Moscow- Sukhum, Abkhazia Direct By Train
Today, July 29, 2011 it became possible to travel from Moscow directly to Sukhum by train. Tickets are available for purchase in Moscow, Gagra, Gudauta and Sukhum. Trains will operate daily from today until October 18 when a new schedule will take effect.
This is a significant step and comes in the wake of repairs that were done to the rail line in Abkhazia earlier this year. The rail link will make it easier for travelers who previously had to stop at Adler and go from there on to the border and seek transportation to their destination in Abkhazia.
The opening of passenger service together with the announcement of the removation of Sukhum's airport by Novaport show that Abkhazia's transportation links are improving quickly.
