Going to Georgia and missing Davit Gareja is the equivalent of skipping the Sistine chapel when in Vatican.
Gareja. a semi-arid desert on the frontier of Georgia and Azerbaijan, 60 km south east of T'bilisi, has been a home for ascetic monks since the first foundation of a monastery there in the 6th century.
There’re many reasons why this is not just another cave complex similar to the many others throughout the whole Georgia and in the Middle East in general: original 10th century religious mural paintings, preserved on the cave walls, the “one third of Jerusalem” legend, the wild beauty of the desert.

One of the most romantic fortified churches in Georgia, Ananuri is located on the shores of an artificial mountain lake on the way to Kazbegi. The fort is on the main road between two mountain villages, but there’s no bus stop, so a little hitchhiking on the way back may be needed.
Apart from the landscape and the church itself, you may want to:
-look for the mongoloid appearance of the reliefs of the saints on the church outside walls (apparently, to prevent the church from being destroyed by the Mongol invasions, based on the speculation “hey, they look like us”)
-swim in the mountain lake and sunbath on its shores, just outside the fort Leave a Comment

The most attractive towns in the Kakheti region in Western Georgia, Sighnaghi,with its medieval city walls and parks, with its charming old quarter dating from the 18th century, unspoiled by soviet civilisation, certainly does have its character.
In addition, you can get unique and memorable accomodation, and affodable trips to the surroundings.
Can visit my Sighnaghi page for further info. Leave a Comment

Udabno monastery is located on a ridge high above the first monastery, the Lavra. It is made up of caves cut into the rocks across more than 500m of the cliff face. More than fifty rock-cut chambers, including churches, chapels, cells and a refectory survive, although the fronts of many have collapsed over the centuries. Wall paintings from the ninth or tenth century to the thirteenth survive in eight of the churches and chapels and also in the monks’ refectory. Leave a Comment

Kutaisi is one of the most ancient cities in the world (almost 4000 yo) and today is the second largest city in Georgia (although is may not compete with vibrant Tbilisi and vivid Batumi). There are lots of sights in Kutaisi and in the surrounding area (Bagrati cathedral and palace, Ukimerioni Hill, Rioni riverside walks, Gelati and Motsameta monasteries), so a few days are worth it by all means.
You can visit my Kutaisi page for further info. Leave a Comment
