You step out of the air-conditioned vehicle onto a crunching gravel overlook as the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers argue below—two currents folding into one, pushing the valley toward the Caucasus. Jvari’s simple stone cross silhouette crowns the ridge; below, Mtskheta’s ochre roofs crowd around the spine of Svetitskhoveli. By afternoon the city hum of Tbilisi draws you into narrow lanes, sulfur steam rising like a dare from the bath district.
