Day 3

Dedoplistkaro – Khornabuji Fortress – Sighnaghi – Tbilisi

If you have any mobility issues, we recommend taking a stroll around the area instead. Afterward, we will head to Sighnaghi, a lovely town with a Tuscan-like feeling. Upon arrival, we will visit the charming Bodbe Monastery, stroll the town’s historical ramparts and enjoy a delicious lunch in a local restaurant. Return to Tbilisi. The end of the trip.
