Chronicles Of Georgia

The Chronicle of Georgia, also called History Memorial of Georgia is one of the hidden gems of Tbilisi. Not at all a popular tourist spot, but definitely one of the impressive sites I have discovered lately. Located near the Tbilisi sea (it's a water reservoir actually) this place not only tells the history of Georgia but gives really spectacular views to surrounding vicinity. And impresses of its size.

Stalin Museum

Opened in 1957 in his hometown, the Stalin museum in Gori has barely changed since retelling the life of the ruthless dictator through a heavily-censored Soviet lens.

Cableways Chiatura

The city of Chiatura, Georgia has founded among otherwise uninvitingly steep valleys and deep gorges thanks to a healthy vein of manganese that was ripe for the mining. However the treacherous terrain was too difficult and inefficient for mine workers to traverse on foot, so the Soviet government installed a precarious network of dangling cable cars that are still in use today despite a troublesome lack of maintenance.

The abandoned sanatoriums of Tskaltubo, a town in the west part of Georgia is one of the most interesting places to visit in Georgia. The place is distinguished by its natural springs emanating from limestone massifs deep beneath the ground. In Soviet Georgia, Tskaltubo was a famous spa resort. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the sanatorium lost its function. Vines, bushes, and weeds found their ways through the pillared hallways into the bathing rooms. Later in 1992, a bloody conflict broke out between government forces and separatists who fought for the independence of Abkhazia, a disputed autonomous republic in northwestern Georgia. After the fall of Sukhumi, the capital city of Abkhazia, thousands of Georgians were forced to flee the city. The IDPs found the deserted corridors of the Tskaltubo sanatorium as a shelter.

    Unique and wonderful trip. Highly recommend doing this trip. Its packed with social history and interesting sights. You can spend hours exploring abandoned buildings and seeing old cable cars that give you a great glimse into another time. Our guide Alexis was knowledgable and really made such a huge effort to give us the best trip possible and was a lovely person to spend time with. The company was great to work with also. Everything was well organised.

    Did the Tskaltubo and Chiatura: 2-days urbex tour and it was amazing from start to finish. The sanatoriums in Tskaltubo were absolutely stunning, eerie, beautiful, and unforgettable. Chiatura was just as impressive, especially seeing the old cable cars and the dramatic landscape. Aleksi was a brilliant guide and went above and beyond to make the trip perfect. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything easy and enjoyable. Nothing felt rushed and he made sure I saw all the best spots. Highly recommended for anyone into urbex, history, or unique travel experiences. 10/10.
