В данной статье рассказывается о популярном со времён СССР курорте Цхалтубо. Он славится лечебными минеральными источниками, термальный водами и карстовыми пещерами, которые благотворно влияют на органы дыхания. Здесь нет памятников архитектуры, но природные пейзажи с лихвой компенсируют это.
Мне понравилось, что в санатории можно достаточно бюджетно снять номер с питанием.
