Vardzia Tour Highlights

The tour to Vardzia takes place in the region of Samtskhe-Javakheti. On their way from and to Tbilisi, tourists will pass the regions of Kvemo Kartli and Shida Kartli. The central point of the tour is the Vardzia cave monastery complex in the upper valley of the river Mtkvari, which used to be the main transit road between central Georgia and Turkey, earlier than Byzantium. So these places used to play important roles in medieval Georgian politics, economics, and culture. That’s why there are so many historical monuments in a comparatively small area.

We do not make one-day tours to Vardzia, as the total distance from Tbilisi to Vardzia and back is above 500 km. Such a long drive is exhausting both for tourists and our staff. Our mission is not to show you as much as possible in the shortest term at any cost, but to let you discover the taste and fully enjoy our country. That’s why we never include in a day trip more than 350 km of driving.

A 2-day Vardzia tour is also available from Kutaisi. In case the tour starts and ends in Kutaisi, it won’t affect the price. An itinerary will be almost the same. Only the Javakheti plateau with lakes Paravani and Sagamo won’t be included. But in summertime time optionally, can be added Abastumani and Zekari road via Sairme back to Kutaisi.
