History

Three days through the monastic heart of Georgia: Mtskheta and the cliff monastery of Shio-Mgvime, Zedazeni of the Assyrian Fathers, the desert caves of Davit Gareji, then Alaverdi, Ikalto, Nekresi and Bodbe in Kakheti — with a Sunday Liturgy and its polyphonic chant.

One day on the trail of the woman who converted Georgia in the fourth century: her grapevine cross at Sioni, the Living Pillar and the Robe of Christ at Svetitskhoveli, the cell where she lived at Samtavro, Jvari above the rivers, and her tomb at Bodbe.

The city of love, the convent of St Nino and a cellar lunch above the Alazani valley.
