Samtskhe-Javakheti
Samtskhe-Javakheti is a region located in the middle of the south of Georgia. Quite attractive in terms of tourism and developed infrastructure. It is rich in historical sights and health resorts. Even their names say a lot about the popular places in this region. The region owns the balneological resort Borjomi with its famous mineral water of the same name. This resort hosts a lot of tourists, especially during the summer season. It is mainly active for those who want to have a family vacation, as there are many children’s entertainment facilities in the forest-park area.
From the park, a small passenger train Kukushka runs through the beautiful gorge through the railway line in the direction of the ski resort of Bakuriani. This road is distinguished by its beauty at any time of the year. It is mostly used for excursions rather than transport. This ski resort is one of the most popular with amateur and professional slopes. During the summer, this resort is also active for family vacations.
The most important and popular of the historical sights is the legendary town, carved into the rock, Vardzia. Created in the XII-XIII centuries, this masterpiece is a heritage not only of Georgia but also of world importance. It reflects the state strength of Georgia of that period and tells us about the most important role of the region for a united Georgia. This place is connected with the epoch, which is called the Golden Age of Georgia and with the first Georgian woman King Tamar. The territories of Georgia during this period were much larger than today.
