It's a very beautiful place. Despite the fact that the temple was destroyed and the altar part was almost not preserved, there is a certain peace and quiet there. It is located in the old cemetery. It is made of stone very similar to tuff, and therefore slightly gloomy in appearance. Locals call it the Greek Church. It helps with orientation.

The basilica is located at the cemetery. Being in these ruins, you experience some kind of awe of the eternal, isolation from the hustle and bustle of the world and at the same time does not leave a feeling of banal abandonment, if not a dump. For some, this is a shrine, a corner of spirituality, there are plenty of notes in the cracks between the stones, spiritual brochures are laid out on benches, candles are placed on stands.

A very beautiful place that breathes history. I recommend it to lovers of antiquities who feel the energy of the stone. A clean place, do not enter the shrine area without respect.

It is located right in the village. She didn't make any special, vivid impressions. It probably prevented us from understanding its antiquity. Honking cars (( There are tourists, a lot of them just look past by car without stopping

The place itself and the historical structure are interesting, but in what form it is contained is just a disaster. What pieces of plywood, wood, garbage, the impression is so-so. People don't appreciate what they have and don't know how to take care of it

The historical place is located almost in the center of the village of Tsandripsh, about 8 km from the PSOU checkpoint.It is interesting to visit if you are nearby or interested in history.

The old church in the cemetery, unfortunately, is badly destroyed and there is no hope of restoration, but the service is held periodically. It is one of the few local historical sites.

The ruins of a beautiful temple built in the 6th century. There is an altar that someone is trying to take care of, a number of icons are hanging, you can pray, put a candle (take it with you). Quietly, calmly. There is a cemetery with well-groomed graves around. In front of the Amshin family Hotel. Next to a deserted beach.

Vacation in Abkhazia is an incomparable pleasure, spiritual ecstasy! We stayed in the small village of Tsandripsh, 4 km from the Russian border. This temple is located there. Surrounded by cypresses, climbing plants, an old cemetery. Once this building was amazingly white in color, it reflected the sun's rays, and was visible far out to sea, because it was built, like many old buildings from karz rocks, and this is a familiar limestone! If you read the history of Tsandripsh, then once it was the capital of something, like many settlements in Abkhazia, it was called Gandhiadi under the Georgians, and you can find several more names. The temple impresses with its domed vault, arches of windows, and simply the fact that it has survived, even candles can be placed. There is an altar. It is protected by the state. But not very well))). You can visit it, it is located by the sea

This is an ancient Orthodox church, I accidentally wandered there, but then I came several times, the place is strong, attracts, many people come there, light candles, pray, bring things for the poor, clothes, shoes.. People buy candles and matches themselves and bring them there. The temple is of course in a terrible state, ruins.. A major restoration is needed.

Nearby is a cemetery strewn with garbage from the outside, fresh burials (this is next to the sea and the beach), Tsandripsh itself is a bad place to relax, there is nothing to do - the beach is dirty, the coast is in the solarium from scooters, the local population is very unfriendly, I do not advise you to go, I supplement the review 03.04.2024 - there is a real environmental disaster here - everywhere on the poor dead dolphins on the shore, obviously fishing off the coast of Abkhazia, Turkish fishing vessels threw something toxic and poisonous into the sea, they talk about cases of loss of life! Think about whether it is possible to swim in this sea!

A local landmark, as I understand it, is significant for local residents, a ruined temple.
We came in for the sake of interest, it is located right on the road.
If anyone likes it, I didn't go in, but the location is beautiful

It looks sad, but what did you want from an ancient temple?! And there is certainly no time for repairs... Figs and other plants are making their way through the masonry of ancient bricks, birds know what to do... Well, cleanliness is maintained by local residents as much as possible. You will not see ancient icons there, but there are more or less modern ones that you can touch and if you are a believer, you can put candles for health and rest purchased at the local market...

The main historical monument of the district, one of the most interesting architectural monuments of Abkhazia, is a temple built in the Byzantine era: in 534 on the site of an older complex. This temple became one of the first in Transcaucasia. Now the temple stands in the center of the village of Tsandripsh right on the main Oktyabrskaya street, although it is closed by thickets and can not be noticed, about 60 m. west of the central square of Tsandripsh. If you arrived on the Psou — Tsandrypsh minibus, then you will be taken here. There is a cemetery around, densely overgrown with palm trees. The temple is not visible from the beach, although it stands 70 m away. from the surf line: the thickets get in the way

Definitely worth a visit. Antiquity is in every stone. Everything is right in the open air and next to the road. The roof has not been preserved. Just the walls. The altar part is in good condition.

I really enjoyed my vacation in Abkhazia. They lived in the village of Tsandripsh. Everything is fine. There is a market, pharmacies, cafes, a souvenir shop nearby. Not far from the Russian border. You can go to Adler for a walk and come back for lunch. The local population is friendly, the nature is stupid. The sea is clear. There is no special entertainment, but you can take a break from the hustle and bustle of big cities.

It is definitely necessary to visit, also because there is nowhere to go to Tsandripsha from the word at all. We were there for the first time and the second time when we lived in a hotel almost on the territory of this basilica- cemetery. Yes, yes, you heard right. The basilica is an ancient temple part of the old Abkhazian cemetery. This temple is one and a half thousand years old, but like everything old in this country, the soul is left on its own and is subject to terrible destruction. Actually, three walls and a minaret remain of the basilica, everything is subject to the most terrible erosion and destruction. Therefore, hurry up to see such an ancient temple, otherwise in a few years everything will sink into the summer like the rest of the architectural monuments of the area, which the local aborigines do not even try to preserve.

Ooh, this is a great place. You can leave the gate and plunge into the black sea. Lots of greenery, a beautiful place, kind and helpful residents. I will definitely come back here.Abkhazia is beautiful. The excursion to the Rizza lake spoiled the impression a little. Next time I will choose more carefully.

Nothing interesting, just a name.. The locals cluttered up with some devices for holding services, it would be better not to touch them at all. Dirt and debris all around.
