Khoni is a small town located in the west of Georgia, in Imereti. Despite the fact that it received the status of a city back in 1921, it is sometimes called a village.
On the territory of the city there is one of the most ancient Georgian temples and, perhaps, the most forgotten of all - the Church of St. George. According to the chronicles, it was built by the Abkhazian king Theodosius II in the 9th century. The reason for the oblivion of the ancient Temple is unknown. It was not possible to find informative mentions about him either on the Internet or in the literature on paper.
Okatse Canyon is located in the vicinity of Honi. The attraction is relatively new, but already loved by tourists and travelers.
It is worth considering that when visiting the canyon you will have to follow strict rules. Children under 10 years old and up to 120 cm tall are not allowed there. Teenagers under the age of 14 can only be accompanied by adults. It is forbidden to take animals with you. Bad weather - fog, rain, snow, can also become an obstacle on the way of a tourist who wants to visit Okatse Canyon.
If you believe the reviews of those who have been on an excursion in the canyon, it is impossible to persuade the guard to break the rules. If there are doubts, he will personally measure the growth of the child.
Waterfalls and lakes are located near the village of Kinchha. The main waterfall is considered the highest in Georgia. On the shore of Tskhenistskale, 5 km from Khoni is the village of Matkhodzhi. It houses the church of the Archangel Gabriel.
