Samtskhe-Javakheti is one of the most diverse and impressive regions of Georgia, where nature, history and culture harmoniously blend together. Here you can visit ancient fortresses, lakes, a rock-cut city and many other attractions in one day.
When planning a tour, the first place you should definitely go is Akhaltsikhe – the cultural and historical center of the region. Right here, a 10-minute walk from the Akhaltsikhe Inn Hotel, is the world-famous Rabati Fortress, which is the main symbol of the city. Rabati is not only a model of medieval architecture, but also a place where different eras, religions and cultures have come together. In addition, the most famous wonder of the region remains Vardzia – a rock-cut city from the era of Queen Tamar. This monastery and city seem to be carved directly into the heart of the stone and still amazes visitors with its scale and beauty.
If you are looking for the wonders of nature and tranquility, you should definitely visit Lake Tabatskuri – an amazing place that becomes a mirror of the sky in summer, and in winter – a frozen, natural beauty. Another wonder is Lake Paravani, which is the largest lake in Georgia. Its shores are ideal for picnics, camping and photography. You can also meet a variety of birds here – Paravani is a true paradise for nature lovers.
