Story

In the 12th century, the King of Georgia, George the 3rd, went to Javakheti along with his daughter Tamar, who later on became the first female ruler of the united Georgia. While the king was distracted with hunting, he did not notice the absence of Tamar . His viziers Immediately started the search. During one of the shouts: “Where are you, Tamar?” Tamar responded by saying “I am here uncle!” This phrase translates as “Ak Var Dzia”, and that is why this place is called Vardzia.

Old-New

However our history has not started in the 12th century, It goes way back to 5-6 thousand years ago, in the era of Eneolite, when humanity first started to exploit this area that grew into great culture and history. It grew into our inspiration to build a bridge between history and modernity. On one hand a pristine, preserved culture, environment, traditions and on the other hand modern comforts and services are being combined with each other at our resort.
