It is significant that in the old city, there are temples of six different faiths.

For a sense of separation from civilization – for the modern city dweller, who often sees the outside world only on the monitor screen, this will be an amazing return to reality. To try to live at least a few days without mobile communications and the Internet. And just to be alone and think about something important: there are extremely few people here, there is no one to distract. Also on this day you will visit the fortress Diklo and the village of Omalo – the village where the film “Mimino” was shot.
• Lunch with a local family
• The village is located extremely interesting: on almost all sides the flat plain is surrounded by steep slopes, creating something like a yayla. Omalo is divided into two parts – Upper and Lower. The upper one is 200 meters higher, on a separate mountain, and it is there that there is a rock with several Tushino towers, which looks advantageous from any angle. Immediately after the rock, a steep cliff begins, so a separate delight is to climb down to the towers and admire the surrounding plain from there. Here you can see almost all of Tusheti!
• These towers are the remains of the 13th century Keselo fortress. At that time it was an impressive bandura with 13 towers, which almost did not survive until the end of the twentieth century. The latter, they say, did not survive during World War II – although it was not clear why they were destroyed, to put it mildly. In general, some ruins would have stood on the slope, but in 2003 they began to restore them slowly, and now on the rock near Omalo there are 5 full-fledged towers.

  Kvavlo is very close to Dartlo, directly above him. You need to climb a steep climb. However, the trek is worth the breathtaking, spectacular view of the surroundings.
