Prometheus Cave: A Subterranean Masterpiece

Prometheus Cave, also known as Kumistavi, is the largest and most famous cave in Georgia. Located about 20 km from Kutaisi.

It offers a nearly 1.4-kilometer walking trail through six massive chambers filled with breathtaking stalactites and stalagmites.

The cave is enlivened with colorful LED lighting and soft classical music, creating an “otherworldly” atmosphere.

Visitors can choose to exit the cave via an optional underground boat ride along a subterranean river.

The Legend: Its name is derived from the Greek myth of Prometheus, who was said to be chained to the nearby Caucasus Mountains; local legend also links it to the Georgian hero Amirani.

Practical Info: The temperature remains a constant 14°C (57°F) year-round, so a light jacket is recommended even in summer
