  In this old monastery you can find original tools used for making wine. I recommend climbing all the way up the mountain (1.5 km) because it gives you very nice view of the area. In the church, just like in all Georgian churches, women should cover their heads with a scarf. There is a little shop inside which offers wine made here by the monks.

  An amazing view of the valley and a very well kept monastery will make the steep road completely worth it.

  A beautiful ancient church built in the 4th century, rest on top of a mountain. To get there from the carpark, either pay 1.5 lari to take a mini bus or walk 1.5km at a steep road. Nice view up there.

  Nekresi is a historic town in Kakheti, Georgia, Kvareli Municipality. The town was established by king Pharnajom (around 2nd-1st centuries BC). In the 4th century AD, king Thrdat built a church in this place. This church became a refuge to one of the Assyrian fathers, Abibus, in the late 6th century. Around this time Diocese of Nekresi was established, which existed until the 19th century.

  Great place and amazing views. But we could not drive our car up to the monastery, instead we had to use the minibuses after a bargain to get us up and waited 20 min till its full. This practice is in every nice place in Georgia, the leave the last section of the roads to badly blackmail tourists.

  After the torture of the 1.5km walk up the road, you can enjoy the stunning views of the valley below and the great architecture of the buildings all beautifully restored. The church has some remnants of the original frescos, but they are very difficult to view in the very dark church. No photos allowed inside. We copped a bit of rain and sleet so the low cloud affected the view somewhat. Good exercise and fresh air!

  Small church from IV. century maybe does not looks like much, but one can really feel the history here. The monastery is a peaceful place with great view over the Alazani valley. The bus drive up and down the hill is an experience on it's own.
