Nekresi Monastery Complex

Reviewed By U9339LPmichaelw - Redding, United States

Although this is a very interesting complex, the highlight for me was the ancient wine cellar with its large vats and the grape trampling troughs. Great views of the valley and buildings dating back to the 4th century. Be prepared for a steep walk, unless you take the bus.

David Gareja Monastery

Reviewed By vitavoyager

We enjoyed this monastery which is part of a complex of monasteries that are viewed by most as the birthplace of Georgian Christianity, dispite being prevented by two sets of friendly Georgian border guards from climbing further up the mountain beyond the natural spring to the upper monasteries now in Azerbaijan. This restriction proportedly came about after the leader of Georgia visited these upper monastery sites and made a public statement that they are Georgian. As of late September, no one knew when the full complex of monasteries would be reopened from the Georgian access side. So beware of any tour company in Tbilisi that assures you that the entire site is open. And wear good footwear.
