Fantastic Okatse canyon in Georgia
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.
Hiking into the Sapphire Waterfall around Kutaisi
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!)
