Samtavro is a wonderful monastery.
Clean area, it's great that there is drinking water at the entrance!
Convenient parking for a car.
A blessed place!!!
We were inside. I really liked everything.
And the apartment was rented with a view of the monastery.
The ringing of bells was heard at the same time.
Probably a call to prayer.
Everything is wonderful!
It is magnificent, beautiful, quite monumental, refined and well maintained. I consider this place a must-visit. We came from Yerevan by car, the road is quite comfortable by local standards, I don't remember how long to drive, but not for long. We examined everything in no more than an hour and went to see the next attraction.
To describe the monasteries and temples in Georgia, one review is not enough, these are just gorgeous places, with a special nature, a special style (all buildings of 4-6 centuries), made of beautiful stones and an unusually beautiful sky. We went to Georgia in September to visit holy places, each place left its own special episode in life. As it turned out, Samtavro has the most pilgrims, because of our modern Saint Gabriel Urgebadze. By the grace of God, we have visited these holy places.
