A chamber, very cozy city with sincere people. The central market, the train station, many shops are all within walking distance.
There are few activities for children, mainly in the Athos Park: trampolines, poultry house, pony, donkey, boat rental.
There is a line of cafes and canteens on the coast, the menu is approximately the same.
There is a rental of sapsurfs. The white beach is a separate art form. A sunbed under a canopy for the whole day is 1000 rubles. Films are shown daily in the evening. Foam parties and other events.
You can come to Athos to live at least for 2 months: walk, chat, lie down, work remotely.
There are fewer tourists than in Gagra, Pitsunda, Sukhum. And the advantage to the location is the relatively close location of all cultural, historical and natural monuments.
In Athos itself, it is worth seeing: the waterfall, the old station, the gorge and the grotto of Simon Kananit, the monastery, the Athos Park, the old fortress on the Iverskaya mountain, the city market, the railway station.
It's not a big village with good-natured Abkhazians. I really liked the cafe "Anaida" in the village. The sea is clear, there are few people. There is a small shop with everything you need. The only thing missing is a pharmacy.
We were a family on vacation in August 2021. It is difficult to find a better place for a relaxing family wellness vacation. A "wild" beach, magnificent nature, friendly surroundings, delicious food in a cafe by the sea. Special thanks to the hospitable family of the guest house owner, Arthur himself and his father D. Raphael!
