Overview
Embark on a full-day adventure through some of Georgia’s most breathtaking and historically rich destinations—Borjomi’s lush landscapes, Rabati’s medieval fortress, and Vardzia’s ancient cave city.
In just one day, you’ll experience three incredible landmarks, each offering a unique glimpse into Georgia’s nature, history, and cultural heritage.
Borjomi is a town nestled in the heart of the Central Caucasus, known worldwide for its healing mineral waters. The unique therapeutic properties of the Borjomi springs have been celebrated for centuries, and even today, visitors flock to the town to drink directly from the source and experience the rejuvenating effects of the mineral-rich water.
As you walk through Borjomi Central Park, you’ll have the chance to sample this renowned water, known for its slightly salty and alkaline qualities that are believed to aid in digestion, liver health, and detoxification. The park itself is a natural beauty, surrounded by lush forests and dramatic mountain landscapes, offering a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Rabati Fortress – Where Cultures and Religions Meet
Located in Akhaltsikhe, Rabati Fortress is a stunning reminder of the diverse cultural and religious influences that have shaped this region over the centuries. This medieval stronghold has witnessed the convergence of Georgian Orthodox Christianity, Islam, and Armenian Christianity, making it a unique historical site where different religions have coexisted and left their mark.
As you explore the fortress, you’ll visit the Ahmadiyya Mosque, a legacy of the Ottoman Empire, alongside the Georgian Orthodox Church, symbolizing the religious diversity of the region. The fortress complex also includes an Armenian church and a Madrasa, an Islamic school, showcasing the fusion of cultures within this fortress.
The Rabati Castle itself is an architectural marvel, blending Georgian, Ottoman, and Armenian styles, with its impressive walls, towers, and cobbled streets. The museum inside tells the story of the fortress’s history, and as you walk through the courtyards, you can imagine the diverse cultures that once lived and worked here. Rabati is a living testament to Georgia’s multicultural history, a place where different traditions and beliefs have shaped the region for centuries.
Vardzia
Vardzia is one of Georgia’s most fascinating and unique historical sites. Carved into the cliffs of the Erusheti Mountain, this ancient cave city dates back to the 12th century and was built during the reign of Queen Tamar, Georgia’s most famous medieval ruler. The site is a true architectural wonder, with thousands of rooms, churches, and tunnels carved into the rock face, providing a glimpse into the life of the monks and royal families who once lived here.
As you explore the caves, you’ll see intricate frescoes that date back over 800 years, depicting scenes from the Bible and Georgia’s royal history. The city was once a thriving cultural and religious center, and its strategic location along the Mtkvari River made it a key defensive stronghold in the region.
One of the highlights of Vardzia is the Assumption Church, with its beautiful frescoes and stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Visitors can also see the queen’s private chambers, water tunnels, and the medieval wine cellars, where monks produced wine for religious ceremonies. The mystical atmosphere of the cave city, combined with the awe-inspiring natural surroundings, makes Vardzia a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Georgia’s medieval history and spirituality.
