The rest of the afternoon is free for you to discover Sheki. Why not explore the impressive traditional architecture on foot.

Spend the rest of the daytime as you wish, perhaps grabbing a khachapuri (bread stuffed with salty cheese) to snack on while you wander. In the evening, regroup and head out for dinner with your fellow travellers and leader. This is a good chance to munch down on khinkali, Georgia’s famous dumplings. Make sure to ask your leader about the polite way to eat them – it involves sucking out the juice and leaving the pinched bit of dough where the edges of the delicious parcel have joined on the plate. Included Activities: -<description>Tbilisi - Orientation Walk</description> -<description>Tbilisi - Anchiskhati Church</description> Optional Activities: -<description>Tbilisi - Metekhi Church - Free</description>","lat":"41.706078","lng":"44.829869"},{"title":"Day 10: Tbilisi","name":"Tbilisi","description":"Today is a free day in Tsibili to explore at your own pace.

Wander some of the empty halls and rooms that seem straight out of an apocalyptic movie, featuring decorated ceilings, grand pillars, huge staircases and lots of graffiti. This atmosphere also makes for some great photos!

When you arrive, you’ll get your bearings with your local leader on an orientation walk. Then, you have a free afternoon to explore at your own pace. Maybe see the Rabati Fortress and Castle – the massive 9th-century fortification gives the surrounding settlement (‘New Castle’ in Georgian) its name.

Within the complex, there’s a rock-hewn church with 12th-century frescos, dwelling quarters, small, hall-type churches, refectories and wine cellars. You’ll take a tour of the site with a local guide who will give some historical context and explain the rise and fall of the city, which now serves as a working monastery. Then, continue across the border into Armenia, arriving in Gyumri around lunchtime. Head out for a walking tour of the city with your leader and visit a local bakery – the first inclusive café in Armenia to employ young adults living with disabilities and mothers with special needs children.
