A very beautiful place, but in poor condition. We saw a couple of workers who were trying to paint. If you have enough resources to put everything in order, it will be great!
An amazing and mysterious place!
If you go to Abkhazia, then you must visit New Athos! Build a route to the abandoned station, through the Sights that are within walking distance.
A beautiful platform in New Athos!!!! Its architecture is amazing, because it was built in 1944. There are 7 terminal stars on the floor and 8 triangles on the ceiling
The sights are the most valuable thing a tourist can see. Everything, absolutely everything is steeped in history, everyone has their own imprints of time and tradition
In November 2023, repairs were continued. Just at the beginning of the month, it was possible to see the pavilion, now it has been tightened with a restoration grid.
How has it not just collapsed yet??
The train station and platforms welcome guests!
And all the railway stations and platforms of Abkhazia are just ruins! Of course, this does not add beauty, to put it mildly)
Fabulous experiences!! The feeling of unreality, especially when you see this place for the first time and if there is almost no one around!! A must-visit!!!
The place is atmospheric, not far from the monastery of Mount Athos. It is a pity that there is little information and somehow it is hard to believe that the pavilion was built in the 44th year (who needed it, during the war). Nearby are some ruins of the 19th century, a dam and a hydroelectric power station from the early 20th century. As a bonus, you can walk to the monastic cell along the picturesque bed of the mountain river.
A very beautiful place, I thought for a long time that this road was no longer working. But it turned out that the Moscow-Sukhum train runs along these rails.
It is very unusual and beautiful.. you can even say it's cozy :) History, nature.. The impression is spoiled only by the unreasonably high price tag for walking along the path to the grotto of Simon the Canonite. This is a holy place! It's a sin to sell tickets to him.
In my opinion, this railway does not work, the rails are very rusty. But the tunnel under the hill looks amazing and there is a lake at the back. I liked.
And cool-beautiful and at the same time sad
It's sad that the government doesn't care about cultural values
It feels like the city and everything connected with it are becoming a thing of the past
A beautiful place that leads further into the park, if you have a camera and your hands will read from the right place, then you can take entourage photos.

The place is beautiful, but everything is abandoned, the ponds are in disrepair. Nothing is being done all over Abkhazia, everyone is just making money and not investing it anywhere
It is mandatory to visit. According to the photo reviews,,well, well, it's cool, it's not clear why to go,,. But live. We were on a sunny day when there were a lot of tourists and a girl was playing inside on some mysterious instrument made of glass tubes (and with this music in the background it was very reminiscent of the Syberia game). We drove 2 times on the way to another place when it was raining - no tourists, only the sound of rain.
The place is beautiful, it becomes a shame for the country (USSR) that built all this and now everything is in ruins. One hydroelectric power station, which the locals now call the waterfall, is worth it
It's a sad place, repairs have just begun, everything is abandoned, the platform is not functioning. Be on the way to Simon's cave. It brings sadness and despondency
A magnificent, atmospheric place. The architecture of Abkhazia is simply amazing. I really wanted to get here and didn't regret it. It's just a pity that it is in such a deplorable state.
I love Abkhazia! I love Gagra very much. It's always interesting to go backwards and forwards. How much architecture is abandoned. Even though many objects have been forgotten, they still surprise with their elegance and elaboration. There is a lot of greenery, the sea is clean! The prices are pleasing.
Repairs have begun, maybe they will do it, the pond would be cleaned and the paths repaired, and it is dirty below after the waterfall, we could prepare for the season.
