Mestia Essentials

Mestia serves as the gateway to the Greater Caucasus, characterized by its UNESCO-listed defensive towers and high-altitude scenery. This collection features the region's most significant cultural sites, including the Svaneti Museum's medieval gold icons and the ancestral home of mountaineer Mikheil Khergiani. It also highlights the natural landmarks of the Enguri Valley, from the towering peaks of Ushba and Shkhara to the Shdugra waterfall and the glacial moraines of the Svaneti range.
