An atmospheric and salty place in fraternal Abkhazia.
It is quite wise that "Dear to the monastery
[Since May 15, 2011, the monastery has actually been a department of the non-canonical "Holy Metropolis of Abkhazia"] very heavy.
600 meters uphill, off-road."
I give 5 stars only because of the nature and beauty that once was. Unfortunately, the monastery is not well maintained, there has been no restoration inside the cathedral since the war
A sincere place, beautiful appearance, unusual interior decoration, although it may require restoration. The territory of the monastery is small and well maintained. It's nice to be there. The temple is impressive and fills with warmth.
It's a beautiful place. The territory is large and beautiful. But I was very sorry for the skinny screaming kitten on the territory of the monastery. Please, who will visit, take him a piece of food or a bag of food, it's a pity for the baby. It is strange that none of the servants feed him, he is very thin and hungry.
A very beautiful and majestic temple, where the service is still held, we were lucky and we got to it. Candles were bought at the entrance to the arch there is a church store, they do not sell in the temple itself.
A solemn holy place. Well, everything is a little different from in Russia, but I liked it. We put candles, prayed, bought an icon in the car and souvenirs for friends!
A lot of tourists come every day. There is only a toilet with two booths nearby, there is a huge queue there. It is necessary to consider the facilities for tourists
It is very beautiful, it is a pity that it is being destroyed, I would like it to be restored. There is a direct feeling of peace and beautiful views, a must-visit.
We were passing through there, very interesting interior. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail in terms of the fact that long skirts are tied at the entrance and handkerchiefs are put on the head. It is very convenient, you do not need to look for what to get where and how to get through.
I recommend you to visit!
The beautiful territory of the monastery, the opportunity to put candles, pray.
The presence of a large number of tourists does not interfere.
Nicely
Painting is interesting
The abbots do not obey the Moscow Patriarchate or the Georgian Patriarchate, but only themselves in one word, schismatics
The money that they collect could not only be stuffed into their pockets, but would be spent on restoring icons and frescoes
It's a pity such a good place
The atmosphere in the monastery is very good, but everything is so neglected there that I would like to wish them to restore this place as soon as possible.
A majestic temple, a sacred place.
The temple requires serious restoration (restoration work is underway in some places), but this does not detract from its beauty in any way. The frescoes and mosaics are simply amazing.
There are fantastic views from the observation deck.
He struck me with his power and a sense of prayer. Of course, there are a lot of things to do there. I would really like it to be restored and preserved in the end
A very beautiful place, the view of the sea and mountains is stunning, the courtyard and the village of New Athos itself is probably the most civilized place in terms of infrastructure for tourists, a cool embankment and promedam, many decent cafes, mobile communication offices, Sberbank, a summer cinema, I liked it much more than Gagra and Sukhum
A very spiritual place . Calm and sincere. The monastery is located in a beautiful location and stands proudly above the sea surface. The spirituality of this place and the beautiful nature leave an indelible impression and peace of mind!
Beautiful, calm at heart, majestic, a place of power. Restoration may be required, but this is at the discretion of the ministers.Everything around the monastery is cleaned and clean. The impression is ambiguous, but to come again is definitely Yes.
Visited in October 24. You can only see sabor, the rest is not for visiting. Sabor itself is grandiose. But the state he is in leaves a very sad impression. It shouldn't be like this. Abkhazians are your heritage, how can you treat such beauty like that? Sorry.
One of the must-see places in New Athos. The beauty inside the temple is breathtaking! The atmosphere of mystery and ancient frescoes will impress anyone
A very beautiful ancient temple. Magnificent icons. There was a service during the visit. They sang beautifully in the choir. There is an icon on the wall: a donkey, wherever you go. He's watching you.😃
The most beautiful place of the soul. You need to come here without excursions, groups and guides to have time to enjoy these views. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the temple itself, because it was a sanitary day, but I'm sure everything is great there and inside. A place that inspires and really feels incredible spiritual lightness after visiting
We still need to look for such a place.The monastery impresses with its beauty and grandeur.Inside, you can sit and think on the benches, put candles on.There are ancient icons on the walls.You come out with emotions, refreshed.From the walls of the monastery there is a beautiful view of the sea and the surrounding area.There are retail outlets with local delicacies around the monastery.
It is worth seeing, and visiting at least once, a very beautiful place, you can buy Christian paraphernalia (candles, icons, Books).
The service is available in three languages.
I am not a monastery walker, but in general I have a positive impression, the market nearby does not spoil the view much. It is beautifully visible inside that it has not been restored for a long time, but it is kept clean.
The monastery was impressive. Very neat. Ancient icons...However, there are a lot of tourists. At the entrance, aprons are given to both women and men whose knees are not covered. You can buy and put candles, for which prices start from 20 rubles. There is a church shop.
This is a very beautiful place, fascinating, the most important thing is peace. You go there and you change your outlook on life. Well, in principle, everything else is also so great. Everything is fine. You can put a candle on a little problem with the Internet, But if someone has tariffs, then I think there will be no problems.
It's something with something! History and vibe in one place! For the soul and spirit, as well as for the content))) the atmosphere is at 5, there is a small minus of this toilet on the street(
At the entrance, handkerchiefs are given to girls and skirts for everyone with shorts above the knees. A place with a rich history. There is a parking lot. Everything is equipped for tourists.
I was in 2012, it was very beautiful, my impression has no end, how many years have passed and I can't forget this beauty, the monastery itself is also very beautiful, I recommend everyone to visit this place.
It is not a difficult climb, there are souvenir shops along the way, the view opens to the sea and the city, they offer their things if they are not dressed correctly to visit the monastery
This is the New Athos Monastery! Despite the appearance of the buildings, the place is magnificent, grandiose! What magnificent murals in the temple! The whole flow of tourists, the crowd clamoring to the gates, instantly subsides in the temple. The grandeur of the place is simply overwhelming.
A historical place. beautiful monastery, view. but parking is not organized there, cars are abandoned as they want, no one thinks about others. There is often one car for 2 parking spaces.. and others have nowhere to stand((
The Panteleimon Cathedral of the monastery is magnificent, its walls and domes are painted with frescoes of extraordinary beauty from the inside. Staying there, you are filled with the energy of beauty, goodness and peace. I highly recommend visiting!
The internal state of the monastery is very sad, unfortunately it is not being put in order, it is not being restored. At the entrance, the men who handle the human flows do not seem to realize where they are. They are quite rude and brusque.
A beautiful place, overlooking the sea. It smells old. You can take a walk and take beautiful photos. Magnolias were blooming, I really liked them. We didn't go inside, so I don't know what's in there.
The place is wonderful. What Orthodox Christians from the ROC need to know: this is not the ROC. Before the Abkhazian-Georgian war, the church belonged to the Georgian Orthodox, after that it separated and is now independent.
To be honest, I was not impressed, I saw it many times from higher points and it is of course very beautiful, but inside the restoration is very slow, after all, such objects need to be constantly looked after
The beauty of the ancient frescoes for reading prayers penetrates to the depths of the soul. We visited there at the end of October and were very impressed!
This is a very beautiful, ancient place, a monastery, I highly recommend visiting, which is the most interesting thing, even the paintings on the walls of those times have been preserved there. And the monastery itself is very beautiful both inside and out, Monday is a day off!!!
I just don't have the words. As soon as I entered the temple, tears ran from my eyes. It's very beautiful, the acoustics are amazing. I really liked it.
Climbing uphill, in the heat, of course, is hard. But it's worth it. You look at the paintings of the temple, at this beauty, and you want to linger, "absorb" it into yourself. The place is salted. And the views from the hill are gorgeous.
