Due to weather, boating trips were cancelled for the safety of everyone which i highly appreciate. We enjoyed the places under the rain, amazed with how Georgians protected the caves and the trees. This trip is ideal for travellers who want to enjoy the beauty of the nature! We recommend David to be your guide, one of the best!

Эти места стоит увидеть. В Мартвили и пещера Прометея отличная туристическая инфраструктура. Каньон Окаце можно пойти пешком по живописной тропе примерно 2 километра. Но если здоровье не позволяет можно добраться на джипе, местные оказывают такой сервис.

The 1600 Stairs Excursion! Nevertheless, definitely do it. Beautiful views, impressive.
