15 days Fascinating Caucasus

Highlights

Stand at the edge of the deep pit where St. Gregory the Illuminator languished in darkness for thirteen years, and look up to see the snow-capped summit of Mount Ararat.
Drive north along the Georgian Military Highway and stop on the walls of Ananuri Castle, looking down at the turquoise waters of Jinvali Reservoir wedged into the gorge like a shard of glass.
Raise a glass in the wine cellar of Tsinandali and taste five different wines, in the same courtyard where the Tsar's poet friend once wrote verses, drank, and gazed at the Caucasus sunset.
Climb the hill to Jvari Monastery and look down at the two rivers meeting below, the ancient city of Mtskheta resting in the valley — this is where Georgia's faith was born.
