Itinerary

Day to day

08:00 pick-up from Tbilisi hotel.

Drive to David Gareji semi-desert and reach Lavra monastery. In lavra we can see the picturesque landscape and rock carved-out water channels near the entrance of the monks’ residence.

Continue the way to Kakheti, East Georgia passing Sagarejo. Stop at Bodbe Monastery - this nunnery is one of the major pilgrimage sites in Georgia, due to its association with St. Nino, the 4th century female evangelist of Georgians.

Head to town Signagi (only 2 km from Bodbe Monastery) - an old trading town is located on the hills and is surrounded by medieval wall with 23 watchtowers. Cobbled streets and terracotta tile-roofed houses with colorful carved balconies and panoramic views of the Alazani Valley add the place a very charming character.

In the evening return back to Tbilisi.
