Travel Guide Gori Djvari

A third possibility of excursion if you stay in Gori. From the town you will always see on the right bank of the Kura this impressive rock piton with, at its foot, a small church. It is the Saint George-de-la-Croix church. It is an adventure, given the state of the road, but we will not regret it. The view above the valley is magnificent. The church has a picturesque location that it is not in itself beautiful and that it is open only from April to October, on Tuesday, day of procession for the inhabitants of Gori. Gori Djvari is in reality a reproduction of the 1980 s of a church of the century, destroyed many times, but the reproduction is faithful to the faithful. On the right of the church, one can note a stone covering a souterrain (wine cellar). At the foot of the stairs leading to the church, you can see an impressive display on the terrace terrace to sacrifice the sheep, a widespread practice in Chida Kartlie.Transport. You must cross the Kura in Gori, then turn right after the bridge. Then you have to follow the road for 2 km, then bypass the piton and take the road that measures her behind. We will go up to a village, we must continue to go up to the church. The road is a bad track; a 4 x 4 will take place without problems; in good weather, a Lada should also do this. You can ask the Gori taxis what they think about it; if they accept, they are able to go. You can also take you to the foot of the piton and ask the taxi to wait down, the climb should take 40 minutes.
