Mtskheta. Even if you haven’t heard anything about Mtskheta when you planned your visit to Georgia, and having come to us, ask any passer-by what you need to see in the vicinity of Tbilisi, the first thing that you will be advised is a trip to Mtskheta.
And not only because in ancient times Mtskheta was the capital, not because today Mtskheta is a symbol of spirituality and revival of Georgia, and not even because it is the center of Christian pilgrimage.
Mtskheta is a wonderful satellite city, which is loved by both locals and visiting guests: ancient temples, restored streets, and beautiful landscapes for photography are interesting here, poets, artists, photographers and believers strive to get here.
However, you will understand everything yourself when we walk along the cozy streets of this wonderful ancient city, each with its own history and interesting facts.
