This excursion to Borjomi, Vardzia, and Rabati takes you on a captivating journey through picturesque southern Georgia, where pristine nature, centuries of history, and unique architectural monuments beautifully intertwine to showcase the country's rich cultural heritage. Your adventure begins at the world-renowned balneological resort of Borjomi, famous for its healing mineral springs and scenic town park nestled among pine forests and mountain slopes. Here you'll stroll through shaded pathways, taste authentic Borjomi water straight from the source, and breathe in the crisp mountain air.
Next, your route leads to one of medieval Georgia's most mysterious and impressive monuments - the ancient cave monastery complex of Vardzia, carved directly into a sheer cliff face in the 12th century during Queen Tamar's reign. This unique fortress-city contains hundreds of chambers connected by secret passages, staircases, and tunnels, preserving the atmosphere of bygone eras.
The program concludes with a visit to the magnificently restored Rabati Fortress in Akhaltsikhe - a true architectural masterpiece where Georgian, Ottoman, and European influences harmoniously blend.
