Departure from Tbilisi via Mtskheta to the Greater Caucasus
We will head to the Caucasus along an old military road, now an important link not only to the mountains but also to the Russian border. We will visit the old town of Mtskheta, which we will first see from the top of the Djvari Monastery. Shortly before our destination, the town of Stepantsminda, the Caucasus opens up before us at the viewpoint behind the town of Gudauri.
On the way to Mtskheta and the Caucasus, we will stop at the Chronicle of Georgia - a monument from 1985, which captures on large columns historical moments of Georgia, scenes from the life of the country, but also stories from the pilgrimage of Jesus Christ. From the monument we will have a view of the northern part of the city, which is made up of prefabricated buildings from the Soviet era.

Mccheta is one of the oldest towns in Georgia and is a true historical gem. Here you will be able to see the main cathedral, but also get a view of the city from the Djvari Monastery.

First, we drive up the hill above the town, where we stop at the 6th-century Georgian Orthodox monastery of Dzhvari. It was built on the site where St. Nino, who spread Christianity, erected a wooden cross. The view of Mtskheta and the confluence of the Aragvi and Kura rivers offers a unique opportunity to capture the local landscape with all its important sites. The monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Through streets lined with shops and restaurants, you'll reach the 11th-century Sveticchoveli Cathedral, the place where Georgian kings were crowned. The cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Following an old Georgian military road that leads to the border with Russia, we reach Stepantsminda, a small town in the Kazbegi region on the slopes of the Greater Caucasus. A magical place from where expeditions are organised to Kazbek, the third highest mountain in Georgia and the seventh highest in the Caucasus. A few kilometres away is Georgia's only border crossing with Russia.

Walk along one of the possible paths to reach the Church of the Holy Trinity in Gergeti, a popular excursion site with a church and two bell towers. Here we can also photograph Georgia's third highest mountain, Kazbek.

If you climb to the top, you will have a view of the surrounding landscape lined by the Kura River.

A gentle walk will take you to the central park, where there is a source of warm mineral water, which everyone can draw for free.




A visit to Georgia cannot be without a trip to the rock city of Vardzia. On the way we will stop at the medieval castle of Rabati in Akhaltsikhe. Then we move on to Georgia's second largest city - Kutaisi.
The monastic cave town of Vardzia is one of the most visited places in Georgia. Founded by Queen Tamar in the 12th century, it became a refuge from Mongol raids with 3,000 caves and a place of life for up to 50,000 people. Today, several monks live here.

The medieval castle of Rabati in Achalcich impresses with its mix of different styles and styles. Concerts are held here and a video promoting the beauty of Georgia was filmed here.

Kutaisi is the second largest city in Georgia, recently the seat of the Georgian Parliament, now moved to Tbilisi. The centre, with its park, fountain and bazaar, is a tourist attraction, as are the three most important monuments - Gelati and Motsameta monasteries and Bagrati Cathedral on the hill above the city.

The largest bazaar in Kutaisi next to the main square. Here you will find an amazing selection of vegetables, fruits, nuts and many other things.

Bagrati is an important cathedral on a hill above Kutaisi, which rose from almost complete ruins when it was burned and destroyed by Ottoman troops in the late 17th century. Interestingly, the monument has been expensively and handsomely restored, and modern features have been added. The cathedral offers a panoramic view of the city.




After visiting two beautiful monasteries in Kutaisi, we drive to Ureki - a resort on the Black Sea coast. We will have a relaxing day on the black sand beach.
On a rock above the town stands the small but charming Motsameta Monastery, built in honour of the two brothers David and Constantine, national heroes and saints in the Georgian Orthodox Church.

The Gelati Monastery was the site of the coronation and also the tomb of important kings David IV and George V. Shining. Gelati was also an academy, so the intellectual core of Georgia was accumulated here. Today the site has been thoroughly restored and reconstructed.

A famous Georgian resort with healing black sand beaches.




In the afternoon we can take a dip in the sea and then return to the capital Tbilisi to enjoy the restored old town, shops and say goodbye to Georgia with a view of the city from the Mother Georgia statue.
After returning to the capital of Georgia, we will take a tour of the old town, now reconstructed and saved from destruction.

Not long ago, the old city of Tbilisi was left to its fate with many houses crumbling and threatening to be irretrievably lost. In recent years, however, extensive renovations have been taking place and the appearance of the old monuments is changing.

The statue of the Mother of Georgia was built on the top of Sololaki Hill in 1958, when Tbilisi celebrated the 1,500th anniversary of its founding. The statue symbolizes Georgia's national character: in her left hand she holds a bowl of wine for those who come to the country as friends, and in her right hand she holds a sword for those who wish to come with ill intentions.

The Church of the Holy Mother of God in Bethlehem, a short walk from the statue of Mother Georgia, stands in a quiet spot above the town. Originally an Armenian church, it now serves the Georgian Orthodox Church.

The remains of an old Zoroastrian temple from the time when Georgia was part of the Persian Empire in the Sasanian era (224-651). Entrance is possible by appointment.




We will head to the airport and return home.
