Awful. Parking is 100 rubles, toilet is 50 rubles. Everything is very expensive. You can see the fortress itself - but you won't find anything special there.

The nature around is beautiful, but there is almost no view. The fortress itself is completely uninteresting inside. Without an excursion and context, it is possible to exclude this place from the route without loss.

A well-preserved fortress. However, when walking along it, you need to look at your feet, it's easy to stumble. I do not advise fat people to climb the tower. A cramped circular staircase with uneven steps.

A beautiful ancient fortress, you can climb to its top by a spiral staircase, from where you can enjoy a stunning view. An enterprising Georgian opens a barrier at the exit from the parking lot for a fee of 3 lari. It's not much, but there is no sign that sightseeing is paid.

A distinctive feature of Georgian architectural monuments is the ability to climb everywhere, and not on restored stairs with railings and lighting, but on dilapidated fragments of the original masonry, which sometimes requires climbing experience.

A very beautiful and romantic place. This place is especially remarkable and picturesque during a flood of water - it turns blue in the reservoir. For wedding photos - the very thing. It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Tbilisi.

Ananuri Fortress is located on the Georgian Military Road, at a distance of 12 kilometers from the town of Ananuri of the same name. In fact, the Georgian Military Road itself is already the most important landmark of Georgia, there are a lot of memorable places along it. Ananuri Fortress was built on the banks of the Aragvi River, at the mouth of the Vedzathevi River. The exact date of its construction is unknown — the construction of one of its towers dates back to the 13th century. The first detailed descriptions of the castle itself date back to the beginning of the 18th century. Initially, a tower was built on the site of the fortress, which was later surrounded by a fortress. Built for defensive purposes, Ananuri was an important outpost. During the period of civil strife among the Eristavs (13th century) it performed a protective function, preventing attacks from the Daryal Gorge and allowing, if necessary, retreat into the mountains. The entire perimeter of the fortress walls has been preserved to this day. Three temples, several small towers and two large ones are available for inspection and study, of which one is the earliest structure on the site of the fortress. From the point of view of architecture, the Assumption Church, built in 1689, is of the greatest value in Ananuri. It has classical proportions and a cross-domed type of architecture, its facade is decorated with decorative elements in the form of crosses and vines, which is not typical for buildings of that period. To the west of the Assumption Church is the older church of the Virgin Mary, also called the Spassky.

The place leaves a positive response. But everything is kind of unattended. There is a market nearby, but we were not very happy when we realized that we were from Russia. They didn't say anything bad, but there was rejection and they stopped communicating. Parking is paid, but there are a couple of places along the road. Entrance to the fortress is free. But we liked it better down by the water. If you walk around, you can find many beautiful landscapes. You can take a camera and take a lot of good shots. You can also have a picnic by the water.

Beauty. There is a landscaped playground nearby. 2023 there is no beach. The reservoir has been lowered, it is being cleaned. There is plenty of parking space for a motorhome. There are a lot of begging dogs, but they are kind.
