By car
Motorists, as a rule, choose a car as their transportation. Such a trip is optimal for those who are ready to spend about a day on the road and spend an impressive amount on gasoline. The starting point of departure is Moscow or St. Petersburg. Departing from the Russian capital, you will take the M 4 highway, after which you will cross Sochi and Adler.
Next, you will drive up to the village of Vesely, where the border checkpoint is located. During the high summer season, a significant number of cars accumulate at the border, so be prepared for a long wait.
After passing the border, you should put the car on temporary registration, and then keep to the southeast highway. Separately, it should be noted that the road from the village of Vesely to Gudauta is straight, and you do not need to turn off to other highways.
After driving 65 kilometers along a flat highway, you will see the suburban buildings of Gudauta, and then drive up to the fork with the sign "Lykhny". At this point you need to turn left and continue on your way.

Going on a trip by car, do not forget to take into account some of the nuances:
- unpaid fines in Russia may be the reason why you will not be allowed across the border;
- the Russian policy for the car will not be valid on the territory of Abkhazia, so the customs officers will offer you to issue a new one;
- medical insurance is required when crossing the border;
- be sure to prepare all documents for the vehicle.
Russian citizens do not need a visa and a passport to enter Abkhazia.
