The destination of our tour is the most famous part of Khevsureti –village Shatili – famous because of its original medieval architecture, but besides Shatili tourists will see many other even more interesting places, enjoy unspoiled nature and feel like time travelers to the deep middle ages.

This tour allows you to see the most interesting places in this mysterious area.
