Then, we feel the dynamic spirit of the city at Sharden Bar Street. Next, we visit the area of the Sulphur Baths, a hidden secret in the historical depths of Tbilisi. These baths, which form the old texture of the city, are silent witnesses to Georgia's long and complex history. Initially built in the Middle Ages, these magnificent structures have evolved over time with various cultural influences and have become an integral part of the city's cultural identity today. Passing through the historic narrow streets above the Sulphur Baths, we reach the Jumah Mosque. As we feel the historical atmosphere of the mosque, we embark on a journey towards the tranquility of the city. Crossing the Peace Bridge, we witness the magnificent view of the Tbilisi cable car under the shade of the Tree of Life. Climbing up to the King Vakhtang Gorgasali Monument, we admire the panoramic view of Old Tbilisi.

During lunch, we provide free time to taste the delicious flavors of Georgian cuisine and for shopping. At the end of our tour, we return to our hotel in Tbilisi to relax and make use of our free time for dinner. Guests who wish to have dinner can join the unforgettable experience of the Georgian Gala evening. In this special event, they will experience the richness of Georgian culture and discover traditional dances, music, and flavors.

After having breakfast at our hotel in the morning, we begin our journey back to Batumi. On the way back, we head towards Mtskheta, the ancient religious center and former capital of Georgia, to visit its historical sites: the Jvari Monastery (6th century) and the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral (11th century), where the robe of Jesus was said to be buried. Following our tour of Mtskheta, we proceed to Borjomi, where we taste the famous mineral water, the country's most important export product, straight from its source in the valley. After visiting the Water Park and Central Park, we take a Soviet-era cable car to the summit, where we have free time to admire the view and take photos. Then, we arrive in Batumi.

Next, we explore one of the most beautiful places in Batumi, Piazza Square, which resembles European city squares, and see landmarks such as the Medea Statue, the Adjara Autonomous Republic Administration Building on Konstantine Gamsakhurdia Avenue, and the Poseidon Statue atop a fountain symbolizing power and ambition. We also visit Theater Square, where we learn about its tragic stories, take photos of the Drama Theater, and then proceed to the Old Batumi Boulevard, with its lush greenery and captivating seaside promenade. Along the way, we see the unique "custom design wedding hall" among the intriguing modern architectures. After taking photos by the fountains on Old Batumi Boulevard, we pass by the Alphabetic Tower, which features all 33 letters of the Georgian alphabet and serves as a restaurant. Then, we see the moving sculpture of the characters from Kurban Said's famous novel "Ali and Nino" depicting the love story of Georgian Princess Nino and Azerbaijani nobleman Ali, and our guide narrates their tales.
