Tour to Martvili Canyon and Prometheus Cave from Batumi

What to Expect

The Lost World of Martvili Canyon
You will find yourself in one of the most beautiful and mysterious places of western Georgia - Martvili Canyon, where the great king of united Georgia, Davit Agmashenebeli, spent his childhood. Over thousands of years, water has carved its way through soft limestone to create this natural wonder that will transport you to a fairytale world far from civilization. You will sail on a boat along the sheer cliffs, see the underground river that turns into a waterfall at the exit of the canyon, and also explore the fossils preserved in the depths of the canyon.

Descent into Prometheus Cave
Out of thousands of caves in Imereti, Prometheus Cave is the largest and most impressive. Inside, you will be amazed by the forms of stalactites and stalagmites that create frozen stone waterfalls, breathe in healing air, and see underground lakes that have never been touched by sunlight. And after that, you can float out of the cave on a boat along the underground river.

Cultural Features and Legends of Georgia
During the journey, we will talk about the peculiarities of the Georgian people, their kinship ties, and the origin of the Georgian language. You will learn who the Kartvelians are, hear local legends, touch the heritage of the Colchian culture that inspired the Greeks to create the myth of the Argonauts, and try to guess what was transported in the amphorae found at the bottom of Lake Paleostomi (a Greek word meaning 'old fortress'). I will also tell you about the mythical city of Phasis and guide you through the border between East and West, running along the Rioni River.
