Vardzia is a well-known spectacular cave with amazing history. The belltower and the the southern part of church were constructed in the end of 13th while dining hall was developed in the first half of the 15th century. You should be physically prepared to hike up towards the caves through narrow tunnels and get down by long stairs which are quite challenging.

After doing with Vardzia, we will head over to the 13th-century Asian style castle complex called Rabati Castle. It shows the influence of various cultures. The modern section consists of a restaurant, a hotel, cafes, and shops while the traditional one includes the Ahmediyeh Mosque, the church, the family castle of Jakeli, and the old museum.

At the end of the tour, our guide will take you to a hydro-thermal health spa resort in the southern region of Samtskhe-Javakheti. It’s situated in the territory of Borjomi that has an international reputation for its geothermal spring and mineral water resources.
