Abkhazia is famous for its mild climate and clean sea coast. The republic is located along the Black Sea. Mountain peaks smoothly pass into coastal valleys with sand and pebbles. Tourists vacationing in Abkhazia prefer to combine a beach holiday with excursions in the mountains, where a breathtaking landscape opens up and crystal clear rivers flow into the lakes.
Climate
The climate in the region is humid subtropical, Mediterranean. Winter is mild, without severe frosts, and summers are hot.
It used to be uncomfortable to rest here, at an altitude of up to 600 meters of sea level, huge malaria swamps were located and life on the plains was impossible. The population of Abkhazia lived mainly in mountainous areas. More than once the question arose about drainage, the result of this was the planting of plants. Tens of thousands of eucalyptus trees were planted, stretching up to 200 liters of water per day.
So, with the help of eucalyptus, an unfavorable place was ennobled and turned into an excellent health resort, where sea air in the company with the healing properties of this useful tree helps in the treatment of children and adults with respiratory diseases.
