In the morning drive to Vardzia, a cave city built in the 12-13th centuries during the rule of George III and his daughter Queen Tamara to protect the southern boundaries of Georgia. Vardzia is not just a set of random rooms cut in rocks. It is a multi-storied complex with streets, tunnels and stairs leading to monasteries, temples, fortresses, baths, libraries, dwelling houses and more. Then drive to Poka Nunnery / St. Nino Monastery (11th century). Here you’ll have a chance to taste different kinds of unique Georgian cheeses: white and red Abuli, Javakhetian blue, Albio in a pot and others prepared by old Georgian traditions and other local products, such as jams, oil, chocolate, and honey. We will reach Tbilisi passing by the biggest lake of the country – Paravani Lake, enjoying a scenic drive. Arrive Tbilisi. Overnight at the hotel.
