I had a difficult road on the mountain paths to the Georgian city of Telavi, through Ahmet. Therefore, Telavi, it seemed to me, deserved beautiful award in my journey. The Kakheti region in which is located televi, the Georgians and Kakhetians themselves are considered a wine region, in the territory of which the richest in the palette of taste shades of wine is produced.
Telavi Central Street has two squares, there are hotels on the same area, which offer a beautiful view of the entire Telavi. On the second area there is a complex of administrative buildings and the most important attraction of Telavi - the fortress of Concrete's Cyche. On the other hand, there is a park, in which the youth of Telavi is going in the evenings. By ignorance, I decided to have a snack in this park in order to go to the biggest wine cellar of Caekheti, the restaurants ordered were tasteless, the restaurant was designed just on tourists returning from a tour of the fortress.
At night I decided to stay at the Old Telavi Hotel, the double room with breakfast cost me 105 Lari.
Telavi city from old movies, houses, buildings retain their originality, wandering through the old streets of the city I constantly caught myself thinking that I got in the 80s of the last century. In the afternoon, on weekdays it is especially felt, if you leave the streets with shopping complexes. For the whole walk through the old city, you can only meet a couple of people, the city lives his slow life. Having managed all the monasteries and other sights in a couple of hours (the fortress was closed on this day for visits), binding wine, I just walked and enjoyed a slow time. And when it was hung in the familiar bar of Lavazzo and asked Barista Nani, where you can eat delicious. She showed me an inconspicuous restaurant "Tamara" in the basement. On this day, I tried the most delicious chinkie for all the two-month journey in Georgia. Permanent visitors carried Hinking with them buckets.
If you are traveling by car, there are many fortresses around the city of Telavi and the monasteries who are worth seeing, some of them are surrounded by mountains, so closely follow the signs.
