A road along a narrow canyon from the main square in the town Mtskheta
Mtskheta used to be first georgian capital. However because of landscape formation city couldn't keep growing. Also city always had ( and still do) important, religious meaning for georgian people so they decided to move capital to Tbilisi, thanks to that in case of attack by "non-believers" Mtsheta wasn't in center of attention. #aboveitall

I had a lovely few nights’ stay. The staff was very friendly and the hotel is modern and comfortable. The room was compact, but perfect for me as a solo traveller, it had everything I needed. The breakfast was great and the neighborhood was walkable and located near subway. I would stay again!
