This mountain village in Georgia's Samtsikhe-Javakheti region, set in the Otskhe river valley on the southern slopes of the Meskheti Range, is home to an astrophysical observatory and a cluster of tuberculosis sanatoriums — a pairing that reflects its long history as both a scientific outpost and a health retreat. The village sits a short drive from Akhaltsikhe.
