Individual excursion for 1-3 people Duration 8 hours Children Allowed with children How it goes By car Rating 4.75 on 20 reviews € 198 per excursion Price for 1-3 people, regardless of the number of participants
For 900 m along the left bank of the Kura in the sheer tuff wall of the mountain, up to 600 rooms have been carved: churches, chapels, residential cells, storerooms, baths, refectories, treasury stores, libraries. The premises of the complex go 50 meters deep into the cliff and rise to a height of eight floors. Secret passages connecting the premises, the remains of the water supply system and the irrigation system have been preserved. A very interesting sight!
Program
On the route we will pass the city famous for the Borjomi mineral water. Let's go straight to the healing spring. Then we will pass Akhaltsikhe and the "Rabat" fortress. The history of the foundation of the fortress goes back to 1578, when the city of Akhaltsikhe was taken by the Ottoman troops.
You will learn a lot of interesting things about the cities that we will meet along the way, important episodes of Georgian history, the legend about why Vardzia is so called, what role it played in the state interests.
If you get hungry, on the way we will stop for a snack in a cozy restaurant.
