Kurmuk Church

A Georgian church that was built in 1888 in the place of the ruins of a former Albanian Church. We can see the remnants of the first church that was built in the 3-4th centuries. The position of the temple is just picturesque. It houses one of the best-known celebrations that was held twice a year. This is Kurmukoba of St George's Day

Church of Kish

Reviewed By BlueHenFlyer

Amazing place to visit - just when you think you can’t take another nutsy driver, cobblestone, or pothole - here’s this church, possibly the oldest in the world, in the center of a little town with a Thor Heyerdahl bust. Who knew. Had a marvelous tour with an English teacher - she made my day. Would recommend this after the so-so Sheki experience.
