New Athos is a small picturesque city on the Black Sea coast of Abkhazia, where history and nature are intertwined in a unique atmosphere. Here monastic traditions coexist with resort life, and narrow streets, promenade and coastal landscapes create a mood for leisurely walks and discoveries. The city holds traces of ancient cultures and religious heritage, which makes it interesting for both pilgrims and tourists looking for beautiful views and soulful stories.
Among the man-made attractions of New Athos, the New Athos Monastery and its architectural ensemble, the Assumption Cathedral of the Drand Monastery and the temple of Simon Cananite are especially distinguished. At the tops and in the center of the city you can see the Akhun Tower and the Anakopian fortress, and in the coastal zone - a well-groomed embankment, the Seaside Park, the chapel of Our Lady of Iver and the famous sculptures of the Mermaid and the Eagle, torturing a snake. The historic trails, the Stone Garden and the monk-created New Athos Falls complement a collection of places worth visiting to understand the region’s cultural and spiritual heritage.
Natural pearls around the city are not inferior in impression to man-made monuments. New Athos Cave – one of the largest in the region – fascinates with its halls and stalactites, and the grottoes of Simon Cananite and Agza reveal mysterious underground landscapes. Iberian Mountain with a height of 344 meters and the Akhun Mountains offer panoramic views of the sea and coast, and the beaches and coastal cliffs create scenic routes for walking. The river valleys and wooded slopes around the city are ideal for nature lovers and photographers.
On our site you can see all these attractions on an interactive map: quickly find points of interest, read a brief background information about each object and build a convenient route. The map helps you estimate the distances between places, the time to inspect and combine man-made and natural points of interest in one day or in several stops according to your plan.
You are free to explore New Athos on your own, walking along the promenade, climbing the mountains and looking into the caves, or book excursions with local guides. Experienced guides will tell little-known stories, explain the historical context and offer safe and exciting routes – a great addition to self-guided walks for those who want a deeper understanding of the city and its attractions.
Come to New Athos to see the combination of spiritual history and natural beauty with your own eyes. Discover monasteries and caves, walks along the waterfront and climb to the tops - and let each new place give you impressions and inspiration for the next trip.
