This two-day loop from Tbilisi centers on cave vaults and medieval stonework: Prometheus and Sataplia caves on day one, and Gelati Cathedral, Motsameta Monastery and Bagrati’s viewpoint on day two. The drive from Tbilisi is roughly 240 km and takes about three hours each way, so an overnight in Kutaisi gives you time to move at a measured pace.
