Soviet past - Private day tour to Chiatura, Katskhi pillar and Chronicles
Soviet past - Private day tour to Chiatura, Katskhi pillar and Chronicles
Private Tour incl. Chronicles
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
Discover the non-touristic Georgia on this full day trip to the macabre town of Chiatura - once a modern mining town with highest number of cable cars, it resembles a ghost town today with its abandoned mines, empty apartments and decaying Soviet architecture.
The time seems to stand still here and so you can take a ride in one of the last rusty cable cars, overlooking the factories, enjoy the panorama view from the half-abandoned concrete settlements on the hills and see a morbide dedication to Stalin here and there.
On our tour we also visit the country side of Imereti region, that builds a contrast to industrial Chiatura - the ancient holy pillar of Katskhi with a tiny church on top or the rock hew Mgvimevi convent with frescoes from XIV century.
Itinerary
Cableways Chiatura

30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeOne of a kind - the monastery that was built on a huge rock pillar. Until today, many legends surround this place and it still attracts pilgrims from all Georgia.Monastery Mgvimevi
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeAn unusual kind of monastery, where nature and architecture become one. Built in a cave in the late middle ages, the picturesque monastery looks like an alien among the concrete socialist surroundings.Chronicles Of Georgia
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeThe must see for any lover of Soviet architecture - the giant monument overlooking the concrete suburbs is a perfect place to finish the tour.
