Abkhazia is a good place to relax ( of course there were problems before) but everything is fine now. My wife and I occasionally stop by when we are in Sochi. Beautiful beaches ( cleaner than Sochi , so say the Sochi residents themselves, I agree ) , good roads , acceptable service ( there are hotels aimed at our tourists , full transfer) and of course nature! No wonder these places were considered the best under the Union and many people aspired here . We stopped by on 06/23/12 in the afternoon ( I recommend refueling in Sochi ) AI95 costs 62-58 rubles , insurance is needed to travel around Abkhazia , very sincere police officers will help with it ( this is not a joke ) , it costs 1000 rubles for a week . I recommend local alcohol :) very good quality! They are already diluting it in Sochi :) . 1 liter of cognac costs about 600-800 rubles . And of course fruits, everything grows there , bananas too :) I saw it myself . If you have not been to Abkhazia, I recommend it! Addition, be extremely careful on the road moving into the depths of Abkhazia towards (New Athos), Cows walk freely, lie , stand , do not move like a monument , and all this in the middle of the road ( the Abkhazian bold breed) , have a good rest! I completely forgot, IT's VERY IMPORTANT! Turn off the internet on your phone!!! Roaming charges are simply insane!! When entering Abkhazia from the right side , where insurance is sold, they also sell a local SIM card costs 300 rubles unlimited + 35 rubles a day , in any case it is profitable ( believe me .. I got to 1 tr in 5 minutes :( ) .

Good afternoon. The transition from Russia to Abkhazia was remembered for two moments. 1. it became much faster to pass the checkpoint, the windows are open, which surprised me very quickly, without delay and unnecessary questions. 2. To travel by transport (a minibus transfer was ordered from local people who constantly cross the border) I will clarify: we left Abkhazia, went to a hotel near the airport, waited two hours, drove an hour, waited an hour for the transport to be inspected and agreed upon departure the most annoying thing is that no one needs this inspection, it was done on departure.. but the documents were apparently checked very carefully. Whoever was there saw plenty of time, everyone looks significant. The most interesting thing is that the car of the Russian Federation goes along a separate lane. In short, if you can go to the plane and be late, it's easier to get to the checkpoint and go and order a taxi from Sochi. Good luck to everyone.

It's just tin, I didn't go through, turned around and left, stood for an hour waiting for the 6th window to open, there are only 6 of them in the hall. A friend drove by car in 10 minutes. I was passing a pedestrian car, 5 windows were open!!! On the 6th, the stuffiness did not open, the end of September, the condors turned everything off, they save electricity, people have a cool hall right on the tail street, that year 2 employees worked in each window and two more windows were opened on the street, this year they create an artificial crowd!!! People go home from work, someone goes to work in the morning, children go to the section, school. You ask the inspector to open the 6th window, he says there are no employees! Although in fact they are!
