You will learn about the flooded ancient city, archaeological excavations, and explore the beautiful Zhinvali reservoir. In the medieval fortress of Ananuri, you will hear about the enmity of local princes, which led to a sad outcome, and also see an impregnable tower, which revealed its secrets only in the 20th century, when it was unwalled. Along the way there will be the Kvesheti postal station, where Pushkin once wrote poetry, the Gudauri ski resort, the picturesque confluence of the White and Black Aragvi.

And the majestic Mount Kazbek and the ancient legends about its appearance will make an indelible impression on you and will certainly become part of the most vivid memories of Georgia. On the way back we will stop at a restaurant where they cook the best khinkali in the country.
