Mineral waters, wine and khachapuri in the homeland of Mayakovsky

What to expect

Poet of the revolution's homeland
Mayakovsky's house-museum is located in the town of Bagdadi, and here everything is just as it was when the poet's family lived. A cozy yard with centuries-old trees, a carved balcony-gallery, authentic furniture in the living room and bedrooms. You will immerse yourself in the story of the poet's father, mother, and Mayakovsky himself, who, like his parents, spoke Georgian well. The old walls of the house are imbued with the spirit of that time, the silence and tranquility of life surrounded by shaggy mountains. The creak of the floors, a bright quilt on the bed, patterns on the wooden tabletops will help discover new tones in Mayakovsky's poems. And not far from the museum, you will see a tribute to the poet - a monument to him was erected in Bagdadi in 1965.

Land of deer - sanatorium for high-ranking officials
From Bagdadi, we will travel through a beautiful gorge to the resort of Udabno, where once the remains of Udabnopitek, one of the human ancestors, were found. From there, we will go to Sairme, to its mineral springs. Sairme was called 'the land where deer roam', but today it is famous for its thermal waters. During the Soviet years, high-ranking party leaders came here for restorative treatment, and now any traveler can relax in Sairme, try different types of healing water, and even bathe. Optionally, you will not only try the mineral water, but also the excellent wine of this region, paired with khachapuri.
