We are traveling around the world for one year and totally circumnavigating the world. We are taking the world’s longest train / overland journey from Portugal to Singapore and are currently in Georgia. Nestled into the Caucasus mountains at the border between Europe and Asia, Georgia is a place where tradition meets modernity. We’re so excited to explore everything this country has to offer. If you’re looking to discover must-see spots, taste traditional Georgian food, and uncover hidden gems in Georgia, our month long quest will have it all, so you can decide if you should visit Georgia.
We set out on a day trip from Kutaisi to do a little urban exploring. We dive into the abandoned Soviet sanatoriums of Tskaltubo, Georgia. Once a luxurious spa town for soviet elites, this famous spa town is known for its healing thermal baths. Tskaltubo was a top destination for the well off during the Soviet era. Now, these eerie and abandoned buildings tell a different story, making them a perfect location for UrbEx enthusiasts. We explore the decaying grandeur of abandoned sanatoriums, Soviet-era architecture, find Soviet art and Soviet mosaics, and the hauntingly beautiful Tskaltubo baths. From crumbling marble columns to overgrown courtyards, these forgotten relics are steeped in history. Join us as we uncover the hidden past of Tskaltubo, once a bustling retreat for Soviet elites, and now an abandoned urban decay site. If you're interested in urban exploration, abandoned places, or the history of the Soviet Union, this is the ultimate location to experience haunting soviet architecture.
