Detailed itinerary

Borjomi Central Park — A Journey into Nature and Healing Waters

During our visit to Borjomi Central Park, you'll step into one of Georgia’s most famous and historic resorts, surrounded by lush greenery and fresh mountain air. We'll stroll through beautifully landscaped paths lined with ancient trees, visit the legendary mineral water springs, and even have the chance to taste Borjomi mineral water straight from its natural source — fresher and richer than anything bottled!

Rabati Castle — A Crossroads of Cultures and Centuries

Perched atop the hills of Akhaltsikhe in southern Georgia, Rabati Castle stands as a testament to the region's rich and diverse history. Originally constructed in the 9th century and known as Lomsia, the fortress has undergone numerous transformations, reflecting the influences of Georgian, Ottoman, and Russian rule. Today, it serves as a vibrant cultural complex that seamlessly blends ancient architecture with modern amenities.

Vardzia is a remarkable cave monastery complex located near Aspindza in southern Georgia. Carved into the cliffs of the Erusheti Mountain along the Mtkvari River, this 12th-century marvel offers visitors a unique glimpse into Georgia's medieval history and architectural ingenuity.
