The village of Zandrypsh is the most nearby resort from the border with the Russian Federation, there is a little nine of the main tourist routes, but it wins more than the opposite. The village itself is located between the two federal tracks (the old, almost abandoned and new), according to which there is pretty livingly road transport, both private and public. Through the village, mostly transit, the route of intercity flight buses next to the city of Gagra, Pitsundu, Sukhum is held. Plus, the mass of private and route taxis will deliver any number of holidaymakers for its intended purpose, the main thing would be a desire. So get to the above bed, the Labor village is not.
Resort Zandrypsh - the best place for family holidays. As the youth resort of the village is not even considered, there is no entertainment infrastructure. Everything is quiet, calm. People come here, for all the time of their holidays remain alone with magnificent nature and gorgeous, affectionate sea, away from the hum of annoying megalopolises. And nature here is just gorgeous. The village is drowning in greenery. Slender cypresses, unmatched eucalyptus trees, landforn pines are planted. And all this wealth surrounds the village from all sides, creating a unique microclimate.
The scientific experience of the previous visit to Abkhazia, we completely abandoned the dysfunction of the Soviet sample, and preferred the private sector. This is how you can feel the present hospitality of the Abkhaz people. After all, one thing when you came to the boarding house where you are not a guest, but a simple tourist (a dairy cow for owners, well, at best, just a rest). Another thing is the private sector. You live in the house at the owners, regardless of the purpose of arrival - you first of all the guest of this family, only then everything else (tourist, resting, etc.). It is just amazing how hospitable the owners can be, taking almost unfamiliar people. This is the Abkhaz people in the blood. I do not want to say that we were sheltered as "refugees" and we juts in the same room, not at all. This wonderful family of Abkhaz residents just lives at the expense of tourists and coming to them holidaymakers. This is their bread. We were given a chic order in our disposal, a bright room (in which 5 people could fit with ease).
All the necessary set of comfort conditions. The essence is not in that comfortable or not comfortable, the case in relation to the owners to its guests. And that was at the height. Prices are quite adequate, no words. The only inconvenience was the absence of a TV. No, it was not necessary for us at all, I missed my child, for children just realize myself now.
And joint evening gatherings behind a glass of beautiful homemade wine so we liked, the child was in a burden. After all, it is even very high in the village of Nowhere. Only the beach, the sea and silence.
Food, as in any private sector of any resort, was organized independently. Normal summer kitchenette, with a gas stove (brown gas, imported), the necessary kitchen utensils. All that is needed. But we didn't bother themselves very cooking yourself, so when there are no time (at the request of the child) prepared a variety of cereals. Mostly tried local cuisine. Thanks to our owners, the child has always had fresh dairy products, did not even have previously ordered. In the evening I asked - in the morning everything on the table, fresh, appetizing and price not higher than in the local market. By the way to the market, it is in the center of the village (the only asphalt street), it is necessary to walk very early, at 11:00 there is nothing to do there. From the morning there is all - fresh fruits, the same dairy products, various vegetables, all kinds of seasonings. Very tasty honey (various species - mountain, eucalyptus, a bunch of cans with various "modifications").
Bought a real tea (and not ground brooms in bags), a variety of varieties of wines and chaqi, homemade brandy, tangerine juice, greens, sweets. That's just get married to buy meat on the market, if of course you are not a specialist. They can slip old veal, pouring to soak on the kebab (as we soaked the day, and it is still rigid).
Meat products can be bought in a bad store, in the package directly from the market. Prices are slightly "biting" to meat products, the remainder price is simply symbolic, especially for fruit. In the season, June-July at the local population of this good full gardens. The main thing is to have a dealer before.
The beaches of the village. Largely pebble. I recommend that you need to capture shoes with a solid sole or special shoes for swimming. Without her walk along a large pebble hurt, especially children.
In addition, the beaches are dirty, the child can step on the remains of food or fragments of beer bottles. With all due respect to the local population, they will destroy them. No one wants to work, especially the younger generation. Therefore, communal services in the village and does not "smell". All dirt, as well as from the "pigs" of holidaymakers and from local youth accumulates on the beaches. Really dirty. But the beaches are quite wide (meters 200 - there are still to litter) and quite extended (approximately 7 kilometers of continuous coastline). You can find a place that it is cleaner and spread the bedspread, more service well, there is simply no. I highly recommend to visit the wild beach under the name "White Rocks".
These stone education, something like local attractions. Cool, even in the most hot day. Resting on them is a pleasure, just should not go on them for the first time days of a beach holiday. Stones are really white, perfectly reflect the ultraviolet rays of the gentle sun - burn at the time. People there are practically no and the territory is much cleaner.
All major beach entertainment (koih little) are focused on the central part of the beach. There are local, young aborigines on water scooters chase simply on the heads of swimming, in the desire to earn. By the way, it is precisely next to the central part of the beach there is not a bad cafe, the portions are huge, the prices are acceptable, food is fully responding. More on vacation and do not need. The only thing I want to warn - do not try to buy any "yummy" from beach traders. If myself is not a pity, at least do not let children. And the last, drinking water. I advise you to buy bottled on the market, do not drink local, it will be very bad to pass the process of adaptation.
In general, a wonderful resort. Quiet, real family vacation.
