5 Days (Kutaisi to Tbilisi) – West, South and Centre

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.

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.

Explore Uplistsikhe, one of the oldest settlements in Georgia, a whole town carved into a riverside cliff. Wander halls, a theatre, wine cellars and pagan altars cut from the rock, spanning three thousand years of history in a single hillside.

Experience the vibrant energy of Georgia’s capital. From the ancient Narikala Fortress and the historic sulphur baths to glass bridges and trendy cafés, Tbilisi is a city where Silk Road history meets contemporary flair. Wander its cobblestone streets and discover hidden courtyards full of character.
