Colchis, cave monasteries, and budget airline connections
The ancient kingdom of Colchis, where Greek mythology placed the Golden Fleece, is identified with the region around Kutaisi. The Argonauts, in the legend, would have arrived in a land where the Rioni River was already an organizing feature of civilization. Today the river still runs through the city, and the gorges above it hold ancient cave monasteries.
Georgiaβs permanent UTC+4 means solar noon in Kutaisi arrives around 12:40pm by the clock in winter, a modest mismatch that nobody seems bothered by. The city is geographically west of Tbilisi, so true solar noon arrives slightly earlier than in the capital.
Kutaisi has a low-cost airport that has become a connection point for budget airlines linking Georgia to Europe. The flight schedule creates an unusual daily pulse of international travelers in what is otherwise a mid-sized regional city.
9am in Kutaisi is 5am in London, four hours ahead of GMT.
