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.

Absolutely breathtaking! Caucasian mountains are one of the most beautiful. Highly recommend to visit, even if just day trip from Tbilisi.

Just have returned from long weekend tour to Abkhazia. Stayed for three night at the town of Novy Afon (New Athos), there a plenty of places of interest located, with Anacopia Fortress on the hill, above everything around. Our guide dropped us to the beginning of the way up by his jeep ( very experienced man of 50, strongly recommend if you’d like privacy and professional service, PM for the contacts. pls) Cold and rainy morning we climed up the path and crossed the ticket point ( for free as it was closed:). Not easy to get there but the whole way is stunnind and the views are really breathtaking. It is really worth a visit, first for it's historical nature. Possibly it was established around the 2nd century AD and looks like an abandoned Roman fortress or Scotch castle. Limestone bricks with green ivy on, the path surrounded by old trees makes the way up the steep slope more and more exciting each step. There is an old chirch ( still working like piligrims worship site) on the top, and a castle a bit higher. Wooden steps leads you to the roof with four flags on the corners. A spectacular 360 degree view of New Athos and nice view of the mountains from this site is really worth to do such a long walk up! By the way, no need any transportation to get from the town to the fortress if you in a good fit condition and have normal trekking shoes. At each curve of the road you may find house wine for very funny price. 4-5 road bends and your mood is getting higher after each degustation:) ( Avoid overdrinking — it makes your descend a bit troubling:). No need to carry much water if you prefer drinking it more than wine — the well with holy water ( cold and fresh, definetely unusual taste) is near the chirch. No restritions, no irritating people, no criminals. Safe and wonderfull place ( like the whole Abkhazia country) is there. What to pay attention: have good boots as the road is partially destroyed, with many sharp rocks, slipppery when wet. Mind the preciepice on the other side of the fortress — dangerous place to get close. The whole hike from the town and back took four hours ( including wine stops:), with long rest on the top. Strongly recommenfd this beautiful place, you won’t regret!

Near the Georgian village of Gergeti, at the top of a hill of 2,170 meters, in the vastness of the Caucasus Mountains and emoldurated by the awesome "Mount Kazbek", you will find the miraculous "Gergeti Trinity Church", also known as the "Holy Trinity Church". It dates from the 14th century, a very simple and isolated church, but very active as a religious temple of the "Georgian Orthodox and Apostolic Church". Visit the church, its separate bell tower and, principally, contemplate the beauty of the astonishing scenic mountains just in front of your eyes. Say a prayer and be thankful. "Gergeti Trinity Church" is a symbol of Georgia and one of the most impacting images I have ever saved in my travelling memories. Enjoy!

Hiking to the Black grouse waterfall was really nice experience for me and for my Latvian colleagues. The amazing nature, untouchable forest, morning singing birds, tree bridges over the river and the final destination- black grouse waterfall creates mystic and unforgettable atmosphere. I will come back for sure and my next destination definitely will be Black rock lakes
