Getting there

Car

From Tbilisi, take the E117 highway towards Telavi. Continue on this road for approximately 100 kilometers until you reach the town of Telavi. Once in Telavi, follow the signs for Pshaveli and then Ninotsminda. The final stretch will take you through scenic countryside roads. Upon reaching Ninotsminda, you will see signs directing you to the Ninotsminda Cathedral. Parking is available near the cathedral.

Public Transportation

From Tbilisi, take a marshrutka (minibus) from Didube Bus Station to Telavi. The journey takes about 2-3 hours and costs around 10 GEL. Once you arrive in Telavi, you will need to catch another marshrutka heading towards Ninotsminda. This second leg of the journey will take approximately 30-40 minutes and should cost about 5-7 GEL. The marshrutka will drop you off near the cathedral. From there, it's a short walk to the entrance.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route, you can hire a taxi from Tbilisi to Ninotsminda. This option is more expensive, typically ranging from 100 to 150 GEL, but it provides a door-to-door service. The taxi ride takes approximately 2 hours, depending on traffic. Ensure that you negotiate the fare before starting your journey.
