A grandiose natural structure, huge caves, vaults, shocked by age and antiquity, transitions are very well arranged inside, the guide shows interesting moments with a laser pointer and illumination. How nature created all this and how long it took!! And we just came to look at the bugs in the moment..

Recently, my family and I visited the New Athos Cave in Abkhazia. I was here as a child and was pleasantly surprised that the cave retained its former appearance and atmosphere. The cave impresses with its scale and natural beauty. It became a real adventure for the children – they enthusiastically looked at stalactites and stalagmites, listened to the guide's stories about the formation of the cave. The tour was well organized, the route was thought out so that everyone could feel like an explorer.
One of the main advantages of this place is its immutability. The cave looks the same as I remember it from my childhood, which made me feel nostalgic. This is a great place for family holidays and educational excursions. I recommend everyone to visit this amazing place and immerse themselves in the mysterious underground world of the New Athos cave!

I really enjoyed the tour. The cave is impressive in scale. It is said that the impressions of childhood differ greatly from the perception of an adult. I really wanted to make sure of this. But the delight experienced in childhood is no different from my current delight!

It is very exciting and wonderful to be in such a place! Fantastic! It's stunningly beautiful in the cave! There are swans, ducks, ostriches, peacocks in the park, and there is something to see.

It's a great place. I was in the Kungur ice cave, there is something to compare it with. The guide is competent. I liked everything! You go inside by train, then walk through 6 halls. Back by train too

To be in Abkhazia and not see the New Athos Cave with its underground lakes and stalactites is nonsense! I have a huge impression for the rest of my life! I recommend it, you will be satisfied!

An amazing tour, how many caves and grottos have been visited before - this one will be remembered. The first is an amazing guide: her good literate story with a wonderful voice (unfortunately, they did not remember the name). Secondly, I really liked that there is a musical accompaniment from ethnics to Bach, and the last 2.5 years just flew by in this underground kingdom of time. I advise you definitely!!!!

The big cave, I liked the bridge the most, the minus for me personally is a lot of people, the guide broadcasts into the microphone, there is not the coziness that happens in small caves. It's worth a look, at least in order to compare, and feel like a little man

The food is cool. I recommend. The tour guide or the guide left some strange feelings. The woman behaved like the owner of this cave, who does not want to be seen by tourists. And in general, it should be closed for people to visit.

The New Athonite cave is something extraordinary. I really liked the tour, the guide told me interesting things, the whole route was accompanied by organ music, mysteriously beautiful and fascinating. Each hall is majestically beautiful in its own way, a lot of photos and videos were taken. But do not forget to buy a ticket for video and photo shooting, otherwise you will be fined😉

An atmospheric and impressive place.
In the beginning it was terribly scary, and then terribly beautiful!
The temperature inside the cave is acceptable, it was comfortable in a shirt and shorts.
I advise you to visit!

× Tickets are quickly disassembled, as a rule, the waiting time takes 1.5 hours
× Take warm clothes with you for about 10-15 minutes. There is a plaid rental, but I advise you to prepare
× Be prepared for the fact that there are a lot of people, they gather a full group, about 40-50 people.
× Photo payment is at your discretion. Personally, I regretted it - everything was photographed without restrictions, the payment was not checked.
× On-site toilet is paid, 10p

The caves themselves are, of course, magnificent. The organization sometimes limps, waiting a long time for its time to enter. The guide turns on the backlight only when he tells you about all the values and volumes from the encyclopedia. The music is a little off-topic ... In general, it is much better to present this miracle of nature to visitors.

A big beautiful cave, definitely worth a visit.
As for me, it's still worth going with an excursion, since you can stand for hours for tickets and go early in the morning right from the opening. In the cave you can buy souvenirs in the form of ancient debugs, but for some reason you can't take pictures of them, so I doubt it in terms of legality, but who stops it)

An exciting excursion that began already while on the train leading to the cave.
There are a lot of people, but there is enough space for everyone.
The caves themselves are great, but you need to dress warmer, I'm a little cold because at first you sweat a lot in the waiting room, and when you enter the caves you're all wet and it's easy to get sick.
Seeing amazing, they amaze with their power and at the same time with a feeling of incredible peace.

The cave is 2 million years old. Which is amazing in itself. The lake has an unusual color, unusual bizarre crystals of different types and colors. I recommend you to visit.

An interesting place. You are taken to the cave by a small train resembling a subway, which is very unusual. Among the disadvantages, there is a long queue for tickets, low organization of access control, large tour groups are allowed to pass out of turn. A very large number of people are launched at a time, about 100-150, which causes inconvenience and crowding inside the cave. In general, the caves are equipped very well, there are several observation decks, and the pedestrian bridge is fascinating with its height and length. In the cave, you can buy pieces of stalagmites, though at an exorbitant price. The guide gets five points for diction and the ability to convey the history of the cave. The tour itself lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes, it is not very cold in the cave, about 14 degrees, but I recommend warming up. The jacket can be rented both at the entrance and at the nearby market, the price is 100 rubles.

It is fascinating in its scale
The route is interesting, the guides give you the opportunity to enjoy the beauty on your own and listen to their stories.
The only thing is that there is a queue at the entrance, taking into account organized groups that buy tickets for a certain time

An interesting place. The visit to the cave is organized. After buying a ticket, we go through and get on a train with small closed wagons - like a subway, only a small one. When the train fills up, the doors close and the electric train starts moving, we go deep into the cave. Upon arrival, everyone gets off, the train leaves, and the tourists are picked up by a guide with a microphone, the tour begins. It's an amazing place. The scale is fascinating. The guide does not let you relax. Everything is organized. The whole group goes from site to site along the passages, where the guide carries away interesting facts and explanations. At the end of the tour, go back to the small train and goodbye.
I liked it very much.
The only remark, for everyone's information, is that when you buy tickets for an excursion, there is a tent nearby, where it says on a poster "50 rubles for video and photography permission", Many people paid, we did not. When the tour began, the guide said that video and photography are allowed, it is forbidden to shout and push, be polite to each other. In short, no one understood why those who wanted to take 50 rubles at the entrance. On the other hand, it's good that it's not 500.

A wonderful place, I highly recommend visiting, the beauty is fabulous! It's a pretty long walk, but it's not as cool as everyone talks about it - almost everyone in our group wore T-shirts like that. Those who are cool were given something light, but few people. There is a constant temperature of +14, but there is no wind, not even a whiff, but there is humidity. And the views are amazing!

Of course, it is interesting to walk around the cave, but 700 rubles for admission, even for children, is too much. There is a paid parking nearby for 200 rubles. In fact, you can park in any part of New Athos for free, everything is within walking distance. since the train to the cave runs at a certain interval, and tickets are sold for a specific time, you will have to wait. We waited 2 hours. The tour inside is for nothing, there is more information on the cave's website.

We've been trying to buy tickets for a very long time. Tickets are sold for large tour groups. For vacationers on their own, tickets are sold on a residual basis. You need to take a sweater with you. In the cave +19. The guide is in a hurry-I didn't like it. The cave itself is impressive in its gigantic size. Cool "Martian" backgrounds for photos and videos. The ticket for the photo shoot was bought for cheap, but no one checked them. If your camera does not shoot well in the dark, you will not be able to do any photo shoots here. It is well equipped for moving excursions (railings, observation decks). Suitable for small children and the elderly.

This is one of the places in Abkhazia that you definitely need to visit. You don't even have to go to Rizza, dotted with tourists, catamarans and cafes, but you need to go to the cave. The scale is breathtaking.

Well done, a good cave, put on stream! Let's go in the morning so that we don't fly over with tickets! from the bottom to the mountain taxi 200-300r (it's bad that tickets are only at the box office, groups are suitable and they are given tickets, and ordinary people without a group, what will they get ...), it's cold + 14 in the cave itself, it's not necessary to take things with you, blankets are given at the entrance at the turnstile for 150r, or for rent -There are jackets in the shop upstairs
From the cave itself, you can go down to the bottom of 150 meters , there is a tunnel nearby, go directly to the station and a beautiful lake with a waterfall

A tourist place that has conquered! Despite the visit at the height of the season and the frightening length of the queue at first glance, it took 30-40 minutes to buy tickets and go on the tour. The guide was interested in both adults and a five-year-old child, and the beauties that the caves themselves give have multiplied at times! And there is so appropriate symphonic music, which is turned on when visiting one of the caves!

The place is mandatory to visit. The scale is amazing. And the tour is interesting. You can't take beautiful photos because it's dark, but it's definitely worth seeing with your own eyes. And as a nice bonus, it's very cool in it.
Unfortunately, tickets can only be purchased upon arrival and cannot be purchased in advance.
