Mestia, Georgia
Mestia is a central city of Svaneti region. Located 128 kilometers from the capital, it’s a good idea to make a stop here if you’re already heading to Zugdidi. Even though flights operate from Natakhtari to Mestia’s Queen Tamar Airport, your trip might be canceled last minute due to weather conditions.
One of the most remote regions of Georgia, Svaneti has managed to retain its medieval defensive towers, traditions, and treasury. For adventure lovers and hikers, Mestia is an excellent base town. Svaneti offers one of the most beautiful lakes and hiking opportunities in the whole country.
