Which is better: Abkhazia or Crimea?

Any working person wants to have a quality rest on his well-deserved vacation. It is quite difficult to choose from the mass of advertised resorts, because little is said about the disadvantages of various places, and the advantages are embellished many times over. If we talk about Abkhazia and Crimea, then everyone knows that they are located on the shores of the Black Sea. But where is the best place to rest?

Despite the relatively close geographical location, the climate of Abkhazia and Crimea is different. Moreover, one cannot answer in the affirmative 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 the personal preferences of vacationers. So, what are the differences between the climates of Abkhazia and Crimea?

Crimea is cooler and suitable for those people who find it difficult to be in humidity and heat. In the evening, it is relatively cool here and not as 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 creeping in full force, and only walruses or extreme lovers plunge into the water.

Crimea, to the delight of many, is not famous for high humidity. More open terrain and sea breezes carry away the fumes, making your stay comfortable even in the heat. In Abkhazia, the temperature in summer reaches 40 degrees and above, 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 blood pressure will not be happy here.

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

Abkhazia is a southern country, and its flora is represented mainly by tropical plants. For exotic lovers, this will be very important, since palms, oleanders, magnolias and cypresses will 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 further north in 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 Crimea also has something to see - alpine meadows, plains and beautiful hills. It is impossible to say unequivocally which is more beautiful - Crimea or Abkhazia. The nature of each of these places is unique and inimitable, it is just different.

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

With regard to 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, shops can be counted on one hand, and tiny cafes and canteens are inviting to eat.

Abkhazian cuisine is more exotic. Locals cook excellent meat delicacies and sell unusual dairy products. By tradition, you can treat yourself to chacha, wine and smoked cheese here. In Crimea, everything is adjusted for a typical Russian, in a cafe everything is more and more familiar to our stomach. But there is nothing special to surprise yourself in terms of cooking. What it is - a virtue or a disadvantage, it is up to the traveler himself to decide.

Comparing Crimea with Abkhazia in this regard is rather difficult to carry out. Both places have many attractions to travel to and have an amazing experience. Abkhazia is famous for its caves, waterfalls and gorges. In this country, a series of the famous film about Sherlock Holmes was filmed, where he fought the villain Moriarty. Lake Rizza with Stalin's unfinished dacha is a unique natural landscape of stunning beauty.

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

Crimea is famous for its comfortable beaches with an abundance of entertainment. Here you will find water parks, cafes, and concert venues.All this is good, but noisy enough for those who love unity with nature. In Crimea, during the swimming season, it is difficult to find a free sun lounger on the beach, which is sometimes quite annoying.

In Abkhazia, the situation is different. Long pebble beaches make it possible for any visitor to find a place. Even in the high season, there are not too many people here, but also quite boring. There are not enough cafes here, from entertainment - Abkhazians with tame monkeys in their hands and parachutists. But the relative silence and a beautiful view of the open sea and mountains is something for which the absence of the benefits of civilization should be tolerated.

The big advantage of Crimea is the local airport. In summer, flights here regularly fly from all over our country. 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 thirsty tourist this is not a very pleasant idea. You can also get to Crimea by ferry, which is interesting and convenient. There is a train from Moscow to Abkhazia. The road from point A to point B takes almost two days, which is very tiring, especially in summer.

Well, for those who like to travel in their own car, it is also important to take into account some points. In Crimea, everything is relatively calm in terms of compliance with traffic rules. But Abkhazia is a different country, and here they do not care about movement in accordance with the rules. This is important because it creates the risk of road accidents that will greatly cloud the journey. At any of these resorts, you can have a great vacation.

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