Description

Explore the Martvili Canyon, Prometheus Cave, and hot springs on a guided tour. Learn about the Colchian culture and its influence on Greek mythology.
Begin your adventure with a visit to the Martvili Canyon, one of the most beautiful spots in Western Georgia. For thousands of years, water carved its way through limestone to create this natural wonder. Take a boat ride along the sheer cliffs and watch how the river turns into a waterfall as it leaves the canyon. See ancient fossils preserved deep inside the gorge.

Next, head to the Prometheus Cave, the largest of over a thousand caves in Imereti. Be amazed by impressive stalactites and stalagmites forming frozen stone waterfalls and underground lakes whose surfaces have never seen sunlight. From the cave, enjoy a boat ride along the underground river.

Relax in the thermal springs, where the temperature of the hot springs is around 70°C (158°F). However, where they mix with the waters of the mountain river, the temperature becomes perfect and pleasant for the human body. Soak in natural therapeutic pools, admire the surrounding nature, and recharge your energy.

During the trip, learn about the Georgian mindset, family ties, and the origins of the Georgian language. Discover who the Kartvelians are, hear local legends, and touch the legacy of Colchian culture that inspired the Greek myth of the Argonauts. Try to guess what was transported in the amphorae found at the bottom of Lake Paliastomi.
