No matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t plan a visit. the sights of the Agur gorge so as to make it all one day. Eagle Rocks, Agur Waterfalls and the Tower on Mount Akhun so arranged that it is most convenient to visit them by separately or no more than two places at a time.
The statue of Prometheus, which is located on the Eagle Rocks, itself imagine a secondary attraction. This should come for beautiful views to arrange a picnic in the cafe or for walks in the mountains.

Eagle Rocks in Sochi
Quite a popular place even among locals, thanks to really spectacular views. On the Eagle Rocks (aka Eagle) Zalet), people come literally for a few hours, but they can spend half a day. All because there are equipped for resting places with tables and stunning views of the gorge. Picnic or a cafe – in short, there are types of recreation for every taste.
Price in a local cafe with the same name so-so. They say their kebab is not very good, but the trout is good. And if you pass by while walking, it is better to restrict drinks, for a long time cook. If you come on a picnic, then it is better for yourself Cook.
When you stand on the Eagle Rocks and look down, that’s where Agur waterfalls are located, but they are not heard because of the huge height. If desired, and not in the hot season, when there is very little water, waterfalls you can even see it from above.
The color of the water in the river Matsesta is breathtaking

The first time I visited Eagle Rocks, having descended from Mount Akhun in gorge with waterfalls and rising on its other side to the rocks. He stayed on the lookout, looked at the statue of Prometheus and went down already from the other side to matsesta. Just passed along the entire gorge on top, along the cliff. Beautiful path there. Great places for walks, I recommend for those who do not need a picnic, but activity.
The only thing you need to think better is the logistics of the route, if you are by car. With Matsesta, I then had to get back to the mountain Akhun, where my car stood in the parking lot. This is inconvenient, so better not do.
The descent from Akhun starts right along the asphalt road, but not for long
