The Shio Mgvime monastery is located in a beautiful forest place on the left bank of the river Kura in Georgia. The road follows a narrow canyon from the main square in the town Mtskheta. The medieval monastery consists by several buildings from different periods: The oldest one is the Monastery of St. John the Baptist (dated 560-580) - the simple cruciform building with octagonal dome; The Upper Church Theotokos (12th c) was a domed church destroyed by invasion and in 1678 was restored as Basilica; Refectory (12th -17th cc); the Cave of St. Shio (6th c ) and a small chapel (12th c) adorned with medieval murals stands separately on a nearby hill.

Strofi Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Cozy and clean Staff was accommodating "

Ibis Budget Tbilisi Center

10/10 Excellent

"Affordable price and good location are what this hotel is alll about. Staff are great and helpful. Yes the rooms are pretty basic, but they are clean. Only down side, thin walls, so you can hear everything going on around you. Would definitely stay here again, just fir the convenience. "
