I was at the Ritz in the 80s. A lot has changed since then. birch trees have been built up, numerous cafes and catamaran rental points distract from the contemplation of the beautiful lake. It is very crowded in the summer. But the lake itself is amazing!
My favorite place! Very beautiful in summer, winter, spring, autumn... every day! There are delicious cafes nearby. The scenery along the roads is simply indescribable beauty! 🥰
Ohhh it's great, I can't describe the beauty.
The place is cool, the climate is great, the nature is gorgeous!
The whole family is delighted with the place on Lake Ritsa!!!
I recommend visiting.
A beautiful place, a large observation deck or a place for a photo.
There are many cafes and eateries on the right and left side.
We were in the extreme left, Abkhazian lunch -500 ₽ (smoked meat, beans like lobio, hominy)
Everything is too salty floating in fat -not tasty, there was smoked cheese in hominy, too, and very salty.
Shish kebab lamb skewer-600 ₽ is also a complete disappointment hard and smelly.
The only thing was a delicious boat -khachapuri in Adjarian, lavash with meat.
I have long dreamed of visiting Lake Ritsa... It's a wonderful place. Such a beauty!!!! Clouds lay on the mountains, the sun and the azure lake...That's great!!!
Splendor, beauty, everyone will have a great mood, had a great rest, went for a ride, had a delicious meal, in general everything they dreamed of came true, thank you all, I am grateful to everyone and everything🤗
A very pleasant place to relax in any weather. The lake is crystal clear. There is no garbage. You can take a catamaran and swim on the lake. Swimming is prohibited. The lake is worth a visit anyway.
I expected more from the main attraction of Abkhazia. In general, it was good, but there was not enough naturalness. And it was me at the beginning of May, not in the season. Cafes were annoying, as with music from the Soviet Union. And the water is muddy. I was pleased with the mountains in the snow on the background. The road to the Ritz is worth special attention. She's beautiful. I recommend going on an individual tour with a good guide.
Ohhh, this is heaven!
A gorgeous place, with beautiful nature! The road is not close, it takes time, but beautiful views on the way to Rizza, comment!
I come to Rizza at different times of the year, I recommend May-it's just a fairy tale!
Beauty! And delicious! Everything is delicious: the air, the views, and, in the end, the food! Catamarans for rent. And you can have a picnic in the middle of the lake, which many people do. The scenic road to the lake is a separate adventure!
A unique place!!! The beauty is extraordinary!!! And if you have the opportunity to take a boat ride, then be sure to do it!!! Relax!!! Beauty!!! An interesting story!!!
A beautiful lake, especially in sunny weather, the water is emerald blue! The pictures are gorgeous. There are several observation decks, many cafes and souvenir shops. Catamaran rental for 2 and 4 people. You can see the mountains covered with snow! And in cloudy weather, the lake is not very good - the water is gray, and there is no snow on the mountains.
A very beautiful lake! I was there when it was already beginning to get dark, but the impression of this is not a little worse, even the highlight is special. This is September 2023.
We were on a tour of Lake Ritsa and we really liked it. The nature is gorgeous, you just can't take your voice off. You will definitely visit Gagra and you will not regret it.
Guys, this is a fairy tale! Everyone should go there! It's beyond words. There is no such nature anywhere else! It's a pity to swim in lakes at the same time)
It turns out to be a marina . Local "local historians" drive everyone into expensive cafes without showing or telling anything about the lake. The cost of the tip is immediately entered into the check and the check will not be repaid until you pay the tip in full, tips here are not voluntary, but a mandatory fee that does not depend on the quality of service.
Today I was at the cafe Amra or ampra, located after the bridge on the right in the direction of Malaya Ritsa. We took a vegetable slicer and a boat with a friend, it sucks full, threw up on arrival home, a friend does not leave the satire.
We were at Stalin's dacha, we really liked it, but we have to go here for the whole day and in the morning in order to have time to go to the alpine lake
The lake is beautiful, there are no words.
The rest is so-so.
They shoe tourists on everything.
Everything is very expensive.
It's hard to drive through traffic jams and all that.
The lake is very beautiful, and the shore is in a sad state. Local merchants bought new beautiful catamarans (made in Crimea), and the old ones from Soviet times were simply hidden in the bushes around. Indeed, why suffer and take it out somewhere or dispose of it? There is no embankment as such - a shore with fragments of planks from the construction of piers for rental and garbage that no one cleans up.
