Ananuri Fortress Complex - Embark on an intriguing journey to uncover the secrets of Ananuri, a centuries-old fortress nestled along Georgia's Military Road, in close proximity to the vibrant city of Tbilisi. Situated at the crossroads of the Aragvi and Vedzatkhevi rivers, Ananuri commands a strategic position that has shaped its historical significance.
Gudauri Panorama (Russia-Georgia friendship monument) - Embark on a journey to the Russia-Georgia friendship Monument, affectionately known as the Gudauri Panorama, a mere 120 kilometers from Tbilisi along the iconic Georgian Military Highway leading towards Russia. Erected by the Soviet Union in commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the 1783 Georgievsk Treaty, this monument stands as a remarkable testament to history and is an essential destination for any traveler seeking to delve into the region's rich past.
Stepantsminda(kazbegi) - Upon reaching Kazbegi, the next step involves transitioning to local transportation by engaging the services of a skilled driver equipped with a 4WD vehicle to navigate the terrain leading to Gergeti Trinity Church. These local drivers typically await our arrival for approximately 30 minutes at the church before escorting us back to our original mode of transport.
Gergeti Trinity Church - The Gergeti Church of the Holy Trinity is our next stop. We'll discover this church, which was constructed by King Giorgi V to bring Christianity to the mountainous Khevi region. Over time, the Gergeti Monastery became a significant place of worship for the local people. It also acted as a gathering spot for community leaders to discuss and solve problems. Nestled among the mountains and protected by a defensive wall, the Gergeti Church was like a hidden treasure, looked after carefully by the villagers.
Zhinvali Water Reservoir - the picturesque Zhinvali Water Reservoir, a man-made lake nestled amidst the stunning backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains. Immerse yourself in the serenity of the crystal-clear waters, embraced by lush greenery and pristine natural surroundings.
