesson for themselves - there are all conditions for diving and rafting.

Gagry (private sector): housing nuances

Let's say you decided to go to the city of Gagra (or Gagra, as they say). Where to stay? In comparison with the prices for hotel rooms , private sectors in Gagra, Pitsunda, Novy Afon offer truly budget accommodation. You can rent a room here for a nominal fee - from 5 USD. E. Per day from one person.

But there is one nuance. If you choose Gagry for recreation, the private sector there is not very large, and therefore guest houses are few. They are often snapped up by regular customers even before the season begins. It is better to book accommodation in advance! Of course, if you go to Tsandripsh or Gechripsh, there is a big choice of housing, besides, the houses stand next to the sea.

But tourists say that the main thing that Abkhazia is famous for is Gagry. The private sector here most fully conveys the features of the life of the Abkhazians. In addition, even the sea here is able to surprise.

The same sea, but different

Colorful country of Abkhazia! Gagra, whose private sector is represented by cozy small courtyards, will provide the tourist with a calm and measured rest. There are no crowds of travelers, souvenir vendors and gags for rides.

In addition, many holidaymakers say that the Black Sea is completely different. Not such as, for example, on the South Coast or in Turkey. Due to the fact that the climate here is subtropical, the water is not as salty as on other coasts, and even the jellyfish are benevolent - without burning tentacles!

Private sector in Gagra: features of life

If you decide to devote your next vacation to sunny Apsna - congratulations, you are on the threshold of amazing discoveries. But if you think that you will go to Gagry (private sector) and rest there with the same set of services as, for example, in Turkey, you are mistaken. Abkhazians provide vacationers with not isolated houses, but rooms in their own, where they live with their families. There are no conveniences in the guest house, most often they are not even in the house, but in the courtyard in the street.

People who are particularly accustomed to comfort, such living conditions may seem unacceptable. But believe me, this is a trifle, when you realize the amazing place you hit. New acquaintances with the locals for gay lavish feasts, a unique opportunity to go with a hospitable owner for fishing, underwater hunting or to the mountains compensate for the wretchedness of life. Gagry (private sector) will give an unforgettable vacation to everyone who wishes. Feedback from experienced tourists is proof of this.

Product prices

There is another pleasant fact - the prices in stores are calculated mainly for economical local residents, and not for tourists with thick wallets. Therefore, you can easily not deny yourself anything and live a week at the resort more economically than at home!

Vegetables, fruits, milk and sour cream can be bought directly from their owners, as well as delicious homemade wine. This Abkhazian grape drink is very useful. In addition, he has a luxurious taste, which will be appreciated even by the "non-alcoholic" person, critically adjusted to degrees.

Another variant of housing

If you are not ready for Spartan living conditions and want to spend your vacation in comfort, the best option for accommodation, as the tourists note, will be new cozy guest houses in the private sector. In Gagra, they already built a lot. But, accordingly, accommodation in them will cost much more than, for example, in the house of one of the hospitable Abkhazian families.

On average, the cost of renting a detached guest house is between 25 and 50 y. E. Per day. For this money you will have the opportunity to live in isolation, with all the amenities (up to the hair dryer), but you will not be able to experience all the delights of the life of the indigenous people and to learn the mysterious and amazing solar Apsny in full. The choice is yours!

Sightseeing: forward for emotions!

What, apart from the sea and local color, can provide holidaymakers with Gagra? The private sector can quickly become bored, and the soul will want "spectacles." And in this case the tourist will find what to do here. What advice do those who are planning to visit in Gagra receive who rested here?

Undoubtedly, the old part of the city is worthy of attention. There, the visitors can see the Zhoekvar Gorge and the ancient Gagra city fortification - the Abaat complex. On the territory of the fortress there is a small basilica. Historians say that it was built in the 6th century!

And lovers of thrill and extreme will bring an unforgettable vacation to Gagra (Abkhazia). The private sector and the new part of the city, as well as the vast expanses of the sea surface can be seen from a bird's-eye view, if you visit the observation deck located on the top of Mamzyshha Mountain (altitude above sea level - 2000 meters). The view is truly amazing and exciting!

Gagra is also famous for the only water park in Abkhazia. Here, people from all over the country come to splash in pools with slides.

Along the sea is the main park zone of the city - Seaside Park. It is rich in various sculptures, palm trees, coniferous, citrus trees and comfortable benches for carefree travelers on its surroundings. About a thousand species of plants from around the world found their place in the Seaside Park.

Having enjoyed the dimensionality of life, sitting in the shadow of numerous trees, one can recover to a fascinating journey along the cable car leading to the legendary castle of Prince Oldenburg. Or visit the famous restaurant called "Hagripsh", which is located on a small hill in front of the Seaside Park. Noteworthy is that the building in which the restaurant is located is built of Norwegian pine without the use of nails! The institution was appreciated by such great people as Ivan Bunin, Anton Chekhov, Maxim Gorky, Fedor Chaliapin.

Lakes of Abkhazia: the beauty of nature

You can go outside the city and see even more interesting! For example, tourists say that it's a sin not to visit Abkhazian lakes - Ritsa and Goluboy.

Lake Ritsa - a miracle of earthly nature! God, not otherwise, chose a place for his location. The local nature is simply breathtaking! Majestic mountain peaks, covered with bright velvet greens, seem to guard the pond from the whole world.

No matter how sorry, but few have left such places on the planet, wherever a man has interfered. And around the lake Rita recently infrastructure began to develop intensively. In the neighborhood, numerous tourist centers, cafes and restaurants have grown. In general, everything is civilized. Connoisseurs of virgin nature, maybe it's grieving, but now any tourist who wishes can be pampered here, not only experienced conquerors of mountain peaks.

Blue Lake - sparkling in many shades of sapphire amidst emerald forests and uncut rocks. The reservoir is one of the cleanest on Earth. The indigenous people consider it their main pride. The lake is so calm that nothing will disturb its blue surface. And even the underground river, which bursts into it from the direction of an uncontrollable stream, immediately dies down, merging with the blue waters.

Excursions to the lakes can be ordered in all, without exception, the travel agency of Abkhazia. The price ranges from 10 to 20 y. E. (Depends on the number of people in the group, the level of comfort of the bus and the point of departure). Travel, discover new worlds and fresh emotions - come to Abkhazia!
