In the heart of Georgia, the ancient capitals and cave cities reveal a journey through time, where sacred churches, early kingdoms, and rock-hewn settlements shape the country’s earliest history. Centered around the historic town of Mtskheta, one of Georgia’s oldest cultural and religious centers, the route is known for its spiritual landmarks, peaceful river valleys, and timeless atmosphere. The landscape then shifts toward the town of Gori, rich with layered history and Soviet-era heritage, before reaching the extraordinary cave city of Uplistsikhe, carved into ancient cliffs above the Mtkvari River. Together, these sites create a powerful blend of archaeology, culture, and dramatic natural scenery.
