Individual excursion in Kutaisi and surroundings

Program

• The guided tour of the capital of western Georgia, Kutaisi, will start with a visit to the Bagrati Cathedral (XI c.) - the city's landmark. This magnificent cathedral, decorated with carvings and mosaics, played an exceptional role in the medieval history of Georgia. David IV the Builder was crowned here.
• After visiting the cathedral, we will go to the Museum of History and Ethnography and take a stroll through old Kutaisi, which has preserved its medieval appearance and atmosphere.
• You will visit a spring arranged in a sheer cliff by ancient rulers over a thousand years ago, which is accessed by a secret passage. From here, in the Middle Ages, people took water, and it was one of the main water pipelines of the city.
• After lunch, we will head to the Motsameta Monastery (IX c.), where the remains of the defenders of Imereti from the Arab invasion - the princes Mkhedze - are buried.
• We will also visit the Gelati Monastery (XII c.), founded by David the Builder.
• The excursion will end with dinner at a restaurant with national color.
