The morning light in Kutaisi arrives low and clear, slipping between Soviet-era facades and the domes of medieval churches. Walks begin on stone streets where market vendors set out cheeses and walnuts, and the Rioni River pushes through the city with steady confidence. By day two you trade city squares for forested canyons: Okatse’s boardwalks stretch across a gorge, the wind nudging you out to the viewing platform 140 meters above the river.

Okatse involves about 544 stairs and a 1.5 km boardwalk—expect a moderately strenuous hike with steep sections; allow 2–3 hours for the round trip including time at viewpoints.
The program begins with pickup at Kutaisi Airport and final transfer back to the airport on day four, as part of the private tour arrangement—confirm pickup details when booking.
Late spring through early fall offers the most comfortable weather for both city walking and canyon visits; autumn provides clearer skies and cooler temperatures for photography.
Kutaisi served as a capital of the ancient Kingdom of Colchis and later the medieval Imereti kingdom; Gelati Monastery was founded by King David IV in the 12th century.
Okatse Canyon is managed with boardwalks to limit erosion; visitors should stay on marked paths and avoid littering to protect fragile karst and cave systems.
