10:30 Holy Trinity Cathedral - “Sameba”
Duration: 30 minutes
Our first stop is Holy Trinity Cathedral, locally known as “Sameba.” The Cathedral construction was only completed back in 2004, so it doesn’t offer the same amount of history like most other Tbilisi churches. But the Holy Trinity Cathedral is impressive in different ways. It’s the third-largest Orthodox cathedral globally, with 97.5 meters only after the Saint Isaac´s Cathedral in Saint Petersburg and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow.

With a rich history, this romantic city attracts hundreds of thousands of travelers from all over the world. The beauty of the mountain region and distinctive Georgian culture inspired many famous writers, artists, and poets to dedicate their fabulous creations to Georgia. From there, we continue our tour to Narikala Fortress, visit the mosque and through Leghvtakhevi gorge, get to Leghvtakhevi waterfall. Finally, we take memorable photos and continue our road to the sulfur baths district along the Bridge of Love. On the way, you enjoy impressive views of the “Leghvtakhevi” gorge.
