The City-Museum Reserve of Mtskheta

Reviewed By 45adya - Bucharest, Romania

The renovated old houses surrounding the Mtskheta cathedral transformed in small taverns, coffee shops, wine bars and souvenir shops are very offering for many tastes. The cathedral itself with its tall stone wall is majestic. A must see at about 24 km near Tbilisi.

Gergeti Trinity Church

Reviewed By LuizDutraNeto - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

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!

Juta Valley

Reviewed By luissousacunha - Tbilisi, Georgia

Went there in a snow hike this month. Great place, located 2230 m in altitude and in between Kazbegi natural park as a fresh and pure air to breathe. The landscape is overwhelming. If you like fresh air and nature on the best, and also like to walk that's a great place. In the village there's a sauna and some accommodation.

Svetitskhoveli Cathedral

Reviewed By S9788OVmohameds - Alexandria, Egypt

A UNESCO world heritage site. Mtskheta was the capital of Georgia at the time of its glory and this Cathedral is the majestic proof. Built in the early middle ages by the medieval Georgian architect Arsukisdze but the area itself dates back to the 4th century where it's believed to be the burial site of the holy mantle. It is also the burial place of many of the local Kings and queens like Vakhtang Gorgasali, Erekle the 2nd and the interesting tomb of queen Tamar the wife of king George the XI, with writing in old georgian and arabic.

Samtavro Church

Reviewed By W417MHscottb - Royton, United Kingdom

Beautiful interior and exterior, free to visit, must cover knees and women cover their hair to go inside (there are sarongs to borrow at the door) and it’s in a lovely little town.
