We drive through a great road along the Enguri Gorge, directly to the mountains. At the elevation of 1500 meters, we reach the municipal center of upper Svaneti, Mestia. This is a splendid place with stunning views and architecture, surrounded by impressive 5000 meters peaks. Svaneti is one of Georgia’s most historic and unique areas and a real skiers’ dream. Until recently, Svaneti was known for its superb house-towers, most of them dating back to the 12-13th centuries, which lined the valleys and served as look-out posts against the threat of invasion. A long time ago, every self-respecting Svan family had its tower, where they were protected during wars. The buildings are remained like silent witnesses of those times and still delight us with their slender beauty. There is something about the region that makes you feel as if time has stood still. The people of Svaneti are a race apart – the pace of life is different there. They have their language and traditions, architectural style, and ancient customs still parts of everyday life. Close to the main square of Mestia, you can see locals driving cattle to pasture or buy fresh baked Khachapuri (cheese bread) from a bakery sitting in a centuries-old stone building. We have dinner in Mestia, and we take you to the hotel, drop you off there. You stay in Svaneti and spend your next day in stunning nature. 18:00 Drop off at the hotel in Mestia Highlights: Enguri DamEnguri GorgeMestiaSvaneti Museum of History and EthnographyTaste traditional, local food
