A gorgeous and beautiful place. For the second time this year, my wife and I climbed there, very steep views open from a height. There is an inexhaustible well near the tower, you can always refresh yourself and drink water, but the mechanism of "extraction" of water would need to be upgraded - for some reason the pipe is tied to a bucket, it is not very convenient to get it, it is easier when just a chain. The recommendation to everyone is to put on sneakers for going there, do not kill your feet in slippers and slates and your sandals (for madame). The climb is quite steep in places, especially at the beginning of the journey, but it's worth it, the whole New Athos is in the palm of your hand from above

We went up to the fortress on foot, from the entrance to the New Athos cave. The climb is sometimes very steep! It takes about 30 minutes to walk to the ticket booth. The road is sometimes open to the sun, sometimes there is a shadow. We paid the money for the entrance, 300 rubles each, (they didn't give out tickets, I wonder where and to whom the money went??) and we bought a brochure about the fortress. Let's go further: the road became a path, then a bumpy path in places, rises in loops to the top of the mountain, to a height of about 350 m. Taking our time and photographing the views, we walked for about 45 minutes. Ruins of walls, remains of fortress towers, views of the coast - there is something to admire! The ruins of the citadel at the top of the mountain are very impressive! There are many beautiful places. The observation deck at the top of the restored tower, climbing the internal stairs, is quite steep. The views are amazing! And on the territory of the citadel there is an inexhaustible well and a chapel, significant places for Orthodox pilgrims. I pulled out a bucket of water, not easy, but quite possible! As a result: an interesting place, I definitely recommend visiting it in good weather!

The place is very atmospheric. For a leisurely walk with your family, it is better to lay at least 3 hours. The ascent and descent take quite a long time. The territory of the fortress itself is not very large. The view from above of the sea and New Athos is very beautiful! There is a well with drinking water upstairs, you can replenish the supply of drinking water.
