Why go

Bodbe Monastery stands a short journey from Sighnaghi and is closely associated with Saint Nino. The church and grounds make this a distinct outing from the hilltown: one to take at a slower, more considerate pace rather than fold into a walk around the walls.

The monastery is an active religious place as well as a visitor stop. Leave time to look around respectfully, follow guidance on access and dress, and decide on your return to Sighnaghi before heading out. Any visit beyond the main grounds needs its own time allowance.
