Tour Location
Borjomi is a resort town in south-central Georgia, 160 km from Tbilisi. The town is noted for its mineral water industry, the bottling of mineral water is a major source of income for the area. Because of the supposed curative powers of the area's mineral springs, it is a popular tourist destination for people with health problems.
- Borjomi is also home to the most extensive ecologically-themed amusement park in the Caucasus.
- Vardzia is a cave site in southern Georgia dating back to the 12th century, excavated from the slopes of the Erusheti Mountain on the left bank of the Mtkvari River. Excavations have shown that the area of Vardzia was inhabited even earlier during the Bronze Age. There you can find the bell tower, main church, cave dwellings, rooms, chapels, pharmacy, and wine cellars.
- Beyond the bell tower, the complex rises to nineteen tiers, with steps leading to a cemetery. Infrastructure includes access tunnels, water facilities, and provision for defense.
