The total length of the cave is about 11 km, of which 1060 m are open to visitors. Cave has total of 22 halls of which six are currently open to tourists.
Visitors can explore a 700-meter-long stone-paved circular canyon route, witnessing picturesque waterfalls and enjoying a 300-meter boat trip on the Abasha River. The visitor center, situated in the village of Inchkhuri on the left bank of the river Abasha in Martvili municipality, Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region of Western Georgia, serves as a starting point for the exploration. During a walking tour at Martvili Canyon, visitors can discover the historical 30-step stair path constructed by large limestone boulders, encounter two natural limestone bridges, enjoy three overview platforms, observe 19th-century water mills, and explore fossilized shells of nautiluses and sea urchins. The canyon provides a unique blend of natural beauty and historical charm.
The Cathedral of the Dormition, or the Kutaisi Cathedral, more commonly known as Bagrati Cathedral is an 11th-century cathedral in the city of Kutaisi, in the Imereti region of Georgia. A masterpiece of medieval Georgian architecture, the cathedral suffered heavy damage throughout centuries and was reconstructed to its present state through a gradual process starting in the 1950s, with controversial conservation works concluding in 2012. These works prompted UNESCO temporarily to include the cathedral on its list of endangered World Heritage Sites. A distinct landmark in the scenery of central Kutaisi, the cathedral rests on the Ukimerioni Hill. It is considered one of the four Great Cathedrals of the Georgian Orthodox world.
Discover the charm of Kutaisi — one of the oldest cities in Georgia, where history, culture, and beautiful scenery come together in a relaxed and authentic atmosphere.

We have George as our guide and driver for our trips to Georgia and Armenia. Being an experience n truly professional of the industry, George always give us the best advice for any unforeseen situation on the way such as bad weather. He is full of humor n very patience to us. George even helped me to retrieve a lost item in Tbilisi and arrange to deliver to me at Yerevan on the next day. He is knowledgeable on all the sites that we had visited and able to give us surprise on places not included in our original itinerary. All the restaurants he recommended are delicious and fully reflected local culture. George also willing to adjust the itinerary in a flexible way to cater for our need to find the best time to take pictures or fly a drone. We wholeheartedly recommend George to anyone who planned their visit to the Caucasus. The only things need to be mentioned is you have to check your hotels very carefully as there are different standard between Georgia and Armenia. Chris

Exploring Georgia with George was an incredible experience. We enjoyed fantastic days, and the tour was meticulously planned as a private excursion. I'm truly grateful that we never felt like mere tourists being guided or driven around; instead, it felt like we were spending time with a family member. I wholeheartedly endorse this tour for everyone. George, best of luck on your future endeavors, and may you continue to uphold this standard of excellence. 75 Continue writ

When I thought about taking a few days off, they recommended Georgia and I started the search and I liked it, but a friend recommended a guide to do the tours and other activities that you regularly do. The recommendation was excellent and especially the guide, the sites were extraordinary to be in contact with nature and the animals is priceless. thank you Gio for each site included in the tour
Thank you very much for kind review. I am glad that you had best recommendations about me and my company. Hope We had a excellent time with you🙌🙌. Next time we will show you another part of Georgia 🇬🇪 🥂🥂🙌.
George was our guide and helped us to explore the Imereti region of Georgia. We did a private tour to the legendary Prometheus caves and Canyons. The breathtaking views from the gorge are definitely worth the trip. George is a kind and generous tour guide :)
Thank you very much 🙌
I belive this is must to go in goergia, this was one of the best tours we had, once you enter the caves you feel the 14 degrees breeze which was awsume in a typical summer hot day in goergia.
Absolutely, This is long road, tiresome, but it worth to see. 💯 💯 💯. Thank you very much for your excellent review.
