Our adventure begins in Mtskheta, a city with a history as ancient as it is profound. Known as the spiritual heart of Georgia, Mtskheta is home to some of the country's most sacred sites. Our first stop is the magnificent Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of medieval Georgian architecture.

Here, amidst the tranquil beauty of the cathedral, we'll learn about the legends and miracles associated with this revered place, gaining a deeper understanding of Georgia's Christian heritage.
From Svetitskhoveli, we'll make our way to the nearby Jvari Monastery, perched high atop a hill overlooking the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers. Dating back to the 6th century, this ancient monastery offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, providing a serene backdrop for contemplation and reflection. As we stand amidst the ruins of this sacred site, we'll reflect on the spiritual journey of Georgia and the enduring legacy of its Christian faith.
Our next destination is Gori, a city with a storied past and a complex present. Most famously known as the birthplace of Joseph Stalin, Gori is a place where history and controversy converge. Here, we'll visit the Stalin Museum, housed in the neoclassical building where the former Soviet leader spent his formative years. Through its extensive collection of artifacts, documents, and personal effects, we'll gain insight into the life and legacy of one of the 20th century's most enigmatic figures. Outside the museum, we'll encounter the imposing Stalin Monument, a controversial symbol that continues to provoke debate and reflection on Stalin's impact on world history.
From Gori, we'll journey back in time to Uplistsikhe, an ancient rock-hewn town dating back to the Early Iron Age. Perched high above the Mtkvari River, Uplistsikhe is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of Georgia's ancient inhabitants. As we explore its labyrinthine network of caves, tunnels, and chambers, we'll marvel at the intricate architectural features and ancient artifacts that offer a glimpse into the daily life of its residents.
