Relax in the sulfur bath of Abanotubani. You will recognize it by the specific smell of hydrogen sulphide.
You will notice many vaulted domed roofs of squat buildings in one of the central districts of Tbilisi. This is Abanotubani, a district known for its large concentration of sulfur baths. They just could not help appearing here. There are several dozens of sulfur springs under Tbilisi. Even in the very name of the city there is a hint of this geographical peculiarity - the root "tbili" means "warm".
Choose one of the baths that best matches your preferences. Some have common halls — for women and men, while others - only separate rooms with sauna and hot sulfur pool. Their walls are paved with bricks and the floor and baths are made of ordinary porous stone. Guests can relax on the marble in some rooms.
