не ездите туда !!! don't go there!!!

People, do not throw away money, who have absolutely nowhere to go - it's better to sit in your country house than there.
three minuses -
1. Abkhazia
2. Pitsunda
3. Literary fund
In order - Abkhazia - it is necessary to demand from our government to introduce a mandatory visa regime for entry and exit. For those who stupidly applied for a visa, and oblige consuls to explain within a 40-minute interview what this former Soviet of Deputies is like with devastation, dirt and eternal whining of gloomy Abkhazians that Russia does not give them money (for what to give them if no one wants to work and is not going to work). The prices for everything are still higher than in Moscow, all products are Sochi-Krasnodar-Ukrainian, everything has been launched....in general, the same village, the only difference is that palm trees are also growing.

Pitsunda is a village, it seems that there are 100-150 people alive, after 1.00 almost everything is closed, the reason is that it’s not the season, no one comes anyway, no one buys anything, why keep the shops open. Locals rub against large boarding houses, trying to get acquainted with visitors in order to drag them to their private sector. Around the cows, horses, which are not driven even at night, and at night these animals can lie right on the road. Of their vegetables - only radishes and parsley with cilantro, tomatoes-cucumbers - only imported from Krasnodar, there seem to be no vegetable gardens there at all, well, how about it - you need to take care of it, but what kind of "normal" Abkhaz will bend over once again, they independent... There is nowhere to go at all - no walks, no clubs, even cafes, almost all are closed - not the season))) (in May).
The Literary Fund - the room is still so-so, they clean it cleanly, they even managed to keep the parquet "a la Khrushchev" in the rooms. Respect to the Donetsk manufactory, the towels are good - they wash them thoroughly, even traces of some kind of powder are visible everywhere. It can be seen that they know how to wash, but they have not yet learned how to rinse clothes. Armavir - make better toilet paper, otherwise the Literary Fund will be dishonored because of you. The food - obviously, is adjusted to our unfortunate blockade grandmothers, who go there due to the fact that this state partially pays them - so that they do not have an extra heart attack from the onset of capitalism, they (well, everyone else) will be treated with barley barley, familiar to the blockade porridge, pearl barley, chicken stomachs and bones with scraps of meat. The main difference is that they give plenty of bread and buns. Thank you for not hanging on grams - probably, this is in their understanding of the "buffet".
Their security was especially "gifted" - I had a case when for THREE HOURS from 2 a. m. to 5 a. m. three Abkhazians, local drunk employees, stood under the windows and yelled such obscenities that their ears were bent, but the administration did not care - the local guard was simply afraid to disperse them, and then in the morning, when they began to walk around and complain about the night noise, local women were on duty near the director's office, took people aside and persuaded them not to go to complain - like the security guard would be fired, but where else would he find a job. Of course, their drunken neighbor in the village is more important to them than guests. In addition, all the personal passport data that you provide at the reception become known to any outsider if you wish - I was personally told about me by everyone to an outsider whom we met in Gagra, he jokingly promised to come to visit us at the Literary Fund, while we told him they didn’t even give their names, we just live in the Literary Fund. What a surprise it was when he really came to the Literary Fund, but he didn’t just stumble upon us, but he came up, already knowing what city we were from, room number and full name..... Horror.
There was devastation on the territory of the hotel, in May they just came to their senses and on the 20th (they had a check from their superiors), they began to burn last year's leaves and branches on the beach, people with children were sunbathing there. Local "horse breeders" walk on the beach on their horses - you yourself understand what remains on the beach after their walks. The maids (6th and 8th floors) rub local wine - they bring it from home, they sell it to our grandmothers. In addition to the usual excursions, the hanging around local Abkhazians also impose a sea cruise on their cars to Ritsa, Gagra, (it is clear that all this money is put in their pocket with a kickback to the leadership of the Literary Fund), and they stick more actively to those who are in Abkhazia for the first time , is also lost and is ready to get to Gagra for 600 rubles.

Hungry dogs walk around, the locals beat them, yell at them, all this in front of the children who are trying to play with them. . .
The guides are banal, a summary of any where you go: the length of the Pitsunda pine needles is 20-25 cm, the mountains are made of karst rock, the population of Abkhazia is 210.000 people, and there is no production, because Russia does not help them in any way and arranges an economic blockade. Everyone whines, the last Abkhaz believes that Russia owes them something, and if we don’t like something, then they cannot give us something, because they themselves lack funding. When you ask how much money they need to remove the terrible withered leaves in the park of the Prince of Oldenburg or tighten 2 nuts on the stairs to the pool so that it does not stagger, they blink their eyes and give out the last argument "and we had a war" (15 years ago, who does not know - 92-93gg)....
There is no animation in May, on the 27th a girl and a guy arrived - instead of animation they arranged a patriotic concert with Abkhaz songs and 1 dance... a la “how I love Abkhazia”, which, against the general background of devastation and hungry stray dogs, would look comical if it wasn't so sad. . .
In general, mostly Sochi residents go there - they have an hour of travel time by car - and swim on a cleaner beach than theirs in the city, and Krasnodar residents - they have 5 hours by train with children - and also the sea and the beach. Who cares - go ahead,
and who is ready to pay 2.000 per day for everything + 6.000 for an air ticket, or spend two days on a train -....don't be the same fools as we are - go to Lazarevskoye, Tuapse, etc. at least you won't chew other people's snot with problems.
And if someone has already been to Turkey-Egypt-Tunisia - don’t go at all, it’s too bitter a striking contrast, then it’s very insulting for your hard-earned money.
