Highlights
- Sataplia Cave and Nature Reserve - Sataplia Managed Reserve is located in Tskaltubo municipality, Imereti region, where the footprints of Herbivorous and Raptor dinosaurs of different epochs are found. Sataplia dinosaurs are called “Satapliazaurus” and are different from Europian dinosaurs.
- Kutaisi - Kutaisi is one of the most ancient cities in the world and the third-most populous city in Georgia, traditionally, second in importance, after the capital city of Tbilisi. Situated 221 kilometres (137 miles) west of Tbilisi, on the Rioni River, it is the capital of the western region of Imereti.
- Motsameta Monastery - Motsameta monastery is a complex of monasteries at the Imereti region. Its name, whose meaning is the “Place of the Martyrs”, is related to the brothers of a noble family of Argveti, David and Constantine, who organized a rebellion against the occupying Arabs in the 8th century.
- Bagrati Cathedral - The Cathedral of the Dormition, or the Kutaisi Cathedral, more commonly known as Bagrati Cathedral is an 11th-century cathedral in the city of Kutaisi, in the Imereti region of Georgia. A masterpiece of the medieval Georgian architecture, the cathedral suffered heavy damage throughout centuries and was reconstructed to its present state through a gradual process starting in the 1950s, with controversial conservation works concluding in 2012. These works prompted UNESCO to remove the Cathedral from its list of World Heritage sites. A distinct landmark in the scenery of central Kutaisi, the cathedral rests on the Ukimerioni Hill.
- Gelati Monastery - Gelati is a medieval monastic complex near Kutaisi in the Imereti region of western Georgia. Built in the Georgian Golden Age, Gelati was founded in 1106 by King David IV of Georgia and is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Don’t miss out on the luxurious greenness of Kutaisi - I’m so impressed by the quality of these tours. This included Ubisa monastery as well as the other significant sites mentioned in the itinerary- i was dazzled…
But the whole day was enriching: a good natured and informative guide makes all the difference, so I felt very lucky to be there with David. He made sure that we proceeded at a relaxed pace and that there was enough time at each stop to take in the sights and surroundings. In terms of knowledge, he’s like a living book!
If you’re in Tbilisi and curious about the rest of Georgia, it’s definitely worth making the time to take this day trip.
