It can be a very nice trip - as long as you get a proper guide. Many of them try to scam you so do your research beforehand. The village is a bit dirty but for me, there's something special there. I enjoyed the boat ride.
My favorite restaurant in Kutaisi for it's by the river location. The sound of the flowing water, even though a bit loud sometimes, is relaxing and great to hear while you eat. Food is good, mostly local cuisine but you can order some salads as sides too.
GTNP is a beautiful location full of wildlife, majestic views, and outdoors activities! There are things for history buffs, outdoors enthusiasts, fishers, photographers, kids, lake people, and hikers. Be sure to add this beautiful park to your bucket list!
