photogenic
A 123 sq km lake at 1,959m near the Georgian and Armenian borders that freezes solid each winter, when locals run horse-drawn sledges across the ice and pull fish through drilled holes. Bleak and treeless the rest of the year.
41 km · about 45 min drive
castle
A fortress in Akhaltsikhe founded in the 9th century and rebuilt wholesale in 2011-12, where a mosque, minaret, Orthodox church and synagogue stand within one set of walls. Controversially over-restored, and undeniably striking.
47 km · about 55 min drive
mountain pass
2,025 m pass on the old Batumi–Akhaltsikhe road through the green Adjarian mountains, linking subtropical coast to volcanic highlands past timber villages and a fledgling ski resort.
