Located 20 kilometers from Kutaisi, this vast show cave descends 40 to 80 meters below sea level. The interior maintains a constant temperature of 14 degrees Celsius (57 degrees Fahrenheit) year-round. Visitors walk along well-lit paved paths with a mandatory site guide.

Foreign adult tickets cost 20 GEL in 2026. Touching the formations is strictly prohibited to protect the environment. An optional underground boat ride is available at the end of the walking route, but you must purchase this add-on ticket before starting your tour.
