Such a magical place, it's scary and interesting at the same time. It is impossible to look away from such a miracle as stalactites and stalpgmites. Special effects in the form of music, lighting excite the imagination. An interesting guide accompaniment, her unhurried story helps to immerse yourself in the secrets of this natural treasure. Abkhazia never ceases to amaze with its beauty and uniqueness! I really liked it!
It's a very interesting place, although I'm not a fan of caves, but I was impressed. It is amazing what beauty water creates inside the mountains. The ticket costs 700 rubles and it's pretty cool and humid inside, so you need to take a sweater and comfortable non-slippery shoes.
A grandiose natural creation, modified for the convenience of visiting it! It's just not a likely explosion of sensations - the height of the vaults in grottos and caves, the grace and power of nature, which created this creation, simply overwhelms emotions.
It's a wonderful place. It is well equipped, organized, interesting. Just bring a warm jacket with you. It's cool in the cave. Or you will have to rent a cape for 100 rubles.
We visited the New Athos Cave twice: for the first time in 2005. The first impressions left the best memories.
Today, I was very unlucky with the guide, I was constantly poking at something on the phone, talking intermittently, the tourists were on their own (guide Oksana). Another drop of tar is the toilet, parking is paid, it seems to be the norm of life now, but it would be quality...But he's not here. The sale of useless merch (stones) and their constant advertising, instead of an informative story about the cave.
The atmosphere and decoration of the cave are wonderful - it is recommended to visit!!!
An interesting place to visit. We arrived at 11:30. Excursion at 11 40. Tickets were sold to everyone who came. There were more than 40 of us. We rode the train standing up. It takes 3 minutes to drive. The cave itself is interesting, it takes 1.5 hours to walk. It's not cold, the sweaters are quite enough.
An incredible cave. I have never seen such people anywhere, although I have been to caves in other countries. A very interesting tour that flies by in one breath.
I was surprised by the train that took us to the cave (an unusual experience, sorry for the spoiler)
It's a very impressive place. It is interesting and exciting for children 8-10 years old. They especially like to take the train inside the cave and back and walk through the passages through the huge halls. And it will not leave adults indifferent. Of course, you can also view photos and videos of the New Athos Cave on the Internet, but these are not the impressions that cover when you get there. Just keep in mind that if you visit on your own during the season, you will have to stand in line decently. Of course, this is not the place that you will return to from time to time, but it is definitely worth visiting once.
Great educational entertainment on vacation.
A unique, incredible whim of nature, the creation of which will not fit in the mind.
Over millions of years, billions of droplets have created a MIRACLE
We didn't expect anything super exciting, although in vain. A very interesting tour and an impressive natural wonder. The only thing that confused me was the fast pace of the tour and the huge queues when buying a ticket. I recommend taking tickets in advance. Or persuade someone, at the beginning of the queue, to take a ticket for you with a surcharge for the "service" =) In general, we did not regret that we went.
Just a delight!!! Be sure to visit, and dress warmly, after more than +30 on the street and in the queue, where probably under 45, all steamed up, you get 1.5hours at + 14, there may be consequences.
Sooooo liked it!!!!! It's just great!!!!! Excellent tour support! Equipped space when moving through the cave, light accompaniment!!!! Wonderful, thank you very much for an interesting pastime!!!!
A must-visit for all ages. It's a little cold inside. You should put on a sweater. Very atmospheric.

This rating is given only to the administration for the organization! The grandmother shouting into the microphone at the checkout, the ill-mannered arrogant guides endlessly climbing without a queue, who send you away with obscenities and they don't care that you are standing in line with the children! Why is it not possible to organize a separate cash register for them? Payment is only in cash, the toilet is paid, the photo is paid! Already at the entrance you get so much negativity that you don't want to go anywhere anymore.
We visited twice, in 12 and this year, 22. We changed the railing in the cave, very convenient, a new train. The guide told me interestingly, the disadvantage not related to the cave can be called the fact that some parents take sooo small children with them, almost infants. Instead of the guide's story, I had to listen to crying.
The wagons are packed, some were traveling standing up. With a 700r ticket, you have to pay for photography and even a banal trip to the toilet. Cards are not accepted. There are three ATMs in the cave building, none of them worked.
It is a very beautiful place, and the temple is ancient. One of the 12 apostles of Christ ended his life here, the one at whose wedding Jesus turned water into wine))

Definitely need to visit .
The problem with tickets is eternal, there is no online sale only for groups.
It is better to come to the opening, spend less time queuing at the checkout.
I highly recommend it.
A must-visit place! The experience is unforgettable!
There is a huge queue for about an hour for tickets. But for those who come with an excursion, the guides take tickets "without waiting in line". Be prepared that after the "extraction" of tickets you will have to wait a couple more hours until your time comes. But it's already pretty clear what time is written on the ticket, and that's when you'll go. It is very cool in the cave. Either take long-sleeve sweatshirts/windbreakers with you, or you can rent blankets/jackets on site.
There is something to see for both children and adults, it is important to know, the queue at the ticket office goes fast, but the time is given 2-3 hours after purchasing tickets, so you have to come 2 times, run tickets the first time, come the second time.
The cave is magnificent! We really liked it. The beauty is extraordinary! We are having a rest in new Athos and decided to go! They didn't regret it at all!
It's a beautiful place. Fascinating views, both inside and outside the cave. The guides are all competent and pleasant. A must-visit. There is a slight disadvantage, of course - these are huge queues in the season. But for the sake of the impressions you get, you can also admire the surroundings, especially since there is something to see.
It's a great themed place, the tour is great... Toilet 10 rubles . The permission for photo and video shooting is 50 rubles. The entrance ticket is 700 rubles. You will be taken to the cave by a subway car....
There is nothing more beautiful than New Athos! The nature is amazing! The aura is refreshing! And the trip to the caves was remembered for a lifetime! Very tasty cuisine! Thank you Abkhazia, I love you!
Unfortunately, everything is falling into disrepair, it was in January 2024. Everything is crumbling, everything is falling down, such a scale, such power, one has only to approach one disappointment..
05.06.2022 visited the New Athos cave. The cave is super, the scale is amazing, the only tracks and there are a lot of them, and there are sharp descents and ascents, special shoes are needed from the humidity in the cave. The impressions from the tour are positive, although at the end of the journey she fell and, as it turned out, broke her leg. Therefore, my advice to people, especially at an age, is to be extremely careful. Many thanks to the guide, both for the story about minerals and for the general mood created by a very suitable voice and musical accompaniment.
