I will tell you about Georgia's prehistoric past, cultural development, formation of a unified kingdom, and paganism that has been around for over 3000 years.
- Mineral spring. Upon reaching the city, we will take a walking tour. We will visit the central park where you can taste mineral water from the spring. You will learn how and when it was discovered, its military connections, the healing properties of Borjomi water, and why this place is so popular.
- Green Monastery. This is one of the oldest male monasteries in Georgia and an excellent example of construction in harmony with nature.
