The Martian Landscapes of Georgia

As part of this tour, we will visit the semi-desert in Georgia. Yes, there is such a thing in Georgia besides mountains and sea! We will visit one of the shrines of Georgia Lavra of David of Gareji where his relics rest to this day. We will see the cave in which David and his disciple Lucian lived in the VI century. Hear the history of their asceticism and the history of the monastery, which in the Middle Ages was the Twelveth (which included more than 20 monasteries founded by the followers of David). Further, according to the program, we have a monastery founded by his disciple Lucian, the monastery of Natliscemeli (in honor of John the Baptist). Of the more than 20 monasteries currently operating only 3. And also such a wonder of the world as the colored hills of the Gareji desert. Very bright, very photogenic and very unusual. And the Mravaltzkaro Reservoir. If you wish, you can visit several more abandoned cave monasteries that will meet along the way (Mravalzkaro, Tetri Senakebi, Shavi Senakebi and so on). Or returning to Tbilisi, you will be able to visit the Rustav fortress, where active archaeological excavations are underway.
