A very beautiful, ancient place, quite sparsely populated, which is comfortable to visit, unforgettable views from a height, no camera will convey such a picture, only a living human gaze! To individual visitors: no one needs your inscriptions on an ancient engraving, it is not worth spoiling, and there are so few such places left.
It's just a magical place. If you are in Abkhazia, I recommend you to visit. There is no transferable atmosphere here. The temple is being restored now, as far as finances allow. Soon there will be a dome here, but for now it is being made. I come here every time I come to Abkhazia. I do not recommend going without a guide or a tour guide. Since the roads are bad, so as not to get lost. And you can't do without the history of the place. A wonderful guy Roman will meet you on the spot, at least I always meet him there.
It's very beautiful, if you eat yourself, then take into account 2 times the navigator leads the wrong way, we read it, and missed it, but very, very in vain))
With a small u-shaped fork, you need to drive along a concrete slab, in short you will see concrete slabs on the road, you are there, it is not critical, in principle, the dead end is not far away, but it is very unpleasant to turn around, narrow and creepy))
And most importantly, when you are in the village in front of the temple, do not turn into the first turn, the navigator leads so that there is a road into a hill with cobblestones at 45 degrees, you do not need to go there, there is no passage and you will not reach the cathedral on foot, although you can see it, the next turn is needed with a temple sign, the entrance is absolutely comfortable
Pay special attention to the second warning, otherwise, a lot of gradual time and testing of the car are provided for you)
