A gorgeous and beautiful place. For the second time this year, my wife and I climbed there, very steep views open from a height. There is an inexhaustible well near the tower, you can always refresh yourself and drink water, but the mechanism of "extraction" of water would need to be upgraded - for some reason the pipe is tied to a bucket, it is not very convenient to get it, it is easier when just a chain. The recommendation to everyone is to put on sneakers for going there, do not kill your feet in slippers and slates and your sandals (for madame). The climb is quite steep in places, especially at the beginning of the journey, but it's worth it, the whole New Athos is in the palm of your hand from above

It's a very atmospheric place.
For those who want to see an overview of the entire New Athos- the maximum recommendation.
From the recommendations :
• it is best to allocate at least 5-6 hours to this place, and that's why: From the payment post (the cost is 300 rubles for adults, for children (we have preschoolers) for free - the path is 1200 meters along the road strictly up. Many may not be ready for this. Those who plan to walk all the way from below - another plus, probably the same amount.
• stock up on plenty of water, especially if the sun is scorching (in our case). You can replenish the water balance at the top when you get to the fortress. There is a spring there.
• for motorists, there may not be enough places. Be prepared to park along a rocky cliff or as close to the rocks as possible, as the road is very narrow. If you are an insecure motorist, be prepared for such a turn of events))

An ancient fortress near New Athos. An interesting location with cool views. It is better to take a taxi to the gate. You can walk, but it's very hard. Only good shoes, better not in the heat. From the gate (ticket office) hiking along stone roads. The views are gorgeous. You can climb the tower, collect special water from the cistern, look into the ruined temple. Take the time to visit.
