I liked it, atmospheric, unusual, I really liked the acoustic music. There are difficulties with acquiring tickets, it is necessary to arrive early, preferably before the opening, because tourists buy tickets in bulk.

A must-visit, very beautiful and energizing place. Created by nature itself over the centuries. Almost everywhere you can walk with a baby stroller, I regretted that I did not take it. I had to carry my youngest son in my arms for 3 years. The eldest sons of 7 and 9 years old liked it very much. The guide at each stop tells the story of the discovery of the cave and its features.

The caves are amazing in their size. The description and photos do not convey the grandeur of this place. It's really worth a visit. The guide tells stories related to caves and is ready to answer questions.
When visiting, it is worth considering that the temperature inside the caves is much lower than outside - a down jacket is certainly not needed, but a warm windbreaker or hoodie will not hurt. Although at the entrance they rent something like a plaid, warm enough.
It is better to pay more attention to shoes - in addition to being cool in caves, it is also quite damp, and in some places water just flows. As a result, it is slippery in places, so it is better not to go there in flip-flops. Ideally, sports sandals or sneakers.

A truly unique place where you can feel like a real caver. Very beautiful halls, an interesting tour. I advise you to take a jacket with you, as it is quite cool in the cave.

It's a very interesting place. Equipped passageways, several halls. The mini-train takes you deep into the mountain, then a guide meets you and guides you through the cave, as well as the train takes you back. There is a queue for tickets

The smallest metro station, already worth a look))). I'm just not a fan of cave walking, but this one is worth it. It's huge, even very much!!! Especially as it was opened by a 19-year-old kid, I wouldn't climb like him!)))

It's a cool cave. Of course, transportation to the depths of the cave will seem a little creepy at first, but at the same time it sets you up for excitement. The tour itself is no longer than 1 hour. Moving at a brisk pace, with stops in each new cave. The lighting turns on/off as you progress. You can't get there without an excursion.

Super! You definitely need to come and see this miracle with your own eyes. The excursion to the sounds of national music is very tasty and impressive. It is important to listen to your guide and not make a mess. The halls are simply amazing!

Everyone should visit it at least once, the journey begins on a steam train, a very interesting excursion, the volumes are impressive, this is the largest cave in the world, keep in mind that in the season the wait can be 4 hours or more, since tour buses book tickets if you use paid parking on your transport, there are many interesting places in the circle so That there will be no boring waiting

I really liked the cave. An interesting tour, the beauty is extraordinary. It was interesting for both adults and children. I advise you to buy tickets in advance or calculate the time of the trip, as we were unable to purchase a ticket for the tour at the time we arrived. I had to wait 2 hours before the next tour.

Love from the first time and forever.
The first time was in 2006.
The tour took place on wooden platforms.
Now iron bridges and platforms have been welded along the entire route. The tour is very informative. We noted for ourselves that previously there were only crustaceans and microorganisms in the caves. In 2024, we met woodlouse grass growing on the rocks. The microclimate of the cave is changing... It is mandatory for all guests of Abkhazia to visit. The prices are adequate.

It is a very interesting place, the first time I was in caves of this scale. The tour took an hour and a half, I thought it would get boring. But no, everything goes pretty fast. Walking a lot and often on wet steps, the elderly and people with sore feet should think about visiting. There is nothing extreme, but keep in mind. We had 3 elderly women in our group - they really suffered

We arrived in August 2024 to visit the Novo-Athos cave, the tour itself is all well and interesting, but there is nowhere to park the car. Local thugs are collecting money, indicating where to stand, there are no officially designated parking spots, visitors cannot get up on the side of the road, only locals can. We left the cave at about 16.30 these so-called parking guards were no longer there, the people did not come in the evening, there was no one to take money from, and the parking workers were gone. To get into the cave, you need to stand in a huge queue, here again there is a local fellow who has access to the ticket office and sells tickets 1.5 times more expensive to those who want to buy a ticket without waiting in line. The feeling is somehow visited in the 90s, lawlessness is flourishing.

We had a rest in mid-July in New Athos and of course could not help but visit such a place as the New Athos Cave. It is better to look at the schedule of the cave on their website, as the schedule changes seasonally. The cost of the visit is 700 rubles for an adult ticket. We rented a plaid for two for 100 rubles and did not regret it. It's +13 degrees in the cave. While we were standing in line, and it was not a big one, everyone's backs became wet from the stuffiness and heat, so when we arrived at the cave by train in three cars, the blanket saved us from a cold. A cheerful guide met us inside, telling us the story of the cave's origin and various interesting facts. The duration of the tour is 1.5 hours. We liked it, it turned out beautiful photos.

One of the new wonders of the world! It's an amazing place.! During the visit, you feel like all the heroes of adventure books at once. The guide explained the difference between stalactites, stalagmites and stalagnates in an accessible way.

A very beautiful cave impresses with its size and beauty! But there are also disadvantages, this is the smell inside the cave and it is better to put on a blouse coolly, although at the entrance you can rent a plaid for only 100 rubles. It is better to come in the first half of the day, otherwise you may not get there because of the excursions a lot of people are going to see.

We visited the cave in August 2024, we really liked it - the narration, musical accompaniment, lighting 👍 1.5 hours flew by quickly. The only recommendation is to buy a ticket in advance, it is very long in summer, you can stand in the heat for 30 minutes and buy a ticket for the tour, which will be in 2 hours.

A magical place! When you see this beauty for the first time, the music with the local accent (and just the original sound of the choir of voices) really makes an indelible impression! And, in general, in the midst of a hot day, this tour is simply necessary both for the skin and culturally - for the soul! I recommend it!

I liked the cave very much, it was extraordinary. Huge vaults, in the depths of the lake, several halls. But first you need to buy a ticket, we arrived in the morning, stood in line for about 30 minutes. The car was put in the parking lot for 200 rubles. A subway-like train is taking you to the cave. Ten trailers with 10 seats. Our train was 15 minutes late and then we were hurried the whole tour. But it didn't spoil the impression. I recommend you to visit!

The cave is mandatory to visit, it leaves a lot of positive emotions. Some rooms are just -wow!
It is better to take a jacket or a thin jacket with you, inside 14 °.
In summer, the queues at the ticket office are long, we waited an hour.
It's better to come here for the opening.
And the most ideal option is to climb the Anakopia fortress at 5-6 am, and then immediately visit the cave, we descended from Anakopia around 10 am, there were almost no people.

Awesome place
The tour takes an hour and a half. Very interesting. Starting from the subway car leading into the cave, to the "waterfall" in the last hall. The musical and lighting accompaniment is very appropriate!!!
The scale is impressive!
Definitely need to visit!!!

Without a doubt, one of the best places in Abkhazia. Be sure to visit all tourists, you will not regret it. We have been here twice and both are delighted! Especially when you plunge into the mysterious coolness of these caves from the heat of the street. I won't describe it, as they say - it's better to see it once!

Abkhazia is, I think, the best place to relax, we were in this year 2024 and in September, we lived in New Athos, where there are wonderful places, including the New Athos cave.So words cannot describe this cave. This is a very beautiful place, you need to visit it.

One of the best caves I've ever seen. It is very long, spacious halls, there are underground lakes, stalactites, etc. One of the disadvantages is the extreme stuffiness on the train that takes visitors to the cave, due to the large number of groups if you come in high season.

07.09.23 arrived at 11:40, queue for 10 minutes, entered the cave at 12:20
The cave itself is striking in its scale. Polite staff. A pleasant guide and an interesting tour.
It is comfortable and safe to be in the cave. There is a lot of illumination, which competently emphasizes the beauty of the cave.
We parked below the cave, at 11:30 there was a lot of space.
The entrance ticket is 700rubles, it's not a pity at all! 10₽ toilet ))

It's just a one-time entertainment. It is better to plan in advance, as you can stand in line for tickets for several hours. Representatives of tour companies book and buy almost all tickets and offer to buy tickets more expensive for those who are already tired of standing in line. The ticket costs 700 rubles, and these smoke breaks are offered for 1000 and, in order to go to the cave as soon as possible, many agree. It's gloomy in the cave itself, so that oh, it really doesn't hurt. They take you to the place of the excursion in subway cars, but in hard and old ones. It's boring without a guide at all, but they won't let you in without one. One goes in front, the second closes. There is a crowd of 50 or 70 people walking along the trail. Swimming in the sea in a New Background was much more pleasant...

Feel like a caver.
It was in 2024.
There are no words to describe it -

The metro, the only one in Abkhazia for 2024, will take you to the Cave.....

I've been there several times, and every time it's like the first time. It is very interesting to take the subway first, then walk among the frozen stone faces painted by nature, walk across a real bridge like in Tolkien's novels, see an underground lake, stalactites and stalagmites. I definitely recommend you to visit

Dear guests of Abkhazia, tourists, tourists!!!First of all, welcome to the land of the soul, where everyone is welcome, where you can get a lot of impressions, take unforgettable emotions with you, share what you have taken with your family and friends. Abkhazia is amazing, beautiful, and unique.I would like you to take away the warmest memories with you when you leave us, be happy to rest, and wish to return here more than once. It is important to be both attentive and careful ... I would like to draw your attention to a few points and give a small recommendation… Coming for the first time, get acquainted with the place, get advice from those who have been, know more, already have experience.There is a lot of information today thanks to the Internet, a lot of correct answers to questions. This is all so that there will be no outrage and disappointment…Caves are not only mysterious objects that attract attention, it is a difficult and special route, you need to be prepared for it. Before purchasing a ticket (it is non-refundable, because it passes control), you need to clearly understand whether you, your child, parents, are ready to stay in a confined space for 1 hour and 20 minutes, walk along wet tracks 1.5 km. where it is necessary to rise and fall, where it is dim and the air temperature is +13-14 degrees, where it is necessary to go keeping up with the group where there are no toilets, where it is damp and sometimes wet , slippery??? The tour time is limited, the train delivers and takes out according to schedule, you will be rushed, time flies quickly underground.It is not easy to satisfy all desires in one visit, you must decide what you need more, listen, watch or take pictures.The temperature difference with the surface is 20-25 degrees, keep warm, especially if you have children with you.The souvenirs that are offered to you in the cave itself are not ’steaming" - this is the best way to save the cave from those who, wishing to take away a piece of beauty as a souvenir, pluck and chip away. The method that is practiced all over the world, it has justified itself. The cave is in great demand in the summer, it is difficult to get there, but it is possible if you take into account several points.First of all (without waiting in line), travel agencies serve, they book time in advance, these are the main applications for which the caves work, the remaining places go on sale. Remember: travel agencies do not work on Monday, there are fewer of them on Friday, these days are unloading, so you can get in without problems, the ticket offices are open from 08:30…The cave impresses with its size and beautiful formations, a tour of its halls will not leave anyone indifferent.The amount spent on this tour is fully justified, the permission for photo shooting is 50 rubles. Also not beyond the limit . I would like to wish you all to see more beautiful, bright, bright, not to pay attention to the little things, not to find fault with the meager.We are all human beings, we all love to hear pleasant words, we are glad to see smiling faces, we appreciate a kind attitude. Let's be friends, show patience and respect for each other! Enjoy your stay! ❤️🙌🏻 Your guide of the New Athos cave is Agrba Laura 🙌

We've been here twice, in the beginning
In the 2000s, and in 2023! Everything has become much more functional! The organization of the space inside and outside is excellent!
Amazing and monumental! The guide's magnificent, literarily and informatively rich language!
And, of course, the caves themselves!
Fabulously beautiful!
It's magical and wonderful!
Perhaps the main attraction of these places!
Thank you Abkhazia! Everything is very emotional!)))

I've wanted to see this cave since I was a kid. The place is very atmospheric. You go inside and find yourself at a subway station. Then you ride a mini-train, and only then you find yourself in the cave itself. Well, there all the power and beauty of nature defies description.
Tourist advice: arrive early or book your tickets in advance. There are a lot of people who want to. We had to wait an hour and a half for our turn.

The cave itself is very beautiful , BUT the organization is zero , the maximum number of people is crammed into one session , there is not enough space in the trailer , there is a crowd along the route , there is not enough space for everyone on the observation island , the organizers are trying to squeeze and make the most of it

The place is gorgeous! NO maintenance and NO service! We were there for the first time in 2011, then in 2017, so it was much better then. To purchase tickets, you need to stand in an hour-long queue. Apparently, ticket sales terminals are not installed specifically because of travel agencies that buy tickets without waiting in line, and some of the so-called travel agents (their own) they are immediately resold at the end of the queue for 1,500 rubles, with a ticket price of 700 rubles. The waiting hall is stuffy, there are sooooo many people and the hanging three fans absolutely cannot cope with cooling the open room. Turnstiles are installed at the entrance, which could be used to enter using electronic tickets purchased online, but they are disabled. In short, I will say this, if someone from the leadership of Abkhazia sees this review, please put things in order in this place to match the level of a tourist place. For example, we will definitely not take any of our friends there anymore, because the horror that must be overcome to get into the cave does not even compensate for the sheer scale and beauty of this cave. By the way, about toilets... Don't leave them here, it's better to go to the dining room opposite.

The service is terrible, they use what was built back in the Soviet Union, the entrance fee is 700 rubles per person, parking is 200 rubles. The cash register is closed (the bag is standing, there is no cashier) and we waited for an hour. The money is in cash only, there is an ATM, but there is no money in it. There's no price list or receipts for parking. Some halls are closed to visitors. The train that takes you to the cave is battered, dirty, and the seats are torn off.

A good tour and the views are impressive for those who have never seen caves. Those who know a little about geology will like it. The children are not happy, they say the most boring things for them. By the way, you don't have to pay 50 rubles for a shooting permit, no one checks anything and no one needs it, absolutely everyone takes pictures.

Not impressed! A cave is like a cave. A boorish granny is sitting at the ticket check. She snorted at every other person. For them, this is the norm of such communication. To take photos in the cave itself on your phone, you need to take an additional ticket for 50 rubles, the availability of which no one checks. As a result, someone took, and someone did not take this ticket, and everyone was shooting without exception.

A wonderful place, the Abkhazians did well to arrange everything in a cave, the place is large-scale, fascinating, in which caves I was, I did not observe such beauty! I advise you to visit. Tickets are sold at the box office for an hour and a half in advance. Therefore, either by excursions and by the appointed time, or buy tickets yourself and go for a walk to the waterfall or monastery
