Gagra, Coastal resort town in Abkhazia, Georgia

Situated along the Black Sea coast for 5 kilometers, Gagra extends at the base of the Caucasus Mountains in a subtropical climate zone.

The settlement originated as a Greek colony named Triglite in the kingdom of Colchis before becoming part of the Roman Empire under the name Nitica.

The release of the 1985 film 'Winter Evening in Gagra' highlighted the significance of this location during the Soviet period as a cultural destination.

The town contains medical facilities and sanatoriums that utilize the local climate for therapeutic treatments throughout the year.

The ruins of Abaata Fortress from the 4th century and the Prince of Oldenburg palace display the architectural evolution across different historical periods.
