How much free time do we have at Sairme?
Around ninety minutes, enough to walk the sanatorium park and try the mineral water, less time for a full spa treatment on this itinerary.
Is the Vani museum open every day?
Opening days vary by season, we confirm this when you book.
Can this be combined with Martvili or Okatse canyons?
Not on the same day given drive times, but ask about a longer Kutaisi and Western Georgia itinerary that covers both regions.
Is the restaurant in Baghdati able to handle vegetarian requests?
Yes, Imeretian family restaurants routinely serve bean, cheese and vegetable dishes alongside meat, tell us in advance of any allergies.
