Prometheus Cave
Was discovered on July 15, 1983 by the expedition of the Institute of Geography of Georgia, although the entrance in the form of a large arch was known for a long time.
Since 1985, the cave has been converted into an excursion facility. In 1989, an excursion route was already laid in the cave, a 150-meter tunnel at the exit was punched, temporary lighting was installed and construction of above-ground buildings began. In 1990, the project of the excursion cave equipment was closed.
In March 2007, managers of French excursion caves were invited to the cave, who estimated the condition of the cave, as an excursion site, and the amount of necessary work to complete the project. In 2009, tests of LED and music equipment began.
May 26, 2011 it was opened for visitors.
