Georgia Abkhazia

Gagra is a town in Abkhazia, sprawling for 5km on the northeast coast of the Black Sea, at the foot of the Caucasus Mountains. Its subtropical climate made Gagra a popular health resort in Imperial Russian and Soviet times. It had a population of 26,636 in 1989, but this has fallen considerably due to the ethnic cleansing of Georgians in Abkhazia and other demographic shifts during and after the War in Abkhazia (1992–93). When visiting, do not miss the beach of the strewn historic and architectural landmarks.

Sukhumi is the capital of the de facto independent Republic of Abkhazia. The majority of the international community consider it to be a part of Georgia even though Georgia has no control over Sukhumi and the rest of Abkhazia ever since the 1992-93 war in Abkhazia. Sukhumi houses a number of historical monuments, notably the Beslet arcaded bridge built during the reign of queen Tamar of Georgia in the 12th century. It also retains visible vestiges of the defunct monuments, including the Roman walls, several fortresses, and nearby monasteries.

Pitsunda or Bichvinta is a resort town in Gagra district of Abkhazia. The town was founded in the 5th century BC as Pityus or Pitiunt, a Greek colony and trade port on the coast of the Kingdom of Lazica. Pitsunda was the favourite resort of First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev. Its attractions include a beach, a cathedral, and several nearby historic monuments.

New Athos or Akhali Atoni is a town in the Gudauta raion of Abkhazia, situated some 22km from Sukhumi by the shores of the Black Sea. New Athos Cave is one of the tourist attractions of Abkhazia, Georgia. A large ancient Greek port town of Anacopia was recorded there in the 3rd century. Its ruins are still visible.
