Old Sanitoriums and Bathhouses

Only twenty minutes by car from Kutaisi, you'll encounter one of Georgia’s quirkiest yet captivating experiences. Tskaltubo, an old spa town, is home to a bounty of old sanatoriums and bathhouses that’ll transport you into what feels like a post-apocalyptic television set of "The Walking Dead." In its heyday, Tskaltubo was a popular destination for relaxation and therapeutic balneotherapy treatments, with patrons including none other than Stalin himself. Following Georgia's independence, the town fell into disrepair, and nature began to reclaim its territory.
