Itinerary

We will depart from Tbilisi in the direction of the village of Tsinarekhi. This is where the historical journey begins. We will visit the Magalaant Koshkebi (Tall towers) (1679). We will continue our journey by vehicle. After about 2 kilometers, we start a walking tour in the direction of the church of Tavkavta. On the way, you will meet the ancient village of Paratisi, from where we will have to travel along the river on the footpath. We must bear in mind that we will have to cross the river at least once. The river is small, which allows us to cross safely. The next section continues with a sharp ascent, which finally brings us to the destination, near the church of Tavkavta. It dates back to the thirteenth century. Beautiful views can be seen from the viewpoint near the church. We will take a short break to explore the surroundings and return to the starting point of our journey in the same way. On the way you will have the opportunity to rest for half an hour and bathe in the river. The tour continues by means of transport in the direction of Kvatakhevi, where we will visit the monastery of the same name (XII-XIII centuries).
