Brief information on the area

Mtskheta is one of the cities most visited and loved by travelers, along with Tbilisi and Batumi. But, despite its “touristiness” and renewal, it remains as comfortable, quiet and calm as it was before. The most interesting places of the ancient city are temples. It is in Mtskheta that the main temple of Georgia is located - the center of the country's Orthodoxy - the Svetitskhoveli temple, built in honor of the Twelve Apostles.

Racha is the northern mountainous region in Georgia, surrounded by Svaneti, Imereti, South Ossetia and Russia. It is right to call him: Racha - Lechkhumi - Kvemo Svaneti.
