Description
Abkhazia is a region located on the eastern coast of the Black Sea, recognized as a part of Georgia.

The region is known for its picturesque landscapes, including mountains, forests, and a warm climate, which contribute to its appeal as a tourist destination. The capital city, Sukhumi, serves as the administrative center and is notable for its unique blend of cultural influences, historical remnants, and natural beauty.
Abkhazia's population is diverse, with ethnic Abkhaz, Georgians, and other groups coexisting. The area has faced significant challenges following conflicts in the early 1990s, leading to displacement and ongoing disputes over its political status. Efforts for reconciliation and development continue, but the situation remains complex.
