For several years now, after Russia recognized the independence of the Republic of Abkhazia, its borders have become open to Russian citizens wishing to spend their holidays here. Of course, most of them are planning a trip during the summer, for example, in July, to guarantee themselves the bright sun and warm sea. But other months will be no less comfortable for rest in Abkhazia.
Rest in Abkhazia
During the Soviet era, in the boarding houses and rest houses of Gagra and Pitsunda, which were considered all-Union health resorts, a mere mortal could only get into the off-season, from November to February. This truly paradise with its magnificent, luxurious nature attracted the party elite and the nomenclature to rest. Now anyone can come to Abkhazia to rest.
Someone comes here on vouchers issued through travel agencies, someone prefers to rent an apartment upon arrival or by agreeing with the owners in advance via the Internet. But wherever you settle down, the warm gentle sea will be nearby and there will be enough sunny days for the entire vacation period. All cities and large settlements of Abkhazia are located mainly on the coast, along which the busiest highway Adler-Sukhum runs.
Rest in Abkhazia is not only lying on the beach and evening feasts in a cafe, but also excursions to interesting places with a long history. Abkhazia was an enclave of Christian Byzantium, therefore, many of its historical monuments are associated with the history of Christianity. Next to the famous New Athos monastery is the temple of Simenon the Canaanite, built in the 5th century, and in the town of Kamany there is a temple where the sarcophagus of John Chrysostom, exiled there from Constantinople, is kept. Thermal springs and beautiful mountain lakes, the Pitsunda temple, where concerts of organ music are held, are waiting for you.
The "hottest" city of Abkhazia is Gagra, at this resort the average temperature in July is 26.5 ° C.
Weather in Abkhazia
Bad weather with winds, fogs and rains occurs in Abkhazia only from November to February, the rest of the time the sun is guaranteed to you. The sea, however, heats up only by the end of May, but September and October are still the swimming season. In July, the heat already begins on the coast, which many people can hardly tolerate due to high humidity. But, if you rent a room in a boarding house, they are all equipped with modern air conditioning. On the coast, the heat is relieved by the constant breeze that is filled with sea coolness and aroma.
The sea water temperature off the coast of Abkhazia in July at the beginning of the month is + 23 ° C, and by the end it can already reach 25 ° C.
For July, the average temperature is + 25 ° C, but you should take into account that there are several climatic zones on the territory of the republic - from the subtropics to the highlands, therefore, if you rest on the coast, expect that it will be at least 30 ° C during the day, but in the morning - only 22-25 ° C. It almost never rains at this time.
