Bodbe Monastery is worth visiting for the beautiful religious structures on the grounds - inside and out - as well as the hillside panoramic view of the Caucasus Mountains in the distance. Several nuns live here and grow their own spices and produce, some of which you can purchase in the shop outside the monastery. There are also some small coffee shops and cafes. Plenty of parking available. Before entering the churches, women need to cover their hair, men need to remove hats, and pictures are not allowed inside.

Beautiful place. In the old church are original frescos that date back several centuries. The grounds are spectacular. Nice to walk among the roses. A new church was still under construction.

Bodbe Monastery, Sighnaghi, Georgia: Sweet Bodbe Monaatery draws more tourists than bees to honey. The view of the Alazani valley and greater Caucasus mountains, dotted by Cyprus trees is akin to an impressionist painting. This is a simple but beautiful Georgian Orthodox Church that pilgrims that flock to. #eatstylishtravelstylish

The Bodbe Monastery of Dt. Nino has the wow factor. This Monastery is located in Kakheti region in the Signagi wine valley. The grounds of this Monastery are pristine, well manicured, clean and surrounded by many flowers and plants. This Monastery attracts lots of tours and tourists. Additionally, there is the coffin of St.Nino inside and no one is allowed to take photos. OVerall it is really a wonderful place to visit in Kakheti. I highly recommend it.

Bodbe Monastery, is one of the most important religious sites and tourist attractions in Georgia. According to legend, Saint Nino, a 4th century female evangelist who brought Christianity to Georgia settled in the Bodbe area after her mission, and died there. Originally, built as a small monastery in the 9th century, it has been rebuilt several times over centuries. Currently it runs as a nunnery. It's a beautiful monastery with a colorful dome. There are some trees in the complex that are more than 500 years old. Very nice place, should not be missed.

Ironic that convents and monasteries command the best scenery. At St. Nino's you have the old chapel and a new chapel under construction. Visit the church and walk around the grounds in quiet contemplation. The grave of St. Nino is inside the old chapel. Because of St. Nino, this is a major pilgrimage site. Nino brought christianity to Georgia as a young girl and it became the official religion of the land. Even though this place is known as a monastery, it is currently a nunnery.
