Gelati Monastery is a medieval monastic complex founded in the early twelfth century by King David the Builder and listed by UNESCO, set on a wooded hillside north-east of Kutaisi. From the airport the road crosses the plain into Kutaisi, passes through the city and then climbs a winding mountain road into the hills above the Tskaltsitela valley. The last section is narrow with tight bends, so the drive takes a little longer than the distance suggests.
The complex includes the Cathedral of the Virgin with its mosaics and frescoes, the churches of St George and St Nicholas, the bell tower and the former academy building, all inside a walled enclosure. Cars stop at the parking area just below the gate, and the grounds are visited on foot. Motsameta Monastery stands on a cliff above the Tskaltsitela river a few kilometres away, on a side road off the route to Gelati, and many visitors combine the two.
Public transport instead: United Airports of Georgia (airport shuttle bus) Airport shuttle from Kutaisi International Airport to Kutaisi city centre, adjusted to the flight schedule. No direct public transport from the airport to Gelati Monastery. The airport shuttle bus reaches Kutaisi city centre; the monastery lies in the hills north-east of the city.
