DAY 2 TBILISI – MTSKHETA
- Breakfast at the hotel.
- Transfer on an excursion to the ancient city museum of Mtskheta.
- Mtskheta is an ancient city museum, the former capital of East Georgia.
- Visiting the ancient and unique Jvari Monastery and Svetitskhoveli (both monuments enter world heritage of UNESCO) enter the obligatory program for any guest of Georgia.
- Jvari – the first monastery of Georgia, 5-6 century. Exactly here St. Nino set up the cross from a grapevine and began to preach Christianity. Lermontov lodged the Novice here and described a beautiful view which opens from this Saint for all Georgians of the place in the poem.
- Svetitskhoveli – central cathedral Georgia, the 10th century. Here were crowned and buried kings. Unique frescos and shrines of the world orthodox culture are stored in the walls of this monastery.
- Visit to a wine cellar. Homemade wine of 2 varieties - red, white and chacha. The winemaker will tell the history of grape culture and wine production in Georgia. Lunch and master classes of Georgian cuisine. Learning to cook Khinkali.
- Transfer to Tbilisi.
- Sightseeing tour across Tbilisi:
- If you have not yet been to the capital of Georgia, and you are interested in urban planning and the history of architecture, a walking tour of Old Tbilisi is definitely for you!
- Where else can you take a selfie against the backdrop of the ancient 12th century Metekhi Temple and colorful carved balconies at the same time?
- After admiring the magnificent panorama of the Old City, from here we will go by cable car to the Narikala Fortress, the main citadel for many centuries. Then we will go down the narrow cobbled streets and visit the only mosque in Tbilisi. Going deeper along the Fig Gorge, we will see a small Legvtakhevi waterfall — a rare phenomenon within the city.
- The next stop of our walking tour - "Abanotubani" (literally "bath district") — is known for its healing sulfur baths. Previously, they served not only as centers for personal care and recuperation (the forerunners of modern spas), but also provided an opportunity for interesting public meetings. And what a delicious lemonade they serve there nowadays! Those who wish can look inside and book a room in the famous sulfur baths at a convenient time. Don't forget to order mekise services as well - a special type of massage and peeling, without which the local bath is inconceivable. (A visit to the sulfur baths is paid extra).
- We will definitely walk along the pedestrian “Bridge of Peace”, which stretches over the Mtkvari River — it will definitely be remembered for its futuristic design, which stands out from the general architectural ensemble of our capital.
- The Temple of Sioni (XVII century) will not be left without our attention. Being the main Orthodox Cathedral and the residence of the Patriarch - Catholicos of Georgia until the construction of the Holy Trinity Church in 2004, it is an important landmark of the city.
- We will also definitely see the oldest surviving temple in Tbilisi — Anchiskhati (VI century BC).
- And how to walk indifferently past the clock tower of the famous Rezo Gabriadze Puppet Theater? This amazing object, of course, is included in the tour route. (Overnight at the Hotel in Tbilisi).
