Green (Mtsvane) Monastery

Reviewed By LJavakhishvili - Tbilisi, Georgia

Beautiful place in the wood. After visiting the monastery you can have a picnic in the wood or near the small river. You can just bring a hammock and just read a book or have a nap.

Cultural Heritage Monument Firuza

Reviewed By KPR1955 - Crewe, United Kingdom

What a delightful architectural piece to come across whilst sauntering down the street. There are no specific signposts pointing it out, but it is really a special building. It reminded me of a mixture between some of the mosque details from Iran and wonderful woodwork in the Shah's Palace hotel in Baku. Splendid

Khertvisi Fortress

Reviewed By TheLush101 - Cardiff, United Kingdom

We were in the area back in September 2019 and were driving to Vardzia. The fortress is just off the junction with the main road where you turn to head to Vardzia Monastery. We'd already visited some fortresses so decided not to stop and just took pictures as we drove past. If you're into fortresses, then this one looks great as a lot of it is still standing and they're also restoring the rest. Definitely worth a stop off if you're on the way to Vardzia and have time - it's easy to get to and also in a stunning location to take photos.
