Once border formalities are completed, we step into Georgia and, after a short drive, reach our first destination, the Makhuntseti region. We visit the historic Makhuntseti Stone Bridge, commissioned by Queen Tamar of Georgia, followed by a short walk and photo stop at the Makhuntseti Waterfall nestled in the heart of lush nature. Next, we visit an authentic winery where we can closely experience the important Georgian wine tradition (Adjarian Wine House, entrance fee 20 Georgian Lari).

During our walking tour in central Batumi, we have the opportunity to try the indispensable flavors of Batumi streets: kvas, fresh pear juice, and Italian-style ice cream. Guests who wish may enjoy lunch tasting Georgian delicacies during their free time. We have the chance to closely explore the city's multicultural structure and the traces it has carried throughout history. Among the buildings we will see are the Central Mosque dating back to the Ottoman period, the iconic Batum Clock Tower, the Piazza Square with its architecture reminiscent of European cities, the Government Building, and the Theater Building. Stopping in front of the Astronomical Clock, we observe time from a different perspective, while the St. Nicholas Church and the Poseidon Statue showcase the city's religious and mythological richness.

FROM ANCIENT KINGDOMS TO SOVIET TRACES
On the second day of our tour, after breakfast at our hotel in the morning, we depart from the Black Sea coast and begin our journey towards the interior of Georgia. Our route, proceeding via Batumi, leads us to Kutaisi, the country's second-largest city after Tbilisi, which has historically been one of its important centers. This enjoyable journey, accompanied by green valleys and mountain views, allows us to closely discover Georgia's natural fabric. Upon arrival in Kutaisi, we take a short exploration in the city center and begin strolling among structures reflecting the region's historical identity. Then, we visit the Bagrati Cathedral, listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List and considered one of the most important works of Medieval Georgian architecture. This magnificent structure, which has witnessed kingdoms and faiths for centuries, appears before us as a powerful symbol of the Georgian Orthodox tradition and the country's historical continuity. Next, we turn our route to Gori, the city where a name that left an indelible mark on 20th-century world history was born. Along the way, we will stop for a short extra lunch break and rest at a suitable facility. In this city known as the birthplace of the Soviet leader Josef Stalin, who was of Georgian origin, we visit the Stalin Museum. During our museum tour, we have the opportunity to see the modest wooden hut where Stalin was born in 1878 and spent his early childhood years (Stalin's House), as well as his personal belongings and documents shedding light on his political life. Additionally, the special Pullman carriage used by Stalin during official travels, reflecting the grandeur of that era, becomes one of the most striking parts of the visit. This stop allows us to witness not only Georgia's ancient past but also its more recent history. After the museum visit, departing from Gori, we head towards Mtskheta, accepted as the heart of Georgian history and Christianity, and also the country's former capital. Listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, in this holy city, we visit the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, built in the 11th century.
