Day 1: At the Roots of History (Mtskheta, Jvari, Gori, and Uplistsikhe)

Begin your journey at the Jvari Monastery, perched on a mountaintop where St. Nino erected the first cross. Enjoy the view of the confluence of the Aragvi and Kura rivers.

Next, head to Mtskheta and visit the country's main cathedral, where the Lord's Tunic is kept. Stroll through the cozy streets of the "Georgian Jerusalem."

Day 2: The Heart of Armenia (Haghpat, Sanahin, and Sevan)

Cross the border and immerse yourself in the culture of the "Land of Stones." Visit Haghpat and Sanahin, two masterpieces of medieval architecture listed by UNESCO. These monasteries were centers of science and literature in Armenia.

Next, head to Lake Sevan, the "Blue Pearl" of the Caucasus. Climb to the Sevanavank Monastery on the peninsula to admire the endless expanse of the high-mountain lake.

Drive through the wooded gorge of the "Armenian Switzerland" and arrive in Yerevan for an overnight stay.

Day 3: Yerevan - The Pink City (The Capital and Cognac Traditions)

Explore the tuff architecture and rhythm of the Armenian capital. Visit Republic Square, the heart of the city with its famous singing fountains and pink tuff buildings.

Climb the Cascade, a huge staircase-museum in the open air, offering panoramic views of the city and the biblical Mount Ararat.

Shop for handmade souvenirs at the Vernissage Market and tour the Ararat Factory for a tasting of the legendary Armenian cognac.

In the evening, transfer back to Georgia.

Day 4: Legends of the Mountains (Georgian Military Highway and Kazbegi)

Drive along one of the most beautiful roads in the world. Stop by the turquoise reservoir at Zhinvali and explore the medieval fortress at Ananuri.

See the confluence of two rivers in Pasanauri and climb to the Friendship of Peoples Monument in Gudauri at an altitude of 2,384 meters.

Take jeeps to the Gergeti Trinity Church above the clouds, offering the best views of Mount Kazbek (5,033 meters).

Day 5: Colors of Kakheti (Bodbe and Sighnaghi)

Visit the Bodbe Monastery, the holy resting place of St. Nino, the enlightener of Georgia. Stroll through the cypress gardens.

Continue to Sighnaghi, the "City of Love," a charming town with tiled roofs in the style of southern Italy.

Walk along a section of the longest wall in Georgia and climb the watchtowers to see the Alazani Valley at a glance.
