Signagi and Bodbe Monastery Tour
Visit the Georgian town of Signagi, located in the eastern part of Kakheti and known as the City of Love. Signagi was also one of Georgia's many stops along the ancient Silk Road. It is just over an hour and a half from Tbilisi, which makes it a good escape from the busy life of the city.
Explore Bodbe Monastery, nestled among tall cypress trees on a steep hillside overlooking the Alazani Valley, with commanding views of the Greater Caucasus mountains. It was originally built between the 9th and 11th centuries, but has been significantly modified since then. Both the exterior and interior walls have been plastered and bear traces of restoration carried out in the 17th and 19th centuries. It consists of a small hall church with an apse built over St. Nino's grave, integrated into a larger aisled basilica.
