You step out of an air‑conditioned minivan and the canyon answers—limestone walls leaning in, the Abasha River daring you with glassy channels where light fractures into emerald. The trail into Martvili is short but cinematic: stone staircases, viewing platforms, and a boat stretch that threads aqua water beneath moss-mottled rock.
