The first stop of the day will be in Surami, where you will have the opportunity to taste a famous freshly-baked Nazuqi (sweet bread baked in an oven), which is a morning must-have for local Georgians.

Continue on tour to the Martvili district, one of the gorgeous places in Georgia, combining different unique natural environments. You will be shocked with brilliant scenery, sensational waterfalls, and a boat trip in the river, which possesses a deep-green color. You can board a boat with a boatman, and he will take you on an unforgettable journey between the high rocks in the canyon. You will also have the chance to have lunch (by request) and try out traditional Georgian dishes.

Get your camera ready for Kumistavi (Prometheus Cave), the biggest cave in Georgia. There are spectacular views of stalactites, stalagmites, petrified waterfalls, underground rivers, and lakes throughout this vast and impressive cave. Colorful lights range from orange, red, pink, and blue within the cave. You have two options to enjoy your remarkable cave tour. You may choose a walking tour along the 1,600-meter route or can instead opt for a boat ride along the underground river. When the tour ends, you will have the choice of being dropped in Kutaisi, the third-biggest city in Georgia, or Tbilisi.
