Discover Tbilisi
Tbilisi was a vital crossroads for the Silk Road long ago, and it has ever since been a city where different cultures come together. Explore a mix of architecture, cuisine, and energy truly unlike any other as you take a guided walking tour of the city today. Stroll the cobblestoned streets, see the Metekhi Church, and wander through several important districts. Take a dip in the soothing sulphur baths, then snap some photos from the panoramic Mt. Mtatsminda viewpoint. You’ll have free time in the afternoon to wander as you please, lingering to admire the pastel-washed buildings or the river dividing the city.

Caves, Cable Cars, and Capitals
Leaving Tbilisi this morning, head to the mining town of Chiatura up north. Until recently, the only public access to this town was using cable cars, which were called “Stalin’s caskets” due to their appearance and creation under Stalin’s rule. Once you’ve had your fill of this somewhat dystopian town, you’ll stop at Katskhi Pillar, where a hermit monk comes down from his perch once a week to pray with his followers. Next, you’ll explore the Promethe Karst Caves before checking into your hotel in Kutaisi. Years and years ago, this town was said to be where the Argonauts came to look for the golden fleece.

Okatse Canyon and Boat Tour
Start today with a visit to the local farmer’s market (a perfect excuse to stock up on local snacks), then take a tour of Okatse Canyon. You’ll trek over a 2300m stone pathway that traverses the forest park of Dadiani. Once you reach the centre of the canyon, you’ll hike a thrilling 780m hanging cliff trail, descending 989 metal steps. You’ll be handsomely rewarded for your efforts with a panoramic view. To cap off your day, you’ll go on a boat tour in Martvili Canyon and have a tea tasting at a local tea farm.

Continue following the Old Georgian Military Road, stopping at a fascinating fortified church. You’ll cross the pass to Stepantsminda at the foot of the impressive Mt. Kazbek (5054m). Legend has it that this is where Prometheus became famously enamoured with his ideas.

Next, you’ll stop in the old Georgian capital of Mtskheta, one of the oldest cities in the country and the centre of the action for a millennium leading up to the 5th century AD.
