About the tour

Mineral Springs and a Medieval Fortress

Two worlds in a single day. In the morning — resort-town Borjomi: mineral water straight from the spring, a 19th-century park in the Borjomula river gorge, and a cable car with mountain panoramas. The water from St. Catherine's spring is warm and tastes nothing like the bottled version — you will notice the difference immediately.

After lunch — Rabati Fortress in Akhaltsikhe. Seven hectares of medieval architecture: a mosque, an Orthodox church, a minaret, a museum, and panoramic viewpoints. A testament to the centuries of cultural coexistence that define Georgia.
