Additional Information

You’ll initially leave Tbilisi for the Samtskhe-Javakheti region to explore the city of Borjomi, known for its renowned natural mineral water resort. Later, proceed to Akhaltsikhe, home to the historic Rabath Fortress. Constructed during the Ottoman empire, it stands out as one of the rare structures that have withstood the test of time. Throughout the journey, you’ll be treated to the stunning sceneries of Georgian rural terrain and at a leisurely pace, advance to the cave city of Vardzia.

Vardzia, a site of significant importance to Queen Tamar, consists of roughly 500 caves, a sharp reduction from the original 3000. The local medieval culture is exemplified by the existence of a library, pharmacy, and other compartments, while the rock-cut church still stands, complete with frescoes. Walk through the old habitats and tunnels for a glimpse of times past.

Begin your journey through these mid-century wonders for an unrivaled experience.

After this, make your way back to Tbilisi.
