Sukhumi (Georgia) - Wink Travel Guide

Sukhumi is the capital and principal city of Abkhazia. It has for the better part of the last century been famous throughout the former Soviet Union as a prominent subtropical beach resort, complete with palm trees, botanical gardens, and citrus plantations, backed by the high alpine peaks of the Greater Caucasus Mountains.

You can easily see Sukhum's urban sights in one afternoon; spend the rest of your time on the beach or doing day trips to northern Abkhazia. The region is relatively small, so Sukhum is a great base to explore it all.

Wink Travel Guides introduce you to the best world travel destinations, in a clear and concise way, illustrated by photos.
