Itinerary:
We will leave Tbilisi in the morning and head to the tiny village of Gudarekhi, located a few kilometers away from Tetritskaro. Upon arrival, we will first take a closer look at the medieval Gudarekhi Tower, which once was a part of a signaling system built across the Algeti region. Next, we will hike through a lovely, pristine forest to the remnants of the Gudarekhi Monastery commissioned in the 13th century. Gudarekhi is built of well-hewn stones, with richly incrusted and decorated façades. After the hike, if the weather permits, we will have time to enjoy a picnic lunch near the monastery. Remember to bring your favorite snacks! Return to Tbilisi in the late afternoon. The end of the tour.
