Embark on a comprehensive day-long excursion to explore the area surrounding Mtskheta, which encompasses the Armaziskhevi archaeological site and the ancient Georgian kingdom's former capital, Mtskheta. The region's rich history is reflected in its monuments, including the Jvari Monastery, and the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, all of which are recognized by UNESCO as excellent representations of medieval religious architecture in the Caucasus.
During the tour, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Georgia and witness the architectural marvels that have stood the test of time.
Enjoy your day!
At 9:00 in the morning, you will be picked up from your hotel to begin your tour. Your first destination is the Jvari Monastery, located on a hilltop, offering a breathtaking panoramic view. This stone masterpiece of early Christian architecture serves as a perfect orientation point to the places you will visit. The Armaziskhevi excavation site, situated only 5 minute's drive from Mtskheta, showcases the area's settlement history from the Bronze and early Iron Ages, including stories of elitism, Roman and pre-Christian culture in the region. Conclude your day by visiting Svetitskhoveli in Mtskheta. Drive back to Tbilisi. End of the tour.
Picture this: ancient fortresses, lively cities, rugged rock formations, and cascading waterfalls, all woven into a history that shaped civilizations. Now add in a splash of local wine, a hands-on cooking class, and unforgettable connections with locals — could there be a better way to spend seven days in Georgia? Absolutely not. Walk the halls of centuries-old churches and fortresses, tracing the footsteps of those who came before. Marvel at sweeping river gorges and dramatic mountain landscapes. Savour the rich flavours of Georgia, from perfectly folded khinkali dumplings to regional wines that have been crafted and perfected over generations. This isn’t just a trip — it’s a journey through time, culture, and the heart of the Caucasus. Enjoy every second.
