Svaneti (3) Mestia

Mestia is where we found our home-stay, and was our base for the days we spent in Svaneti. From here we toured out, to Usghuli the first day, and for a long hike up to a glacier the second day. In between these side trips we did wander around the town a bit. Here are some representative pictures of what we saw there.

run by the Svan wife (left) of our driver.

The rooms were comfortable

and she made some great food.


We did visit the museum


Shoes and snowshoes

And, here are some representative views in the town.
