Our first view of Vardzia took our breathe away. Originally, this medieval cave city was invisible from the road but an earthquke has left the remaining half exposed and it makes a very dramatic scene. It is impossible to visit all the caves in one day but, if you follow the main path through you will see examples of dwellings, wineries, stores, churches and meeting halls that certainly give a good flavour of what life must have been like. I recommend the 1 lari (about 30pence) bus ride up to the caves from the ticket office because the climb is very strenuous. You can book a return but we came down through the steep, very low tunnels and had back-ache for two days! Nonetheless, an excellent experience.

The Fortress (Castle) of Rabati, located on the left bank of the Potskovi River, was one of the most amazing sites that we visited during our trip to Georgia. Renovated by the Ottoman rulers around 17th and 18th centuries. A great place for a tour and enjoy the wonderful gardens and the beautiful buildings as well as the wonderful view from the roof of the castle and the walls that surrounds this amazing site. NOT 2 B MISSED.

Hidden away at the end of a windy road in a beautiful peaceful location. We were lucky to have one of the monks come over to open the church for us and tell us about the history of this 9th century place with lovely frescoes. In need of more restoration s we were happy to make a donation

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.
