- Proceed to the Bodbe Monastery. The Bodbe Monastery is located in the eastern part of Georgia - Kakheti, two kilometres from the city of Sighnaghi, over the Alazani Valley.

- Nino converted to Christianity, the Georgian king Mirian wanted to transfer the body of the great enlightener to the capital - Mtskheta, but two hundred people could not move the remains. The grave of St. Nino became a particularly revered place, a temple was built above it - a majestic basilica.
- Pay a visit to the city of love Signagi. Sighnaghi is a small cosy town in eastern Georgia, located on a mountainside in the historical region of Kakheti. The name of the city comes from the Turkic word syknak, meaning a fortified place, a shelter, a fortification. The city was founded in the XVII century under King Irakli II. and, as locals say, this is the only city in Georgia that has completely preserved the walls. The total length of the fences is 4.5 km.

By the stairs arranged nearby, you can climb the walls, from where you can see the city and Alazani Valley.
