Nearby there is a suspension bridge over the Bzyb River and a Blue Lake. Each place is interesting in its own way and will definitely not leave you indifferent. • We will have lunch at the national restaurant. Most local dishes are based on beans, cheeses, corn flour, lettuce leaves and smoked meat. Abkhazians are very fond of a variety of spices and spices. • A few more places that you can't pass by are the waterfalls of women's and men's tears, the panorama of the Ricin park-reserve "Goodbye Motherland" and that very small island of Switzerland — Lake Ritsa. • Everyone can take a catamaran ride on the lake (extra charge).
