About this tour
This session follows Prometheus Cave, a limestone system outside Kutaisi with an underground river still running through it. You see the largest illuminated chamber and its slow-grown stalactites, then the river section itself. It is a cool, steady session built around geology rather than history.
We move gradually from chamber to chamber, giving the formations time to read in the light, then reach the river toward the end. I explain how the cave formed as we go and take questions once we are near the water.
It suits anyone curious about geology or looking for a cooler session on a hot Imereti day, and it pairs well with Sataplia's caves and footprints nearby.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

The camera moves through the cave's largest illuminated chamber, and I point out the stalactite formations that took thousands of years to grow.

We reach the section where an underground river still flows through the cave, and I explain how boats sometimes carry visitors along a stretch of it.

-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Khachapuri Imeruli and Rioni riverside, worth a slower look.
