Borjomi – Fortress of Rabat – Vardzia

Samtskhe-Javakheti region is distinguished by its culture. In ancient times, the region was responsible for the security of the country and was the first to receive blows from an external enemy. The life of the region was formed on the basis of protection, transport and trade routes and this culture we will see on the excursion. First of all we will visit the famous Borjomi. Balneological resort, which became famous all over the world, fascinates with its greenery and mineral healing water.

After that, we will go to Vardzia, a 13th-century cave city created by Queen Tamara. The city of refuge for 45,000 people, carved into the rocks, is staggering in size. We will see how people escaped from enemy conquests and could live in the underworld completely autonomously.
