Kutaisi, Georgia
Kutaisi is Georgia's third largest city in the country in terms of both size and population. It used to be the capital of the of the Kingdom of Georgia in the Middle Ages. In an effort to both decentralise the Georgian government and acknowledge the importance of the city, the Parliament of Georgia was moved to Kutaisi in 2012.
The photos shown from this point onward were taken in chronological order, starting from the time when my BFF and I walked from Kutaisi I train station to
Hotel Old Town.

| Nope, we didn't take the flight of stairs down. |

| If I'm not mistaken, that's the Church of St. David and St. Constantine. |

 |
| We crossed Rioni River via Chain Bridge. |
We unknowingly walked towards the direction of Kutaisi Park. We only made a brief stop there without taking a stroll in the park.

| Akaki Tsereteli was a famous poet and national liberation movement figure. |
Kutaisi has got an opera and ballet theatre named after Meliton Balanchivadze, a renowned opera singer and composer whose son was a ballet master.

| Is there a missing statue behind, if you get what I mean? |
 |
| Ruined by unwelcomed graffiti... |
Having had enough of walking around, we made our way back to the hotel. Anyway, for dinner, we went to
Bar-Restaurant Palaty that's located close to the hotel.

| A hotel, perhaps? |
Given that we only had less than 24 hours in Kutaisi, there was no way for us to cover many places of interests. Should you stay longer in the region, you may want to consider Kumistavi Cave (lit. Cave of Prometheus), which is the biggest cave in Georgia. It's located approximately 20 km away from Kutaisi.
