Sabatsminda Church is located half way between Sighnaghi and Gurjaani, Kakheti. The church is located 1 km South-West off the main road, easy to reach, but nothing "special" and not a "required stop-over". Nice quiet place, plain interior, currently under renovation. (but do not miss Kvelatsminda in Gurjaani, if passing-by!)

Dzveli-Gavazi Church, in Akhalsopeli, half way between Kvareli and Lagodekhi, Kakheti, Georgia. The original church, dated to the 6th century, was a simple structure with 4 apses and a dome. In the 8th-9th century it was surrounded by an ambulatory and the done was heightened.

Kvareli

A protected forest reserve forgotten by time. Solitary hiking trails. Wildflowers. Secret waterfalls. So much to love! Do the very adventurous hike to the big waterfall, or the easier one to the small waterfall. Keep 3 days for the lake! #georgia #offbeat #nature #hiking #theshootingstar

Lagodekhi

Walk by Georgian-Azerbaijan boder in David Gareji is great. We've been there at the end of May, as we've been warned it's the most rainy season in this region. There was a rain but it didn't change how epic this place was.
