We will have a fascinating walk along small cobbled streets where they sell khmeli-suneli (seasonings), churchkhela, dried figs and much more. And the aroma of freshly brewed coffee on the sand will perfectly complement our route. Then we will find ourselves in one of the oldest temples Svetitskhoveli , where one of the most important relics of the spiritual world is located - the Tunic of Jesus Christ. It was here that Christianity was adopted and a new era began. Ancient frescoes hide many mysterious symbols and signs that we will learn about.

After that, we will go up, from where a beautiful view of the city and the confluence of the Kura and Aragvi rivers opens up. This is what Lermontov saw when he wrote the poem Mtsyri.
