Description
Full day excursion to Martvili canyon, hot springs, ruins of Nokalakevi and dinner with wine tasting.
Martvili canyon is a unique natural landmark and pride of Georgia. If you ask any Georgian advice: what to see interesting in Georgia? Of the TOP 5 attractions, the first positions will be – Martvili canyon and the promise that this is indescribable beauty. And it is true.
Near the town of Martvili, the fast mountain river Abasha (another name for the Abasha canyon) has carved this miracle of nature for many centuries, making a corridor through limestone rocks. Over millions of years, the Dragon Canyon (which really were here at that time), the waterfalls and rapids that we see and admire today, formed.
Well, at present, people have turned this natural location into an object for mass visits and one of the TOP sights of Georgia.
We will walk the upper canyons on inflatable boats 300 meters deep into the canyon. And we will walk the lower canyon, where there is a 700 m long tourist trail with several observation platforms to look at this miracle from a height.
There are restrictions: children up to 1 meter tall will not be able to ride boats, but you can only admire the canyon from a height if accompanied by adults.
Next, we will visit Nakalakevi, where we will see the perfectly preserved citadel of the 2nd century. with secret passages, we will visit the Martvili monastery.
But what about without the “zest” of the program? So, the road to the “hot springs” makes no less impression than the springs themselves: a dirt road, knocked out in the slope of the mountain, high above the gorge, along the bottom of which a mountain river flows. Well, the hot spring near the mountain river is a real natural sauna on the rocky bank overlooking the wooded mountains.
The price includes: entrance tickets to Martvili canyon, wine tasting, lunch
