Description
Step into a hidden world where time has stopped. In the quiet town of Tskhaltubo, you’ll explore the ruins of old Soviet sanatoriums—huge buildings once full of life, now silent and covered in nature. Long ago, people came here to rest and heal. Today, only echoes remain. You’ll walk through empty halls, broken ballrooms, and secret staircases… every corner hiding a story. The architecture is grand and strange—marble columns, wide arches, and spiral staircases now taken over by plants and shadows. It feels like a movie. It feels like a dream. Then, journey underground into the stunning Tetra Cave, where natural wonder meets tradition. Inside this atmospheric cave, you'll enjoy a unique wine tasting experience surrounded by ancient stalactites and soft cave acoustics. Sample some of Georgia’s finest local wines, aged in the cool depths of the earth. This tour combines adventure, history, and taste—perfect for travelers who love the mysterious, the beautiful, and the unforgettable

Itinerary
Abandoned Sanatorium Gruziya
Step into the forgotten grandeur of Tskaltubo, once a famous Soviet spa resort. The abandoned sanatoriums — with their crumbling facades, marble halls, and overgrown courtyards — tell haunting stories of the past. Perfect for urban explorers, photographers, and history lovers, these silent giants offer a unique and surreal experience just a short drive from Kutaisi.
Tetra Cave
Tetra Cave is one of Georgia’s most spectacular yet lesser-known natural attractions. Located in the Imereti region, this stunning karst cave features breathtaking stalactites, stalagmites, and underground rivers, offering an unforgettable adventure for nature lovers and explorers. Why Visit Tetra Cave? ✔ Otherworldly Beauty – Walk through illuminated chambers filled with dramatic rock formations, some resembling frozen waterfalls or mythical creatures. ✔ Less Crowded – Unlike the more famous Prometheus Cave, Tetra Cave offers a more intimate, off-the-beaten-path experience.
