Prometheus Cave

2-min read

Discovered only in 1984 near Kutaisi, Prometheus Cave is Georgia’s grandest show cave: a chain of huge halls hung with stalactites, with an underground river at the bottom and a walking route through about a kilometre and a half of it.

The name nods to the Amirani/Prometheus legend of the Caucasus. The coloured lighting and piped classical music divide opinion — kitsch to some, magic to others — but the scale of the halls needs no help at all.

🎒 A constant ~14° inside whatever the summer is doing — bring the layer you packed for mountain evenings. Paths are damp; hold the rail.
