Gali District, Administrative district in southern Abkhazia
Gali District is an administrative region in southern Abkhazia with agricultural lands and settlements scattered across the territory. The area has a mix of flat and rolling terrain with roads connecting communities, and the town of Gali serves as its administrative hub.
The area was larger in its original form until 1995, when portions of territory were separated to create new administrative divisions. This reorganization shaped the district into its current configuration.
The local population speaks Mingrelian and maintains traditions that shape daily life in the region. Visitors encounter people whose families have lived here for generations and whose customs are visible in how they use the community.
The district is connected to nearby regions through roads, making it accessible by car for exploring the area. Visitors should expect basic services in smaller settlements and plan ahead, as facilities can be limited outside the main town.
The region is known for diverse farming that includes tea plantations, citrus orchards, and hazelnut groves spread across the land. These crops thrive in the local climate and form a visible part of how the territory is used.
