📷MarketFriday – MTSKHETA market
Have a nice Friday, everyone!
Today #MarketFriday, initiated by @dswigle
Today, we take a virtual tour, I'll show you the market in Mtskheta (Georgia). A trip to Mtskheta is like a journey through time. It is a small and very ancient city with a rich history. You should visit it if you like sightseeing holidays and breathtaking mountain scenery.
The city was founded in the first century BC.
Mtskheta is a small town in eastern Georgia. This is the ancient capital of the Georgian kingdom. Located 20 km from Tbilisi, where the Aragva River and the Kura.
By modern standards, it is certainly not a city, but rather a large village.
Mtskheta is popular among tourists from all over the world. Georgian authorities are investing in the restoration of extant monuments.
Christian pilgrims come to Mtskheta to look at ancient temples. Christianity was first adopted in Mtskheta in 327 AD e.
See, this is Jvari Temple.
However, we came to the market
Visited the souvenir market.
Oh, these souvenir shops.
It is impossible to pass by churchkhela and marshals that sell in Mtskheta.
Spices, spices .. a lot of different ... Ararat spices is in the air. Here we bought the Georgian seasonings
Chacha is a Georgian pomace brandy.
Fruit Vodka

And this with raspberries.
Everyone will feel the spirit of time here, even just walking the streets.
Jewelry. The products are made in a unique technique of closure enamel “Minakari”, which came to Georgia from Byzantium.

Thanks for your time!
Oh, beauty! I love the towns that have ancient history attached to them! From the first glance as you enter the cobblestoned street past the church with the giant turret-like architecture and pretty stained glass. With an entry like that, you know it's going to be something special!
I love how the narrow, winding streets guide you through the town. You need not to know the way, just follow your nose. :)) Or follow the spice trail of aroma!
They always seem to put the souvenirs first in every town! I like it at the very end when I am finished looking. Actually, I hardly ever buy souvenirs but like to look at some of the other items offered.
The food really tempted me! Oh, the smells as you are walking by would make any hungry traveler want to stop. Yes, please!
Oh! Yes! A little Chacha is exactly what I am looking for! The fruited vodkas are so popular, but, it is the brandy for me! The bottles are what really make it so cool looking!
And lastly, the jewelry is what I was really after. The pieces look beautiful from here. Did you get to see them up close? Were they as pretty looking and would you wear it?

Those brandy bottles look so great, too bad I'm not a drinker. The jewelry on the other hand is tempting. Nice entry.
