Shopping Tour in Kutaisi
The best shopping in Kutaisi isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Bagrati Cathedral and Kutaisi old town are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Kutaisi Green Bazaar — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
Kutaisi was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Colchis — the legendary destination of Jason and the Argonauts. The Bagrati Cathedral crowns a hill above the city, and the Gelati Monastery complex, founded by King David the Builder in 1106, is one of the masterpieces of Georgian medieval architecture. Nearby Prometheus Cave offers a different kind of spectacle underground.
