AbkhaziaWhat to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting
One of the popular tourist attractions that are offered in Gagra is boat trips. You can go to the open sea with regular group tours along one of the two standard routes, or you can rent a boat with a captain and go to any place you wish. During such walks you will enjoy the fascinating views of the beautiful coast of Abkhazia, and with a high probability you will meet dolphins. They also offer a sea fisherman from a boat.
Standard inexpensive group tours are available in two versions:
- A walk in the open sea along the coast: duration - 1.5 hours, cost – from 1500 rubles, children under 6 years – free of charge.
- A walk to Pitsunda and to the island of Shlypra: duration – 2.5 hours, cost – from 2500 rubles, children under 6 years old – free of charge.
As for the island of Shlypra, in fact it is not an island at all, but just a hard-to-reach shore in the Pitsundo-Musser Nature Reserve, which in fact is of no particular interest. Here, for example, what they say about visiting this "island" in a chat in Abkhazia.
