Each tourist who is going to go to relax, the same question arises - and where is it better to say himself? It can be said that recently there are many foreign resorts in front of our compatriots, however, the domestic in principle also remain among the most sought-after. And among them, Sochi and Abkhazia use in great demand among them. But here, to answer the question that is better for rest, it is necessary to disassemble them in a detailed one in several parameters.
Sochi This is of course such a resort region, which is one of the most sought-after in Russia. From other cities of the Black Sea coast, it is distinguished by its extraordinary length of 17 km along the coast, and by the fact that in aggregate with other villages it forms the so-called resort of Big Sochi. The location of this city is incredibly beautiful, since it is located between the Caucasian Mountains and the Black Sea coast.
Due to the fact that in 2014 the Winter Olympics took place. The city has changed significantly and now it is distinguished by wide roads, a large selection of hotels and hotels, many entertainment complexes and sports grounds. As for Abkhazia, it was the best resort at the Soviet Union. But after the hostilities took place here about this resort for a long time forgot tourists. However, recently, this little country is trying to enter the tourist business again. Abkhazia welcoming offers all its guests comfortable hotels with low cost prices, as well as beautiful landscapes and clean beaches.
In essence, Sochi and Abkhazia are neighbors, since the distance between them is a little less than 160 kilometers. And there and there is a wet subtropical climate, so in the summer there is an increased humidity and heat here in the resorts, well, and harsh winters here usually does not happen. Yes, and the number of sunny days and there is very large there, so in terms of climate, which is the same, it is difficult to give to someone preferences.
As for the transport system, thanks to the Sochi Olympiad, the roads and train stations were repaired here, and of course the airport. In the city itself, the transport system is excellent, so you can get in many ways here. In addition, domestic resorts are very popular due to the fact that there is no need to take visas and make a bunch of additional documents.
However, Abkhazia, which, in principle, is another country, does not require any special documents to visit some special documents. However, in order to get to Sochi, you just need to get there, but more specifically fly or arrive by train to Adler. But before Abkhazia, you still need to take a bus, by car, by car, or use taxi services. Therefore, in Abkhazia to get a little longer than in Sochi. Yes, and we must not forget that during the tourist season on the road, traffic jams are often formed.
The beaches in Sochi are only pebble, and the size of pebbles varies from the smallest to the largest, so it's completely uncomfortable to relax there without sun beds and without lounge chairs. But at the same time, pebbles are very hygienic, and in contrast to the sand completely does not stick to the body. In Sochi, the beaches are divided into public with all the necessary entertainment and everything they need for a beach holiday, but there are usually a lot of people. Then there are closed beaches that belong to hotels, they are beautifully equipped, but visiting them is paid. And there are wild beaches without any amenities, but with stunning landscapes. Abkhazia is south of Sochi, so there are both pebble and sandy beaches. For example, in Gagra, pebbles are very loose and then gradually goes into the sand, and beautiful palm trees and olendra grow around the beach.

In Sochi, there are entertainment and adults and for children. Yes, and young people do not have to miss, as it works a huge number of clubs, cafes and of course karaoke bars, which are closed only in the morning. In Abkhazia, in general, there is no such great choice of entertainment. But here there is also a water park, which can be visited with children, well, and in Sukhumi there is an arboretum and monkey kennel. Yes, at the popular resort, New Athos can visit the ancient caves and unique monasteries. Well, you should not forget about the popular Lake Rice and the most ancient monuments related to the Paleolithic periods, then mesolithic, as well as antiquity to the Middle Ages.
As for prices, there is definitely cheaper by Abkhazia - there is cheaper excursions, entertainment, food and accommodation. Well, about Sochi, it is impossible to say that it is a cheap resort. Therefore, if the budget is very limited, then the rest is definitely you should go to Abkhazia.

Also, summing up we can say that in Sochi, in addition to entertainment and the fact that tourist infrastructure is very easily developed, there is also a lot of shopping centers with shops in which you can buy everything you need. Also here drivers perfectly comply with the rules of the road, and in Abkhazia, the road should be moved with very great attentiveness.
