Nature and Shrines of Borjomi

What to Expect

Monasteries in the Borjomi Gorge Forests
In one of Georgia's tourist corners, not the most famous holy places are 'hidden', captivating with silence and their location. You will visit the most significant of them.

• In the Monastery of Seraphim of Sarov, you will learn why this Russian saint is so revered by Georgians, about his life and ascent 'from strength to strength'. The monastery is small, but its territory is organized in the image of places where the elder preached: you will see a prayer stone and a recreated cell of Seraphim of Sarov.
• In the Green Monastery, you will learn the history of a typical 9-10th-century basilica and the sad legend of bright red boulders - visible in the local river. Here you can also collect holy water from natural springs.

Nature Bathing and Authentic Borjomi

In the valley where Borjomi is located, you will find a picturesque city park with a waterfall. You will learn how the famous mineral water was discovered, and about its healing properties. And afterward, you can bathe and taste Borjomi from the sources - cold and warm.
