It is a long day. Expect 3.5 to 4 hours of driving each way, totaling about 7-8 hours in the car.

Wear comfortable walking shoes for the abandoned sanatoriums and bring swimwear if you plan to visit open pools.

Yes, there are many highway stops near Gori or Zestafoni offering traditional Georgian food like Khachapuri.

Q: Can I explore the abandoned Soviet sanatoriums in Tskaltubo safely?

They are popular but decaying. Be careful of uneven floors and crumbling structures; stay on marked paths.

Q: Should I hire a private driver or take a marshrutka for this route?

A private driver is highly recommended for this specific trip to save time and allow flexible stops in Tskaltubo.
