Beauties of Mountain Adjara

What to Expect

Region's History
Georgian-Turkish border often serves as the starting point for various routes, embodying a contrast of religions: on the Georgian side - an Orthodox church, on the Turkish side - a mosque. In 800 meters from the border stands the monument to Andrew the First-Called, symbolizing the path to Iberia, which the apostle followed after the Ascension. Famous words "The road of Georgia is the road of enlightenment of Andrew the First-Called" - refer to this area. On the tour, you will learn about the region's development, the legends and myths surrounding its history, and who the Adjarians are.
