Features of thermal springs in Abkhazia
Most of the Abkhazian thermal springs are hydrogen sulfide: they are used to normalize pressure, activate metabolic processes and respiratory function, as well as treat people suffering from neuroses, insomnia, diseases of the skin, heart and blood vessels.
In general, the territory of Abkhazia is “inhabited” by thermal sources of different temperature regimes and chemical composition. If you are interested in achieving the maximum therapeutic effect, you must undergo a course of procedures (10-15 sessions). But in any case, you will be able to feel the improvement already from the first session.
If you are planning to undergo a course of procedures, it makes sense for you to stay in those settlements where Abkhazian thermal springs are located, however, there may be no entertainment there, and the tourism industry may be underdeveloped.
The recommended time to visit the springs in the summer is evening, when there is no heat. As for the specific months, October and November are best suited for bathing in thermal water. A visit to the springs is paid - about 150 rubles (there are no time limits).
Kyndyg village
Kyndyg
Finding the Kyndygsky hot spring is not difficult. If you move along the Sukhumi-Ochamchira highway, you will be able to find a geyser near the village of Kyndyg. + 100-110-degree water with hydrogen sulphide enters the hot tub through 12 troughs, due to which it is cooled to + 35-40˚C. First of all, you should pamper yourself with natural hydromassage (falling water jets will have such an effect), then apply healing mud on the body (reservoirs filled with healing mud are located nearby), and then swim in one of the pools with a comfortable bathing temperature.
Those who want to heal joints, diseases of the female genital area, psoriasis, neurodermatitis and other skin ailments flock here.
Do you want to be closer to interesting sights and entertainment, and visit the source once? Take a closer look at the private sector in Sukhumi: they will help you organize a trip to the source and other objects (the price of the issue is about 500 rubles).

The source (its outlet water has a temperature of about + 47˚C, the content of hydrogen sulfide is 1.9 mg / l) of this village (7 km away from Novy Afon) is not in the "wild", like the previous one - next to it was built a spa with fountains, hot showers, a large pool (accommodates 10-15 people) and two smaller pools (each of them is designed for a group of 6 people; the water in the pools has a temperature of + 35-36˚C), as well as a massage department, cafes, rooms for rest and living.
Treatment with hydrogen sulfide water (intended for drinking and bathing) of the village of Primorskoye is prescribed for those who have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, skin, urinary-genital area, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular systems.

- all procedures are prescribed only after a medical consultation;
- after the accepted mud treatment procedures, you can visit the equipped shower cabins;
- the best time to visit the spring and the sanatorium is from April to June and from the end of September to November.
Gagra
Thanks to the available hydrogen sulphide source, a balneological hospital was built in Gagra.

River Besletka
River Besletka
Several wells were drilled not far from Sukhumi, on the Besletka River. The water temperature is from + 33˚C (well # 1) to +41.6˚C (well # 6). Reception of the local "jacuzzi" is indicated for those who wish to heal the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, stomach and heart.
Tkvarcheli
The outskirts of Tkvarcheli are interesting for travelers for the outlets of thermal-radioactive radon waters (their temperature is + 34-38˚C). The use of these waters is indicated for the treatment of disorders of the nervous system and diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
