New Athos is located at a distance of 21 km from the capital of the republic of the city of Sukhum. The climate here is marine subtropical, the average annual temperature is about +15 degrees. I must say that, due to constant breezes, in the hot season the temperature here is usually moderate. At the same time, from the northern cold winds, the resort is protected by mountains: there are spurs of the Caucasian ridge here.
Due to the fact that the resort "looks" to the south, it gets extra sunny days, which is very attractive for holidaymakers. The relief of the resort is such that its entire territory is divided into three distinct zones, each of which has its own characteristics and its individuality. The first zone is coastal, up to 5 meters above sea level. The second - piedmont - up to 80 meters. The third zone is mountains, its height is up to 600 meters above sea level.

A bit of history
The rich and long history of Athos is .It begins in the 3rd century, when the city of Anakopia was an important trading center of the region .Archaeological excavations have shown that the then standard of living in the city was quite high, both materially and culturally..In the 5th century on the Iberian Mount the fortress was built by the Abkhazians .In the 8th century, the Abkhazian ruler, Leon II, declared himself an independent Abkhaz king, and Anakopia was the capital of the Abkhazian kingdom..Since then, a lot of water has flowed, many rulers have changed this territory, many dramatic events occurred .Despite the turbulent history, many interesting sights have survived to this day, which are important not only for Mount Athos and Abkhazia, but for the whole of mankind..

Hotels and private sector
You can stay in Afon either in the private sector or in hotels built several decades ago and updated on the wave of tourist interest in the resort, or newly built (as yet few) boarding houses .Despite the fact that the region is attractive all year round, most tourist hotels do not function in winter, unless, as the resort complex "Kamarit", offer programs for staying for the New Year and Christmas holidays .During the summer season in hotels tourists are offered quite comfortable rooms with all amenities, meals and, often, own transfer to the station .It is unlikely that Athos hotels and restaurants can compete with those institutions that operate in international resorts, but their level is constantly growing, and traditional Abkhaz hospitality smooths household roughness .
Entertainment, excursions and attractions of New Athos - $
Landscapes of New Athos are extremely good and permanently remain in the memory of those who came here at least once $ $.Hilly terrain, rich subtropical vegetation, among which the real thickets of lemon, orange, mandarin and olive trees predominate, nobody leaves indifferent .In all directions on the territory of the resort stretch cypress alleys .The subtle aroma of cypresses and citrus fruits rushes in the air, intoxicates and makes you forget about the stresses and problems of everyday life..Green plantations of the coastal zone are rich in magnolias, laurels, palm trees and eucalyptus - all these plants look for the inhabitants of more northern latitudes, this exotic .
New Athos Monastery
One of the most interesting sights is, of course, the Orthodox New Athos (Simon-Kananitsky) monastery .His story began in August 1875, when several monks from the monastery of St. Panteleimon, which is located on Mount Athos in Greece, arrived in Abkhazia to choose a place for a new abode .The erection of the monastery began in 1876 and lasted 12 years .These were years of hard hard work, as the construction of buildings was preceded by the clearing of sites in the mountains .But in 1896 the monastery was built and the first premises were consecrated in it .
The main shrine of the monastery is a miraculous cross with a particle of the Tree of the Life-giving Cross of the Lord .It is known that the construction of the monastery was attended by the Emperor Alexander III, it was in 1888 .He also gave the monastery chimes for the highest tower .They were accompanied by gifts more prosaic, but very functional: a steam locomotive and a power station .Either with the easy hand of the king, or because of the diligence of the monks, but the monastery achieved serious success in economic activity: it operated candle, brick, oil refineries, bookbinding, sewing, watchmaking, shoemaking and foundries .In addition, the monastery grounds were planted with vineyards, mandarin, plum, walnut orchards .In 1924 the monastery was closed by the Soviet power, and 70 years later its revival began ... Next to the monastery there is a cave in which Simon the Cananite secluded and prayed .Anyway, that's what the legend says .
