If not for 5 stars, then how else? In addition to the fashionable phrases "atmospheric place" and "cool", there is a feeling of goodness and purity, a feeling of air. There are a lot of people in and out of season. Stalin's dacha is nearby. The monastery has many merchants of various souvenirs, wine, gifts of Abkhazia. If you go the other way, go around the ionaster on the left, then you can take a steep descent to the waterfall and the hydroelectric power station at the Psyrtskha railway platform. Or follow the signs to get to the lower station of the cable car. But as for the buildings of the monastery, there is peace and quiet. 2 cats in a beautiful courtyard between the central church and the gate... And at the gate you can buy candles, rent a skirt and a handkerchief. The chipped painting has been partially restored. There are excellent shops, like in Catholic churches. And a high, high vault.

In addition to the view of the beauty of the ancient monastery, you can admire the view of the sea and the city, from a height everything is clearly visible, you can also walk from the monastery to the waterfalls, well, this is for walking enthusiasts, if age or health does not allow you, then it is better by car, since climbing back straight down the hill is a bit difficult for sedentary people.

We have been traveling to Abkhazia for many years, and we always stay in new Athos. We go in late autumn, the end of October-November. The views of nature and the beauty of the monastery are fascinating! There are a lot of thematic images in the monastery, the birth of the Virgin Mary, her introduction to the temple, the birth of Jesus, his baptism and crucifixion, the last judgment, in general, the whole biblical story on the walls of the temple. There are many images of saints, Panteleimon, Faith, Hope, Love, Nina, Tatiana, St. Nicholas, Lazarus and many others to whom you can pray here, breaking away from the hustle and worldly problems. There are wooden chairs and benches in the hall where you can sit down and think about your life. To pray. You can put candles on. Here you will be given free kerchiefs to cover your head and apron-shaped skirts for easy fixation. There is a church shop where you can buy icons, candles, a cross or rings.
