The fortress of Anakopia is in the process of restoration. A very atmospheric historical place with beautiful views from the tower. The hike is gentle but long, about 40 minutes at a slow pace. It's quite hot on sunny summer days. There is an ancient temple and an inexhaustible well with delicious water at the top of the mountain in the fortress. The tower has been restored, and there is a good staircase inside to the observation deck. You can order a guide at the ticket counter below, which makes climbing interesting and easy.

We visited the ancient Anakopian fortress on the mountain in New Athos. We climbed the road leading around the mountain and admired the beautiful views of the sea and the city in the lower reaches of the mountain. The observation deck on the tower, at the top of the ancient church, where you can put candles and make a wish that will surely come true. A wonderful place with a history that fascinates and enchants nature. You won't regret visiting!

I want to climb this fortress every time we come to Abkhazia! The climb is not very difficult, about 40 minutes, and it rewards us with magnificent views of the Novoafonskaya embankment with its sights - the monastery, the Ptsyrkha station, etc. In addition, after a walk uphill, on a hot day, at the foot of the fortress, next to an ancient temple, a miracle awaited us-a holy spring, a well from which any traveler can drink. The water is clean and delicious. The most amazing thing is how did she end up on top of the mountain?! And we were carrying bottles with us, we didn't need them.
