Things to do in Mestia

Ushguli highest village in Europe located in Georgia. it's must to visit! the most beautiful landscape ever 🤩

it is not an easy hike from mestia to lake koruldi, with 1400m of elevation in 8.5km. But the view on the way was totally worth it. it took us 6 and a half hour to do the round trip. we went there by May, the lake was still covered by ice and snow, therefore cannot be seen. But we enjoy so much along the trail.

The most striking feature of the church is undoubtedly its pure gold-clad dome, dazzling in the sunlight and exuding a gentle solemnity when illuminated at night. It's worth noting that the church's construction was primarily funded by donations from ordinary citizens—it's not just a building, but a symbol of Georgians rediscovering their faith and solidifying their national identity after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

We stopped at Ananuri on the way along the Georgian Military Highway in July. The fortress sits right by the water with mountains behind it — a very picturesque spot. Inside there's an old church, and you can climb the towers for views over the reservoir. Entry is free. It gets crowded, especially during the day, but the grounds are large enough. Easy to combine with a trip to Kazbek — it's right on the way. I'd recommend making a stop.

One moment it was misty and rainy, then the sky cleared up and the colors came out [grin][grin] Kazbek, the drivers are here [proud][proud][proud] A few random photos. One day, it felt like there's more to the Duku Highway than just the four seasons.

It is a beautifully designed bridge which is lovely to walk over! And is covered in lights during the night :)

【Ali and Nino】 Ali, a descendant of a famous Muslim family in Azerbaijan who was influenced by Shia since childhood, and Nino, a Georgian princess who believed in Christianity, fell in love. Due to different beliefs, family obstruction, and secular public opinion, their love was eventually destroyed under the attack of the tide of the times. This may be the most romantic sculpture in the world. Every evening, they slowly move towards each other, stare, hug, kiss, penetrate each other, and then say goodbye and leave. Over and over again, even if you know the ending, you still look forward to it silently! Batumi landmark building 【Ali and Nino】 does not rotate during the day, but starts to rotate in the evening, rotating once every 15 minutes. It is almost invisible to the naked eye, so if you want to capture all the movements, it is best to use the "time-lapse photography" function of the mobile phone, but it is really uncomfortable to hold the mobile phone in your hand for 15 minutes, so it is best to use a tripod. Address: MJ4V+66Q, Batumi, Georgia

The Mother Fortress is located high in Georgia, from where you can see the whole of Georgia. In the evening, you can take a cable car up the mountain to wait for the sun to set and watch the sunset. The temperature in Tbilisi at night is only over 20 degrees in this season, which is really comfortable.
