The landscape of the village is dominated by a number of medieval monuments, and the Greater Caucasus mountains. The important cultural sites of Adishi are: the Church of the Deliverer (10th–11th centuries), two churches of St George (12th century), the Church of the Archangel (12th century) and several typical Svanetian towers.
The well-known Adysh Gospels (AD 897) was preserved here for centuries.
