Davit Tsiklauri

Discover an extraordinary adventure through Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi, where historical significance and breathtaking landscapes await. This tour offers a profound immersion into the past, along with awe-inspiring natural beauty that will undoubtedly create lasting memories.



Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of Georgia, where ancient history, captivating architecture, and breathtaking landscapes converge to create an unforgettable experience. This tour explores three of Georgia's most iconic destinations: Vardzia, Rabati, and Borjomi.

Our expedition commences with a visit to Vardzia, an ancient cave monastery carved into the rugged slopes of the Erusheti Mountain in southern Georgia. Dating back to the 12th century, Vardzia stands as a remarkable testament to Georgian medieval architecture and monastic life. Carved into the sheer rock face, this expansive complex includes hundreds of caves, chapels, and tunnels, transforming into a labyrinthine wonderland housing thousands of monks and pilgrims.

Upon entering Vardzia, admire the intricate frescoes adorned on the walls, depicting scenes from Georgian religious and secular life. Ascend to the upper levels for panoramic views of the surrounding valley, where the Mtkvari River meanders through lush greenery, and rugged cliffs rise majestically against the sky.

Following our exploration of Vardzia, our journey proceeds to the historic town of Akhaltsikhe, home to the magnificent Rabati Fortress. Initially constructed in the 9th century and later expanded by various empires, including the Ottomans and Russians, Rabati Fortress exemplifies the diversity of Georgia's cultural heritage. Wander through the labyrinthine streets of the fortress, where medieval towers coexist harmoniously with Ottoman mosques, Georgian churches, and Russian barracks. Marvel at the intricately carved facades and ornate decorations that tell stories of centuries of conquest and cultural exchange.

Next, we venture towards the verdant valleys of Borjomi, a picturesque resort town renowned for its mineral springs and lush forests. Nestled in the heart of the Borjomi Gorge, Borjomi offers a tranquil retreat from the urban chaos of modern life. Enjoy a leisurely stroll through the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, savoring the crisp mountain air and hearing the gentle sound of the Borjomi River as it winds its way through the valley.

No visit to Borjomi would be complete without experiencing its famous mineral waters, known for their therapeutic properties since ancient times. Indulge in a relaxing soak in the warm mineral baths or enjoy a rejuvenating massage amidst the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape.

This comprehensive tour of Georgia's cultural gems promises an immersive experience, combining historical insights, architectural marvels, and natural splendor to create memories that last a lifetime.
