In hot weather, it is pleasant to walk along a shady path , there is a place for swimming in the river, a cool , delicious spring. The cave and the temple are atmospheric , salty places . In the temple, the minister will prompt and tell for the ignorant how to pray and ask St. Simon the Canaanite.

The place is picturesque. You can put candles, many people leave their icons, crosses, personal belongings. The path itself is not about both long, but very beautiful, it is better to wear comfortable shoes, we were in crocs. But here's a minus star for the toilet. The stench is simply not transferable! And the entrance to the territory is paid!

How good it is there, how blissful, I wanted to cry in the grotto cell.
I recommend a mandatory visit!

An ancient strong place, fused with nature and nourishes with the energy of the sky. In hot weather, it is better not to go, if there are health problems, there is a sharp climb up the stairs

Holy places, a well-groomed route, early in the morning you can walk without paying, having considered the station and waterfall without crowds, there is a cafe with very tasty coffee at the beginning of the trail, but it opens after 9:00

A very powerful place…
It's worth going through, even in the heat…
Pick up comfortable shoes, take with you a container for water, candles, and notes…
Christ is among us🙏🏻

A very beautiful landscaped path along the river to the grotto of Simeon the Canonite. As of June 2022, the entrance was paid, 200 rubles per person (maybe a little less, I may be mistaken). There is also a group tour if you want. The nature is beautiful here, at the very end of the way, in order to get to the grotto itself, you will have to overcome an ascent (approximately like on the 8-9 floor of a high-rise building).
We recommend you to visit if you are in New Athos, one of its best attractions for sure.

Hello, the general impression is a quiet horror. Religion is the opium of the people.The ticket price is 300 adults. 150 children.The nature itself is beautiful, there are no words, BUT to give 1350 for 2 adults and Children 13, 16 years old + 5 year old child. In short, it's just a walk in the park.....THAT'S IT! 17.06.2023
And parking is still paid...But I won't tell you how much yet

I highly recommend visiting for those who believe and need support. The path to the cave is incredibly beautiful. In the cave, you will be very lucky if you meet a local minister there, who has been reading a prayer service there every day for 20 years.

A place where a wounded soul is restored. I walked up the paths, breathing in the clean mountain air. The melody interrupted his thoughts. I thought I'd misheard. But no. Someone was playing the Lone Shepherd flute. Fascinated, I stopped to listen, tears running from my eyes. An indescribable feeling. Definitely worth a visit.

An interesting place. The path high up to the grotto itself is very narrow and rocky, difficult for elderly and obese people.

A beautiful place.
The only thing is to come here *prepared*, or at least read on the Internet about Simon the Canonite, one of the twelve closest apostles of Jesus Christ

There are very beautiful places around. The Grotto itself is rather unsettled and ascetic: actually, as it should be a grotto. It is quite easy to climb into the grotto; it may be due to the presence of a hollow in the shade of which you can easily hide from the scorching sun. Also, the Psyrtskha River flows along the bottom of the hollow, which gave the name of the station, which is located in front of the entrance to the reserve: contrary to popular opinion, the station is operational.
Not that it is very striking, but there is garbage at the entrance to the reserve, as well as on the rise. When choosing a place for a photo shoot, and there are a lot of them here, you involuntarily stumble upon all kinds of human footprints: not as good-looking as a Cananite foot. It is very depressing that even in such a beautiful place people find a place for their base qualities.
A place like this - rich in its nature, calm, where you can relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, listen to the murmur of water, rustling foliage, birdsong; more responsible management is needed. The protection, cleaning, maintenance and development of tourist infrastructure requires more experience and responsibility from the staff.

It's an amazing place. The gorge of the Ptsyrsha River leads very picturesquely to the grotto. Fabulous nature. Places of the Saint's sermons. The grotto itself has the strongest energy. The place is salted. I once sat for several hours at the foot of the grotto at the bottom of the cave. I recommend it to everyone. Take a tour.

After reading the old reviews, we decided to go to the grotto, see what is so interesting there. We were right there. Entrance is paid, on June 20, 2022 200 rubles per person, + 50 rubles (in a group of 10 people) for an excursion. A digression for the tour. To be honest, it is not worth it, although small, but generally its cost. It's very short and not interesting. The place itself is pleasant, but there is, to be honest, exactly the same nature as before entering there. There is nothing more religious than an imprint there. Like all the grottoes that you are advised to go through. Going up there, you will realize how much you have done all the way up the terrible stairs in vain. The conclusion is that there is nothing special, it is better to save money and buy souvenirs, or eat.

Entrance is 100p adult, excursion is 50p adult. Go along a mountain river (not wide), then along steep stone steps. It's interesting to take a walk and listen once.

One of the most interesting places in Abkhazia. One of the disciples of Christ lived here preaching to the Gentiles. The place is unique and I felt some kind of spiritual atmosphere. I recommend
