Both, at least in the city. It's a pariah state near Russia, close to Sochi, but not so expensive. Sometimes tourists who can't go to Sochi go to the Abkhaz capital. I've never actually been, but I always really wanted to go; unfortunately, having a Russian or American visa is probably the best way in. And mine is Swiss, so I'm not in luck.

It's pretty. I don't know if that's a selling point for you or not.
