Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
The driver will meet you at your hotel in Tbilisi or in the city center with a sign with your name on it for an unforgettable journey to the Bodbe Monastery of St. Nino and the city of Sighnaghi.
2
Bodbe Nunnery is the place where Saint Nino was buried in the 4th century; Saint Nino was a woman who converted Georgian religion into Christianity. You can imagine how difficult it could be at that time when everybody was pagan. It is one of the most religious places where Georgians go on pilgrimage and ask for forgiveness. Apart from a religious function, the nunnery is a perfect place for taking pictures. Dozens of nuns take care of the place, and it is always clean and beautiful whenever you go there.
3
Sighnaghi is a city of love; it is famous for the wedding house where you can get married 24/7, numerous romantic stories, and unique history that make this city so special. Sighnaghi is known for its wall as well; it is called Georgia's Great Wall. The wall is much shorter than the Chinese Great Wall, but we shouldn't forget about the massive difference between these two populations. In Sighnaghi, you also learn the history of WWII: how it influenced Georgia and Georgia-Russia relations. Georgia is a country where the essential part of the Caucasus Mountains stands. From Sighnaghi, it is possible to observe a great view of the Caucasus Ranges and take many beautiful pictures.
