Abkhazia is a region — a region of Georgia, about 7 h by car from Tbilisi, 3 h 30 min from Kutaisi and 3 h 45 min from Batumi. Home to about 102,000 people.
Abkhazia is a region of Georgia on the north-eastern Black Sea coast, historically celebrated for its subtropical shoreline, the lake at Ritsa and the medieval churches of Pitsunda and Mokvi. Since the early 1990s it has been outside the control of the Georgian government and is not accessible to visitors from the Georgian side. GTour does not organise travel to Abkhazia; this page is included for completeness of Georgia's regions.
Travellers interested in the Black Sea will find the accessible coast in Ajara, Guria and Samegrelo, described on their own pages.
