Transport
Getting around Tskaltubo
The historic spa core is walkable, especially around Central Park. Taxis are inexpensive and useful for cave trips and outlying hotels. Kutaisi is close enough for easy day travel. A car is unnecessary for a short spa-focused stay but becomes useful if you want to combine several caves, canyons and rural attractions.
Problems worth knowing
Assuming every famous sanatorium is publicly accessible
Ownership, restoration and security conditions change frequently.
Treating Prometheus Cave as central Tskaltubo
The cave is in the municipality but outside the town center and requires separate transport.
Overloading cave days
Prometheus, Sataplia, Tetra and canyon attractions require real walking and driving time even though they are geographically close.
Relying on old urban-exploration blogs
Access information for sanatoria ages quickly and may encourage trespassing into buildings that are no longer abandoned.
