Excursion

Excursion will be organized on September 20.

The tour will start in Tbilisi at 9 am.

You will go to Stepantsminda, which is known for its scenic location in the Caucasus Mountain, and The Gergeti Trinity Church is the main cultural landmark of Stepantsminda. Gergeti Trinity Church is a popular name for Holy Trinity Church near the village Gergeti in Georgia. The church is situated on the right bank of the river Chkheri (the left tributary of the river Terek), at an elevation of 2170 meters (7120 feet), under Mount Kazbegi. The Gergeti Trinity Church was built in the 14th century, and is the only cross-cupola church in Khevi province. The separate belltower dates from the same period as the church itself. Its isolated location on top of a steep mountain surrounded by the vastness of nature has made it a symbol for Georgia. The 18th century Georgian author Vakhushti Batonishvili wrote that in times of danger, precious relics from Mtskheta, including Saint Nino's Cross were brought here for safekeeping.
