EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled on the sun-kissed hillside overlooking the tranquil waters of the Black Sea in the Gudauta raion of Abkhazia, lies the picturesque Lemon Plantation at New Athos. This charming grove, once known by various names including Nikopol, Acheisos, Anakopia, Nikopia, Nikofia, Nikopsis, Absara, and Psyrtskha, dates back to the 1910s. The lemon trees, with their vibrant green foliage and golden fruit, cling to the terraced slopes, their branches laden with the sweet and tangy citrus fruit. The terraces, a testament to the rich agricultural history of the region, were skillfully carved into the landscape, allowing for optimal sun exposure and efficient water management. The Lemon Plantation at New Athos represents the rich cultural heritage and the natural beauty of Abkhazia, a region located in the Caucasus Mountains of Georgia. The town, with its unique history and diverse names, has been an important part of the region's agricultural landscape for generations. The lemon trees, with their lush foliage and bountiful harvest, have thrived in this idyllic setting, providing a source of sustenance and livelihood for the local community. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of simple pleasures and the beauty of nature. The lemon plantation, with its terraced slopes and the shimmering Black Sea in the background, is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people who have tended to it for generations. Today, the Lemon Plantation at New Athos continues to be a source of pride and inspiration for the people of Abkhazia, a reminder of their rich agricultural heritage and the natural beauty of their land.
