Historical Ruins Tour
Medieval hilltop remains with scenic photo stops
Book this tour
This short but rewarding private tour takes you into the rolling hills northeast of Zestaponi to explore the medieval ruins of Kunakuri Castle. Built in the 12th–13th century and perched dramatically above the river valley, this fortress once guarded vital routes through the region. Today, it offers sweeping views, old stone ramparts, and peaceful surroundings for a short hike and history walk.
Reserve your timeAfter a 30-minute drive from central Zestaponi, your driver-guide will take you up a narrow rural road toward the Kunakuri ridge. A light walk (10–15 minutes) leads to the castle remains, mostly crumbled but structurally intact enough to explore with caution. It’s a great stop for photographers, history lovers, or anyone looking for off-the-path spots with authentic feel.
While there’s no signage or formal infrastructure, the site is peaceful, uncrowded, and offers panoramic views over the river basin and surrounding ridges. Footwear with grip is recommended.
This private tour lasts approximately 2.5–3 hours door-to-door, with time at the site and optional coffee stop.
Price per vehicle (1–4 people): $90.
Larger vehicle and group rates available upon request.
