Samtskhe-Javakheti Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Street sign at the entrance to the Mtsvane Monastery outside of Borjomi, Georgia.

"Mtsvane" translates to "green" in the Georgian language.

This monastery is a short marshutka or taxi ride from central Borjomi - if you visit, I recommend walking the distance from here to the main monastery.

The Green Monastery is located just outside of the resort city of Borjomi.  The monastery itself is a short walk up the dirt road that's visible in this picture.
