Holidays in Abkhazia. So whether it's budget, as is commonly believed?

It's No secret that many Russians due to a number of reasons for trying in recent turbulent times much to save. It concerns different spheres of everyday life, including planning vacations. To completely abandon a beach holiday most of us are not ready, so a change direction - those who used to lie in summer on the beaches of the far abroad began to shift attention to domestic tourism, particularly on the native Black sea. And even though holidays in Abkhazia formally refers to international tourism, a number of factors (lack of bureaucratic delays at the border crossing, the use of the natives of the Russian language, historical factor, in the end) much brings the Country to domestic destinations.

In the minds of many compatriots of Abkhazia has long been associated with the delightful nature and relative cheapness. If nature is more or less clear - it's really beautiful, that's about cheapness is not so simple. But with this and try to understand.

It is Obvious that the main factor affecting the "output" costs is the cost of living in your chosen location. Abkhazia offers the visitor a wide range of housing. This vocational subjects of hospitality (various hotels, hotels and resorts), and different variations of guest accommodation in the private sector (bed-places, rooms, houses, apartments, rooms in guest houses etc.). In turn, the cost of accommodation as in hotels and in the private sector also varies and depends by and large on the same parameters, such as the concept of accommodation, living conditions, location of hotel (apartment) regarding the sea, resort infrastructure and so on (quite a lot).

And here begins the most interesting. The relatively low cost of living in the place of "no power" implies a necessary appearance in the budget of the relevant expenditure. Yes, in the hot season the choice of restaurants in Abkhazia is great, and the tourists have the opportunity to pick up something adequate for the size of the average check, but first- this is not for each locality, and secondly, even if every day to eat out somewhere in a cafe with reasonable prices, it is still during the holiday "eat" by a decent amount (add to this the obligatory snacks and liquids at the beach, on a walk, etc.).

Another important point is travel around the country. The fact that Abkhazia is in any case impossible to sit bezvylazno entire vacation around the location, otherwise the final impression of the rest will almost certainly be damaged if not completely, then certainly heavily oiled. In addition, the use throughout the country of the Russian language allows holidaymakers to take a self-guided tour outing, that is without recourse to the travel Desk. Well, since sites Apsny (both natural and man-made) in excess, familiarity with them will also make tourist to get a purse.

So for example it is a real situation: today in Abkhazia there are new luxury hotels, the rate at which (together with the cost of flights from Moscow to Sochi and back) equals the cost of a stay in a Turkish or Egyptian "five". The concept of placing them, in principle, allows the vacationer not to think about the possible upcoming costs of food, inasmuch as it (food) is included in a sufficient quantity and assortment. You can, of course, to hang out at the local cafes and restaurants, but more out of curiosity than hunger.

But tours of the status of the Abkhaz in the price, of course, not included (at least in the right quantity).  In the end, the final total cost of the holiday the tourist will certainly go beyond the cost of the Turkish and Egyptian "fives" and strive to value those "fives", but Spanish or Greek.

The conclusion from the foregoing you can probably do the following: "budget" to go on vacation in Abkhazia following categories of travelers:

• Not giving much importance to the living conditions (in Abkhazia really can be very cheap to rent a house, not quite fit for a comfortable stay. And there is a lot of tourists to have a close eye on the frequent absence of water, the inconvenient location of the house, overcrowding and other negative - if only "zanedorogo" to plunge into the wonderful Abkhazian nature)
• Experienced travelers in the Country of the Soul, this category is well versed in all the intricacies of the recreation in Abkhazia - they generally already know when and where you go, hence pre-plan your routes and actions. They know all the places where you can inexpensively eat or buy food, they have acquired connections, allowing beneficial (if not almost free) to rent a house or a place to sleep. Such skills and knowledge come, of course, only with experience. Including with others - these people communicate with each other not only during his visits to Apsny, but at home, using relevant Internet sites (e.g. this one Forum on holiday in Abkhazia)
• This can include residents of the nearby regions of Russia (the cost of their stay in Abkhazia will be lower (ceteris paribus) due to the relatively low travel costs. Residents, by the way, actively using this advantage, often arriving in a neighboring country just for the weekend.

In fact compare the cost of holidays in Abkhaziawith vacation in foreign countries is possible only with a high degree of conditionality, as to compare itself Abkhazia with other beach destinations is not quite correct. There is a view that the rest, say, in Turkey and holidays in Abkhazia - the two are totally different in terms of the event. And there is a very clear and objective reasons... But this is a subject already other articles.
