Dartlo village, 15 km away from Omalo, is like a fairytale. The medieval court of 12 juries has 12 stone armchairs that are a must-see. At the end of the XVII century, the head judge was a woman. 

Don’t skip Bochorna village, one of the highest populated places in Europe. 

Tsinandali Estate

The palace in the Tsinandali Estate was built by the Georgian romantic writer, Aleksandre Chavchavadze, in the XIX century. He brought in landscape designers from Europe to help construct the decorative garden.

The rich architecture of the palace, the park that is now a museum, ancient trees and plants, and Love Alley all make for an ideal backdrop. Tsinandali Estate is 10 kilometers from Telavi and is wonderful at any time of the year.

Sabaduri Forest

Sabaduri Forest is 20 kilometers from Tbilisi, in the Mtskheta-Mtianeti region, and is part of Tbilisi National Park territory.

It is magical in autumn full of beeches and oaks trees with yellow leaves. It becomes a white fairytale in winter when the whole forest looks like Narnia.

Kutaisi

This city attracts tourists for many reasons, including its cultural past, unique churches, and beautiful nature. Visit the Motsameta architectural complex, 6 kilometers from Kutaisi, and enjoy the amazing view of the city.
