Psyrtskha Platform

July 10
The Psyrtskha platform is located in New Athos, it is very picturesque and located in a stunningly beautiful place! It is located almost in the very center of New Athos, not far from both the monastery and the cave, but if you do not know where to go, then it is difficult to see it.

My favorite station in Abkhazia. It's a very beautiful place.
Fabulous
In spring, the color of the water is extraordinary
The architecture of the station attracts the eye.
It's clean, the locals are constantly nagging, sweeping, cleaning. I would like to ask tourists to be more careful and be clean

A very atmospheric place, a must-visit!
The view is amazing.
There are fish from small to large individuals in the pond, as well as turtles.
You can take a ride on a boat with a transparent bottom.
The station building itself is under restoration, and in a couple of years it will probably be completely put in order.

Visited in the evening and in the morning, the station is gorgeous at any time of the day👍
Psyrkha station (Psyrkha) is a now—inactive stopping point of the Abkhazian railway. In the Soviet years, it was here that tourists visiting New Athos got off, but today rare trains arise from the darkness of the tunnel, rush through and also disappear into the tunnel opposite.
Pscyrkha station is called not only the most beautiful, but also the most mystical of the abandoned stations in Abkhazia. It's all the fault of the symbol of the five—pointed star (a magical symbol of divine fire - the unity of spiritual and material).

A very interesting and beautiful place . There is a lake and a tunnel, overgrown with greenery at the exit from it, and a waterfall, albeit artificially created. Everything is refined, clean. There are several small retail outlets nearby and there is a Holy Spring.

A beautiful place for photos. The station itself was under repair, the entire building was in scaffolding. Be careful! Down under the waterfall, you can meet divorced photographers who unceremoniously put a hat and a burka on you, chat a lot. They take photos on your phone, then demand 4,000 for renting things for a photo... for 10 photos on your phone...

The Psyrtskha platform is located in New Athos and impresses with its picturesqueness. It is located in the city center. The beauty of the surrounding place makes her visit special! Quad biking at Quadro Pedro was a pleasant addition to the tour.

There are a lot of people, surely someone from the locals is pestering with a photo)
But the beauty of this place...This is something amazing!! A refreshing coolness awaits you at the waterfall on a sultry day..somehow the air conditioner is right outside. Climbing up, you can see a very beautiful platform with vintage benches, a beautiful lake with fish and then a park.. It was a revelation to me in Abkhazia that water can be drunk from springs, waterfalls, directly from the mountains! Be sure to go further!! Nothing ends beyond the station ;)

Psyrtskha railway platform, the station is not operational, trains do not stop here, but it is very beautiful here, the building of the station itself is above the water, two tunnels, a building above the tunnel, a picturesque artificial pond in which large fish swim, frogs live, bananas grow, definitely worth a visit, very beautiful

A very beautiful, quiet place. It's just a pity that it's neglected. It seems that they have begun to restore, I hope that the idea will be a success. There is a lake, a small waterfall and a lot of greenery nearby. A pleasant place for walking and admiring nature.

A very pleasant and beautiful place. In the hot Abkhazian summer, standing near the waterfall and enjoying its coolness is priceless. The views and photos are very beautiful. A must-visit.

A beautiful place, a gorgeous waterfall, a well-groomed territory, but until you see everything with your own eyes, you will not understand all the beauty and power of mountains, forests and water!!!! It's a super experience!!!

It's a beautiful place. The station itself is undergoing reconstruction. When the construction work is finished, it will be a great place to relax, take a photo shoot and just walk around.

It is a beautiful and unusual place, especially for a resident of the plain: the station is located quite high, the platform stretches from tunnel to tunnel, and the station pavilion seems to "hover" over the purest lake with azure-colored water, where trout swim... An excellent architectural solution, it's a pity that the damage has not been repaired yet.

An authentic place! In the spirit of Abkhazian "abandonments". Although it is very beautiful. And the place itself is attractive. A river is a lake that turns into a man-made waterfall. There are always those who want to take pictures on the railway tracks, but the caretaker is vigilant and scares violators away with a loud voice. By the way, this year I saw that the station building is being restored. I have not seen trains stop here, but as a monument of Soviet architecture, the station is very interesting!

Restoration has begun, the pond is being cleaned. You can go boating, clean the embankment, and most importantly repair the station itself. From here there is an exit to a mountain river and a cell

Nature. Weather. Attractions. There are few people on the beaches. Clear sea. Cheap quality wine and good draft Sukhumi beer. There are good cafes that have free tables. They develop and build everything.
Very friendly people, good attitude everywhere.
The New Athos caves do not have a website, there is a live queue, it is inconvenient.
There are few good hotels. There are many buildings that have not been restored. The level of service is the Crimea of the 2000s, with rare exceptions.
I liked it more in Pitsunda.

The place is beautiful, there is a lot to walk around, but I think for once all this, the only thing I didn't like was paid parking, which they didn't bother to write about, after which you see a check for 200 rubles for more than 10 minutes, of course they argued on this account, they achieved their goal, I do not recommend leaving the car behind the tunnel at the very piece of iron)

Abkhazia is beautiful in many places.in particular, when visiting Mount Athos, this is one of the places where you need to visit, there is a market and a cafe nearby. We will come again next year.

It's interesting, but I would like them to start accepting cards through terminals. But of course, as always, those who want to earn extra money will run after you, plant an owl, put on a hat and a caftan. Everything is as usual, everything is for tourists.
By the way, be careful, the train began to walk, do not stand on the railway tracks.

It is a very atmospheric place, but work is currently underway, perhaps in the future the station will reopen, there is a beautiful fish pond nearby, but fishing is prohibited. As well as a waterfall.

It's an interesting place, as if you're in the 19th century. So it seems that now a steam locomotive with carriages will emerge from the tunnel and a noisy crowd of tourists in crinolines, hats with airy white umbrellas from the sun, men in white linen suits, importantly accompany their anxious companions, in anticipation of a seaside holiday.

The bus stop was opened in 1944 under the name Dacha. In 1951, the platform received the Georgian name — Agaraki. In 1967, the station was renamed after the river that flowed here — Psyrtskha.

It's just mesmerizing!!! Everything is so beautiful!!! We were in Abkhazia in May of this year. We were very impressed. I liked everything. The people are friendly, the nature is amazing, the views are simply gorgeous. We visited the Novo Athenian cave, Rizza Lake, trout farming and many more interesting places. If you want vivid impressions, visit the Fabulous forest, I recommend it to everyone, you will be satisfied! For me, Abkhazia is a place of power, where you can see mountain rivers, lakes, mountains, a majestic canyon and the purest sea.

One of the most atmospheric places in New Athos, very beautiful, all my clients were happy to be there.
The only negative is that in the summer of 2023, there was a reconstruction inside, there were scaffolding and spoiled the view. For me, such things should be done more quickly and out of season. How many times I came there, no work was going on, only forests.

It's worth stopping by to see, although this platform is more interesting in the photos. The most epic thing is when a train passes through this station, because the platform is as close as possible to the rails on which you can descend, but not when the train is running! Come, walk, relax.

I returned to the USSR, although the railway station is abandoned, but it is clear that it is going to be restored, it stands on the shore of a lake where trout swim in shoals, you can climb the mountains along a special road, very cool...

It is worth visiting a beautiful and picturesque place. They make great photos.
One disadvantage is that Ostap Bender (an incomprehensible man in civilian clothes) is standing in the parking lot near the waterfall and collecting money for parking (200 rubles). It is not clear why the authorities of Abkhazia do not react to this. Because of such petty moments, the tourist does not want to come again and again.

I didn't understand at all. Why is this tourist site and what does it serve for? It looks like a "Swallow's nest" - Crimea.
The view of the lake and waterfall itself causes "chagrin". There is a lot of garbage in the water. Entrance to the gorge is paid, the toilet is paid. Architecture is a new model for pseudo-historicity...

The restoration of the station has finally begun. We were in May of the 24th year, saddened by the fact that boxwoods, which were everywhere, died out. An incredibly cool cafe downstairs, like going down to the river, with a gorgeous view! I recommend you to visit!

The platform and the railway are immersed in the times of the USSR, in the best understanding of this. Beautiful and solid. It is necessary to walk and admire, this is our story.

I thought it was abandoned. That was not the case. It's like a tourist Mecca. Parking 200 rubles. In general, it is a great place to walk. Nearby you can go to the cave of the Apostle Canonite. You can look at the waterfalls. You can ride on transparent troughs. I liked the architecture. Gorgeous Soviet architecture. Made for the ages. It's worth a visit.
