Rafael Eristavi spent his childhood and the best years of his life in the village of Kistauri in Kakheti. Rafael's father gave his son to the abbot of the Shuamta monastery, Philadelphos Kiknadze. A year later Filadelphos was arrested for participation in a conspiracy in 1832. In 1833 his parents took Rafael to study in Gori. From 1836 Rafael lived in Tbilisi, where in 1845 he successfully graduated from high school. Due to necessity he was unable to continue his studies and in 1847 started to work as an interpreter in Tush-Pshav-Khevsureti. In 1849 he was transferred to work in the office of the General Directorate of Transcaucasia, where in 1851 was appointed assistant chief of staff.
In 1852, were published the first poems of the young poet "Instruction" and "Flower", actively collaborated with the newspaper "Caucasus". His reviews, ethnographic and historical letters were published on the pages of the newspaper.
Rafael Eristavi continued his creative work until the last years of his life. In the last years of his life he was working on the libretto of the opera "Nugzari" which remained unfinished. In January 1901 Eristavi's health deteriorated, and a month later he died at the age of 77. From Telavi the remains of the poet were transported to the village of Kistauri. In 1911 Akaki Tsereteli visited Rafael Eristavi's grave in the village of Kistauri and organized requiem service. In 1938 Rafael Eristavi's body was reburied in the yard of the Telavi Museum of History and Ethnography and after 50 years of his death (1951) the house-museum of the poet was opened.

Было бы интересно посмотреть на предметы принадлежащие ему: фотоальбом, письменный рабочий стол, различные принадлежности.
Им была создана поэтическая школа, о таких людях можно писать много...
Пятидесятилетие литературной деятельности Эристави отмечалось торжественно в Тбилиси в 1895 г. и стало признанием для всей Грузии.
В Доме- музее грузинского поэта представлены его произведения, старинная мебель, картины и т.д., что при посещении музея дает нам возможность окунуться в жизнь поэта. Я бы посоветовала, музей Эристави для посещения и время припровождения на отдыхе.
