The cave - grotto of Simon Kananita is located on an elevation near the Psyrtskha River. According to legend, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, Simon the Zealot (or Cananite), lived in this place. He is revered as an educator of Abkhazia, who worked hard to spread Christian teaching and preaching. Initially, it was the cell in which Simon Kananit lived. Later it became a chapel. There are many different icons on its walls, among which the most revered is the image of Simon the Cananite, made of mosaics. Visitors to the cave can pray, read the akathist, talk to the caretaker and get comfort and answers to their questions. According to your faith, you will be rewarded!

Beautiful nature all around. Everything is green.
In the cell itself, one feels that the place is salted, bright, and clean.
It was hard to get up in the heat.
Some dipped into the spring. But the water seemed icy to me. I didn't risk such temperature fluctuations.

This is a very beautiful park, firstly, the air is amazing, the silence and the singing of birds. And a holy place for believers, secondly. When you reach the cell of Simon the Canaanite, you first wonder how it was possible to live here alone? And then an understanding of why the apostle chose such a place.. I advise you to definitely visit here

After you have arrived at New Athos, take the time to visit the Monastery of Simon the Canonite, and then on the way you will go up to the Grotto (rather a cave) on the path there will be a trace of Simon the Canonite on the stone, Then the place where he was killed (there in the stream everyone collects pebbles with red inclusions it is believed that this is the frozen blood of Simon the Canonite). And then there will be the Grotto of Simon the Canonite, carefully climb the steps they are very steep in the grotto itself it is very stuffy (because of the candles), it is dark and there is little space. There is a very picturesque nature all around while you visit spiritual values. I recommend that you go there and you won't regret it.

A wonderful place, only a truly religious person can appreciate it.A feeling of delight and awe covers when you get to the grotto after overcoming 200 steps, because one of the apostles Simon Kaninit (Zealot) lived there, and nature is simply amazing!!!!
