Мы были с детьми весной и через 4 мес.я снова поехала в Абхазию,в этот раз уже с супругом посетили Сан Томмазо. Очень понравилось место,где расположена крепость,сидели на обрыве в кафе,и любовались чайками над морем и тишиной,уединение с природой👍. ОЧЕНЬ ЧАСТО ВСПОМИНАЮ ОБ ЭТОМ. Обязательно хочу вернуться в крепость
