🇬🇪 Pilgrimage and cultural travel in Georgia

Explore Georgia was pleased to host a pilgrimage group from Greece and Romania for a special journey dedicated to Georgia’s Christian heritage, culture, and hospitality.
Connected with the celebration of the 1700th anniversary of Georgia’s Christianization, the program brought together clergy, parish members, and travelers interested in Georgia’s sacred places and living Orthodox traditions.
The journey included some of the country’s most meaningful spiritual and cultural sites, Tbilisi, Mtskheta, David Gareja, Bodbe Monastery, Gergeti Trinity Church, and the ancient cave town of Uplistsikhe.
A special highlight of the visit was the opportunity to meet the Patriarch of Georgia, along with meaningful encounters with Georgian priests, monks, and local church communities. These moments created a warm exchange of faith, friendship, and connection between Greek, Romanian, and Georgian Orthodox traditions.

For us, this is what a well-designed journey should offer: not only places, but people, stories, access, and authentic connection.

Some journeys are not only about the places you visit, they are about the moments that happen along the way.

This 11-day adventure started among the ancient stones of Georgia, where places like Uplistsikhe shared stories from centuries ago. Then, day by day, the road took us higher into the Caucasus, into green valleys, quiet forests, mountain rivers, wooden bridges, alpine flowers, and the timeless towers of Svaneti.

There were smiles on the trail, peaceful breaks under the trees, challenging steps, unexpected views, and those small travel moments that stay with you long after the tour is over.

We walked through wild landscapes, discovered remote villages, shared meals, met local people, and experienced Georgia far beyond the usual tourist route.

This is why we love trekking in Georgia:
real nature, real culture, real people and stories created together.

A big thank you to our wonderful guests for bringing curiosity, energy, and so many smiles to this journey.

From the charming towns of Mestia and Becho to the picturesque Ushguli and the majestic foot of Mt. Shkhara, each day was a delightful surprise. We were surrounded by pristine nature, tranquil villages, and stunning mountain passes, creating cherished moments that our guests will fondly remember for years to come.

This is the true essence of trekking in Georgia: invigorating fresh air, breathtaking landscapes, genuine connections with amazing people, and unforgettable stories crafted together.

Most travelers pass through Kutaisi far too quickly.

Yet this is one of Georgia’s most rewarding cities to slow down and enjoy with elegant old streets, the White Bridge, views from Bagrati, cozy w**e bars, lively markets, and corners full of history and atmosphere.

Our latest article explores why Kutaisi deserves more than just a short stop.

Yesterday, Georgia lost one of its most beloved figures.
His Holiness Ilia II, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, passed away on March 17th at the age of 93, after nearly five decades leading the Georgian Orthodox Church. For most Georgians, he was simply always there. A constant. A presence that felt as old and steady as the country itself.
He took the helm of a Church that had been beaten down by Soviet repression, restricted, diminished, nearly silenced. What followed was one of the quiet miracles of modern Georgian history. Churches and monasteries were restored and built. Seminaries reopened. Parishes multiplied. A faith that had been forced underground came back into the light.
In 1990, the Ecumenical Patriarchate formally recognized the Georgian Church's autocephaly - a moment of enormous significance for Georgian Christians. In 2002, the Church's place in national life was written into a constitutional agreement with the state.
But for many families, the memory of Ilia II is more personal than any of that. Starting in 2007, he personally baptized every third and subsequent child born to Georgian Orthodox parents becoming their godfather. Hundreds of thousands of children, tens of thousands of families who now carry that bond. Studies have since suggested the initiative was connected to a real, measurable rise in births in the years that followed.
He was present in grief too. After the 2008 war with Russia, he traveled into the conflict zone to help bring fallen Georgians home.

For generations, he was Georgia - its faith, its memory, its endurance.
May his memory be eternal. 🙏
