Since its launch in May this year, the train has been steadily increasing its passenger traffic. Statistics show a steady monthly increase: from fourteen thousand in May to almost thirty-five thousand passengers in August. This route has become a real discovery for tourists who prefer comfortable travel without border queues.

The key advantage of "Dioskuria" is the unique border control service right in the carriages, which saves travelers from long stops. The route connects the Imeretinsky resort with Sukhum and Gagra, making stops in the main tourist centers - from Tsandripsh to New Athos. A convenient schedule with morning and evening departures allows you to optimally plan your travel time.

The availability of tickets 45 days in advance through Russian Railways digital services and traditional ticket offices makes travel as affordable as possible. The steady growth in the popularity of the route confirms its demand and indicates prospects for the development of rail tourism in this area.
