Georgia is a country full of love. When tourists come to Georgia, the first thing they notice is the respect and love of Georgians.

Georgia is also one of the first countries which officially adopted Christianity. A half-day tour to Bodbe and Sighnaghi gives you an outstanding possibility to experience these two essential things for Georgians in just a few hours.

Checking one of the most religious places in Georgia and exploring Sighnaghi with Georgia's Great Wall, a memorial for WWII, the wedding house, and the great view of the Caucasus Mountains with studying the most crucial part of the history of Georgia in just 5 hours is a great deal for everyone!


Stop 1: Bodbe's St. Nino's Convent
Duration: 30 minutes

Bodbe Nunnery is the place where Saint Nino was buried in the 4th century; Saint Nino was a woman who converted Georgian religion into Christianity. You can imagine how difficult it could be at that time when everybody was pagan. It is one of the most religious places where Georgians go on pilgrimage and ask for forgiveness. Apart from a religious function, the nunnery is a perfect place for taking pictures. Dozens of nuns take care of the place, and it is always clean and beautiful whenever you go there.


Stop 2: Sighnaghi (City of Love)
Duration: 1-hour

Sighnaghi is a city of love; it is famous for the wedding house where you can get married 24/7, numerous romantic stories, and unique history that make this city so special. Sighnaghi is known for its wall as well; it is called Georgia's Great Wall. The wall is much shorter than the Chinese Great Wall, but we shouldn't forget about the massive difference between these two populations. In Sighnaghi, you also learn the history of WWII: how it influenced Georgia and Georgia-Russia relations. Georgia is a country where the essential part of the Caucasus Mountains stands. From Sighnaghi, it is possible to observe a great view of the Caucasus Ranges and take many beautiful pictures.



After the tour, we drop you off at the hotel.
