A hidden gem in Georgia

Driving back to Tbilisi from Batumi, we visited the Prometheus Cave along the way. The Prometheus Cave is a very famous natural scenic spot, located in the Kumistavi village of Tskaltubo city in the Kumi River Basin. It is about 60-70 million years old, and the cave is narrow and long, resembling a galaxy with a total length of about 1.7 kilometers. We reached the deepest part 80 meters underground. There are 22 halls in total, but only 6 are open to tourists. I didn't post any photos of the cave, as it's impossible to capture the awe and wonder it inspires. It's better to leave some suspense for future explorers to experience for themselves. Outside the cave, there is a statue of the discoverer of the cave, Jumber Jishkariani. We also visited the Martvili Canyon along the way. The canyon is deep and long, the river is clear emerald green, and the pure white waterfall rushes down from the high ground of the canyon, presenting a strong, highly saturated contrast of beauty. Passing through a village, a warm-hearted old man invited us to pick persimmons in his yard😊.
