Why visit
Dartlo is a cluster of stone and slate houses and towers on a slope above the Pirikiti Alazani river, about 12 km from Omalo. It is often described as an open-air museum of Tushetian architecture.
What to expect
Few people live in Dartlo year-round, but in summer guesthouses open and the village fills with walkers and riders. The church on the outskirts is a protected monument under restoration. Combine the village with a walk further up the valley, or stay overnight for a quieter evening.
