When visiting Georgia, Jvari Church is a must-see, and quite easy, too, considering it is half an hour from the capital Tbilisi. The setting is majestic, the views over Mtskheta, its rivers and mountains great.
Towering high above Mtskheta, on the other side of river Mtkvari, is the ancient Jvari monastery. While Mtskheta itself has several attractions of itself, being a Unesco World Heritage Site, the attraction of Jvari Monastery proved irresistible. Moreover, being probably the most holy and spiritual place of Georgia, it is inevitable to visit. While the easiest way would have been to rent a taxi and be taken up, I decided to go up by my own power, even though it was a cloudy day and the afternoon was already half gone. Following some dirt tracks out of the town, I soon had to tread carefully not to get completely soaked feet. The previous days, rain had fallen abundantly, and the paths had been converted into mud baths.
