Excursion Tbilisi + Mtskheta

At different times, the capital of Georgia was either Tbilisi or Mtskheta. You can't get to know the country without visiting these places.
Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia, which has absorbed so many eras and cultures that even local residents do not know all the mysteries and secrets that the labyrinths of this warm and beautiful city keep. Beautiful carved balconies, unique front doors, famous Tbilisi courtyards, this is what the city is famous for.
"A few years ago,
Where, merging, rustle,
Embracing like two sisters,
The streams of the Aragvi and Kura,
There was a monastery"
These famous lines were written by M. Yu. Lermontov about the cross monastery - Jvari, our first stop. Jvari is a cross monastery of the 7th century.
Next we will go to Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia, and visit the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, where, according to legend, many Orthodox treasures are located, such as: the tunic of Christ, the mantle of Elijah the Prophet, and the heel of Andrew the First-Called.
