A full‑day circuit from Kutaisi that pairs Okatse’s dramatic suspended walkway with Martvili’s waterfall gorge, the cavernous Prometheus and the haunting sanatorium ruins of Tskaltubo. Expect boardwalks, short boat rides (seasonal), and varied limestone landscapes.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out onto Kutaisi’s Central Square as the van hums to life and the Imereti lowlands fall away behind you. The morning light slashes across limestone walls as you arrive at Okatse—here a narrow canyon makes the forest lean inward and a suspended walkway threads along the rim. The 900‑meter hanged bridge offers long, swaying sightlines where the gorge seems to watch you back.

History
The route stitches karst geology with human history—from ancient limestone channels to 20th‑century spa development; Tskaltubo’s abandoned sanatoriums reflect a Soviet era of mass balneology.
Conservation
High visitor numbers can stress fragile cliffside vegetation and cave systems—stay on marked trails, avoid touching cave formations, and follow local guidance to reduce impact.

Wear grippy footwear
Boardwalks and slick limestone near waterfalls get slippery—sturdy hiking shoes with good tread reduce slips.
Bring a waterproof layer
Canyons and caves stay cool and damp; a light rain shell keeps you comfortable and protects electronics.
Check boat availability
Boating at Martvili and inside Prometheus depends on water level—confirm on departure and be flexible with the itinerary.
Pace photo stops
Popular viewpoints fill quickly—plan time for stops but keep the group moving to see all four sites in one day.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Grip and ankle support for boardwalks, rocky approaches, and occasional mud.
Light waterproof jacket
Canyons and cave entrances are damp; protects against rain and spray.

Daypack with water bottle
Carry snacks, water, and layers for a 9‑hour trip with limited on‑site facilities.
