Kutaisi - Early in the morning, at 7 o’clock we will start the journey to western Georgia 220 km. We are crossing the Rikotski Pass and Kutaisi is waiting for us soon. We are in the Kolkheti lowlands, covered with many legends. Here the Argonauts under the command of Jason stole the golden fleece. In the surrounding mountains Prometheus was riding on a rock. This is the land of the eminent warriors of antiquity, where amazing events took place.

Bagrati Cathedral - In the Bagrati temple we will personally see all the beauty and unique charm of the impressive Georgian architecture of a thousand years ago.

On a 1,700-meter walking trail through the grottoes, you will see stalactites and stalagmites, underground waterfalls, rivers, and a lake. And in the famous Prometheus Cave (Amirani) let us recall the legend of a chained mythological hero who angered the gods.

Good experiences - Mestia is a good town surrounded by Kafkas mountains offering village type life examples and practises by locals. Some get the area for skiing at winter ,some for adventure and enjoyment at mountains. Not luxury but good places to stay and eat,walking around. Nice and friendly people. Many tall towers located at different places with reasonable distances from each other are with to visit to learn more about history and daily practises of past locals dares back to early times of local tribes live at the area,suffered from the attacks by other ,hostile residents. TURKISH RESTAURANT un by RITUR might be good choices for eating depending on your choice and budget,at yard or in.

Driver is awful, landscape is really nice! - I feel my tour guide Roland was not guide, just driver. ・He is a weak of English. we sometimes cannot understand smoothly. 🤷🏻‍♀️When I asked something, he couldn't answer because he didn't know what should say in English...Of course, he didn't explain about our sightseeing places. It makes me dissapointed because I like to learn cultures. ・On the road, He always drive very rough. 🚗he always looks his smartphone on highway, leave his both hands from the handle many times😭He is crazy. ・I paid HIS ADMISSION FEE of the museums and Hatsvail Cable car.💰 (And also his some drinks too.) I don't know why I have to pay his fee😇I think he have to wait or pay it himself. He tired this stealthily with Georgian languages, it makes me so scared.😇 ・When we go the very nice view sites, I have to take HIS PICTURE SO MANY TIMES than mine.📷LOL I don't know why I have to bring HIS JACKET and take his picture. he loves his selfie, and maybe he sometimes forgets HIS JOB.😇 By the way, the landscape was really really nice⛰️! I can enjoy to see beautiful mountains, Ushgli village.
