Is Sukhum safe for solo female travelers?

Sukhum is moderately safe with friendly locals and a less active nightlife which reduces the risk of potential undesirable incidents. However, it is in a breakaway region (Abkhazia) from Georgia with occasional political tensions. It is important to stay updated on local news. At the same time, language barriers could be an issue as English isn't widely spoken. Therefore, it is advisable to learn a few local phrases, follow local customs, and not venture alone at night to ensure personal safety.
