Georgia. Samtavro, Mtskheta, Bodbe, Borjomi

How the trip went

The main goal of the trip is Samtavro monastery in Mtskheta, where the relics of St Gabriel rest. We spend two days there to attend the service and stay at the relics without rushing. The programme also includes Svetitskhoveli, Bodbe monastery with the relics of St Nino, Equal-to-the-Apostles, and Tbilisi.

The group spends the last days in Borjomi: rest and, if you wish, doctors' consultations and check-ups at the sanatorium.
