Itinerary:

Day 1
Tbilisi – Kutaisi

We will leave Tbilisi in the morning and head to Kutaisi. On the way, we will stop to admire the beautiful Tamar’s Bridge in Chalatke. We will stop for lunch on the way, before continuing to Kutaisi. Time permitting, we may visit Mostameta and Gelati Monasteries. Evening at leisure. Overnight in Kutaisi.

Day 2
Kutaisi – Shukhuti – Tbilisi
After breakfast, we will head to Shukhuti. Today our goal will be to see Lelo Burti, a centuries-old game played on Easter Sunday. We will also participate in a cultural festival that takes place simultaneously and, with a bit of luck, also see a wrestling competition. We will also visit a small family-owned winery located in a traditional Gurian house. This way, we will learn more about the Gurian lifestyle and try some of the region’s unique wines.

We will head to Tbilisi in the evening. Be ready for late arrival. Return to Tbilisi. The end of the tour!
