Коджори и пригороды

На горах к юго-западу от Тбилиси воздух прохладнее, и ещё в XIX веке горожане выезжали сюда на дачи. В Коджори сохранились старые деревянные дачи с резными верандами, одни отреставрированы, другие заброшены. В галерее Успенский монастырь с колокольней, советский монумент с барельефами, терракотовое древо жизни на фасаде, фонтаны и заснеженный парк. Рядом Кикети с церквями и водопадом над сланцевыми скалами, Табахмела с новой каменной базиликой и лесным рестораном, Цавкиси с загородными площадками для праздников. В ущелье реки Вере стоит монастырь Бетания рубежа XII и XIII веков, знаменитый фреской с царицей Тамар.
