Poka Monastery
Due to the harsh winters and frequent winds, the plains of Javakheti can feel inhospitable. However, the hearts of the people living in this region are full of warmth and hospitality. We will stop at the Poka Monastery, where St. Nino, the baptizer of Georgia, spent the night on her way to Mtskheta. The nuns of the Poka Monastery make their own chocolate, cheeses, jams, liqueurs, tinctures, honey, bread, candles, and other souvenirs and sweets, which you can enjoy on the road and bring home as gifts.
