Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi stands on Elia Hill on the left bank of the Mtkvari River and is the main cathedral of the Georgian Orthodox Church. The church adopts the traditional Georgian cross-dome architectural style, with the central dome covered in gold leaf and a gilded cross standing at the top, reaching a total height of nearly 100 m including the underground section. Thanks to its massive size and commanding position, its golden dome can be seen from almost anywhere in the city of Tbilisi. The interior of the church is also worth a close look. In the northeast corner, there is a mosaic icon of the Virgin Mary; the southeast corner houses a display case with a cross and a handwritten Bible; and the northwest corner displays a model of the holy city of Jerusalem made of mica. The church also has several chapels underground, and the main murals were painted by contemporary Georgian artists in a traditional style. In addition to the main cathedral, the entire complex includes auxiliary facilities such as a separate bell tower, a monastery, and a seminary, which are quite impressive in scale. As the mother church of the Georgian Orthodox Church, the cathedral hosts Orthodox rituals and religious activities all year round. The interior murals and mosaic decorations create a solemn religious atmosphere, and from the cathedral's platform, you can overlook the city of Tbilisi and the scenery on both banks of the Kura River.Tbilisi · 53.9 km from Manavi

Sighnaghi old city is a historic district of a small town known for its traditional architecture, historic streets, and valley views. It is built on hilly terrain at a high elevation, offering views of the Alazani Valley and the distant Caucasus Mountains. It preserves many buildings with traditional Georgian characteristics. The houses often feature light-colored walls, red-tiled roofs, and wooden balconies, distributed along the undulating streets, creating a quaint and orderly urban landscape. The roads within the district are mostly narrow, with cobblestone paths connecting residences, churches, small squares, cafes, and local shops, allowing you to feel the leisurely pace of life in the small town as you stroll through it.Sighnaghi · 39.3 km from Manavi

Monastery of St. Nino at Bodbe is situated on a hillside shaded by cypress trees on the outskirts of the town of Sighnaghi. It is an Orthodox monastery where nuns still live and practice, and it is one of the important pilgrimage sites in Georgia. The main structure is a basilica-style church dedicated to Saint George, originally built between the 9th–11th centuries. It features a simple stone exterior and preserves frescoes from various periods inside. The shrine of Saint Nino is located on the south side of the church, where believers light candles and pray year-round. Beside it stands a three-story bell tower built in the 19th century, and a new, larger cathedral has been built within the grounds to accommodate the flow of pilgrims. Today, it remains an important pilgrimage site in Georgia, attracting local believers and visitors from all over.Sighnaghi · 41 km from Manavi

Sighnaghi Wall encircles the town of Sighnaghi in the Kakheti region of eastern Georgia and was built in the 18th century by order of King Erekle II. It is not a typical aristocratic castle, but rather a refuge where villagers from the surrounding area could take shelter collectively: the wall stretches for several km along the ridge, connecting over 20 towers and several arched gates. The main tower also houses the small St. Stephen's Church, which was a favorite of King Erekle II during his lifetime. Today, it is not only an important historical and cultural heritage site but also a popular spot for enjoying the local natural scenery. From the wall, you can overlook the town's buildings with red-tiled roofs, the expansive Alazani Valley, and the distant Caucasus Mountains.Sighnaghi · 39.7 km from Manavi

Chronicles of Georgia stands on the top of Ghani Hill in the northern suburbs of Tbilisi, right next to the Tbilisi sea, and is a massive sculpture complex that sculptor Zurab Tsereteli began building in 1985. 16 bronze pillars, each approx. 35 m high, form an open array on the vast hilltop, looking like Stonehenge from a distance, and are therefore also known as the "Chronicles of Georgia". The pillars are covered with bronze reliefs from bottom to top: the lower sections depict biblical stories and the life of Christ, while the upper sections feature Georgian kings, queens, commanders, saints, and poets, interspersed with scenes of daily life such as grape harvests and festive feasts. Beside the pillar array stand the Grapevine Cross of Saint Nino and the Church of the Annunciation.Tbilisi · 54.6 km from Manavi

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.

Sighnaghi is a beautiful, mysterious and legendary tourist town in the east. It is also known as the Royal Town. It was the seat of the Georgian royal family in the second century BC. Because there is a marriage registration agency that works 24 hours a day (but in fact, the marriage registration agency is not open 24 hours a day), Sighnaghi is also called the City of Love by the locals. The town has preserved most of the city walls and 23 towers from the 18th century.

As the most important monastery of the Orthodox Church in Georgia, the tomb of St. Nino is in the monastery. St. Nino was the first person to spread the Orthodox Church to Georgia, so this monastery is of great significance!

Georgia has a chronicle monument, which was built during the Soviet era and witnessed the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Many locals go to the Tbilisi Sea for vacation, swimming, and sunbathing. From the monument, you can see the Tbilisi Sea from a distance. It takes 12 minutes to walk from the monument to the beach.
