City of Love ❤️
#georgia #momentsmission #travelinspiration #unforgettableexperiences Sighnaghi, also known as the city of love, is one of the smallest towns in Georgia but is also one of the most attractive ones. It’s got its romantic name because of the wedding house which is open 24/7 and a couple may get married there any time of the day (useful tip for those who are in a rush 😉).
Apart from that, the city itself is very beautiful, cozy and romantic. The cobblestone and narrow streets make you feel like you are somewhere in Europe. There are lots of small stores where you can buy traditional goods and treats; cozy cafes and restaurants with delicious food; nice and comfortable hotels overlooking the Alazani Valley. Definitely worth visiting. If you go to any restaurant there, trying traditional Kakheti barbecue is a must.

Georgia's off-the-beaten-path attraction, the Shavnabada Monastery.
May Day travel destination recommendation: Saint Nino Monastery in Georgia.
St. Nino is the saint who led Georgia to convert to Christianity. It is said that this is the place where she was buried.
From the town of Sigunaji to the monastery, it takes about an hour to walk (don't ask me how I know 😂). There are motorcycles and four-wheel drive vehicles for rent in the town, about 10 lari. It is recommended to rent a car to go there. Don't be like me, foolishly hiking up the mountain alone to save money 💰, and end up not seeing a single person along the way. Honestly, it was a bit scary.
🤩There are some small vendors selling handmade bags, hats, carpets and other handicrafts at the entrance of the monastery. If you need them, you can buy some.
💰Ticket: Free
🚃Transportation: Google search "Bodbe Monastery for Women" for navigation.
Wine country, Sighnaghi.
Saignon, the world-famous wine region. Pink houses, flat pebble roads, vintage old buildings... everywhere here is filled with a romantic atmosphere. From the small town, you can also overlook the vast Alpilles mountains.
This small town, described by "Lonely Planet" as very beautiful in the Kakheti region, has a history dating back to the second half of the 18th century. Sighnaghi was built by a capable ruler of Georgia in the 18th century. The purpose of construction was to protect the locals from raids by the Caucasus mountain people and to attract Armenian merchants and artisans to promote the economy of Georgia. Today, most of the ancient city walls and 23 towers are still preserved.
📍Transportation: Take the subway to Samgori station in the city center, the subway fare is 0.5 lari. After getting off the subway, walk through the underground passage to the bus station, where you can ask locals for the specific boarding location. Then take a mini-bus to reach Sighnaghi, the fare is 7 lari and the journey takes about 2 hours.
📝Sig Nagi's last bus back to Tbilisi city center is at 6pm, don't miss the return time, buddies.
🧗♂️Seginaggi can play Jungle Leap, and the cost is 50 Lari per time.
⛪️If you want to go to Bodbe Monastery, you can choose to rent a 4-wheel drive or motorcycle in the town and drive there, or you can walk there, which takes about 40 minutes to the church. However, single women are not recommended to walk because there are basically no people on the road.
The most beautiful monastery in Georgia, the scenery is comparable to the small Switzerland! The beauty of the European fairy tale
to Georgia for a few days, occasionally encountered countless beautiful scenery, the monastery is one of them. When I got off the bus, I thought that I came to Switzerland, and there was a lot of snow in the wild. The twin towers lie between the blue sky, the forest and the valley, like a fairy tale dream.
In my opinion, the monastery is the footnote of time, inscribed in the past. Just as the 18th century Georgian monarch Heraclius II ordered the construction of the city, a circle of "Great Wall" was built to defend the Dagestan tribe in the northeast.
For thousands of years, time has always been silent. Today's monasteries, including two churches, a bell tower and tombs, have become the most sought after ancient buildings with a touch of Tuscan charm.
About shooting: Perhaps because of the female saint, Bodbo Monastery is a woman's monastery. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the door will be officially opened, and the nuns of the whole body will appear on time, and visitors will be able to visit.
About customs: Into the monastery, you must follow the dress code. Women should use a headscarf to wrap their heads. If they wear pants, use a scarf around the pants. A basket of such headscarves will be provided at the church door. Take it.
Pheasant's Tears Winery Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
How to play the town of Eastern Europe, how to play in the town of Eastern Europe? Cave winery secrets
Signa is the world's oldest wine town, almost every household has grape fields, like a rainbow of gorgeous and beautiful. It is adjacent to the pleasant warm wind of the Black Sea, and the right side leaning against the Caucasus Mountains is a rich natural gift that allows it to sit on 525 native native grape varieties. It is estimated that only Italy is called the winemaker challenger.
The first time I entered the private cellar, I first smashed because of the temperature in the cave, and I was attracted by the red wine on the wall. The most famous is chacha. It is made from grape slag and aged in oak barrels. It has a strong berry aroma, a sour taste and fine tannins. Beef stew and garlic aubergine are also very tasty, and you will never forget it.
Its even more fun. The locals are particularly gracious and hospitable. In addition to eating big mouthfuls of meat, they must also touch the cup while holding a unique slang. It is not difficult to find that Georgia's love for wine is deep in the bones. Here, you don't have to be elegant and refined. You only need to be close to the people.
