Our Baths

Sulphur Bath Houses

The bath district is called Abanotubani, and the baths are much more luxurious than I imagined. There are large public baths and smaller private rooms you can hire for you and your family. Each of the baths have a separate changing room with comfortable sofas to relax after your dip in hot hydrosulfuric water. The temperature of the water ranges from 38°C to 45°C, and we had the latter. Just sit in such water - and all diseases will be gone.

 

Long time ago the people not only washed themselves there but also socialized sometimes until dawn; and the city matchmakers arranged presentation of marriageable girls on special days. In the baths they threw parties, made deals.
