TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Stand on glass high above a deep green gorge at Dashbashi Canyon, where a diamond-shaped bridge with a suspended café spans the cliffs. Walking trails descend to a waterfall amid wildflowers below.
Cross the windswept Javakheti plateau, a high volcanic land of mirror-like lakes, grazing herds and big skies, scattered with ancient churches and the cave city of Vardzia on its southern edge.
Stand before Vardzia, the astonishing 12th-century cave city of Queen Tamar, carved across thirteen levels into a mountainside. Explore tunnels, chapels and frescoes that once sheltered a whole community on the road through Georgia’s deep south.
Wander the beautifully restored Rabati Castle in Akhaltsikhe, a fortress where Georgian, Ottoman and Persian styles meet in a maze of courtyards, minarets and ramparts overlooking the southern hills.
