Although, only a few countries actually recognize it as a country, Russia being one of those places. The area itself is around 8665 km. The capital is Sukhumi, which is the largest city in Abkhazia.

Abkhazia is a rather obscure and unheard of place. It has gone through many battles and extreme circumstances which cause it to be a lesser known place for tourism. But, conflicts there are mostly resolved and the country itself is beautiful. Its most notable feature is its nature and geography. The beautiful scenery is accented by abandoned, explorable, buildings left behind to decay into the wildlife.
