Prometheus Cave, Okatse Canyon, and Martvili Canyon
- Prometheus Cave
The first destination is Prometheus Cave Natural Monument - a magical karst cave full of stunning curtains of stalactites and stalagmites. The cave is located about 30 minutes away from Kutaisi and lies about 80 m below ground level. Its total length is about 11 km, of which 1800 m are open to visitors. The cave has 22 halls in total, and six of them are currently open to tourists. At the end of the cave, you can enjoy a boat ride from the cave to the outside.
- Okatse Canyon
The second destination is Okatse Canyon, the first hanging trail in Georgia. It is about 45 minutes away from Prometheus Cave and stands 520 meters above sea level.
From the Okatse Canyon Visitor Center, a 6 km pedestrian passageway begins with a 2300 m stone-paved section through the historic Dadiani forest, though you can also use a car. It leads to the Okatse Canyon checkpoint, where the 780 m hanging cliff trail starts.
You will walk on a high hanging bridge in the air for about 2-3 hours and explore the surrounding nature. The trail ends with a 20 m platform suspended above the canyon, offering a panoramic view. If you love extremes and adventures, this place is for you!
- Martvili Canyon
The last destination is Martvili Canyon, a natural monument located about 45 minutes away from Okatse Canyon at 240 meters above sea level. A 700-meter circular hiking trail starts from the visitors' centre and passes through Dadiani's historic walkway. There are 2 bridges, 3 viewing platforms, and a 30-step historic staircase built from limestone.
Here, you have the opportunity to take a boat ride through the canyon along a 300-meter one-way section of the Abasha River and enjoy the beautiful views of the canyon. If you love boat rides, this place is for you!
