New Athos is one of those resorts that need to be explored independently, avoiding obsessive guides and crowded excursions.
Abkhaz resorts seemed to me a visual demonstration of the inability or reluctance to create a high-quality holiday for tourists. Natural beauty is simple indescribable, but primitive wildness is beautiful for landscapes, but terrible and disadvantaged for the tour industry.
In order to gain unconditional pleasure from visiting the Abkhaz resorts in general and the new Athos, in particular, a specific attitude is required. He is to understand that you are traveling to the classic "scoop". Someone can ponastalgate, but most of the travelers who are accustomed to foreign resorts, here may not like despite the beautiful natural beauty and attractions.
So keep in mind that you are going to a place where such a thing as "service" is missing completely. I was tuned to it and besides, the new Athos was not the first Abkhaz resort, that is, the local flavor I already bored.
While visiting a new Athon, I completely ovelae all offers of organized excursions. The fact is that the main attraction of this place is the new-Afono Simono-Kananite Monastery can not be visited by a crowd. Here you want to retire and stay so much how much your heart requires ... and that the guide does not fuck you want ... and that the crowd of tourists around you do not want ... and I got it all.
The place is really delicious and must be visited. His dome is visible from any point of Athos. The monastery is best visited right in the morning. I managed to catch it absolutely empty and already after I got what I came here - peace of mind and peace, the first organized excursions jerked here.
To be honest, some of our tourists, and especially the tourist, produce an unpleasant impression. The ladies can go on a tour of the monastery in short shorts or tight trousers and when they are not allowed inside, they are very indignant ... very strange, is not it?
The legendary cave, nicknamed Novo Aphon, I really liked.
This is a completely different attraction - non-manual beauty.
And again you need to go on the inspection of this cave yourself. Well, how can you feel beauty, if there are more than fifty-haired and continuously filming people.
After an independent visit to these two magnificent places of the resort, New Athos, I once again made sure that an organized excursion for me is unacceptable. New Athos is a small resort, where it is impossible to get lost or get lost, so I really advise you not to go crowds ... Contemplate! Dissolve in nature! And pay attention to the lack of service.
