Tour to Vardzia takes place in a region of Samtskhe-Javakheti. On their way from and to Tbilisi tourists will pass regions 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 located 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 fill the taste, and fully enjoy our country. That’s why we never include in one day trip more than 350 km driving.
A 2-day Vardzia tour is available also from Kutaisi. In case, when the tour starts and ends in Kutaisi, so it won’t affect the price. An itinerary will be almost the same. Only Javakheti plateau with lakes Paravani and Sagamo won’t be included. But in summer time optionally can be added Abastumani and Zekari road via Sairme back to Kutaisi.
