Small church and monastery with great view of Alazani valley beneath. Very nice place, beatifully restored
Bodbe Monastery is very sacred site for Georgian Christians - burial place of the revered St Nina - views are superb and the complex is well looked after. Main church is really something
This is a "must visit" place in Georgia. There is nothing I can say about more; this place should be interesting not only for pilgrim travellers but to vast audience as well.
About a 45 minute walk from the town as well as 700 plus steps down hill to a holy spring. Beautiful country side too.
Beautiful little spot with fantastic views of the Kakheti region. Go to St. Nino's Holy Spring and you can enjoy wathing the pilgrims take in the waters and fill their, sometimes very large, vessels with water from the spring. It is a perfectly enjoyable activity to add to your visit to Sighnaghi.
St. Nino's and St. George's Churches are under construction (or heavy restoration), as well as the landscape and the well-tended garden is not much more. If you want see or take holy water from St. Nino's springs you go for about one thousand steps...
Besides architectural and historical value there is a Holy Springs. You know yourself what it is for if you're Christian or otherwise I still recommend as the water is uniquely delicious and bathing in ice-cold small pool is unforgettable)
Bodbe Monastery nestles between tall Cyprus trees on a steep hillside overlooking the Alazani valley, where it commands incredible views of the Great Caucasus Range. The monastery is the final resting place of Saint Nino, 'Enlightener of Georgians. Down the hill from the monastery church, the bell-tower lies the Spring of Saint Nino, where pilgrims - or visitors - are meant to plunge themselves three times into the frigid water. The water is so numbing that it is difficult to experience the deep cold, the only feeling being an experience of tingling skin and refreshed pores after emerging into the fresh air.
Fully renovated ancient monastery located in very romantic place, on the top of the hil. Nice cafe bar to have a rest.
Interesting place, particularly if you can get in to see where Saint Nino is buried (one the chanting nun has finished and let's you get in!). Definitely worth going to see. The gardens and grounds are well-kept and very peaceful, and the views are wonderful.
