A Serene Stop in Georgia’s Sacred Landscape

Just a few minutes outside Sighnaghi, Bodbe Monastery rests quietly above the Alazani Valley. This active convent, dedicated to Saint Nino—the woman credited with bringing Christianity to Georgia—is a popular pilgrimage site as well as a quiet retreat for reflection.

Our private transfer includes pickup in Sighnaghi, a short scenic drive, and time to walk through the gardens, visit the chapel, light a candle, or sit beneath the cypress trees. The driver waits for you nearby—no rush, no pressure. Whether for spiritual reasons or peaceful surroundings, Bodbe is a calming stop for all visitors.
