We have been to Abkhazia many times, but it is so beautiful that we come again and again. We've been to the springs more than once.In December 2024, we went again. We drove our own car. For those who are driving their car for the first time, I want to tell you to get car insurance right away. They slow down on the road, because they don't see Abkhaz license plates. And don't exceed the speed limit. Yes, it sounds silly, but I know what I'm writing about. You can drive at the same speed as Abkhazia at 120 (as they usually drive there), but you will be slowed down at the checkpoint, not him, and they will also wave at each other. It's useless to argue with the locals. Yes, you will be signaled, "propped up", but believe me, it's worth it. By the way, the Abkhaz police themselves issue a fine, and they accept it themselves.I just wanted to warn you. Now specifically about Kyndyk.The road is not close. The entrance to the source itself is paid (I think no one is surprised, now everything in Abkhazia costs money). Previously, admission was free for those who would not swim - now you also have to pay. There are no amenities.At the entrance, you can buy something to eat, drink tea. Next, you need to go down and you will see 3 pools (as I will call them) with water of different temperatures. There is also a place on the territory where there are several benches on which water is pouring from above. You can sit or lie down on it.But it is unlikely that you will be able to sit on them for a long time. The water really "hits" from a height. There are time limits for taking such baths (both bathing in springs and "sitting" on a bench).Hydrogen sulfide, after all. There are also health restrictions. Be careful. The changing rooms (those under the canopy) were closed.All that remained was to change clothes on the street.By the way, things will have to be left on a hanger outside! There is no special landscaping. The on-site toilet also leaves much to be desired. You will have to pay for parking near the spring.But if, upon returning from the source, you want to see your car with the license plates of the Russian Federation in the same form, then it's worth it.
I would like to express my gratitude to Yulia Nalivaiko for a well-organized vacation. She was always in touch, answered any questions quickly. We had a rest in Abkhazia, in the "Black Sea Pearl", we were satisfied with the rest.
A really natural spring with hot water, which gushes from the ground and then from a small lake already flows into the pools through gutters and pipes. There are several pools with water of different temperatures on the territory. There is also a mud spring. After the procedures, there is really a feeling of lightness and in the future a positive effect from the source is felt, an increase in tone, a surge of strength, and an improvement in well-being. The price is very pleasant, low, there is Parking, cafes and shops nearby.
I visit this place 1-2 times a year.
The only thing I didn't like was that the changing rooms are located on the territory of the source, and the storage rooms for valuables are next to the cash register, but you can not go to the storage rooms in swimming trunks and swimsuits. Here is a man who has changed his clothes and wants to hand over valuables to the storage room, and there, at the exit from the source, in front of the storage rooms there is a sign "a fine for being in beach clothes of 6000 rubles". And what should I do? Do it humanly already, move the sign outside the ticket office to the entrance to the complex or move the storage rooms to the changing rooms!
