Itinerary and details
Breakfast.
At different times, the capital of Georgia was either in Tbilisi or Mtskheta. You can not know the country, if not visit these places.
Tbilisi is the capital of Georgia, which has absorbed so many epochs and cultures that even the locals do not know all the mysteries and secrets that keep the mazes of this warm and beautiful city. Beautiful carved balconies, unique front doors, famous Tbilisi courtyards, this is all what the city is famous for.
"A few years ago,
Where, merging, make noise,
Hugging like two sisters
Jets of Aragva and Kura,
There was a monastery "
These famous lines are written by M.Yu. Lermantov about the Cross Monastery - Jvari, our first stop. Jvari is a 7th century Creche monastery.
Next we will go to Mtskheta, the ancient capital of Georgia and visit the Svetitskhoveli temple, where, according to the tradition, there are many Orthodox values, such as: Christ's chiton, the mantle of Elijah the Prophet, the heel of St. Andrew.
Breakfast.
Kakheti, how much is this word! A few years ago, the whole world recognized that Georgia is the birthplace of wine.
We will begin our tour with a visit to the Kinzmarauli Corporation winery, one of the largest wine producers, where they will tell us the secret of the Georgian wine-making technology.
Next, we will invite you to dinner at the peasant family, where you will be served a traditional table from the Kakhetian mistress (extra charge).

Breakfast.
So much has been said and written about the famous Georgian military road that every day it attracts more and more travelers from around the world.
"Better than mountains, there can only be mountains in which you have not yet been" - the familiar words of Vysotsky. Today we go to the mountains and feel the spirit of freedom.
Our first stop will be in Ananuri, a fortress that served as the main stronghold for the Aragvi Eristaves, the rulers of this region. The fortress arose in the XVI century and over the next two centuries served as the northern outpost of the Transcaucasian defense, blocking the road leading from the Darial Gorge.
Next we will stop at the "Arch of Friendship", which was built as an observation deck in honor of the 100th anniversary of the signing of the St. George Treaty.
The last point of our trip will be Gergeti, located at an altitude of 2,170 m at the foot of Kazbek along the Georgian Military Highway in the Georgian village of Gergeti, just above the village of Stepantsminda. Built in the 14th century, the shrine is the only cross-domed temple in the Hevi region. Near the temple is preserved medieval bell tower.
Breakfast.
Today our first stop will be the famous balneological resort - Borjomi. Borjomi is a resort in the center of Georgia, famous throughout the post-Soviet space for its sources of healing mineral water. The name of the city has two Georgian roots: "borzh" - "fortress, wall" and "omi" - "war, battle". In ancient times, the city of Borjomi was a natural fortress, the walls of which were the mountains of the Caucasus. We will visit the famous Borjomi park with you and taste the water from the Ekaterinensky spring. Next, we will go to the unique Prometheus Cave - Legend has it that somewhere in this area, angry gods chained a young man to a rock because he gave the divine fire to people. For many years, every passing traveler saw all the torment of a recalcitrant youth named Prometheus. In honor of him, former President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili named this karst cave in honor of Prometheus in 2010. And finally - we will walk around the capital of ancient Colchis - the city of Kutaisi.
