Does anyone finally know if there is an Athens village in Georgia and where it is located? and got a better answer
Response from Worobioff[+++++]
There is, but it's not Ateni and not near Gori, it's western Georgia and in Georgian it's Akhali Atoni. There really are sacred places there, but now unfortunately in Abkhazia due to the processes going on, what is going on there is unknown. As for people born in Georgia, I will not talk about those who were born and lived in Georgia, it is simply impossible, we have enough of them and more for a small country. I can only say that Putin lived in Georgia, so he cannot live without it, hence all these incomprehensible actions on Russia's part. Such a small territory compared to huge Russia, but it has no rest for Russia, everything is not enough for it. Chechnya was barely swallowed up, and now she wants Georgia too! Isn't it a very big appetite?

Yes, it is there, where the New Athos caves are:
No, unfortunately.
Well, even if they don't exist, believe me for a couple thousand rubles or for a hundred bucks the Ateni people would have no problem calling the village Athens - the more so as the Georgian nationalists will have a good reason to write in the history books that Solon, Democritus, Socrates, Homer and many other great Georgians were born and lived near the town of Gori:
No. Maybe you mean New Athos is Abkhazia.There is a famous New Athos monastery.These are holy places, there preached Simon the Canonite disciple of Christ.
