Sukhum is the colorful capital of Abkhazia on the Black Sea coast, a city with a centuries-old history and a warm sea atmosphere. Ancient ruins and Soviet architecture intertwine here, Orthodox shrines and memorable places of the XX century, and the streets breathe a mixture of cultures and traditions. Walks along the promenade and views from the coastal hills create a feeling of light mystery and an invitation to discover new corners.
Man-made sights of Sukhum amaze with variety: The Sukhum fortress of Dioscuria and the ruins of Bagrat Castle tell about the ancient defensive lines, the Drand Cathedral and the Kamansky monastery of St. John Chrysostom keep the religious history of the region. The Sukhumi Botanical Garden is a green treasure with rare views, and the embankments of Dioskurov and Makhadzhirov offer picturesque walks by the sea. The city also houses monuments to Bagrat Shinkuba, a memorial to the victims of the conflict and a monument to mahajirs, and engineering monuments such as the Red and Besletsky Bridges add a special charm to the city panorama.
The natural sights and surroundings of Sukhum are impressive: the Kodor River and the majestic Kodori Gorge open mountain landscapes and a shelter for trekking lovers, Sukhum Mountain gives panoramas of the city and the sea, and the corners close to the resort - Avathara, Lake Ritsa, alpine meadows and waterfalls - give the opportunity for a secluded rest in nature. Springs and shrines such as the chapel and spring of St. Basilisk, as well as the monkey nursery and picturesque canyons make the region diverse and attractive for tourists.
