Monasteries are an important part of Georgia. They are where our history lies. Let's modernize this already popular tour, make it unique and visit with bikes, really taking in the nature, the views and the sights, all while enjoying the active exploration.
Bagrati Cathedral, which is located inside Kutaisi, is a medieval site, which served as a church + a fortress. It has withstood attacks from the medieval times and now stands reconstructed with a new look. There is a viewpoint which looks over the whole region, accompanied by the large mountain range in the distance.
After Bagrati Cathedral, we'll climb to Motsameta Monastery, which is located on a mountain, surrounded by very close mountains and a river flowing below. The site is more than 1100 years old, the perfect mix of architecture and nature.
In the end, there is Gelati Monastery, which is a monastic complex featuring 2 churches, a bell tower and a medieval scientific academy. It is also the burial site of the most popular king of Georgia - David the Builder. When we finish checking out Gelati, we'll descend back to Kutaisi. The route makes this tour perfect. First - Climbs, Lastly - Descents.
