Market and Cholokashvili Street

Start by the market, with cheese, produce, spices and churchkhela stalls. Shopping is optional; confirm prices before buying

Continue to Cholokashvili Street and the brick Mother of God Church. View the balconies from public streets and respect residential courtyards

Finish on Akhvlediani Street

Continue through the town to the house with the Lesya Ukrainka memorial plaque. The inscription records the writer’s residence here in 1908

This is a façade stop, not a museum visit. The route ends away from its starting point; plan the return separately
