The yard of the church is planted by different plants/flowers. They (church people) kept only narrow path to walk in between to reach the fence - from where there is a view to the Mtskheta, river Mtkvati and Tbilisi. Years ago there was amazing green grass growing in the yard of the church and was full access to the fence from where you could see Mtskheta, river Mtkvari and Tbilisi.

It worths a visit for the nice panoramic views of Mtskheta and Tbilisi. Better to leave your car at the town and walk up to the Monastery.

It's absolutely worth to go there. The view is fantastic. Right now the road up there is under construction. You can drive by car but actually I would recommend a 4x4. Maybe in a few month they finished their work. I did it with my offroad-motorbike and it was fun.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
