The entrance is paid, the toilet from 76 is also paid, the photo is paid. BUT despite this, you need to go there, it's very beautiful! We liked the tour.
Of course, it is interesting to walk around the cave, but 700 rubles for admission, even for children, is too much. There is a paid parking nearby for 200 rubles. In fact, you can park in any part of New Athos for free, everything is within walking distance. since the train to the cave runs at a certain interval, and tickets are sold for a specific time, you will have to wait. We waited 2 hours. The tour inside is for nothing, there is more information on the cave's website.
A wonderful place, I highly recommend visiting, the beauty is fabulous! It's a pretty long walk, but it's not as cool as everyone talks about it - almost everyone in our group wore T-shirts like that. Those who are cool were given something light, but few people. There is a constant temperature of +14, but there is no wind, not even a whiff, but there is humidity. And the views are amazing!
I definitely recommend you to visit. To begin with, this cave has its own subway. And let's continue with the fact that the cave is large, with unusual colorful stalactites and stalagmites. Do not forget warm clothes!
Well done, a good cave, put on stream! Let's go in the morning so that we don't fly over with tickets! from the bottom to the mountain taxi 200-300r (it's bad that tickets are only at the box office, groups are suitable and they are given tickets, and ordinary people without a group, what will they get ...), it's cold + 14 in the cave itself, it's not necessary to take things with you, blankets are given at the entrance at the turnstile for 150r, or for rent -There are jackets in the shop upstairs
From the cave itself, you can go down to the bottom of 150 meters , there is a tunnel nearby, go directly to the station and a beautiful lake with a waterfall
For an amateur, of course. But for general development, it's worth going. The tour is interesting, the views are unusual. Tickets are sold in advance, the queue is long. But it's worth it.
The cave is interesting, but because of the HUGE group and the very hurrying guide, little was seen.
The bridges are narrow, slippery, people walk for a long time, and they turn off the lights when they have not yet covered the whole way. I was in this cave 10 years ago - I liked it much more. This was some kind of race, not an excursion.
The first time I was with the cave, it was very interesting. The guide tells me everything is interesting. In general, I can write a lot, but it's better to visit and see this beauty for yourself.
I highly recommend it. The tracks and the train that carries have been updated. It is better to arrive at 9.00. The ticket offices open and you will pass through. From there, you can walk through the tunnel to get to the waterfall. It will be a great walk
Monumental natural structures! The colossal volumes and the power of nature are breathtaking. Well organized, comfortable bridges stairs lighting! A good tour, I recommend it!
I liked the tour, I went out with the children impressed by the grandeur of the cave. If you plan to visit the cave, take your outerwear with you, it is quite cool underground. You can pay 50rubles for photos at the entrance, no one checks the tickets. There is a plaid rental at the entrance-100rubles.The guide splits everything interestingly, explains
The scale and beauty of the cave are amazing, a megalithic structure of nature. Six huge halls, stalactites and stalagmites, underground lakes. Definitely worth a visit, you won't regret it.
A very cool place! I recommend it! The subway inside the cave is cool! It was in July 2024! I came at 11:00! I stood in line for 40 minutes! I went to the session at 11.40! I recommend taking a windbreaker or hoodie with you! The temperature is +14 inside the cave!
We were on an excursion with my husband in August 2024. It's a wonderful place, the guide tells you everything in detail. I recommend it! Don't forget to bring warm clothes to the cave!
The place is mandatory to visit. The scale is amazing. And the tour is interesting. You can't take beautiful photos because it's dark, but it's definitely worth seeing with your own eyes. And as a nice bonus, it's very cool in it.
Unfortunately, tickets can only be purchased upon arrival and cannot be purchased in advance.
A natural something! The landscape is like in the best movies about space and other planets! A beautiful, mysterious and peaceful place. I recommend you to visit without fail!
The railway tracks, loudly called the metro, are simply dangerous for such passenger traffic!!!
Made in the USSR - they just barely breathe and fall apart on the move, while more than 70 passengers and many of them are children
The lighting in the halls of the caves is terrible, the guide turns on three lanterns in yellow light, there is no design idea to emphasize the beauty and power of nature at all.. Sadly
Getting into the caves on your own is already a victory! The queue is huge, the guides are streaming, out of turn. "I took a ticket and went in " not about the caves, I took a ticket at 13.00 at 17.40, maybe, but you can stand in line and find out that there are no tickets for today.
We were lucky, the queue was defended and there were no tickets, but suddenly the cashier yelled that there were two tickets for now, 700 rubles. from a person and we got there.
At first we rode on the subway train, packed, then a 1.5-hour walking tour of the cave with a guide. Interesting, impressive, worth a look!
The cave is very cool.
First you go by train, then you get into a cave in the interior of the lake, beautiful and the views in the cave are fascinating , from the cons 1.5 hours and everything ends very little, you do not have time to enjoy the cave , people are transported by a conveyor belt just to show and quickly back, 700r per person is not a little charge
The cave is wonderful, the guide is wonderful, a very interesting performance, informative.
The organization of ticket sales and the entire nearby infrastructure are terrible. Well, isn't it possible to make three working cash desks instead of one, you can't put an air conditioner in the hallway, organize a normal parking lot? There was an impression that after the cave was opened to the public (in 1975), no innovations occurred.
It would be better to have the opportunity to walk quickly without an excursion. The tour itself is interesting, but it turned out to be very long. We have to wait for everyone all the time, and if there are power outages on the day, then it's better not to come, we were 2.5 -3h instead of 1h 20 min. It's very cold, I don't know how the children stood it. The generators are weak, they don't save you for long.
There is a large queue at the ticket office outside the street, which flows into one at the top, so I advise you not to queue at the bottom near the road, but to climb the steps and take a queue there a little higher. Save a lot of time. A train takes people directly to the cave according to the time according to the tickets purchased at the ticket office. I will not say that this cave is better than the Kungur ice cave. Maybe only the passages are more monumentally equipped. The tour lasts about 1 hour and 20 minutes. and the guide tells you quite interestingly, gives you time to take pictures and consider everything.
Very large-scale. I can imagine how the discoverer of this cave felt when he discovered it. Tickets are difficult. For example, at 14:00 there are tickets for a visit at 17:00. Something like that. But the place is very cool.
Amazing impressions from visiting the cave. There are 6 halls, a group of 80 people, a tour guide, many interesting moments. It's probably cool there in summer, comfortable in winter.
The cost is only 700 rubles with an escort.
This is something incredible, this cave is the second largest in the world, as for me it is the most important sights of Abkhazia the entrance costs 700 rubles. the scale is so huge that you go down to the cave by train, you cannot convey any photos, no videos, you need to see it with your eyes, I highly recommend visiting.
The scale is impressive! I haven't been to any other caves. I liked everything about this one and the scale and staloctites, stalognites, stalognates. First they take you to the subway, then they walk through the halls with a guide. The guide can be heard well, there is a backlight. Nature, of course, surprises how such beauty was formed inside the mountain. It is definitely necessary to visit.
The cave is just very beautiful and big, a great tour. It is very cool to dress warmly or take a plaid at the entrance, but it is paid. You don't have to pay for the photo shoot, no one asked us for a paid ticket. The impression is very spoiled by comrades navyashevo offering paid parking with threats that you will be rented rooms. Only cars with Abkhazian license plates can park anywhere.
It is a very interesting place, we had an interesting tour. Take your sweaters with you, it's very fresh.
We took blankets for the children, each blanket is 100 rubles.
We really liked it
An impressive place, an interesting underground subway. A good guide got caught and told us about the cave in an interesting way. I would like to get to the concerts that are held there.
The caves themselves are very cool, but you will definitely remember getting into them with a queue for tickets)
And of course, we recommend that the guides talk about the caves more lively and interesting. The information comes out very languidly and tediously
I love this place. I was here with my husband for the first time two years ago and they impressed me so much that I had a desire to definitely show them to my daughter. And now, two years later, I'm here again. Yes, when you are in the cave for the second time, you no longer feel the scale, but still, it is a very colorful place and it is worth visiting here at least once in your life!
The cave itself makes a very strong impression. I want to stop, stay in silence and enjoy the views and sensations. The impression was spoiled by the fact that tickets are given for sessions, you have to wait to recruit people. But the carriages of the train and the station lifted the mood. We got to the right stop very quickly, from where the tour starts. Check the schedule before placing the cave. It was the first time we came in vain, but we took a walk up the trail, among the houses and seals. And in general, memory recorded the tour as worthy. And yes, it doesn't hurt to put on warm sweaters or jackets).
To be in Abkhazia and not see the New Athos Cave with its underground lakes and stalactites is nonsense! I have a huge impression for the rest of my life! I recommend it, you will be satisfied!
A well-equipped cave, I really liked everything. It was not a pity to give money for such an excursion. However, the guide, apparently, was already tired of telling the same thing, there was no involvement in the voice. In general, everything was great!
It's an amazing place by the look of it. But there is a disadvantage, firstly, to stand in line for tickets, and secondly, when the first ones pass, the rest need to go faster because while the rear ones reach, the first ones are already leaving.
The city is interesting. The caves are just fire. And who said that there is no metro in Abkhazia 😂😂😂
I recommend this location for visiting and spaciousness.
Beauty. The caves are simply fascinating, there are cave lakes, stalactites and other growths. The waterfall of eternity.
When visiting caves, you need to get dressed, the temperature inside is 14 degrees, but it feels a little warmer. Take a more powerful camera
An interesting location! The instructor tells everything in detail.It's very interesting to listen. You can take beautiful photos. Only this is for one time, of course, I went after 2 years, everything is the same, no new stories, facts. To broaden your horizons, it's interesting, I advise you.
An impressive cave, it's huge. Very cool music and light. A wonderful excursion, worth visiting for sure. A lot of people, even in October, did not get there immediately, but during this time they climbed the Anakopian fortress.
Definitely like it. I recommend it to everyone. I won't say too much. It must be seen, heard and felt on the spot. It's perfectly organized. There are no long queues. There is enough space for everyone. An amazing and easy adventure, suitable for children and the elderly. Inexpensive.
An interesting tour, a good guide with a relaxed voice,cool,and the music base,folk songs,very cool, got to 1400,parking for cars at the bottom 200 rubles,give blankets,slippery
The food is cool. I recommend. The tour guide or the guide left some strange feelings. The woman behaved like the owner of this cave, who does not want to be seen by tourists. And in general, it should be closed for people to visit.
