It offers one of the best views in Georgia. You will see the city of Mtskheta with the majestic Svetitskhoveli Temple and the confluence of the colorful Kura and Aragvi rivers.
If you have already reached Mtskheta, then you should definitely visit this place. We used taxi services in the town itself, the trip cost 20 GEL.
As I understand it, this building is considered the oldest in the country.

The monastery and temple of the first half of the 7th century, is located on the top of a mountain at the confluence of two rivers Kura and Aragvi near Mtskheta-where the Holy equal-to-the-Apostles Nina historically erected a cross. Jvari is the first World Heritage Monument in Georgia (since 1994), the temple is a large tetraconch-shaped church consecrated in honor of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Jvari, along with the neighboring Zedazen Monastery, is considered the setting of Lermontov's poem "Mtsyri".

This amazing place is called Jvari. It is difficult to drive past it, except out of ignorance. But if you don't visit it, consider that you haven't been to Georgia.
It offers stunning views of Mtskheta and the confluence of two rivers — the Aragvi and the Kura. For those who like to take pictures, I recommend coming here in the morning. In the evening, the sun and shadows from the temple can prevent you from taking high-quality pictures.
Art historians are still arguing about which monastery served as the prototype for the creation of the poem "Mtsyri" — Jvari or Svetitskhoveli. But the spirit of the poem is definitely present here.
There is a caretaker at the temple — a holy woman, I think her name is also Nino. She will tell you all about the history, architecture and secrets of the temple, show you the places where you can not go. And she also sells candles of happiness with an angel. Be sure to purchase them and thank this place and her.

A sacred place of Georgia, sung by many Russian poets and visited by almost all tourists. An ancient temple on a high mountain, which offers a magnificent view of the "streams of Aragva and Kura" merging in this place, and the town of Mtskheta with the huge Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, where, according to legend, the chiton of Jesus Christ is kept.

The beautiful decoration of Jvari and the stunning view of the confluence of the Kura and Aragvi rivers.
There is a healing spring below at the place where Saint Nino prayed.
I recommend.

One of the most beautiful places in Georgia. The lines from "Mtsyri" come to life before our eyes. Be sure to include this place in your visit plan. Describing beauty is a thankless task, it's still impossible to convey what the eyes see. Come here and enjoy, you won't regret it

A few years ago,
Where, merging, they make noise,
Hugging like two sisters,
Streams of Aragva and Chickens,
There was a monastery. Because of the mountain
And now a pedestrian sees it
The pillars of the collapsed gate,
Both the towers and the church vault...
Mtsyri. Lermontov M.Y. 1839
A historical and sacred place, incredible views from observation decks, easy access, close proximity to parking.
Of the minuses, I would only mention the incredible number of vandals who marked themselves, who left scars on the body of the Temple, as well as the total amount of garbage on the territory.
In such iconic places, in my opinion, it is necessary to charge a minimum entrance fee to keep the place clean and limit the flow of marginals who came here not for emotions, but to leave their mark.
I strongly recommend it

It's a beautiful place. Definitely worth a visit. One of the most important places in Georgia. The building has been partially reconstructed.
The view that opens from this place to the confluence of two rivers is simply magnificent.
It's not difficult to get there. We were driving our own car, the road is good. There are also guided tours to the monastery

On my first trip to Georgia, I never got to this place. I corrected this misunderstanding for the second time. From here there is a stunning view of the confluence of two rivers, we did not go inside the monastery, walked around the territory, took a photo. From Tbilisi literally half an hour by car. Despite the large number of people, there were no problems with parking. I recommend the place to visit!

A place for a mandatory visit. The history of the temple is unique and tragic. The important thing is that we can worship the shrine of this temple in our time. The views around the temple are divine. The place is significant for Christians. It is said about him by M. Y. Lermontov in the poem "Mtsyri".

This is a place of power, salted, where every stone is saturated with history and epochs. I definitely recommend getting there. You can get to Mtskheta, and any taxi driver will take you there and back from the center for 20 GEL and will wait for you there for 30 minutes and treat you to homemade wine near the lake.
