For decades, the attention of tourists has been attracted by the village of Primorsk. Abkhazia is the place of its localization. Unique hydrogen sulfide springs and healing clay have provided this small village with the status of one of the highest-quality healing resorts in the Caucasus.
Seaside, or Tskuara, as locals call it in their own language, has all the features of a first-class medical resort: a mirror-clear sea, clean and not crowded beaches of the Black Sea, mountains and beautiful landscapes. All this is available to visitors at very low prices. Excursions, special programs for rehabilitation and a minimum of city bustle of the modern metropolis - this is the formula that can be used to describe the village of Primorsky in Abkhazia.
Seaside, or Tskuara
You will find the village on the map if you pay attention to the Gudauta district of Abkhazia. It is located in close proximity to New Athos - only seven kilometers. The name of the village changed over time. Today, for example, Tskuara is the official name, which is more convenient for Georgian visitors and Abkhazians, but not for Russian tourists. For the latter, the old Soviet name, which the village bore from 1925 to 1948, Primorskoe, is more familiar.
Abkhazia, in comparison with other countries (Turkey and Egypt, in particular), is not a very popular resort. Therefore, Russian tourists do not get here very often, although they are still the main part of visitors.
Where are we going?
Primorsky (Abkhazia) is a small village. The last major population census was carried out in these parts in 2011, which is relatively recent. Then the data on the number of people living in Primorsky showed a figure of 1384 inhabitants. At the same time, most of them are somehow related to the main area of activity in the village - servicing a hospital on the beach and potential tourists.
The village itself stretches along the Black Sea. On its territory there are many hydrogen sulfide sources and healing clay. Most of them were brought to the surface only in the middle of the twentieth century. And only one source received proper clearance under the Soviet regime. A small hospital in its place was located in a very favorable place, not far away - a river and a waterfall. This place is considered open to anyone who wants to take a wellness course. Therefore, we invite everyone to patch up their health and gain strength before going to the mountains in this hospital.
Hydrogen sulfide baths
What can offer its visitors a vacation in Primorsky? Abkhazia has a unique geological environment, so that hydrogen sulfide water - the main trump card of Primorsky - will help you spend a unique vacation. This water is popularly called "living." And such a comparison was used not in vain: although a special course of ten hydrogen sulfide therapeutic baths can not be called a panacea, a cure for all diseases, it will help to raise the level of self-awareness qualitatively for sure.
"Live" baths for 15 minutes a day help with problems with the cardiovascular and nervous systems, digestive organs, musculoskeletal system, skin. Obesity, insomnia, radiation sickness are also on the list of those ailments that can be overcome by a hydrogen sulfide bath. No wonder this hospital was very popular in Soviet times.
What to do here, besides taking “live” baths?
Of course, rest in the village of Primorskoe (Abkhazia) is not limited to hydrogen sulfide baths. Reviews of tourists are full of excellent descriptions of excursion programs, trips to nearby attractions. Literally at hand - a clear sea with a minimum of visitors on the beaches, while the swimming season is open from mid-spring to October.
Visitors like the fact that not far from the village there are famous Orthodox shrines of the Caucasus - just a ten-minute drive separates you from the New Athos Monastery, New Athos Cave, Iverskaya Mountain and the cell of Simon Kananit. It will be especially interesting for people who believe and are interested in Orthodoxy to visit these places. In addition, judging by the guest reviews, you have at your disposal mountains, sea and clean air. To go to Primorskoe or, for example, to Sochi is everyone’s personal choice. However, if you make it in favor of Abkhazia, you will receive not only high-quality rest and professional wellness services, but also enjoyment from the pristine nature.
