About Kutaisi
Kutaisi's Gelati Monastery sits on a hillside overlooking the city—a 12th-century academy of theology, philosophy, and science where scholars debated Aristotle. Prometheus Cave, discovered in the 1980s, extends 1,260 metres underground with river passages and stalactite forests. Two UNESCO World Heritage sites within hours of each other.
