    Interesting experience for 10GEL per person. It included a climb to the top level of the tower, but I didn't feel brave enough to go onto the roof. I also purchased some Svaneti salt for 10GEL per container, which is popular around town.

    The host tells the story of his family, tracing back to the 10th century, directly from a current descendant living there. It felt authentic and connected to Svaneti's history, not just a tourist attraction. The hospitality was very warm. I highly recommend it!

    Прекрасный частный музей в старинном сванском доме с 28-метровой башней. На мой взгляд, это лучший музей в Местии!

    Apsilankėme šiek tiek vėliau vakare, ir mus labai svetingai priėmė. Papasakojo daug įdomaus apie vietos istoriją. Giminės šaknys čia siekia 900-1000 metų.

    Гіа Ратіані прийняв нас, як близьких друзів, і розповів про життя сванів, їхні способи вирішення конфліктів та боротьбу з ворогами.

    Двоюрідний брат Гіа, Дато Ратіані, загинув у 2022 році, захищаючи місто Ірпінь, де я проживаю. Вічна пам'ять герою сванського та українського народів.

    Цікаво було піднятися на верхівку сванської вежі, яка є найбільшою в Сванетії, висотою 28 метрів (зазвичай - 25). Це також єдина вежа, побудована жінкою!

    Якщо у вас є кілька годин вільного часу і бажання дізнатися більше про Сванетію, відвідайте музей до Гіа!
