3 Days Quick Getaways Tbilisi-Kazbegi

Tbilisi is the capital of the country of Georgia. Its cobblestoned old town reflects a long, complicated history, with periods under Persian and Russian rule. Its diverse architecture encompasses Eastern Orthodox churches, ornate art nouveau buildings, and Soviet Modernist structures. Looming over it all are Narikala, a reconstructed 4th-century fortress, and Kartlis Deda, an iconic statue of the “Mother of Georgia.”

Explore Georgia’s Great Caucasus Range on this private full-day Kazbegi tour from Tbilisi. Visit the 16th-century Ananuri Fortress with a private guide, and enjoy fine views over the Aragvi River from the turreted stone walls. Travel through the pretty resort of Gudauri to Gergeti Trinity Church — nestled beneath the soaring summit of Mt Kazbek and widely considered the region’s top attraction. Capture fine countryside views on camera on the route through the Dariali Gorge to Dariali Castle, and learn of the route’s importance to travelers across the Caucasus over the centuries.
