Rusty Charm & Cliffside Vibes in Chiatura

#summervacay Exploring Chiatura feels like stepping into a forgotten movie set, in the coolest way possible. This little town is tucked between cliffs and rivers, with old era cable cars dangling overhead like they're frozen in time. Some still work, some just hang there looking mysterious. It’s weirdly beautiful. I wandered around the streets, and everything felt raw and real. Rusty buildings, dramatic rock walls and locals just going about their day like it’s totally normal to live in a vertical town. The vibe is super chill, no touristy fluff, just pure Georgia. The views from the hills are awesome, especially when you spot the Katskhi Pillar in the distance, this insane monastery perched on top of a skinny rock. Like, how did anyone even build that? Chiatura isn’t fancy, but that’s the point. It’s full of stories, strange charm, and a gritty kind of beauty. If you’re into offbeat adventures and exploring places that feel untouched, Chiatura is calling.
