Located in the Borjomi gorge of Kura, at an altitude of 800-850 meters above sea level. This resort is surrounded by mountains, which are covered with forests. The name of the city comes from the words “Borj” (“fortress wall”) and “omi” (“war”).

Guard towers were built on the slopes of the gorge to protect against the enemies, the remains of which still exist today. Walking through the Park, around the city, tasting mineral water.

They are all green, but some are dark and others are light. According to scientists, the church was built by the disciples of the famous Georgian figure of St. Grigol Khantsteli – Christopher and Theodore. In the 16th century, during the invasion of Shah Tamaz, the monastery was plundered. Dozens of monks were killed or tortured. The stones shed by the monks were absorbed by stones thrown into the Chitahevi River. These bloody stones lie almost the entire length of the river, which flows through the territory of the monastery. For centuries, worship in the temple was not conducted. In the 80s of the last century, the temple was restored. And in 2002, after many centuries, the monastery began to operate. Arrival in Tbilisi. Free time Transfer to Tbilisi Airport Tour completion
