Abrskil Cave, also called Abrskila or the Otap cave, is a stalactite cave near Otapi village in Abkhazia, Georgia, extending more than two kilometres, of which about one and a half to one point seven kilometres is accessible for viewing. It is named for Abrskil, a national folk hero paralleled with the Greek Prometheus and the Georgian Amiran and known as the Abkhaz Prometheus, and its scenic quality is often compared favourably with the nearby New Athos Cave.
