Resorts near the sea in Abkhazia. The best seaside resorts. Gudauta resort.

Gudauta is one of the best seaside resorts in Abkhazia, which attracts tourists by its location in close proximity to the sea, on the shore of the Pacific Black Sea Gulf. This picturesque resort offers not only beautiful beaches and the opportunity to enjoy the sea breeze, but also a rich historical and architectural heritage, which is worth a visit.

The resort sits on an elevated plateau and is surrounded to the north and northeast by majestic mountains that merge with the Caucasus Mountains. These mountains are adorned with snow-capped peaks that are covered with snow almost all year long. This unusual contrast between the snowy peaks and the warm sea air creates a special atmosphere. On an elevated section of the sea coast there is a picturesque park, where tourists can enjoy the beauty of nature and tranquility.

The history of this place, like many other cities in Abkhazia, has thousands of years. Already in ancient times, since the Neolithic Age, there were settlements and culture developed here. During its long history the town has experienced many changes and has witnessed different epochs and civilizations. In the heyday of the Colchis Kingdom, on the territory of the modern municipality were built many magnificent cathedrals, towers and fortresses. Special attention deserves Likhny Assumption Cathedral, built in the X-XI centuries, which is located just 4 km from Gudauta. This cathedral impresses with its beauty and uniqueness. The walls of the cathedral are decorated with frescoes of the XIV century, and the Georgian inscriptions in asomtavruli (the ancient Georgian alphabet) give it a special character and historical value. One such inscription, which is located on the southern part of the upper tier, reports the appearance in the sky of Halley's comet in 1066, describing it as a slanted star. Not so far from the city, just 20 kilometers away, is the famous resting place of Soviet officials, Musser. It is interesting to note that Joseph Stalin owned 20 dacha plots throughout the Soviet Union. Seven of them were in Georgia, including Gagra, Lake Ritza, New Athos, Mussera, Tskaltubo and Borjomi. However, he visited the dacha house in Musseri more often than the others. Currently, Stalin's house in Musseri has become a tourist attraction, and his residence is the unofficial residence of the President of Abkhazia.
