What is interesting about the resort of Kutaisi?


Anya.

Friends have advised several Resorts in Georgia, I can't decide yet. Tell us, if it's not difficult, is the resort of Kutaisi a good one? Is it possible to relax there with the whole family, that is, with her husband and children?

I'm not sure about a family vacation, I don't advise staying there for a long time: a maximum of 2-3 days, no more!

In two days you will go around the whole of Kutaisi and explore all the local and neighboring neighborhoods and attractions. If you come there for a week, you will have time to get bored.

What is there in Kutaisi?

There is a wonderful well-preserved, partially reconstructed historical center, it's a pleasure to walk around it! Right in the center is the pearl of the resort – a magnificent fountain! There is a famous Bagrat temple, museums, but there are very few of them (two or three) beautiful parks with the opportunity to ride a cable car.

Outside the city, a special attraction is the very ancient monastery of the Holy Virgin – Gelati, created at the beginning of the 12th century. There is also an ancient Motsameta monastery with its own history, this word means "Place of Martyrs". Be sure to visit – these are special, holy places. Martvili is not even a city here, but a whole canyon, there is also a monastery there.

The last thing that immediately comes to mind is the caves of Sataplia and Prometheus. Look on the Internet, these are very beautiful places! I suggest moving between the sights by taxi, so you can safely visit up to three places in a day.

Taxi drivers will be happy to give you a tour or you can even cooperate with other tourists and go on a bus tour with an experienced guide who leads everywhere, tells stories and interesting facts in two languages: English and Russian.

Georgia is abundant and well thought out from the point of view of tourism! The only thing is that the resort is not quite suitable for a family holiday, you will not find water parks, cinemas, entertainment for children here. Therefore, it is better to go to Batumi with children and the whole family! Oh! You won't regret it!

Minibuses run to Batumi from Kutaisi. What kind of attractions and entertainment are not there! Here you will find a dolphinarium, and a water park, and you can ride all sorts of things (water and land), and a botanical garden, and a warm sea, although the beach is a small pebble, but it's not scary, you can buy cheap beach slippers right there - a very convenient thing!

By the way, there is a separate conversation about beaches: there are ordinary ones, and there are ones with black magnetic sand (healing). In principle, if you have time, again, you can get to Tbilisi by minibus in 4 hours! You can certainly organize any kind of vacation there!

So Kutaisi is a must-visit, but not for long! Leave time for other resorts, visit Batumi and, of course, Tbilisi, they are very different – get a lot of interesting experiences and fun!

Kutaisi is a wonderful place in the west of Georgia! You can have a great time there, traveling with your other half or with friends! The resort is interesting for its sights and pleasant quiet streets that preserve antiquity.

If you walk slowly, you can see amazing things: beautiful bridges and temples. Be sure to visit the Gelat Monastery. It is located five kilometers from the city and is rightfully the spiritual center of Georgia, since its creation by King David IV. The only thing I want to note: a comfortable stay with children in Kutaisi will not work (( .

Because there are often no places in hotels. I'm trying to say that there may not be a number needed for a large number of people; it happens that the lights are turned off, and this may be slightly extreme for the child's psyche. Therefore, it is better to choose another resort for a family holiday.

Of course, Kutaisi is a monument of historical architecture: temples and monasteries, archaeological/historical museums and important cultural monuments protected by UNESCO. At the same time, Kutaisi is an important industrial center.

It is best to go here in summer, if not in summer (when the optimal temperature for recreation is: the air is well warmed up), then in the off-season, because winter is quite cool here, sometimes the temperature reaches -17 degrees.

Good conditions have been created for visitors: there are hostels, sometimes very different in price and comfort, that is, for any purse and the level of claims to comfort. Moreover, if you order the most expensive room, it will cost no more than a hundred dollars for one; and the cheapest is about ten dollars (these are just the same budget hostels).

Almost all hotels and hostels have Wi–Fi, parking, places to store valuables, travel guides and all sorts of useful things that you get by paying for your stay. There are options with a buffet for breakfast or even with an indoor pool.

In fact, hotels and hostels are Soviet-era buildings, but they have been renovated and converted into hotels. Sometimes there are very unusual interiors and styles. Getting into such places, you make a lot of unexpected discoveries.

All the sights are an ancient city, preserved since the formation of the state in Georgia, and of course, ancient temples. Among them is Bagrata – a temple erected at the end of the 11th century in the highest place of the city.

He is the business card of the resort of Kutaisi. From the mountain where it is located, there is a wonderful panoramic view! Unfortunately, due to the destruction caused by the raids of the Turks, the original appearance of the temple could not be preserved. But still, ornate patterns, beautiful mosaics, paintings remained on the glasses – many wonderful examples of Orthodox culture.

Another monastery that deserves attention is Motsameta. According to legend, this monastery was erected on the site of the execution of David and Constantine (princes, holy martyrs). The princes refused to accept Islam and died under the pressure of the invaders.

The holy relics of David and Constantine are still kept in a special ark in the center of the temple. Connoisseurs of antiquity will definitely find something to admire here!

Kutaisi is suitable as an assembly place to visit the whole of western Georgia. Not far from the resort there is the Staplia Nature Reserve, the Marville temples, Racha–Lechkhumi and Lower Svaneti, the fortress city of Nokalakevi.

Separately, visit the winery in Abrolauri and taste the local Khvanchkara! A divine drink! You will not find such a thing anywhere except in Kutaisi. Since all semi-sweet wines do not particularly tolerate transportation, they should be drunk right on the spot, according to legend, it is believed that wine does not tolerate even when knocking on the jug in which it is stored.

The resort of Kutaisi is cozy and very interesting! It is full of sights and unique monuments that deserve attention, capable of conquering any heart! These are, first of all, remarkable archaeological sites under the care of UNESCO. I advise you to go to Kutaisi in the summer – a great time, it doesn't get too hot here.

But in winter it's very cold – real winter! Up to minus twenty happens! Be sure to visit the Bagrat Temple, which surprises with its medieval frescoes that have survived to this day. Go to the Satapliysky Nature Reserve. What is interesting about this national park?

Its pristine nature, completely undisturbed, unique in its beauty! There are amazing mountain caves there, rumor has it that if you search well, you can find traces of dinosaurs that lived here a long time ago.

Of the hotels I recommend "Old Town", it is located in the center of Kutaisi. It is 15 minutes from the train station. There are good rooms here, suitable for spending time with children. Each room is equipped with air conditioning, a good bathroom, a TV with many channels. And if you suddenly choose a high–class room, you can enjoy the views from a beautiful balcony.

I'm telling you for sure, the family and children will not be able to relax together in Kutaisi: well, there is absolutely no entertainment for the kids (You will have to try very hard to find something so interesting. The resort by the sea is more suitable for a beach holiday, and for a family it is better to find a more suitable place.

If you still take a chance, then I can advise you to visit the Rioni River (it flows through the whole city), the Bagrat temple (insanely beautiful, protected by UNESCO), the Gelat Monastery and the Satalpia Nature Reserve, it seems someone has already told about it above – a place with wonderful untouched nature, we can say that this is such a Natural Monument – I highly recommend it, amazing and yes! there are fossilized dinosaur paw prints!

It can be very interesting for children if you arrange an excursion–a dinosaur hunt, something like a quest or even an adventure: "He was here! I'll prove it to you! I know he left footprints here somewhere! I'll help you, kids! Let's look for them together!".

In short, if you still take the children, then I advise you to plan your vacation very carefully, turn on your creative abilities: think over the route in detail so that the toddlers do not get bored and do not turn your life into endless suffering;)

    Я только что прочитал статью о Кутаиси на madloba.info, и я просто восхищен этим местом! У меня было удивительное путешествие в Грузию, но к сожалению, я еще не успел посетить Кутаиси. Однако, благодаря информации из справочника, я планирую обязательно посетить этот прекрасный курорт в ближайшее время.
    Я узнал много интересного о Кутаиси, таких как его историческое значение, богатое культурное наследие и потрясающие природные достопримечательности. Я особенно заинтересовался Багратской церковью и Гелатским монастырем - их архитектура и история звучат захватывающе!
    Также, статья поделилась информацией о местных традициях и кухне, что еще больше подогрело мою жажду познакомиться с Кутаиси и его гостеприимными жителями.
    Спасибо madloba.info за такой подробный обзор! Я уверен, что поездка в Кутаиси станет незабываемым опытом, и я не могу дождаться, чтобы отправиться в это удивительное место!

    Поняла одно - ехать в Кутаиси нужно в межсезонье, когда не жарко как летом и не адски холодно, как зимой. Задержаться там нужно не больше трех- четырех дней. За это время можно успеть посмотреть все главные исторические монастыри и сооружения, особенно те, что охраняются ЮНЕСКО. Их посмотреть в первую очередь. Жить только в хороших отелях, потому что даже самый дорогой номер стоит не больше ста долларов. Хостелы уж совсем для молодых, кому денег жалко на жилье.

    А мне Кутаиси совсем не понравился. Я приезжал туда по работе на три дня и впечатление от этого города осталось не самое лучшее... Возможно это из-за того, что я был там как раз в самый разгар летнего сезона и была ужасная жара. Возможно, если бы я приехал на отдых, впечатления были бы другие. А еще мне очень не понравился местный общественный транспорт. Как-то редко он ходит и маршруты неудобные.

    Как я благодарна ребятам за такое подробное описание всех интересных мест Кутаиси. Из всего прочитанного поняла, что Кутаиси - именно то место, где я хотела бы обязательно побывать. Во-первых потому, что очень люблю гулять по тихим улочкам. А узнав о наличии уникального заповедника и старинных храмов - мое желание укрепилось. Ну а бонусом для меня будет отсутствие детей и криков, что вселяет уверенность в спокойном отдыхе.

    Кутаиси и окраина города, полна историческими достопримечательностями. Но это больше экскурсионный отдых. Соглашусь с Иришкой, сюда лучше на 2-3 дня, ну максимум на недельку)) Если же вас интересует ночная клубная жизнь, то Кутаиси вас разочарует.

    Вы были в Кутаиси! Ох, в Кутаиси... В Кутаиси нужно отправляться тогда, есликогда вы хотите медленный и ни к чему не обязывающий отдых. Если любите старинные архитектурные сооружения. Если любите просто гулять под солнцем и никуда не торопиться. Кутаиси все же, место, где хватает 3-4 дней, а вот потом, порядком отдохнув от суеты, стоит обратить внимание на маршруты в другие ближайшие курортные города, куда можно добраться как автобусом так и на арендованной машине.

    Это очень древний и красивый город Западной Грузии. Места, которые стоит обязательно посетить
    - это Национальный парк Сатаплия (заповедник, в котором сохранился скелет динозавра и есть уникальная смотровая площадка, сделанная из стекла) и Пещера Прометея (это самая большая и глубокая природная пустота в Грузии, где есть подземное озеро, по которому можно прокатиться на лодке)

    Город очень интересен и как по мне его лучше всего посещать с гидом. Кутаиси-один из древнейших городов Грузии и один из самых древних центров грузинской культуры. Так же о является важнейшим историческим и экономическим центром западной части страны и административным центром края Имеретия. Город полон памятников исторической архитектуры, древних монастырей, храмов и богатейших археологических музеев, и других объектов, находящихся под охраной юнеско.
