In principle, the way it really is. But, most importantly, the Green Monastery is a very ancient abode, which, despite many tragic moments in its history, continues to operate today and attracts a great many pilgrims.

And the final point is the rocky town of Vardzia. Vardzia is located 18 km from Akhalkalaki, in close proximity to the border with Turkey.
