Abrskil Cave or Abrskila (Georgian: აბრსკილის მღვიმე[1]) is a stalactite cave near Otapi village in Abkhazia,[n 1] Georgia. It is named after the national hero of Abrskil — a parallel folk hero of the Greek Prometheus and Georgian Amiran — known as Abkhaz Prometheus. It is also called the Otap cave. Abrskila is more than 2 km in length out of which about 1.5 to 1.7 km is accessible for viewing. Its beauty and fame is compared favourably with another cave known as the New Athos Cave.[2][3]
