About this experience
I invite you to a relaxing trip in hospitable Georgia. It will be pleasant, beautiful, and very beneficial for the soul and body! You will enjoy thermal baths against the backdrop of mountain peaks, immerse yourself in the calming atmosphere of a female monastery, and savor the fresh air of a picturesque canyon. And on the way, I will share interesting stories about the region and its inhabitants.
What to expect
Hot Springs in Vani
You will relax in a bath with a comfortable temperature of 42°C without a strong smell. Hydrogen sulfide water from the depths of the earth calms the nervous system, improves the condition of joints and skin, strengthens nails and hair, normalizes blood pressure, treats musculoskeletal disorders. And most importantly—it gives exceptionally positive emotions!
Ancient Monastery and Unspoiled Beauties
After delighting the body, we will indulge the soul. We will visit the Djikhety monastery—one of the quietest places in Georgia with a soothing atmosphere. Then we will head to the neighboring Guria region for natural beauties, see the small colorful Sakukhia canyon, and witness the unique natural creation—a burning spring. On the way, I will talk about the region and the unusual traditions of the Gurians. On the way back, if you wish, we can visit the archaeological museum in Vani with a very rich exhibition.

Overall, we were satisfied and did not regret the time spent. I recommend visiting both the canyon, the monastery, and the hot springs...

This is not a tour. You will simply have a car with a driver arriving and taking you between 3 points specified in the description. You will not receive any information during the journey, no information about the history or historical events of the region. It is much cheaper and easier to rent a ca...
