2025 Zeda Gordi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

Okatse Canyon is located in Imereti (west of Georgia) and stretches for 16 kilometers. Just a few years ago, this place was equipped for mass visits by tourists and suspension bridges were made over the abyss. The height of the canyon under the bridges is about 140 meters and, you know, walking on it is quite scary. But it's very beautiful and the emotions are worth the risk! 💵 How much? You need to pay 17.25 Georgian Lari (7 USD) to buy a ticket.

#summervacay Okatse Canyon is not your average nature walk, it's got a skywalk that seriously takes things to another level (literally). Once you get past the short hike through the forest, peaceful, shady, full-on nature sounds, you reach this crazy long metal walkway clinging to the edge of the canyon. It’s kinda like walking on air but sturdier, promise. The views? Wild. You’re high up, looking down into this lush green gorge with a river winding through it. If you’ve got even a little fear of heights, yeah… your knees might feel it. But it’s worth it. The adrenaline plus nature combo hits just right. It’s super photogenic, so get ready to snap pics every two minutes. Also, wear comfy shoes, the trail to the canyon is chill but a bit rocky. Overall, Okatse is a cool mix of adventure and serenity. It’s not super touristy yet either, so you get that quiet, off-the-beaten-path vibe. Total hidden gem moment.

The sapphire-like Martvili Canyon, this place must be in the top five in Georgia! Friends who come to Kutaisi must go and see it, it's really super beautiful! From Kutaisi to Martvili is in the northwestern region of Georgia, where the humidity is generally high, and the branches and stones are covered with thick moss. Therefore, the water in the Martvili waterfall is always a light blue-green, cascading down the canyon and sparkling in the sunlight. It's very impressive to see in person, and there are also kayaking projects at the bottom of the canyon, which are great for taking photos. Historically, the Dadiani family, who ruled Georgia in Zugdidi, also used this place as their favorite bathhouse for vacation. There are hiking routes around, so interested friends can go for it! 🚗Transportation: 50Km from Kutaisi, it is recommended to drive by yourself, renting a car for 3 days costs 115 USD and you can explore the surrounding area. 🎫Tickets: 20 GEL for foreigners 💃One-day route: Depart from Kutaisi - see the Soviet abandoned buildings in Tskaltubo - take a boat to view the Prometheus Cave (you can skip it if you are not interested in caves) - Okatse Canyon - Khoni Waterfall - Martvili Canyon (the finale!)
