The road to Vardzia is hilly and bumpy, so it can easily get sick. Therefore, those who do not tolerate mountain roads should think carefully before venturing on such a trip. The territory of the cave monastery complex is huge, and you will have to climb all the time uphill to get to the caves. All transport is in a special parking lot at the foot of the mountain. My experience of visiting is incredible! This is a real multi-storey (! ) complex with streets, tunnels and stairs leading past monasteries, temples, fortresses, baths, libraries and residential buildings. It is amazing how people could move along these narrow stairs, how could they even live there? Be sure to include Vardzia in your itinerary, it is worth the effort and time spent.
