Gagra is a quiet and picturesque resort on the northwestern coast of Abkhazia, where the sea meets the foothills of the Greater Caucasus. The city with a rich history of resort holidays, ancient boulevards and the characteristic atmosphere of the southern seaside settlement attracts beach lovers and nature researchers.
Man-made sights of Gagra tell about centuries-old history and Soviet resort heritage: a wide embankment with walking alleys and observation platforms, old buildings and remains of the fortress of Abbat with the temple of St. Hypatius, eucalyptus alley and cozy city bridges. There are monuments within the city, including a monument to the crew of the T-55 Mustang tank and memorials dedicated to the events of the early 1990s, and small museums and craft shops near Lake Ritsa offer local souvenirs.
The natural sights around Gagra are a real encyclopedia of Caucasian beauty: the mountain rivers Zhvava-Kvara and Reprua, the full-flowing cascades of the Joequary and Geg waterfalls, the Milk and Bird waterfalls, as well as the famous “Male tears” and “Maiden tears”. The Arabian mountain range stores karst caves and entrances to Krubera Voronya, and the canyons of Yupshar and Khashupse are striking in scale. Surround the resort peaks of Agepsta and Mamzyshha, and in the depths - lakes Ritsa and Mza and picturesque valleys like Orto-Balagan.
