GEORGIAN CULTURE AND TRADITIONS - MTSKHETA + GURAMISHVILI MARANI + FOLK ENSEMBLE / Price - 610 $

Georgian culture, traditions and heritage span many millennia and are handed down from generation to generation. It is impossible to feel the country if you do not plunge into its traditions and culture, which we will invite you to do today.
Our tour begins with a meeting with a guide and a driver in the lobby of your hotel. We will make the first stop in our program in Jvari, a cross monastery, to which such famous lines by M.Yu. Lermontov:
"A few years ago,
Where, merging, they make noise
Hugging like two sisters
Jets of Aragva and Hens,
There was a monastery "
On the observation deck, Jvari offers stunning views of the city of Mtskheta and the Svetitskhoveli temple, which will be our next stop on the Route.
Svetitskhoveli, according to legend, was built according to the order of St. Nino, the Patriarchal Cathedral of the Georgian Orthodox Church in honor of the Twelve Apostles, in the city of Mtskheta, which for thousands of years has been the main cathedral of all of Georgia.
Then we walk along the streets of Mtskheta, a city included in the UNESCO cultural heritage, try Turkish coffee in the sand and buy famous Georgian souvenirs.

The next and final destination of our trip will be an unusual winery with a cozy interior of Guramishvili Marani. Here we will try some of the best Georgian wines. We will also take part in the preparation of Georgian bread “shoti” and the famous sweets “churchkhela”.
