Borjomi

Borjomi is a resort town in south-central Georgia, 160 km from Tbilisi. The town is noted for:

• Its mineral water industry.
• The Romanov summer palace in Likani.

On this tour, you will visit Borjomi’s mineral water park, dating back to 1850. It occupies a narrow wooded valley and includes the town’s original mineral water source, Ekaterina Spring, straight ahead from the entrance to the park. You can also walk about 3km upstream to several small, spring-fed swimming pools with a constant temperature of about 27°C. If you plan to walk there, bring your swimming suit and flip-flops; towels are provided. You can also use an old cableway to visit the upper part of Borjomi central park. There is a nice view of the city.
