Good afternoon. I advise you to visit the New Athos caves. Beauty, that's all. We found a great guide with whom we can walk all day. I recommend buying tickets either the day before the visit, or going a little earlier than the ticket office opens, as there is a very long queue during the season. Accordingly, the queue is alive and some comrades do not observe it. It's better to take some clothes into the cave, since standing in the sun in the queue will be all wet, and it's 11 degrees in the cave. There is an option to catch a cold.

It was August 8, 2025. A beautiful place, fascinating. Entrance is paid 700 rubles / person. It is better to go in the morning, there is less queue at the checkout. I arrived at 9:15 a.m., there was a 5-minute queue, and the tour started at 9:40 a.m. It is open from 9 to 18. We took a small train inside, a group of about 50 people. The tour duration is 1 hour and 20 minutes. While people were moving from cave to cave, it was possible to take pictures without people. Before the list, you can pay for the opportunity to take photos and videos of 50 rubles., They give you a ticket, but no one asks for payment inside the caves. The views are unusual, it's cool +15, you can take a blanket before going down, 100 rubles. But it's also quite warm in shorts with a T-shirt with a hoodie on top. Souvenirs can be bought in the caves: pieces of stalactites/ stalagmites in jars for 500-700 rubles and on stands for 500, 700 and 1000 rubles.

A unique place and a must-visit! Before the tour, we were scared that it was cold and damp, but maybe because we are not southern people, the temperature was quite comfortable. Everything is very well organized and safe. You will be transported to the starting point of the tour, as well as after the end, on such a minimetro! There are steep descents and ascents in places, but everything is quite bearable. Kids of about five went through everything without tantrums. It's an atmospheric place. It fascinates with its beauty and can scare at the same time, but the guide assured that there are sensors throughout the area and if the rock starts to move, they will stop it. It turns out that concerts are also held in the cave. If I had known about this, I would have bought a ticket to the concert. There will be cool acoustics!
