Gulripshi

Gulripshi (Georgian: გულრიფში, [ˈɡuɫɾipʰʃi] ; Abkhaz: Гәылрыҧшь, Gwylryphsh; Russian: Гульрыпш, Gulrypsh) is an urban settlement in Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia. It is located 12 km from Sokhumi, and is the capital of Gulripshi District.

Nikolay Smetskoy built three sanatoria in Gulripshi between 1902 and 1913 for patients with pulmonary diseases and founded several parks with subtropical plants. After the Russian Revolution, the sanatoria were nationalised.

In 1991, Gulripshi contained several educational and research facilities, including kindergartens, secondary general education schools, and a music school. It also hosted the Sokhumi Experimental Station of Subtropical Cultures and the Abkhazian Plant Protection Experimental Station.

Gulripshi has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cfa), characterized by warm winters and hot summers. The town averages 2,100 hours of sunlight annually. Sea breezes typically soften the summer heat, though temperature extremes of 41°C and −12°C have been recorded.
