EXPERIENCES

A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.

Prometheus Cave

Step into a subterranean world of wonder at Prometheus Cave, Georgia's natural gem. Meandering through its illuminated corridors, you'll encounter a myriad of stalactites, stalagmites, and petrified waterfalls. The play of light on rock formations, combined with the echoes of dripping water, creates a surreal ambiance, making it a journey into Georgia's mystical underworld.

Bagrati Cathedral

Perched atop a hill overlooking Kutaisi, the Bagrati Cathedral stands as a testament to Georgia's rich architectural heritage. Admire its intricate stone carvings, grand dome, and the blend of Byzantine and Georgian design elements. As you wander its grounds, the panoramic views of the city below and the tales of its millennium-old history weave an enchanting narrative.

Gelati Monastery

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gelati Monastery was once a prominent centre of enlightenment. Founded by King David the Builder, its walls have echoed with scholarly debates and religious chants for centuries. Admire the well-preserved frescoes, manuscripts, and the fusion of architectural styles, feeling the weight of the knowledge and spirituality that once flourished here.

Kutaisi's Lively Market

To capture the city's pulse, delve into Kutaisi's bustling market. Navigating its labyrinthine alleys, you'll encounter vendors selling everything from spices, cheeses, and fresh produce to traditional crafts. Engage with locals, sample regional delicacies, and perhaps purchase a handcrafted souvenir. It's a sensory experience, offering an authentic glimpse into Kutaisi's daily life.

Rioni River

Meandering through Kutaisi, the Rioni River offers picturesque spots for relaxation. Walk along its banks, observing the local fishermen and the occasional rowboat gliding by. As dusk approaches, the play of sunset hues on the water, coupled with the city's silhouette, creates a tranquil setting, perfect for reflection or simply soaking in Kutaisi's serene ambiance.

Traditional Supra Feast

Immerse in Georgian hospitality by attending a "supra," a traditional feast. Laden with local dishes like "khachapuri" (cheese-filled bread) and "kharcho" (meat stew), the meal is complemented by poetic toasts, heartfelt songs, and tales of Georgian legends. Guided by a "tamada" or toastmaster, the supra offers not just culinary delights but also a profound insight into Georgia's soul.
