Overview
Discover the haunting charm of the Tskaltubo Abandoned Sanatoriums Tour, where mystery, history, and faded grandeur come together. Once a luxurious health resort of the Soviet Union–era Georgia, Tskaltubo was famous for its healing mineral waters and magnificent sanatoriums. Today, these silent structures stand as powerful reminders of a glorious yet forgotten time.
During the tour, you’ll explore the most iconic abandoned sanatoriums — Medea, Metalurgi, and Meshakhte — each telling its own story of Soviet elegance and architectural ambition. Walk through grand marble halls, spiral staircases, and sunlit courtyards where nature has gently reclaimed what people left behind.
You’ll also visit the Tskaltubo Mineral Springs, once renowned for their therapeutic baths. Though now abandoned and silent, the springs preserve the spirit of an era when thousands came seeking rest and rejuvenation under the ideals of Soviet wellness culture.
This tour is a perfect experience for history enthusiasts, urban explorers, architecture admirers, and photographers searching for breathtaking and atmospheric locations. Explore a unique piece of Soviet Georgia’s past — where every wall and corridor still whispers stories of another time.
