The bus eases out of Kutaisi and the air tightens—cool limestone breath from the earth, a river below threading green cliffs. You begin at Prometheus Cave, where 60–70 million years of karst work have cut halls and subterranean waterfalls; a paved 1,420 m walkway and a short boat ride guide you through chandeliers of stalactites and calcite curtains that feel almost deliberate.
