This is one of the mandatory places of almost all tourist programs in Abkhazia. From this place begins the path to the last place of life of one of the apostles of Christ-Simon the Canonite. The old railway station in New Athos stands on the shore of a small lake. It is partially destroyed and does not recover for a long time. Trains pass through it, but do not stop here. The lake near the station is overgrown with algae and silt and is not cleaned for a long time, so the view deteriorates over time.
