Mahajirov Embankment

The embankment of the Makhadzhirs (ethnic Abkhazians who in the XIX century were forcibly evicted by the tsarist government to the Ottoman Empire) is a seaside promenade, one of the most picturesque places in the city.

The embankment was built in the early twentieth century. The oldest buildings of the embankment are the buildings of the shipping company and the former hotel "Russia". Here in 1925 was Sergei Yesenin.

Your trip should start with this embankment, which most closely tells visitors about the history of the city. It is not surprising that on the waterfront there are many hotels, restaurants and cafes, distinguished by the fantasies of their former owners. White stone houses, interesting balconies and verandas, mansions of Venetian brick together create the original appearance of the Sukhumi embankment.

In May 2010, a monument to the poet Bagrat Shinkuba was erected on the embankment.
