This day tour takes you to one of the most beautiful places in Georgia, specifically to locations in south Kakheti, and allows you to discover a small historical region known as Kiziki. Your first destination will be the town of Dedoplistskaro, the location of Vashlovani National Park's visitors center. Visit two important places located close to Dedoplistskaro. The first one is the Eagle Canyon, known for its amazing views of the Alazani Valley. This place is loved by birdwatchers and if your tour falls in spring you will get to many different-colored flowers as well.
Khornabuji Fortress is another attraction that you will see today. This fortress was made in the fifth century and is located on a steep rock. Please note that climbing to the fortress is quite difficult. The next destination on the itinerary will be Bodbe Monastery (nunnery). This is where saint Nino of Kabadokia, one of the most respected saints in Georgia, passed away. This nunnery is located near Signagi. The main church was constructed in the 11th century and has interesting medieval wall paintings.
The last destination will be the cozy, late-medieval town Signagi. Explore its narrow streets as you take in the beauty of this town. You have two options in Signagi. The first one involves a visit to a local museum, which houses a collection of paintings by famous Georgian painter Niko Pirosmani. The other option is to head for the famous Okro’s winery where you can have lunch and taste wine.
