How to get in Abkhazia
The one viable land crossing into Abkhazia is from Sochi in Russia. Rumours say that it might be possible to travel from Georgia to Abkhazia but not vice versa in some occasions so it is not the standard and requires sound preparation. It is practically impossible to gain access to Abkhazia anywhere else along the border, as it is guarded by Russian Border Guards, who detain anyone trying to cross.
A water border crossing point in Gagra was opened in 2011 (see below)
Visitors who go to Georgia after visiting Abkhazia through Russia may be subject to a punishment and fines by Georgian customs since they consider it a violation of the Georgian border regime. Georgian Law on the occupied territories also prohibits visitors from entering Abkhazia without permission from Georgian authorities.
