TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Step inside the UNESCO-listed Gelati Monastery near Kutaisi, founded by King David the Builder. Marvel at its golden medieval mosaics and frescoes, once the heart of a famous academy known as “a new Athens.”
Descend into the Prometheus Cave, a vast network of illuminated halls, stalactites and underground rivers near Kutaisi, finishing with a short boat ride through the glowing passages.
Glide by boat through Martvili Canyon, a gorge of mossy marble walls and clear jade-green water once reserved for local nobility. Above, paths lead past small waterfalls and pools.
Walk the vertigo-inducing cliff-edge walkway of Okatse Canyon, suspended high above the river, then visit the tiered Kinchkha Waterfall tumbling through the forest nearby.
