Batumi→Rabati castle→Khertvisi Fortress - Cave town Vardzia→Batumi

Embark on a grand journey to the very roots of Georgian history. This route is a true challenge for real explorers. We will cross scenic mountain passes to witness impregnable fortresses and the legendary cave city carved into the cliffs. With StarTrip, this long journey becomes a comfortable and thrilling adventure.

• A City Within a City: See a unique architectural blend of an Orthodox church, a mosque, Oriental gardens, and medieval towers.

• 2. Khertvisi Fortress: The Unconquered Guardian
  We will make a stop at one of the oldest and best-preserved fortresses of the Georgian Middle Ages (10th-11th centuries). Perched majestically on a rocky hill where two rivers meet, it still breathes the spirit of ancient battles.
  3. Vardzia: The Cave City of Queen Tamar
  The climax of our tour is the magnificent 12th-century monastery complex.
