We will visit:

Vardzia is a cave site in southern Georgia dating back to the 12th century, excavated from the slopes of the Erusheti Mountain on the left bank of the Mtkvari River. Excavations have shown that the area of Vardzia was inhabited even earlier during the Bronze Age. There you can find the bell tower, main church, cave dwellings, rooms, chapels, pharmacy, and wine cellars. Beyond the bell tower, the complex rises to nineteen tiers, with steps leading to a cemetery. Infrastructure includes access tunnels, water facilities, and provision for defense. Vardzia has been submitted for future inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List as a Cultural Site.

Rabati Castle is a medieval castle complex of Asian style in Akhaltsikhe. Built-in the 13th century, Rabati castle developed under the influence of different cultures over subsequent centuries, and this is reflected in its architecture.
