Visiting both Abkhazia and Georgia
score:5
Accepted answer
This is absolutely untrue.
The ONLY legal way to enter occupied territories is to enter Georgia first through official checkpoint, and then visit Abkhazia or, God forbid, South Ossetia through, again, official Georgian temporary checkpoint. My Czech friend did this last year and had no problems whatsoever.
But if you have Abkhazian stamp from Psou or any of their sea checkpoints, you will have trouble with Georgian border guards and police whenever you enter Georgia from ANY, even official checkpoint.

I doubt that you'd have problems, provided you don't do anything suspicious. I've lived in Georgia all my life and have yet to hear of anyone, especially a tourist, being caught for that. Having said that, you should definitely be on your guard in Abkhazia. Although a place of untold beauty and definitely worth a visit, it's a militarized territory with non-authorized armed mercenaries freely roaming.
