Later, we will move to the Samegrelo region to discover the magic of Martvili Canyon. This place seems straight out of a fairy tale, with its intense turquoise waters and dense vegetation. If water levels permit, we will take a relaxing boat ride on the Abasha River, sailing between moss-covered rock walls, and walk along scenic trails surrounded by crystal-clear waterfalls.
