Description
Explore the cave monastery of Vardzia, the abandoned village of Ananauri, and the resort town of Borjomi on a day trip. See the Khertvisi and Tmogvi fortresses and visit the Rabat Fortress.
Your journey begins with a stop at the famous resort town of Borjomi. Here, you can taste the legendary mineral water directly from the spring and enjoy a relaxing walk through the picturesque central park to see a beautiful waterfall and the striking statue of Prometheus.
Next, you will visit the grand, beautifully restored Rabat Fortress in Akhaltsikhe, where Christian and Islamic architecture blend in a fascinating way.
As you drive deeper into the region, you will catch sight of the dramatic, rugged silhouettes of the abandoned medieval fortresses Khertvisi and Tmogvi, which guarded these valleys for centuries.
Then comes the most exclusive part of the tour—a visit to Ananauri. This abandoned cave village is a truly hidden gem that tourists completely miss and only locals know about. Stepping off the beaten path into this secret rock settlement, you will explore silent, untouched grottoes and see the oldest bakery in the country.
Finally, you will reach the legendary cave monastery complex of Vardzia, constructed in the 12th century during the Golden Age of Queen Tamar. Wander through secret tunnels, explore multi-tiered rock labyrinths, and witness unique, ancient frescoes inside the main church, carved entirely into the monolith rock
