It’s no secret that at Regent Holidays we like to do things a little differently.

When it comes to exploring the world, it’s the off-the-beaten-track destinations that catch our eye. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be a country. Some of our most intriguing destinations are the breakaway-states; regions that have declared independence but aren’t yet formally recognised as a country. Our Pioneering Abkhazia Group Tour introduces curious travellers to Abkhazia.

This 14 day tour  is a complete package from the UK, and spends 8 nights in Abkhazia. We will access Abkhazia via Georgia, and include time in Georgia at the beginning/end of the trip. Departing the UK we will fly to Tbilisi on the indirect service with Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul). After two night in Tbilisi we will travel to Zugdidi before heading to the frontier and entering Abkhazia on day 4 of the tour. Once in Abkhazia we will tour the country in detail, spending nights in the capital, Sokhumi, the second city of Gagra as well as in the lesser city of Novy Athon. This itinerary will strive to include as much variety as possible—giving the visitor an understanding of Abkhazia’s past, present and future, together with an insight into the culture and cuisine of the country. We will also strive to get off the beaten track to take in the incredible scenery of Abkhazia, with visits to remote settlements and mountain areas. After exploring the country we will return to Georgia for final nights in both Kutaisi and Tbilisi before flying back to the UK, once more with Turkish Airlines.

This varied itinerary has been crafted to give the visitor an understanding of Abkhazia’s past, present and future, whilst also exploring the remote scenery, culture and cuisine of the country.
