Which is better: Abkhazia or Crimea?

Any working person wants to have a good rest on his well-earned vacation. It is rather difficult to choose from the mass of advertised resorts, because the shortcomings of various places are said a little, and the merits are embellished many times. If we talk about Abkhazia and the Crimea, everyone knows that they are located on the shores of the Black Sea. But where is better to rest?

Despite the relatively close geographical location, the climate of Abkhazia and the Crimea varies. And it is impossible to answer in the affirmative exactly where it is better to rest, since the climatic conditions of these places are good for some visitors and unbearable for others. It all depends on the characteristics of the body and personal preferences of tourists. So, what are the differences between the climate of Abkhazia and the Crimea?

The Crimea is cooler and will suit those people who find it difficult to stay in humidity and heat. In the evening it is relatively cool and not so stuffy as in Abkhazia. But there is another nuance: in September, the velvet season begins in Abkhazia, allowing you to comfortably enjoy the last warm days and soak up the cooling sea. And in the Crimea, at this time, autumn with its cold winds is already sneaking up, and perhaps only walruses or extreme sports lovers dive into the water.

Crimea, to the delight of many, is not famous for high humidity. More open terrain and sea breezes carry away evaporation, which makes staying here comfortable even in hot weather. In Abkhazia, the temperature in summer reaches 40 degrees and higher, and the humidity is very high. In the summer heat, the atmosphere here resembles a steam room in a bath, so people with heart problems and high pressure will not be good here.

In Abkhazia, you can swim in the sea from mid-May, in contrast to the Crimea, where the swimming season begins from the end of June, and even from the middle of July. Abkhazia is suitable for those who want to roast their tired bones well and bask in the waves of warm, like fresh milk, sea. Since it is obviously hotter in Abkhazia, the water here warms up much faster than in the Crimea. In addition to the obvious advantages in the form of bathing comfort, the warm water of Abkhazia has its drawbacks.

Abkhazia is a southern country, and its flora is represented mainly by tropical plants. For lovers of the exotic, this will be very important, as palm trees, oleanders, magnolias and cypress trees surround the traveler from all sides. It is simply impossible to look away from flowering and fragrant plants. Crimea is stingy with colorful vegetation, as it is located north of latitude.

The peaks of the Caucasus are much higher than the Crimean Mountains. Therefore, in Abkhazia, it will be more interesting to look at various gorges, waterfalls, lakes and glaciers. But in the Crimea there is something to see - alpine meadows, plains and beautiful hills. It is impossible to say for sure that it is more beautiful - the Crimea or Abkhazia. The nature of each of these places is unique and inimitable, it’s just different.

Here you can answer unequivocally: in the Crimea, the tourism industry functions better than in Abkhazia. The private sector is more developed, as local people earn as they can - often their only source of income. In addition, in the Crimea, you can find a hotel for every taste, even the most fastidious tourists will find a hotel to their liking.

As for food and shops, the situation is similar. In Crimea, you can find supermarkets, and various restaurants, both fast food and chic, with amazing chefs. In Abkhazia, the same shops can be counted on the fingers, and tiny cafes and canteens are calling for food.

The cuisine of Abkhazia is more exotic. The locals do great meat delicacies and sell unusual dairy products. By tradition, you can treat yourself to chacha, wine and smoked cheese. In Crimea, everything is arranged for a typical Russian, in a cafe all the more familiar to our stomach. But to surprise yourself in terms of cooking there is nothing special. What is the advantage or disadvantage is up to the traveler himself.

Comparing the Crimea with Abkhazia in this regard is quite difficult to implement. In both places there are many attractions where you can go and get amazing impressions. Abkhazia is famous for its caves, waterfalls and gorges. In this country, filmed a series of the famous film about Sherlock Holmes, where he fought the villain Moriarty. Lake Riztsa with an unfinished cottage of Stalin - a unique natural landscape of stunning beauty.

In the Crimea, you can see the famous castle Swallows Nest, Admiralty Cathedral, Mount Ai-Petri and other attractions. Abkhazia is full of amazing beauty of places, but here's another leisure is very lame. Here you will not find entertainment events, amusement parks and other similar places. But in the Crimea such full. Abkhazia is suitable for a peaceful holiday, for those who are not looking for fun adventures.

Crimea is famous for its well-maintained beaches with an abundance of entertainment. Here at your service and water parks, and cafes, and concert venues. All this is good, but noisy enough for those who love unity with nature. In the Crimea during the swimming season it is difficult to find a free sunbed on the beach, which is sometimes very annoying.

In Abkhazia, the situation is different. Long pebble beaches allow any visitor to find a place. Even at the height of the season there are not too many people here, but also quite boring. The cafe here is not enough, from the entertainment - Abkhazians with tame monkeys in their hands and parachutists. But relative silence and a beautiful view of the open sea and the mountains - this is something for which it is worth suffering the absence of the benefits of civilization.

The great advantage of the Crimea is the local airport. In the summer, flights from all over the country regularly fly here. There is no airport in Abkhazia, which is not very convenient. Of course, you can fly to Adler and from there go by bus or train to Sukhum, but for a tired and eager tourist, this is not a very pleasant idea. You can also get to the Crimea by ferry, which is interesting and convenient. There is a train going from Moscow to Abkhazia. The road from point A to point B takes almost two days, which is very tiring, especially in summer.

But for lovers of traveling on their own cars, it is also important to consider some points. In Crimea, everything is relatively calm in terms of compliance with traffic regulations. But Abkhazia is another country, and here they refer to movement in accordance with the rules a bit disregard. This is important because it creates a danger of accidents on the roads, which pretty much cloud the journey. At any of these resorts you can have a great holiday.

It is important to choose a place to rest taking into account the peculiarities of your body and character. Abkhazia is above all natural beauty with a hot and humid climate, and the Crimea is a civilized rest surrounded by many people, with a milder climate for Russians.
