St Nino Monastery, Ganisi
Монастырь Святой Нино в Ганиси
  • General
  • Description
📍 Coords and Plus Code

The house is dedicated to St Nino, the enlightener of Georgia. It stands in the Ganisi country, yet noticeably apart from the town itself.

The mountains here are wide, and a single district name covers several gorges: more than five kilometres from here to the Ascension church of Ganisi, seven to the Tsetskhlisjvari tower, and about seven to the Alaverdi church at Tskere.

The rules are monastic: covered shoulders and knees, a headscarf for women, quiet, photography by permission. The road here is a mountain one and drifts over in winter, so it is better to come in the warm season and with daylight to spare.

📌 In brief

  • A house of St Nino, the enlightener of Georgia
  • The Ganisi country in the mountains of Mtskheta-Mtianeti
  • More than five kilometres to the Ascension church of Ganisi

    Монастырь святой Нино на перевале Джвари находится рядом с руинами шахтерского убежища и кладбищем немецких военнопленных. Территория была закрыта. Летом недалеко от этого места можно увидеть палатки и людей, которые пасут овец.

    This monastery is a hidden treasure located near the highest point of Jvari Pass, at an elevation of 2379 meters. We spotted a milestone indicating this height as we drove, which made us stop for a stunning photo of the mountain pass.

    To our surprise, the beauty of the monastery drew us in, and we decided to explore it. Even though it's in a remote area with few recent visitors, the monastery's appeal was unmistakable. One large building looked aged, yet its historical importance was clear.

    Set against the lush backdrop of the Caucasus Mountains, the monastery offered a calm and breathtaking view. It was a significant stop on our trip, showcasing the rich history and natural beauty of the region.

    A must-visit for anyone looking for peace and a deeper appreciation of Georgia's cultural heritage amid stunning mountain scenery.

    Замечательный монастырь с очень добрыми людьми. Я встретил двух монахов, которые угостили меня чаем и поделились множеством историй. Очень уютное место.
