Kolkheti lowland is a historical place, beautifully lit by the sun rays, with a spectacular panoramic view from the hill in the Imereti region. Here is the Matkhoji St. Nino Convent, a small church constructed with white stones, hidden in the verdancy, there are also monastic cells. The monastery was founded in 1893, on the ruins of a church built in the 16th century. During the communist era, the service was temporarily suspended. One can visit the monastery at any time in order to relax and get acquainted with the monastic life. Nuns are engaged in organic agriculture and they keep livestock. Traditional handicrafts, icon painting and more will be studied there.
Visitors in the monastery should be aware that in the yard one may come across a large Georgian shepherd dog, it is friendly to people though.
Address: the village of Matkhoji, Khoni municipality
