Cultural part: Sighnaghi, the city of love and the Alazani valley

Kakheti is known for its wines and is located in eastern Georgia. Sighnaghi, situated on a slope of a mountain in the Alazani valley, is an ancient town of the Kakheti region. In Sighnaghi you can get married 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in the wedding palace, and is therefore called "the city of love".

Signaghi, the city of love, is a quiet sunny town. The buildings of this beautiful town of Georgia are decorated in the style of Southern Italian classicism with Georgian elements. What makes this town special is that it is surrounded by a great city wall. This city wall has 28 watchtowers from which one can admire the famous Alazani Valley, the place where Georgians grow up one of the best kinds of grapes for Georgian wine.

Monastery of St. Nino in Bodbe

Monastery of St. Nino in Bodbe

The monastery of St. Nino in Bodbe is a Georgian Orthodox monastic complex and is the final resting place of Saint Nino. It consists of a small hall church, built over the grave of Saint Nino, which is integrated into the basilica and next to it a separate bell tower. The Bodbe Monastery was originally built in the 9th century, it has been significantly remodeled, especially in the 17th century. It now functions as a nunnery and is one of the major pilgrimage sites in Georgia. The Bodbe Monastery is a sacred place for the Georgians and everyone will tell you that it is a place where miracles happen.

Monastery David Gareja

David Gareja Monastery

One of the most important and interesting destinations in Georgia is the ancient David Gareja Monastery. It is a complex of cells, chapels, churches, living quarters, and a water supply system... And this all is a rock-hewn Georgian Orthodox monastery. David Gareja is an active monastery and the monks demonstrate the wonderful example of living off the grid. Being just 60-70 km away from Tbilisi, the monastery is cut off the civilization by the desert. It makes the complex really-really remote. Here the visitors can admire some pretty flawy preserved but priceless frescos on the walls of ancient churches and cells which are carved in the rock including portraits of historical figures such as Georgian Queen Tamara.
