The experience
A 40 m natural limestone monolith crowned by a rebuilt 9th–10th-century church — a stylite monk lived on top for two decades until 2015. Visitors walk to the base and monastery below.
Sits off the Tbilisi–Kazbegi–Svaneti axis that concentrates nearly all of Georgia's tourism.

It's only worth the detour May–Oct. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
