Thrillist.com included Stepantsminda in the list of The Most Breathtakingly Beautiful Small Towns in the World.

“Architecture and natural beauty rarely enjoy such harmony. All eyes in this valley village face the hilltop 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church and its neighboring belltower — both of which enjoy glacier-capped, 16,560-foot Mount Kazbek as their backdrop.

Natural beauty aside, Stepantsminda is the perfect base camp for exploring Kazbegi National Park’s hot springs, waterfalls, and lakes both acidic and carbonated.

You’re mere miles from the Russian border, which is not as merry a conversation topic here as, say, white versus red — this winery-laden country contains more than 500 grape varietals,” writes Bruce Northam for the publication.
