We'll start our journey by driving towards Martvili in the Samegrelo Region, where we'll visit the stunning natural wonder of Martvili Canyon. Prepare for a short boat trip along the Abasha River and follow in the footsteps of Duke Dadiani along the historical 30-step stair path, which winds through the stone-paved circular canyon route, offering breathtaking views of its waterfalls.
Our next stop is the private museum within the open-air Ethno-village Sisa-Tura, just a 1 hour and 20-minute drive from Martvili. Here, our host will warmly welcome us and guide us through the traditional Colchian Oda House, showcasing old household items and treating us to delicious Megrelian cuisine.
After a short 15-minute drive from Sisa-Tura, we'll arrive in Zugdidi, the administrative center of the Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region. We'll take a brief stroll through the city center before heading to the Dadiani Palace. Explore the royal gardens, now transformed into a botanical garden, and delve into the history of the Mingrelian dukes at the History and Architectural Museum, housed within the former residence of Queen Ekaterine Chavchavadze-Dadiani and Prince Niko Dadiani.
The second half of our day will be spent in Nokalakevi village, where we'll discover the ruins of the ancient acropolis of the Lazica Kingdom. This captivating archaeological site offers insights into the Roman and early Byzantine periods. We'll enjoy a leisurely evening surrounded by the beautiful nature of the area.
As the day winds down, we'll embark on our journey back to Kutaisi, reminiscing about the unforgettable experiences we've had.
We look forward to exploring more of Georgia's wonders with you soon!
