I'll give you 5 stars. But I'll just warn you in advance, do not go there with small children, and only with a swimsuit, and special shoes for swimming, so that you can get into the water and not be barefoot on the rocks.
We arrived by car right at the entrance. Parking was free, and then there was a wet and dirty (because it was after the rain) descent down a steep staircase. There is a rope descent to the boilers themselves. From above, there were some puddles, but from below everything is more picturesque. Then we went towards the gorge, two girls were walking in front of us, who were able to go further in swimsuits, but we were convinced by their example that we would not pass there...since the water was up to their shoulders. So they left...Without really looking at anything
To get from the development 20 minutes on foot, after visiting it is better to go straight home, the legs fall off. We were in a non-wet period, so we were able to climb. You can 't climb much into the deep water there
I didn't like it. For August 2022, they ask 200 rubles for admission. A child under 7 years old is free of charge. To the cashier's question, "what will we see there?" She replied that she had not been there (it is clear that she was lying). She said that everyone bathes in cauldrons and comes out happy.
After paying for 2 adults and a child of 11 years old, 600 rubles had to go down very steep steps to get to the gorge with boilers. The descent into the boilers involves unsafe climbing on a rope. The water is dirty.
No one is warned about this, just to take the money. The wife and daughter eventually just went down to look and came back.
The group that came after us was disappointed to tell us that last year the water was turquoise and a river flowed.
They would take 100 rubles per person, it would be fair, 200 rubles is not worth it. I really don't recommend this place
In the Chernihiv gorge, they took 400 rubles for three, and the place is many times better.
I've been there twice, in June and November, and I'm both disappointed. There is little water, in the summer the frog croaked in the first boiler, the second one is filled. Descent down very steep steps and then on ropes. By November, the ropes no longer inspired confidence in me. Plus, it's the coolness of the gorge after the hot summer sun. In general, if you have already looked at everything in New Athos, and there is still time, then you can go. The entrance in 2022 was 300 rubles, it is unclear why....

A wonderful place, we walked to it, about forty minutes from the lower sign, it's worth it, because incredible views open along the way) well, the "three boilers" themselves are a sight to behold! If you are in Athos, you must definitely visit it!
Visited the place by car on November 7, 2023. We freely passed through the turnstile, there was no one at the entrance to the booth. We went down the steps and saw that everything was flooded. There is no passage
We were in winter. My husband even took a dip in the "baths of youth". I can imagine how beautiful it is here in summer. We will definitely come back! I want to stay young for a long time!
The place is quite picturesque, but there is a big BUT. For an entrance fee of 200 rubles per adult, absolutely nothing has been done for visitors. Descending the stairs is quite dangerous because of the slippery steps that are poorly cleaned from the ground. To the second boiler, located below, you need to go down two old car cables!, somewhere in places torn and tied together!, along a steep slippery cliff! There are no safety ropes, no railings. One wrong movement or slipping of the foot can easily cause a traumatic brain injury with all the ensuing consequences. None of the accompanying or guarding persons are on site, so there will be no help from where. So, if you can't go down the extreme path, then you will find a small river in the thicket and that's it.
The place to buy is good, the water is refreshing, but the entrance fee per person is 200 rubles, it does not matter whether a child or an adult, which is clearly not worth it. The railings are made as if they took materials from the construction site and generally from improvised materials, there were seven of us, we talked to the woman at the ticket counter and the ticket prices were reduced by half, but she spoke rudely to us. There is a cafe, but we did not go there. You can swim in only two boilers. The rope could be replaced. In general, the place for bathing is a cot, but the entrance price is too high. If you jump into the second cauldron, then be careful, even children can reach the bottom with their feet:_)
In general, I love holidays in Abkhazia very much, but this place is just amazing. A mountain river, a green canyon, small waterfalls - all this can be seen in Three cauldrons. Admission is 150 rubles, but it's worth it, you won't regret it. There is also a cafe where barbecue is very tasty. Prices don't bite)
A very unusual place👍I advise you to visit and swim )the only thing that left unpleasant is a stall or booth at the entrance where the entrance fee is charged to the territory, she is 200 rubles per person,a woman seller, took coffee from her, it is very tasty, praised us cognac (500 rubles 0.5) we took with us, upon arrival home after vacation we decided as they say over dinner cognac drink it , and it 's just diluted with water!!!Yes, so it's about 50/50 !!!!be vigilant if you buy something, try it right there from the container in which you were poured!
Just two holes in the mountains that are filled with water.You have to stand in line to get in there and swim.The road by car is very bad.It's better to walk.
Wasted time. There is no beauty and convenience of movement. You can't go down to the third cauldron. The road through the gorge is absolutely not suitable for the unprepared
If you go in the summer when there is a drought, there are zero impressions. The descents are not organized, they are not safe. But they won't forget to charge you for the entrance. I do not recommend visiting especially in summer.
Many people write that the entrance to the three boilers is paid. But you can also walk there for free, because there is also an entrance on the other side of the gorge. There is no need to go to the monastery. You need to turn left earlier. Get to the concrete bridge and follow it to the right. The same beauty, but for free. Go ahead. You can take a car to the bridge.
It's not a big place, but it's a very picturesque place, which is located in the mountains. There is both a walking (long) route, and you can get there by taxi. In this place you will see three small boilers and a mountain river surrounded by mountains. There is a cafe on the territory, but judging by other reviews, it is not recommended to eat there, but there is a huge, adult eagle on the territory. It's worth seeing!
The place itself is interesting - beautiful, mysterious, fabulous) BUT the entrance is paid during the season! at the same time, absolutely nothing has been landscaped - no paths, no stairs. all movements are at your own risk. to get to the second cauldron is only by bungee rope... there is no passage to the third boiler at all. You can't really see him.

It's a beautiful place. It's a little hard to get there, but it's worth it. Good-natured women who have delicious wine and excellent adjika.
A very steep canyon of a mountain river with 3 holes (boilers) 2 in access, 1 barely visible... You can swim in the boilers, clean, mountain river water, perfectly refreshes in the heat and heat, the only thing is not very convenient to go down there, but it's worth doing it!
This is something unreal! Firstly, a small number of people manage to get here, which is why it is not crowded, secondly, the cleanest water, the gorge, the coolness (after a long climb), the opportunity to splash their feet on cool water, and who is more daring even to swim in the same cauldrons. I personally only got to the 2nd, I didn't understand how to get to the 3rd, but I looked at it from above, from the second. There is also a green canyon trail there, for the brave and courageous, you need to climb a lot, keep your eyes open and be careful. Prepare your sneakers for a hike or a jeep for an ascent and go ahead! I definitely recommend it!
I tried to visit this beautiful place on 07.10.2021. It's probably not the season... It was not possible to go down further than the first steps, there are slippery stones and (or) mud everywhere.
The walk took 15 minutes, of which 10 minutes washed off the dirt in the purest stream😆
If it's just not the season, so why not warn about it before taking the same 150 rubles? I'd rather use this money to buy food for cats and dogs.
Who came up with this, it is necessary to invest at least something from every 150 rubles in safety and accessibility of this beauty.
All I found from the safety equipment was the inscription "not sure if you can climb? Don't come down."
Regarding the beauty (judging by what we managed to see) - visit the canyon of the Beshenki River near Tuapse. It's a little more beautiful there and (compared to 3 boilers) it's clear what the entrance fee is for
I am so disappointed with the organization that even if the weather is right, I will not go here
A beautiful place, for the first time I see such an unusual relief of the riverbed - boilers. It is remembered. Futuristic. It resembles nature from the movie Avatar.
A beautiful picturesque place! One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. We were here 06.06.2021. The weather is cloudy, but it turned out to swim and visit one of the boilers, which cannot be bypassed, just swim across.
The descent into the gorge is quite steep, although it is equipped with handrails, but you still need to be extremely careful, the foot can go "at once". Therefore, comfortable shoes for mountain walks are highly recommended.
Because of the rain, they did not dare to visit the "Green Canyon". In order to get to it, steps are provided in a stone sheer wall and a rope with knots as an auxiliary tool. We left this part of the attraction for the next time and for drier weather.
Part of the road from the New Athos cave to the parking lot at the beginning of the descent into the gorge is rocky and unpaved and quite impassable. I would not recommend trying to overcome the route in cloudy weather on low-clearance four-wheel drive vehicles.
A wonderful, picturesque place!!! Lots of greenery and a pond... To the third "boiler") we went down the rope and climbed up from it as well. I advise everyone to visit.
It's beautiful as nature, but the descent to these boilers is dangerous and slippery, let's say I was in the New Year, there's nothing to do there, especially 200 rubles for admission is definitely not worth it
In early June, the river flows in a small stream, there are no waterfalls in sight. The path along the canyon is 200 meters, no more. At the same time, you have to climb the rope in several places, because it is not equipped in any way, and the ropes themselves look unreliable and shabby. The entrance is 200 rubles, it is not clear why.
We drove far along the cliff and off-road, we reached the place, but the entrance fee is 300 rubles, they said it was beautiful there, but to buy up you need to go down the rope then climb up... We decided not to go there with the child for the sake of 2 photos..
Three boilers were never seen since they were with the children already in late autumn. And there, after descending to the river, you need to cross it in several places. But even before reaching 3 boilers, the views there are so beautiful that words cannot describe. What can't be said about when you arrive at the parking lot. There is an old boot in which a woman sits and collects 150 rubles per person from visitors. The descent to the river is so old, it's not easy to go down with children.
It's a great place, we walked - it's by force for the young. About an hour uphill. Then go down the stairs. There is a hanging rope to the boilers themselves. But the coolest thing is further, you can walk along the picturesque gorge. But! To do this, climb up the rope, and then on foot with overcoming obstacles. However, it's worth it. I advise everyone to be energetic!
Nature is magnificent, but after paying for the entrance ticket, you can only see 2 boilers, and then it is almost impossible to go down to 2 boilers, one torn short rope is slippery, it is unrealistic to reach 3 boilers even for a trained athlete ((( and there is nothing to do with children there.
A cool place, located in new Athos in the mountains, where you can also eat kebabs, drink chacha and beer, climb and descend to the boilers by a steep staircase, if you are under 70, it is better not to go there, for young people like me, everything is fine.
It is not necessary to go to this place to admire the beautiful view of the gorge. Higher up the mountain along the road along the gorge to the river, you can go down for free and see almost the same views;)
It's worth a visit, the places are beautiful. The only disadvantage is that they charge money for admission, and the descent is not properly equipped. You can't get to the third cauldron just like that
